tractor cleaning

I would be very cautious about using any chemicals to clean tractors machinery or any vehicles as they invariably discolour the paintwork. Remember seeing a fleet of mainly white trucks that had a yellow tinge due to the effects of regular chemical cleaning over about a year. A bit of heat or pressure is far better long term.

The important bit with any cleaning product applied to a vehicle is to rinse every bit of it off at the final stage

Not my tractor. The guy that helps us likes a tidy cab.

I generally open the door and back window when blowing out the gutters.

Better than a brush.
I tend to use me road compressor blow all backend off radiator out then cab that in the summer this time of year it’s a state but that’s the joys of slurry tanking and pumping

Do you run that through a pressure washer
You really need a foaming bottle attachment that replaces the Lance but you keep the trigger and just fit via a quick release so bottle or Lance end are interchangeable in seconds. Works really well here and will foam tfr or dairy foamer .

Look on amazon for a foaming applicator.i paid £90 for first one from wellknown pressure washer dealer in Norfolk.far too dear but looked on amazon for next one and just swap the connectors over.im wanting another now as chemical has eaten the brass internals.will still apply but not foam.

If you want the cheaper route a garden sprayer 5l with bilt hamber auto foam can do a job,rinse off with the pressure washer , quick wash with onr with a bucket and sponge and finish off with some turtle wax wash and shine or guyeon wet coat
