All I did was run a Kubota all day long, brush hog, fell 2 pines with a chainsaw, and I am nuked. And I'm in good shape.
Going to be worth having a few private outdoor ranges though.

I used to do farm work in the summers when I was a kid and in college. There are two kinds of "in shape" There is "in shape" and there is "farm shape". A "farm shape" person is "in shape" but an "in shape" person may not be in farm shape.
The toughest farm jobs are the "taming the land" variety:
Laying drainage tile, "picking rock" (picking rock is the most horrible of them all), stump removal, getting rid of an invasive species.
Bailing hay and straw are tough but eventually you get used to it.
You did it with a Kubota and are knackered. I did it with a Farmall and was fucked. My grandfather did it with horses. My great, great, great grandfathers did it was an ax and a work crew made up of relatives. Anything beyond a 1948 Farmall would leave me as a whimpering, quivering ball of pain.

AC?
If I were not sitting in a comfy office chair with the AC set to 60 but the temp at a comfy 74 I would be tempted to do one of those "back in my day" speeches about my farm work life in the 1980s about almost being run over by a Farmall when I did not retard it properly while using a hand crank to start it.
Consarn it!
