Exactly! Couple quick points:
Don't spray pressurized water into any seals (engine, trans, etc)
Don't spray it into the carb and TRY to avoid wiring (won't hurt it but rust will eventually)
Use a degreaser first (I like Simple Green to each there own)
Don't use the direct stream tip. Use a 15° plus setting, a direct stream will, usually, work away at the paint.
Basically use common sense. It's a tractor, are you afraid of a little rain? I've done it to all mine and they still run and look like they should.
Carry on
