Has anyone figured out an easy way to clean a compact cab? The cab is small and has only one way in and out, so how do you clean it? Every time I climb in I pull in another load of crud. I tried blowing it out but there is no good angle to push the stuff up and out. Water won't work as the cab is tight. I wish there was something easier than a shop vac.

Have you purchased an accessory hose extension for your shop vacuum? This way the vacuum sits on the ground and you only deal with the hose inside the cab. Years ago, I bought my Dad a big Craftmans wet/dry vac to clean the tractors and combine cabs (verses using compressed air). I did drive back to Sears and buy the extension hose kit the next day and it is much easier to use. His JD 4440 only has one entry door, so I know what you mean about just blowing stuff around inside the cab. We also use one of the two foot "solid" extensions on the end of the vacuum hose to reach those tight spots.
