They were TOUGH, that's how they did it. I see the same trend nowdays in construction equipment where every operator feels they have to have a climate controlled cab. From what I understand the whole idea behind it is to keep the operator as comfortable as possible so he won't complain and will do more work. That's a noble idea but along with, and often times instead of, the extra work that is supposed to be getting done I see more time being spent on the cell phone and/or texting, less awareness of the operation of the machine (ie can't hear the "squeaks and groans" indicating a problem, etc) and just a general sense of entitlement or whatever you want to call it, that they don't want to get out of the cab and actually WORK when needed.
Those of us that work on the machines are out there in the heat with no A/C even available, breathing in the dust being kicked up by several machines, handling tools that are so hot they burn you and crawling around on a machine that is just as hot. Not to mention standing on our head, up in a hole, and up to our armpits in grease, oil, and crud....and we do it all in an attempt to repair a machine for an operator that is spoiled and thinks he's the one that has had it hard just because he has no A/C for one day. Ultimately the machines' owners are paying for spoiling then in the upkeep on machines that have more systems to screw up and are more complex and expensive to repair than the older ones. But that's just my .02

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
