Posted at 07:41h, 26 JuneNothing is better than AC and a jug of cold water for keeping cool on a combine. We each carry our own jug and every person on our crew drinks an entire jug of water every day. Thank goodness for AC. I don’t know how the old guys did it. They were tough men for certain.

J. Headrick
Posted at 11:14h, 26 JuneI’m terribly susceptible to heat, so I have to really watch it. We do LOTS of fluids – Gatorade, water and a herbal tea that’s filled with electrolyte balancing ingredients. Also I try to keep the meals light for the crew – loaded with protein, fruits and vegetables.
Then there’s always the cow tank and the shade tree by the pond to fish under. 🙂

Posted at 23:58h, 26 JuneWater, Cool Water & more water. I have ran combines when the AC failed in 100-106 degrees. The wheat must be cut when it’s ready. I would open the door for al little breeze on the upwind side of field.
