Farm Tractor Cleaning Guide

Farming is dirty work, and keeping a farm tractor clean can be a real chore. However, built-up dirt and grime can lead to corrosion, potentially even forcing you to spend more on maintenance. That’s why the experts at Uvalco Powersports & Equipment have created this farm tractor cleaning guide. 

Develop a Cleaning Routine

One way to make keeping your farm tractor clean easier is by working it into your routine. Our recommendation is to clean your tractor at least once a week, more if you’re using it heavily. You can use these cleanings as a chance to keep tabs on your farm tractor’s overall condition. 

Use Appropriate Cleaning Solutions & Tools

Cleaning products that are too harsh can actually harm your farm tractor. Of course, these products also serve an important function when it comes to removing contaminants, so you don’t want to forgo them entirely. Luckily, your owner’s manual should be able to tell you which products are safe and which aren’t. Abrasive cleaning tools can also cause harm, so stick to using soft brushes and sponges while cleaning your farm tractor. 

Clean Attachments Separately

It’s important to remove attachments or implements from your farm tractor before you start the cleaning process. Attempting to wash these implements while still attached can result in damage or cross-contamination. 

Clean Internal Components

The inside of your farm tractor needs to be cleaned too! Take care while cleaning your tractor’s internal components. Otherwise, you might accidentally damage something important like the hydraulics systems or electrical system. Pay close attention to the vents and swap out the filters as needed.
