The other guys are correct -- use a warmer weather reducer to slow the drying time of the paint. This is money well spent if you want a smooth, high quality finish. Spray inside if at all possible. Wet down the floor to keep dust down, and try some test parts to paint to see if the reducer is too slow. Warm weather (80 degrees and up) can be a pain, and the humidity can also cause problems if it drys too slow or too fast, depending on the color. If you have to paint outside, consider rigging up some clear plastic in the form of a temporary spray booth or tent over your tractor. This will limit the amount of airborne crud that can settle on your fresh paint (but don't make it airtight, you have to breathe while painting!).
