Smart job!!

What did you clean it with inside?

Just some General purpose detergent soap...for the door, and lower surfaces. I used Autofinesse interior shampoo and a micro fibre for the dash and electrical bits.

Gave the manitou a 3 hour wash, outside and inside! It was badly needed after being on mucky jobs the last 6 weeks or so.

We had a 2450 from new with quicke loader and MC1 cab. Used to find the thing totally gutless in comparison to to the 2650 also on farm. Extremely nimble tractor around the yard though. Lost count of the amount of doors the then staff got through on it.

Aye the doors are a issue now and again, years ago my dad did two in one day lol

Thanks! Much appreciated. I take a lot of pride in making things right, clean and neat!
Unfortunately the beauty of a Fendt and drill are not mine, but a contractors.

Looks like theyve had a peel test for bruising

Imports are all checked for ring rot and brown rot.
Seed is lab tested core samples, ware are a visual check by slicing.

It's not coming down to a seedbed. I tried just hitting the top but that was no good so I had to drop it in.

I wish i had the time (or the inclination) to spend hours washing kit and cleaning cabs. Some of you guy keep things spotless ?

I try to look after things but there is always another job to do. Tractor gets a quick wash every now and then and cab gets swept out every other day... but its here to work not be a shiny ornament.
