Black on the cab not painted but all the rest, polish had worn the paint off the top of the bonnet.Bloody lovely! Has it seen a full paint job?

Ever walked on a ploughed field or had drinks and food with you?What do you do in there to need to clean the cab out every day?
I've often wondered what arable farmers do with all that time........now I know
If it’s the spec and hours you want you’re hardly going to walk away because it’s dirty. I looked around Cheffins at the weekend and they were all remarkably clean…Do you use it in the rain? Do you take it into nasty muddy fields? Do you have a life?
On a more serious note, does anyone think they get more trading in a super shiny tractor than one in it's working clothes (well used but not a sh it heap) ?
A tractor like @ColinV6 would deffo stand out in a line of second hand one's. But it's surprising how a really good valet can get a real dirty from new tractor looking good. In fact a good layer of dirt can actually help keep the paint of a poorly looked after tractor looking good underneath. I wouldn't recommend it mind.If it’s the spec and hours you want you’re hardly going to walk away because it’s dirty. I looked around Cheffins at the weekend and they were all remarkably clean…
@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 .

You’ll see a bigger reward when you sell it aswellLive shots. Busy tipping muck on stubble with no hydraulic door so it’s a bags and wellies kind of day. Not a speck of mud or grease on any points of contact though. It’s suprisingly easy to keep this way IF YOU WANT TO.

That’s true but when we kept 2500 fat pigs and 100 sucklers everything was still kept pretty clean and everything was washed weekly.just done more washing in those daysthe difference between arable and livestock shines through here
