Do you detail your Tractor ?

[davatk]

After doing some mowing today with the new tractor, figured I'd knock the dust off of it, and got kinda carried away. Next thing I know I was in full detail mode. See for yourself.

 

[poldies4]

I did the same thing. Felt kinda silly, but they sure are pretty when they are new. Lots of dust around my place, so I rinse it every so often, even rinse off the engine. I've been wondering if it was just me?

Be careful....... you'll be labeled a 'tractor waxer' and be shunned by the masses. Just ask WaxMan.

Out here a Corvette is useless. But nicely waxed and detailed tractor drives the farm babes wild. Whatever it takes.

Is a wash, wax, and armorall on the wheels what is referred to as "detail" ?
Or am I missing something in the pic?

I thought it was adding paint stripes and such.

I usually clean my equipment up a few times a year, including a wax job and armorall the rubber and mats. Sure attracts the dust, but looks good in the interim.

Oh, I bet she thinks your tractor's sexy.

Using a toothpick to clean up the tire lettering is an indication of irreversible damage.

Wow...yeah...I thought I was going a little overboard blowing it off with the air compressor. For what they cost nowadays, your task is hard to argue. I do have to say that it looks nice.

Do yourself a favor and peel off those tacky lawyer stickers before they get faded around. Most of them pull right off.

I can't find any lawer stickers, just a little leftover gum here and there. I think the Barlow setup guys must've pulled them all. :thumbsup:

Hmm. Sounds like you've been there, beenthere ! :laughing:

Oh, well I'm ok then. I used a Q-tip. :laughing:

Funny how the wife and kid just stand and look at me shaking their heads when I get like this.

And those tractor tires take a lot of armour-all too !!

The warning stickers...one on the rops, the fel, the side of tractor, several on the fenders, mmm. You'll be amazed at how much better it looks once they are off. You really don't need a sticker to tell you not to check blade sharpness with your hand while the mmm is running do you?

 

[timswi]

I wash and wax mine all the time..Hate when it's dirty, which is most of the time!!!

6 years and it still looks like new..When cleaned.

:laughing: The results speak for themselves. I think that a tractor like that would attract more attention from dudez than the ladies.

Are those aftermarket wheels the front ones definately look like "low profile"?

Nope, those are stock R-4 wheels and tires. Not sure why they went low profile with them - but my prior B7800 had the same ones.

Armorall on on mats, better not jump on there with wet shoes.

 

[TripleR]

I let mine sit out in the rain every once in a while.

 

[tulenutn2o]

I only wish I had the time to wax my tractor.

 

[James Loehr]

I clean and wax the BX almost every time after I use it but my poor truck looks like it's been down one to many gravel road.
