Our old NH, 12000 hours

Looks great that for the hours on it

I do appreciate a clean tractor, it doesn’t take much time to keep on top of it. This is our oldest that is just being traded in, doesn’t look bad for nearly 18 years old.

Nice to see dynashift model there

Joking aside; I’m quite impressed that you’ve got a NH with that many hours on; has it been an expensive journey? How long have you had it?

It’s 2009, got it in 2014 with 4000 hours.
I’ve had a damper plate in it, a fresh engine oil pump, set of back tyres, some electric problems for work lights so we swapped them for LED.
New bushes in track rod ends and fresh seals
Still on original brakes
It was the main tractor but it retired 2 years ago

@ACEngineering you say you don’t need to brush . That Chem must be very alkaline? Does it not affect your paint long term? I’m guessing it’s a white van? I hate brushing of sponging as it will ever so slightly scratch. My car is ceramic coated and the sort of TFT you describe would blast it off leaving it unprotected .

Was getting dark but took pics anyway.

No brush or sponge used, just pressure washer and snow foam then sapphire spray on wash off wax stuff.

Bare Minimum effort required. It's not perfect but its plenty more than good enough.

Look closely in last pic you can see me with phone taking pic, can also see the barn behind me and them real expensive white bags too

Crikey. Am I the only farmer so good grass grows on my tractor?

Very good result! Did you do the roof!

Excellent . I use all this stuff. Ps this is only about a third of what I have. I keep away from high alkaline tfr but perhaps I should look into it

We’re finding our Fastrac quite hard to keep clean for long and awkward to wash . I think the extra speed causes a lot of spray on a wet road that covers the back end . Also the rear window wiper is hopeless.

Some of you really need to think about what is so badly missing in your lives that you need to replace with OCD tractor cleaning.

Knowing everything on a Forum maybe? Life's a bitch

Just an opinion same as yours but maybe you have something missing from your life called "Pride"

That's impressive selection but looks like alot of hard work to me

I dont know what's in the snowfoam/TFR but it works and seems fine on paint and non of them nasty white Mark's after. It does say safe for all paints on there website and they do another version of it too that is PH neutral not tied that one yet.

I blitz my stuff every few months... Full on Auto Glym Polar treatment.

The cars ..Winter I don't bother. But it has a damn good aquawaxing beforehand.

It's currently filthy

I do too many miles to be cleaning it. The Front windows are Autoglym polished weekly in and out and it gets a vaccing weekly.... quick spray of Autofresh and Quick wipe with AG interior shampoo.

Same as when I was driving wagons... Immaculate inside rotten outside in the winter.

What’s wrong with wanting to look after something you have worked really hard to buy .

Your not alone, I should have a good crop this summer with the amount of shite on the floor. Might have to shovel out before then if It gets to hard to get the clutch pedal down

It takes no time at all to keep it clean when it’s clean

And what is missing?

 

[ColinV6]

Some of you really need to think about what is so badly missing in your lives that you need to replace with OCD tractor cleaning.

So because your life is missing nothing you never clean your machinery, your car, your hoise and garden, with that attitude can you even “spare time” for a bath?

Careful where you do so, NVZs, watercourses etc
