I work in a factory that builds SUV frames for a Big-3 automotive manufacturer; the frames are mig welded, mostly by robotic welders. This leaves a lot of weld slag buildup in the fixtures, which interferes with clamp arms, proximity sensor cables, and the like. The company has found that it's considerably less labor-intensive to clean the fixtures periodically (as in monthly, rather than semi-annually) by dry-ice blasting the weld slag loose,...and then just sweeping it up off the floor. But the equipment is highly specialized, and appears to be quite expensive...I don't think it'd be cost effective to blast just one (or two...or ten, even) tractor(s).
