Window open or shut

[wanton dwarf]

Try one of these, note the lack of seating.

Modern tractors so keep them shut and clean inside. Pet hate was an old workman here that always opened the back window. I was chuffed to bits when i could retire him .

Not good for Asthma having dust in the cab . All those fine particles you can’t see.
Does you’re combine have no cab on it.

Indeed , but neither is breathing recycled sh!t . aka aircon

There are other buttons available. Not had a problem with a "Modern" vehicle. You just ain't doin' it right.

 

[DrWazzock]

I like to hear the noises especially on the combine and I like to see the ploughing. I have no equipment with aircon anyway.

 

[M-J-G]

Shut, that's why it's there.

Bag of dry ice ?

That’s true. One reason I do less and less tractoring if possible .
to be fair I’d probably open the window when ploughing if soil was damp, but never cultivating, spraying or fertilising . Tell us what happened to make you think about it

Open, so you can hear the note of the machine behind you. You catch a lot of problems by just listening.

If the problem is that serious, you'd hear it even with the window shut.

On a serious note, sense of smell is very important on a combine

Depends on the job I’m doing

Machines talk to you , either listen or don't . the bills are bigger if you don't

Pulled shut but with the latch down so it doesn’t close all the way. The fans can still keep most of the dust out with positive pressure and you can hear the sound of the implement behind without too much noise.

Shut.
No need for it to be open, you'll still be able to hear any unusual noise or feel any unusual vibration in the cab. Actually looking at the machine and the work its doing, instead of checking face ache/TFF while the autosteer does its thing helps too.
Good walk around checks catch problems as well.
Drivers spreading slurry with tankers or umbilical with the back window open are a special kind of thick.
Same for sunroofs, WTF are they all about.

 

[eagleye]

"sunroof" is actually an escape hatch for working on frozen lakes in scandanavia i was told

 

[bobajob]

Shut here.
I bet @ColinV6 has never opened the back window on his tractors!!

 

[Longlowdog]

If there is aircon on refresh with outside air filtered I'd never open the window. Asthma, hay fever and a dislike of working in a greenhouse like a Nigerian in a Spanish polytunnel. My Zetor isn't blessed with air con so it means windows partially open and fan on full and stop working when I'm hot or dehydrated. I've had heatstroke twice when self employed mowing or topping for hours on end for folk so mean they deliberately bought a modern tractor without aircon and I'm never having it again.
Aircon cools in the summer and works as a dehumidifier in the winter keeping windows clear and drying wet clothes quickly.

Old man used to have back window open and air con on....

Yeah my old man the same with his new tractor .. told him to shut the window. Now have a nice cool old man who doesn't cough all the time.

 

[DrWazzock]

Ignore that funny noise at your peril.
The only time I’d keep windows shut is when fert spreading. Amazing how prills can seem to get forward into cab otherwise.
