Same here Cecil. Any serious field work I do is in a cab. I put in years 
on an open tractor, long dusty days in the field. Sometimes burning up 
from the sun, wind burned face, sometimes frozen by the cold wind so I 
could hardly move at quitting time.
For a few chores and short jobs I can sit out on an open  tractor now 
but thats about all. Open combines were just about the worst. All the 
wild temperature variations plus smothered in itchy dust. After all that 
you can really appreciate the benefits of a comfortable cab.
