My area used mostly the big standard / wheatland tractors. Those big clamshell fenders were a lot better for keeping dirt off the driver than the little shorty row crop fenders.
The worst was doing tillage like summer fallow, where the soil was loose and dry. The tractors and implements designed before hydraulic lift was common, by necessity placed the tractor driver behind and low down on the rear wheels / fenders. This was necessary so the driver could operate the mechanical lift levers on the impliment. Low down and behind the rear wheels put the poor driver in a cloud of dust all day. (Been there, done that) Once we got into the mid 50's and hydraulic lift was the norm, the operators platform got moved to high up and between the rear wheels / fenders. Then the operator had a much better day. better ride less dirt better visibility.
Now I get annoyed if I get a gap in the GPS satellites and the GPS auto steer kicks out ;-)
