I'm sure I don't remember how noisy they were because as a kid, it didn't bother me.... I just enjoyed being in the field on a tractor. Only pull type I ever used was a Woods Bros. single row behind a Super C the first couple of years after Dad downsized and before he bought his second mounted set-up.
Being in NE Iowa, we picked a lot when it was frozen and I remember the heat funneled back between the husking beds sure was welcome. The platform would be fairly warm from the transmission so your feet did not get cold. Worst thing was greasing it in the morning when it was really cold, but that would be the same with any of them, pull or mounted.
Seems strange now that my wifes cousin here in Kansas uses a 16 row JD combine and hauls everything in semis.... man, how it's changed.
