I use a spray on protective coating called Fluid Film. Spray and wipe off excess. Don"t think hay will stick to it, not sure about the schaft.

Krown makes a great protective coating also. Its sold in Canada and is used on farm equipment and vehicle undercarriages. I also used it to soften the rattle can undercoat on a '70 Trans am, it worked great.

My limited experience with Boeshield; it remains slightly tacky. Might attract/hold the chaff.

Not complaining, mind you. I love the stuff, but it might not be the answer for this application.

Best way to spray Boeshield is to spray it on and let the solvents evaporate (1/2 to 1 hour depending on temperature and humidity) and then take a clean cloth and gently wipe the excess wax off. I have done this for years and it does not leave a film this way and wont attract dirt/dust.
