I grew up in the Panahandle and I can tell you that you need to be mindful of those underground wasp nest sometimes around mesquite trees. Personal experience with a D-5 open cab and they had my butt moving off the cab and it took a few hours to get the dozer moved with a loader and get the nest covered.
I've not had a lot of problems with wasps, other than paper wasps on trees I was knocking over. I've had more problems with bees than anything. It's kind of creepy watching the swarm and ping the glass on the dozer or tractor cab. I just hope the engine keeps purring and the tracks/wheels keep turning.
