The OH has a karcher K4, 5 maybe. looks very similar to that nilfisk anyhow. I'm not sure I'd want to be cleaning tractors with it but it will do the job if you have patience without a doubt. The pipe reel on the top is an ar5e and the pipe always coils back up when you pull it out, the washer tends to fall over easily as the pipe outlet is near the top. Aside from that it's ok, lives in an unheated shed and hasn't frosted.

One of my winter projects is to mount a pto pressure washer in a frame with an IBC container on top - or hydraulic motor and use a with merlo as well.

I’ve just brought a Nixon Sitemaster 10hp . Not cheap but seems very good so far .

We bought a petrol one from Lidl a few years ago. Use it for washing sheds and machinery. Was 250€. I've seen others that look the same for agood bit more. For that kind of money you can't go wrong

We got an electric kranzle after 2 crappy nilfisks that were both returned faulty.
So far so good, build quality is excellent.

Phillips Pressure Washers at Horncastle. Proper industrial kit. Not a disposable toy. They service them as well, or did last time I heard.

Hold it a bit further away. Yes I’ve made a hole in a tractor rad hose with mine. Lesson learned.

We have one of them. But the ibc full up above makes it very top heavy, so we converted it , so it sits just behind the washer pump on a couple of beams . Now it can be sat off wherever we like, and used without attaching to the tractor.

I have a 1ph Nixon hot washer as a static machine and one of these as a mobile one.
Very pleased with both.

Cleaning tractors would be an industrial application so you should be looking away from domestic or home and garden machines and looking at industrial products

I have a Karcher K4 with a foam gun on the end. Using either foam or TFR in the gun. Whilst it cleans, it doesn't get everything off. Its suitable for my car and little Grey Fergie, but not much else.
If you are looking at doing a tractor, or other farm machinery, I would personally look at getting a hot water pressure washer rather than just a normal one. However, that might mean adding a '0' to your proposed budget!

I gave up with Kranzle after they both lasted about 18months.
Replacement Ehrle was much better.
Now gone for a Cleanwell steam cleaner. Ehrle demoted to pig unit.

Anyone got a MAC revolution hot washer? Seems a nice little washer for not crazy money.
I have a pto washer. Brilliant for washing real dirty stuff In the field to save tidying up after but takes a while to set up unless you have a spare tractor to have it on all the time. I fancy a hot washer ready to go In the yard to keep windows and things clean.

I bought a Landy PTO drain jetter (which comes with a pressure washer lance too) and have found I have used it far more as a pressure washer than jetting drains. Really really pleased with it, it was a great buy.
