I would not use a pressure washer to wash my tractor.

I wash my tractor and vehicle engines with plain water from a normal (43 psi) water jet. If there's much oil, I first squirt on some detergent (Green stuff, Purple stuff, Greased Lightning, Tide, etc.) and let sit. Then hose it off.

Before liquid detergents, I used to wet, sprinkle Tide over the oil/dirt, let sit and hose off.

If it's REALLY bad, I use some kerosene with a stiff brush and then hose off.
