How often do you give it a bath?

[big bubba]

I was wondering how many of you guys clean your tractor with a water hose. I usually try using compressed air as much as possible so I dont get water in the gage cluster an other unwanted areas. I will use a hose on the tires if they are super muddy, but wanted to see what everyone else thinks? I know my dealer keeps most of his stock outside, uncovered, and some without cabs, so he must not be too concerned about water damage.

I have always been **** with my equipment and vehicles . They are kept inside when not in use , washed and waxed frequently . I enjoy cleaning them , when I have time . Nothing like going out in the garage , cd on , heat on , and no one their to bother you .:cool2: The reward for this has always been , when selling or trading , $$$ .

I've owned mine for about 1 1/2 years. The next time I wash it, I'll let you know.

To be fair, it was used and does have some rust on the floor pan. There's grime all over the rear end and I might pressure wash that this year cuz I think there may be a slow leak at the top of the fuel tank (BX gauge area).

Store it indoors, wipe the grease off. That's it.

Same here... I keep mine in a heated garage. If I'm out doing work and it gets really dirty, I'll bring it home and fire up the power washer. I then pour in some multi purpose detergent. I pop the hood and hit all the little hard to reach areas. I'll rise and towel dry after. When I use the power washer, I'll only use the lightest possible PSI as to not hurt the finish.

After, I usually sit in a chair and have a beer while I stare at my shiny tractor

So it is my assumption that a little low pressure water once or twice a year should'nt hurt anything major then? Thanks for the replies.
