That time again for mine also. First of it's do to be undercoated again which I do myself, wait a week or so then a good wash, then a light buffing with a mild compound (Meguiars) followed by a couple coats of paste wax.

Wow. I don't even treat my car and truck as well as some of you treat your tractors!
The Cabota DOES get a rinse a couple of times a year, usually after mowing season. If it's REALLY filthy, I might get a bucket of hot, soapy water and swab the worst of it off.
I've got one bush-hogging job I've been doing for years. The owner only wants it done once a year, usually in August, after all the wild flowers have gone by. That means dust, seeds, milkweed fluff and dead dry grass everywhere, so it get's blown off good with an air hose after that job. Fire hazard, ya know, plus overheating from a plugged up radiator.
Vacuum out the cab (dirt holds moisture which creates rust, just good maintenance) and wash the windows when they get disgusting enough.
Other than that, it's strictly au naturale with exhaust soot and grease blobs on the loader, and poop on the tires...

Washed and waxed the Tundra yesterday after work, next up is the Exmark for a washing and waxing be the first one of the season.
Katie is still clean but soon to end, got her loaded up for the trip to meet the guys at the deer land at noon to plant the fall food plots.
Noe PhPaul it can be fun to get out there and but a little elbow grease in cleaning the tractor
Opener of dove season today shooting here since early though not for me as the plots are priority for today.
