Not only do good lubricants make a difference but also great truck tyre guys.

Does any one know if they deliver to New Zealand?

It is true, maintaining your equipment keeps it going longer. leaky basement

Chain maintenance is one of those things that's easy to overlook until it starts costing you performance. A couple of things I'd add: after cleaning and lubing, always let the lube set for a few minutes before riding so it doesn't just fling off the first time you get moving, and try to lube right after a ride when the chain's still warm, since the links open up slightly and take the lubricant better. Also worth checking your sprockets at the same time you check tension; a chain that looks fine can still be riding on worn teeth, and that combo wears both parts out faster than either alone. Good habits here really do pay off in the long run. These habits are readily transferable to skid steer pallet forks. Checking them regularily, helps in the long run.

Good reminder on chain care. One thing I'd add is to check the slack at the tightest point of the chain, not just the first spot you test. Rotate the rear wheel a few times and measure again, because chains rarely wear evenly and a tight spot will chew through sprockets fast. It also helps to use a soft brush and a proper chain cleaner rather than a pressure washer, which can force water past the O-rings or X-rings and strip out the factory grease. Wipe off any excess lube afterwards so it doesn't attract grit. I work around heavy equipment day to day, and the same habit of regular checks applies there too, so feel free to have a look at our website if you're interested.
