My old tractors never get a wash however the new Kioti will get a wash every couple of months. For me it gives me a chance to go right over it an check it...while its in warranty. I also spray de-greaser on the loader arm joints where the grease builds up etc. afterwards I go through and re-grease and spray WD40 on some of the controls. It was expensive and I plan on keeping it for a very long time so want to look after it.

My tractor is garage kept. The car is outside. After a project it is usually time to grease the loader and hoe, so I will wipe clean all the old grease off the joints.

Power wash the engine and tractor, wax the hood and fenders and grease . The hardest part is cleaning the diesel exhaust off the loader arm.
I wish I could wash mine but it is located where there is no water to wash it with. So it stays dirty and will at least until next summer when the new home should be completed and I will have facilities. The operator's station floor looks pretty much like the tires:
