Strange you should refer to Texas in the summer - Beeenvenue. I think it was 1972. Lived in Anchorage. Flew to a week long meeting around mid-July in Houston. Summer temps in Anchorage might, on rare occasions, reach a high of 76 with about 25% humidity.

HOLY CARP. It was upper 90's and around 100% humidity that entire week. I thought, for sure, I was gonna die dude, die. Honest to God - I DO NOT see how folks can tolerate that type of weather.

My friend and I said - to HELL with this meeting in Houston. Drove to Galveston - stayed with friends. At least there, they will have a breeze coming off the gulf. Mighty fine sea food also.

Grew up in port Arthur. Listed as the most humid place in the US so I know what you mean. And we didnt have AC until I was 12…. 90 year old grandmother lived across town without AC her whole life.

You do get used to it

I wonder - with those elevated temps and uber high humidity - what is it like in an air conditioned cab. Does the air conditioning suck the moisture out of the air in the cab? My tractor is open station. When it gets hot here - our humidity almost hits zero. Earlier today here - 82F and 9% humidity. Right now - 77F and 11% humidity.

It looks like he also has sirens

A/C units remove moisture. You will notice that
a car or truck with a/c will have water running out
from under the vehicle that's the a/c removing the
moisture.

a radiator fan is cheaper than a cab, may allow daytime mowing

My 2021 mahindra 1626 was delivered last Friday, I love it! Have used the loader a few times so far, but it's to wet to do any dirt work. So far I've installed a steering wheel spinner knob, and a 126 watt light bar to use for night mowing in our hot Texas summer heat. What other basic upgrades would y'all recommend for comfort use?

If it don't have one gonna need a tool box and a fishing pole rack in case you want to do some fishing down by the creek, h&h spinner baits always done me good.

I made incremental changes to my NH Boomer and ended up with 78-LED light bars, one in the front and one in the rear. The video does not pick up the light beam as well as the eye and I found this combo lets me do just about anything I need to safely at night.
