I took the kubota out in the rain today which I never do.
Maybe 15-20 minutes later I looked at the hood and it was dry as a bone compared to te rest of the tractor which is still dripping wet, and the hood of my tractor doesn't get hot at all. Maybe 100 degrees right now and it's 70 outside, so it clearly doesn't take much heat to evaporate any water underneath the hood and vehicle engine compartments get awfully toasty, so inepuldnt be surprised if it evaporates by the time you get pulled into a gas station. I just didn't realize how it really doesn't take much heat at all to make water evaporate.
