A well driller in a nearby town told me that the windmill is the most abused device on he farm. I believe it is true. People just don't like climbing & removing cover, and pouring in the oil.
I have a new design which still requires climbing, to connect/disconnect a quick disconnect---a one handed operation.
With this design the head cover is modified with a short piece of 3/8 copper tube inserted with a seal to prevent water intrusion with a easy to mate connector. After connection simply pump oil into head from ground via a plastic tube & climb up to disconnect when done. Elimination of cover removal & carrying oil up is a big improvement.
Working on design for oiling from ground.
