Mowing Clearing the radiator of debris

[Poopdeck Pappy]

I recently purchased this from Amazon. It makes my other air guns look weak. I thought my radiator was pretty clean until I took this to it. Had to use a leaf blower to clean out the mess I made in my shop. I very seldom recommend items to purchase but this one is an exception. What I like best is it fits easily between the radiator, condenser, and oil cooler

Thanks for the tip. I might pick one of those up. I'm thinking the 36" version might be better for my tractor. With the loader on, it's hard to get in there very close.

Since I started this discussion I wanted to give an update.

I did take the leaf blower to the property and used it on the the tractor. I did get quite a bit of debris cleared but it was still significantly clogged with dust. We hauled the tractor home since I needed to help mow my brother's property. Here we have a decent air compressor so started blowing it out with that and loosened the fan shroud to get better access to the back of the radiator. We got a ton of dust out it seemed to the point of wanting a a mask on. But on close inspection a lot of the vanes were still clogged with what looked like compacted dust. At this stage I decided to try the water hose with a sharp stream while cognizant of the warnings provided here about using water. This did work well, for a while it looked like mud was being flushed from the radiator vanes. I continued that until the water was clear then blew it out again with air. Now I can see light through the vanes

Hopefully now that the worst of the clogging debris has been cleaned out the leaf blower will work better keeping it cleaned.

Again I want to thank everyone for their input and suggestions, it was of great help.
