    Is there room for an ice box in the tractor? Plenty of chilled water is the only job.

    It’s 24*C at the moment.
    Weedkiller won’t work due to the heat, so for the last three days I’ve been weeding swedes. I’ve one bed left.
    The heat is taking it’s toll.

    All tractors should have sunroof and side windows. The air con won't be working in any tractor come 30 years time and it will be too dear to fix.

    Had to get out of the tractor. ISIS would tell ya all there secrets with less torture. Can ya retro fit air conditioning in an old tractor. Like driving around in a glass house with hair dryers blowing at ya. Sunroof welded shut from previous owner. I can mow an other day.

    Was thinking of doing a bit of licking tomorrow instead. Its not bad being on the quad. Would it be to hot for licking?

    Too hot for licking, rush won't absorb the stuff fast enough, it'll just dry on the stem. Unless you can lick at 10pm or 5am or that.

    Even with air con it still is way to hot. Pain in the hole raking as your just a ball of dust going around the field and you know at some stage a door has to be opened. Has to clean out the radiator guard 3 times yesterday with the dust

    I guess I'll just have to sit in the shade so! I was built for comfort not for heat. :) What would temps have to go down to before you'd chance licking?

    Wouldn't know a temp but when you're comfortable standing in the field yourself and know you won't get sunburn. So 15/16/17?! :pac:
    More to do with letting the liquid be absorbed and not dried onto the stems so wind etc would change the temp.
