The machinery washing thread (for Sid !)

[Clive]

I thought we should have a thread all about washing machinery just for Sid

first up proof today today it doesn’t always cost labour to clean your tractor - @Chris F offering a hand

Washing the Fendt

lets see your washing pics and videos ?

 

[Exfarmer]

that is grossly irresponsible, all those washings going down the drain, should be ashamed of yourself

 

[Two Tone]

That is obviously the best way to do it.
My sprayer is a Landquip demount on a Fastrac and apart from the Winter, this combination tends to live outside.

Having finished drilling and used Crystal as a pre-em, there is usually a slight yellow/green tinge to the booms and silver tractor wheel Centres.

Or there was..... until the deluge we had over the weekend!

Looks brand new again now (even though the sprayer was made in 1996!).
Just right for putting away for the Winter.

.......Shame my neighbour hasn’t drilled anything and he will need it if/when he gets his backside into gear!

 

[Clive]

will leave the doors open tonight, point it west and hope for a full interior valet by morning !

Who has time to mess about cleaning tractors?
Pfft, arable farmers. Don’t know they’re born ...

I blast the muck off until spring the tractor gets filthy feeding out all winter but as soon as the loaders off and spring starts it’s sparkling as 12+hour days in a dirty tractor is horrible

So you wash you tractors every week and then leave them outside all year round to get battered by the elements?
Definitely makes them worth more than everyone elses kit!

A lot more than the first tractor dad bought 51 years ago. It's only worth 10 times what my dad paid for it and he never washed it every week. Imagine what it would have been worth if he had.....millions!
Do you think that fendt will be worth 10 times what you paid for it in 50 years?

we don’t leave them long outside very often, usual sit in insulated sheds ? It had just been returned to the yard as rain stopped work

it will be mint and perfectly (dealer) serviced when we sell it 7 years from now yet in the case of that particular tractor

A tip I got told from the Keenan engineer....don't go hard on the weigh bars with the power washer as if water gets in it doesnt come out....useful tip I thought.
