Mike,

I would drop back on the water consumption and start drinking more Gatorade. When I was baling 1,500 ac. of alfalfa by myself I couldn’t keep the AC going in the cab because of all the dust and chaff plugging the fins. Even with both doors and the windshield propped open it would still get over 95* any day with the sun out. I couldn’t carry enough water in the cab to keep me hydrated enough to ward off leg cramps. I started carrying two of the large (1.75L) bottles and drinking them and only kept 1 gallon of water in the cab. Stopped the cramps and my stomach wasn’t feeling like a balloon.

Best of luck! Stay safe and thanks for taking us along!
