Tracking mud into shop....what to do?

[v8only]

After a few hours of tilling my turf tires get packed full of clay, so I do some heavy turns in the grass to get as much off as possible then I head out to the paved road and spin them as clean as possible but I still track a ton of mud down my gravel driveway and into the shop.

been thinking of switching to a self cleaning tire that I can still mow with? Maybe not a full out ag tire but some thing in between...

thoughts?

Power washer?

One million dollars to you sir if you figure it out!! I have a 65 horse tractor, skid steer, mini x, and a bunch of quads. I let the mud dry till it is easy to sweep, then pile it under the leaky skid until I have a bucket full, shovel it in and dump it. Funny you mention it, but, I hate getting it in the gravel more than the shop.

If I ever win the lottery, I will bury all the clay 3 feet deep and never speak of it again.

When I complain about it, my more laid back friends tell me to wait till it is dry to fart around outside.............

Best,

clay where I am is like gum sticking to the lugs - yea a pressure washer works but still needs some help with a scraper and a screw driver to clean the lugs out.

Look into R4 tires.

Git nekid before you go into the shop......oh wait.... you meant mud on the tractor not your equipment.....sorry, disregard.

I get mud stuck in my R4's too. Once it drys it leaves a trail on the floors when I drive out. Then I sweep it up. For me it's seasonal. My floors are smooth and easy to clean so less of an issue.

I am glad you're not cleaning your tires on roads I drive. Then I would have dirty truck to wash.

We are in a heavy snow zone and the plow contractor sands frequently.
Problem is that the sand he uses has a fair clay content.
Come spring all our vehicles are clay tinted and on a dry dry day you can see the dust cloud as a vehicle approaches.
During spring thaw the roads are so greasy from clay you'd believe you were driving on ice.

Best way I found is when your tires are packed full is to park your tractor outside of your shop in the grassy area where you won’t mind the dirt coming off. Wait till the next day or two when the mud is all dry and when you drive it will mostly all fall out. Works great.
