Rivers, MB		I wouldn't let a machine off our yard if it looked like that. We washed a combine that we used for 1 day (as a replacement for a combine that was down) because it got muddy roading it from the dealer out to the field.

We traded one of our combines this fall with the agreement that we got to finish our sunflowers with the old one. It got washed, blown out, vacuumed out as if it was going into our shed for winter.

I think it reflects back onto the farmer trading in the equipment. Someone goes to look at it at the dealer and sees it filthy. Thinks, "those guys don't take care of their stuff". Tells the salesman he's not interested in it because it looks rough. Now the next time the farmer goes to trade something in, the salesman remembers, "the last time I tried to sell one of their trades, it took a while because it looked rough".

Rightly or wrongly, it will reflect back on you.
