Do any of you "mobile" sawyers have an established "high" temperature that you will shut down the mill when reached?
I'm thinking that from a safety stand-point, I'll establish one between 80° and 85°.
I was thinking about putting a "sun" umbrella over the operators position, but that doesn't help the tailer/off-bearer!
I don't have a set temperature, but I do not saw much in July and August when the temps are hitting the mid to high 90's. Big shade trees will extend the sawing time. I wear shorts and a "pith" type helmet in the Summer.

Here's today.
I have an "operators" umbrella attached to my mill.
