Will I'm still hooked to the boat but I didn't get to go fishing today,I got caught this morning before I could leave.A farmer came by the house as I walking out to the boat to go fishing,had everything ready.He's almost done in the fields and wanted to start cleaning up some of the eqt.,he had 3 18 wheelers,tractor and two grain buggys ready if I wanted to wash them now.Heck yel,I'd rather do them now enstead of freezen weather.

This tractor is a new type here,not many around like it,Its called a Fendt.We have mostly John Deere and IH case around here, I will show some of the bigger eqt. and combines I wash.

Hi Bigboy,

Here is a picture of some fertilizer spreading equipment that we cleaned last month at a expo for this type of equipment. It was held at our local airport. Folks interested in purchasing this type of equipment can get behind the wheel and give it a test ride!

There was about 100 different vendors at the show. We cleaned about 100 pieces for several different companys including John Deere. The equipment in the picture is of Agco/AgChem spreaders.

Yel man,I don't like those type spreader/sprayers when they been running in the muddy feilds and it has dried on them(gumbo).Have you washed any of the 4 wheeldrive spreader/sprayers,not crazy about those either,ha.
I wash alot of mud in the fall and winter months b/c of the rice that is grown around here,its our main crop.If we have a wet fall before they get their crops out,its muddy muddy.Takes twice or 3 times as long to blow the mud off when it does to wash it.I have size 4 to 15 degree o-tips to cut or knock the mud off if every bad.I play with the turbo and x-jet just to say I use them but they have their place here.

I think its great Dave to share pictures of some of the things we wash,It gives me a better ideal as to your washing,which I think is great.Could like to see some more of the coal eqt.,we have trucks like that here put its limestone they are digging out.If the coal dust is like the limestone dust it can be a bugger to get off at times.
I'll be washing a airspreader with two hoppers before long and I'm not crazy about washing it either,you'll see why,ha.

I wash several of this type track tractors,plus a few Cats.This farmer has 6 of these rigs and 4 combines,plus others.I wash for him in the fall and summer,he's a clean nut type farmer,which I like.

Wrong forum huh.
This D/wide had hardwater stains up to the top of the windows.The owner had moved from the city and didn't know well water would do this to his house and not only that he said you should see what it did to the bath and Kiten,lol.
I had went there to wash two tract-tractors and two grain carts,he lived across the road from the farmer I was washing for.He wanted to know how much would I charge him to wash his house and he knew I wouldn't get all the hardwater stain off b/c he done tried several things,hehe.I said Boy I don't know I don't get into washing houses,how much he said,,,,man its not that I cann't clean it but this gravel road and the feilds inbehind ya have dust up in the drain holes and it may take longer then I say I want.I told him I get paid by the hour and it could cost 85 to boy I don't know.He said if it doesn't cost much over 200 do what you can do and don't worry about the stain I'm going deer hunting,,OK I said..the rest of the story is in next post.

The farmer drives up and tells me his waterline(softwater) is broke over at the shop where the eqt. was setting and I would have to go about 10 miles to get refilled,,,,#%#%.Hmmmmm man I don't want to drive to get water after I get started why cann't I hook up to this guys well and run my hoes over to your shop and the other guy said you turn stuff yeller looking with my water your not going to wash my house with it are you,,,,sure when it goes though my rig it isn't hardwater know more(I had my fingers crossed behind my back).I went and looked at his well to see how fast or how may gpm it was pumping,,I could have P'd faster than dat,,I knew it was going to be a long day having to wait for it to catch up.I used 250 gal. of the 550 I had on the rig on the house.I didn't want to be there alday so I 2 stepped the house which took care of the hardwater stain real fast like.I ran a watering hose 600ft to the farm eqt. and turned the well water on knowing I was fixen to run out of water when I got started on the eqt. b/c the mud on them is the type that sticks like glue,it takes alot of water to just loosen it up.I stood there for awhile watching dat slow #%# well pump water in my tank and it was slow slow,hmmmm where my wrench,I went back to the well and I know how to turn them up so I done so,he'll be proud of me b/c now he's pumping about 6 gpm.What I thought was going to be a long day it turned out to be a pretty nice day.
 
this is the only farmer I wash for that has a wash pad,wish all had one but most of the time I'm wad'ing around in mud.

haha,yel,he's one of them but he's more into cleanest then most.After I wash them they go into eqt. barns to stay for the winter,come out ready to go in the spring as clean as they went in.I wash for him all year long,he doesn't like even putting his eqt. in the feilds when they are just a little muddy.He's the type that may wash his or have his truck washed 7 days aweek if dusty.He told me last night he had 2 more farmers that wanted me to start washing their eqt.,,,,,,I told him I liked my salesman keep out the good work haha.
