Recently started hauling feed and feed ingredients. I need recommendations as to best way to cut the dried on rain an the dust that combined makes the magical concrete with only midds and water. Pressure washer and dawn dish soap get rid of some degree. Someone knows the trick, please help.

Let it soak for a couple minutes. Or open your tarp when you're parked on a rainy weekend.

Just gotta let it soak, to soften the dirt, and a power nozzel on your pressure washer can really help as well.

I know right what you mean the only way to do it is to not wash your equipment and to upgrade your equipment every two years that's the easiest way I found. One thing I found out if you get it good and clean keep after it once or twice a week give it a good rinsing with a pressure washer you won't fight it near as hard

Thanks, it is old fashioned helpful and no one made me feel silly ? ;

Water and time got it.. trying to rush process didn't work.

Trading every two years not much of choice, but the idea is appreciated!!

I have not had that problem, but I also sweep the trailer out when empty before I leave the pit every load
