As others have mentioned the overflow tank was an option, But when using the governor to run implements it was recommended.
Living in Texas I have had my truck setting still idling in 98 degree days for an hour+ without any overheating occurring.
The truck was designed with a sufficient size radiator, as long as the radiator shroud is in place.
I would be more concerned that you had the fan shroud to force all air the fan can move through the front of the radiator opening, and not drawing air from the sides behind the radiator.
