I bet that is so, what with all the GPS, A/C padded seat etc.etc. not much like the model 12 maintainer (with a bench seat), I ran back in the 1950s while I was a college student. I stood up most of the time unless I was gradeing a haul road. I did always have stuff to eat in my lunch pail and a Gott 3 gallon watercan of ice water with a few beers for breaks. I was lucky to have a cab depending which grader was on the job. We had one with a cab and one without, The equipment truck driver , which was also me, drove under a low underpass hauling one of the maintainers on a float trailer and amputated one of the graders' nice cab.
Them was the good old days.....
