Looks more like a classy hoe to me. LOL
In the immortal words of Ron Burgundy, "keep it classy out there".
I use a leaf blower to clean my cabs out. Works great - but not on mud, of course.

Nothing worse then a nasty hoe, never know what critters or disease might be running around in that mess :D :D

Along the same lines, went to pull the battery out of my bike the other day for winter storage, and I'll be danged if the shock{main rear end support) bolt only had about 3 to 4 turns left before it popped out. Could have been an interesting ride. I like to keep the machines clean for piece of mind and if something is broke, lose, missing hopefully I'll notice.

I just wish I could convince guys at work to close the rear window on the 710D Hoe when parking it overnight! Not to mention the guys who like to run around with side windows open in the mud!:Banghead

I am amazed and constantly wonder how so much crap gets under the floor mats. I wish all owners and operators kept their equipment as clean as you do. would make my job much easier.

I resorted to keeping a small whiskbroom in each cab makes it real easy to sweep out any nasty at the end of the day.

I also try to keep whisk brooms in most equipment, however had not been able find a good operating manual on them so they are seldom used properly.:Banghead

xvator, i was talking more about the stuff that gets under the mats, I pull floor mats all the time to find a good half inch of dirt under there. I guess it's just a little bit around the edges gets in there and gets pushed to the middle by more dirt little by little.
