As a retired Fire Investigator in North Dakota, I've had my share of experiences with the JD 9600 series combine fires. If you know your combines as well as you seem to, it doesn't have to lead to catastrophic endings. You took action and emptied the hopper, moved off the field, parked next to a water source and explored the inside for hot spots. You discovered the bearing failure that gave you the first audible clue of something was wrong and took action. And you saved the dog! Farming with machines require use of all ones senses, eyes, nose and ears. Back to work in about an hour! Alert Farmers are the best! Good Luck in the future and continue to be the best.
And he had a backup combine to boot. Awesome.
Thank you Mark
Amen
hero 🫵😂
9600 are kinda bad up by the engine but if cleaned them it seem to not bother. Just got to now them as you own them
Combine is on fire, but he kept his composure and took the time to save the save the beans, the head, the dog, the electronics, and most important the camera angles!!
Hey when the insurance doesn't want to pay out the camera never lies and courts like cameras
And i would also dump my beans, just because they would burn really well. And if you have the time then save what you can save.
Major props to you for remaining calm, and having a procedure in mind to follow, to deal with that emergency.
This is the first video of yours I've watched, and I am now a new subscriber!
Good luck, and safe farming to you.
imagine being smart enough to troubleshoot a combine, but too dumb to understand that the fascism is bad for your country
In case of combine fire - Step 1: save the dog. Good to see a man who has his priorities straight.
It sucks you had this happen to you but I’m kinda glad it was you because it was a) extremely informative and b) you you handled that extremely well. Very fast and calm, properly executed and well thought out. Hopefully it’s a quick and easy fix and there’s no major damage. Overall very impressed and it’s just another reason why I like watching your videos.
Thanks! Stay calm think clearly
I grew up on a farm in Oregon, and we had two field firers (wheat) that were the result of combines catching fire. Some of our crops were on fields that were on hillsides (foot of the mountains) and we had two combines that had leveling systems made for hillsides. One was an older international 503 hillside with automatic self adjusting, and one was a IH 453 with self leveling (sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't...it had a level bubble that you manually set as you drove). The 503 caught fire (bearing on the shaker) the drive belt melted causing the dust to ignite. The 503 didn't have a cab, only a large tarp so it was easy to smell the smoke. Part of our safety equipment was a back pack water system that you could pump up and spray water through the nozzle. This put out the fire!
The next fire was on level ground and involved our TR75 New Holland. It was late in the day and I was going to open this quarter section cutting the short end. This field was entered off an alfalfa field thank God! I made a cut next to a fence and turned around started back. My brother brought a grain truck and was waiting in the alfalfa field. When I was about two hundred yards from the gate, he started running towards me with a claw hammer!! He jumped up the ladder and opened the cab door and said the combine was on fire! He said that I was dripping burning material that was falling onto the wheat stubble! I immediately drove the TR75 through the gate into the alfalfa. My brother was following the small burning spots and used the claw hammer to dig up and put the fires out. I shut off the TR75 grabbed the backpack sprayer and followed my brother! Thank God there was no wind and the stubble was fairly thin on the edge. We got those out and headed for the TR75. A bearing went out on the fan and the belt melted and dripped on a rubber dust flap that was supposed keep dust from collecting. That's what dripped burning rubber on the wheat ( thank goodness we got the side of TR75 put out!) The biggest problem was the fire went up the side headed for the fuel tank. There wasn't much open flame, but the dust burned like a cigarette and was burning behind the cab and near the fuel tank lines which were plastic. My brother had the back pack so I took the seat out and took a bunch of plates and saw the burning and we could put out the fire!!
Another fire was from a grain truck that had accumulated wheat on the muffler and exhaust pipe and this started a wheat fire that was really bad. We always had a tractor hooked up to a heavy disc by our fields, and that is what put the fire out. We lost only about 30 acres, and saved the rest!
This the longest comment that I have ever done (LOL) I think I need a nap!
Lyndon
Doesn't matter whether you own the farm or are just a worker because it's a massive advantage being able to recognize problems before they become disasters.
That's what I took from this video besides your level headed approach in covering all your bases in your action plan.
Bandit thanks you too.
Props for keeping a cool head, and not freezing up. 3-4 years ago we had a similar fire issue where we almost thought we were gonna lose one of our combines. We have an R72 Gleaner that had a bearing go out on the rattle chains behind the feederhouse going up to the rotor, started everything on fire from the feeder house to the rotor and was spitting it out the spreader in the back, even worse is dad was almost full, he slammed it in 3rd gear, was barking things out on the radio and started for the slough on the edge of the field while I ran under the auger with the grain cart. Meanwhile my big brother and one of his friends that was running our trucks for the day stopped my R62 combine he was running, and started grabbing every fire extinguisher we had in the trucks, combine, or service pickup, grabbed my pickup and started flying across the field. My uncles yard is about a mile or so away right at a T crossing that leads to the prarie trail our field is at, and they saw the commotion that was going on and turned on their radios to our channel. We had some family visiting due to one of my cousin's racing semi pro motocross. That cousin (according to my aunt) just jumped his race quad out of the back of his pickup, no ramps or anything, ran over to the shop and started strapping fire extinguishers on his nerf bars with tarp straps, and left the yard like a bat out of hell, different cousin who has dirt track modified's ran over to his little garage where he keeps his cars and duct taped like 6-8 fire extinguishers he could steal off their equipment and also left the yard wide open. My uncles grabbed one of my younger cousins, stuck him on a loader tractor and hooked him to our water tank, while the one uncle that farmed grabbed his water trailer, and the other ran down to our yard and snagged our old tender truck we use for spraying. While they were doing that we had the combine finally empty (thank god for Gleaners quick unloading augers) I jumped off the grain cart tractor ripping my 2 water extinguishers off the cart and tractor step and basically shoved it in the feeder house and duct taped the trigger open, and started ripping off feeder house covers, by that time dad hopped off, and my brother and his friend showed up and they started ripping side panels off. Never have seen my chubby 30 year old brother move so fast in my life, when he scaled the combine ladder and up into the grain tank unlatching all the access panels for the rotor. By that time, motocross cousin screams into the field and starts unstrapping fire extinguishers and we throw them up into the grain tank. But then we realized we didnt have anymore extinguishers for the feeder house so him and I yanked the big weighted access cover off the bottom of our feeder house and he starts ripping burnouts to throw dirt in there. Other cousin gets there with race car and starts ripping more extinguishers off and he grabs one and starts spraying up into the spreader and the sieves, while I'm up in the engine compartment with that big access cover open spraying into there as fast as my water pressured extinguisher would let me. Finally my uncles and little cousin show up with the water truck and trailers and we basically flooded the entire inside of the machine with water. If it wouldn't have been for visiting family, my brother coming out for the weekend wanting to help, his buddy that's never really seen a farm before other than when he works on semis and trucks for the shop that him and my brother work at, and my uncle and his family that farms taking that day a little slow due to company. Along with my dad being smart and always making sure our water trailers and pressurized water extinguishers are full and working when harvest starts. I dont think we would've saved that machine if anything turned out different, we were very, very, very lucky. Just cooked the paint off the inside, melted some easy to fix rubber seals, cooked like 8 different bearings, melted the rubber accelerator rollers, and the rubber ends on the spreader. Dad told me afterwards if we couldn't have saved it, he was just gonna shove the combine into the slough with the cart tractor instead of letting the whole countryside burn up, we were in the middle of a drought and everything was really damn dry, wheat somehow survived off the little sprinkles of rain we'd get and the fact that its by a creek that feeds into a slough.
I have been so blessed. Thousands of Acres of wheat in Oklahoma and never had a combine fire. Had a tornado once LOL
You mentioned in conversation with your dad that there had been discussions on how to react in case of a suspected combine fire. It is good practice to reacquaint yourself with safety practices and how to handle emergency scenarios as you move from machine to machine. We used to call them tail gate sessions when the team would review the hazards they would face in that day's work. It seemed boring and was repetitive, but it refreshed everyone so they could know how to react if needed. The best benefit is it put the issues in mind, and hopefully, you never have to deal with the consequences.
Good video and show of how to handle an "event."
Every construction or operating job Ive ever worked we had daily tailgate meetings to start the day. Its an industry standard thats definitely saved lives
Nice save. Been out of farming over 10 years, I miss it every spring and fall. I know the noise you described, does not matter what brand either. It’s amazing how you feel, hear, smell and watch when running anything. Thanks for the videos.
Had the same exact thing happen to me last year on my 9770 sts and turned out to be the wiring harness in that same location was grounding out where it goes into the separator area. The wires where the ones going to the separator loss sensor. Thankfully our volunteer fire department was quick on the horn and saved our machine also!
Great save. And I agree with the not blasting a radio while operating equipment. I'm a truck driver, never operated a combine YET (some day when I win the lottery, I have a plan that involves trying my hand at every piece of equipment I can get into 😎)
While I listen to the radio during my day, it's not up super loud. I'm in tune with the truck, every noise, every vibration, everything. I become one with the truck. This has saved my butt and my employers butt on a number of occasions. Cuz I'm aware when something happens.
Great job, great video.
My adrenaline sure got in gear watchin this. Cpl yrs ago my 9760 STS was smoldering inside the cone shaped deal the rubber straw spreaders bolt onto. Little holes at the top had allowed fine dust & ground wheat straw to sift down into the steel cones.. one side was over half full of smoldering crap. We like to never have found where the heat was comin from. Evidently the bearing was gettin a little warm but not near ready to lock down. We finally grabbed the temp gun after the rest of the machine had cooled down. Next day I bought one of those hand held temp sensors to carry on every tractor & pickup. Your 9660 is a nice clean machine. Glad you didn't lose it.
That’s a good idea.
I've had just about every combine we've owned in the last 40 years on fire at one time or another , nothing ever to serious but it sure can get your heart pumping !!
Ben, this would be a great video for an high school or college at class as great example of sticking with a possible disaster using a level head to save what you can.
Great job noticing the problem before it was too late. Calm fast action saved that machine
Glad to see the combine didn't burn up. Thank God you had just talked about "what if". Thankful you're OK and everything is working on your farm.
Thank you sharing.
Thanks for watching.
The only thing that matters in this world is your life thank God your ok. God Bless you Ben. My husband is a hard worker like you Be safe and God Bless
Your right on the MacDon header. I was told if you ordered one by October 1st you'd maybe get it by next June. Good thing you caught it when you did. Finish harvest safely.
Sure glad you were able to find the problem and she didnt go up to bad. Hopefully this is the only hiccup you have for the rest of the year. Awesome channel, and love the content!
Thanks Chris!
I used to have a 9670 sts, and it would start smouldering like that at the back of the rotor in beans, put the fire out, blew it out inside and out with an industrial compressor, finished soybeans, went on to corn and wheat didn't have an issue, the next year start on soybeans and it started smouldering again. Turns out it was the two wires on the rotor loss sensors that had rubbed through and were touching, so I went ahead put new wires on it and have never had an issue ever since, all the symptoms were the same except for the funny sound, luckily you caught it!!
Scrolling through these comments, I am so glad nobody that I've seen is just saying "oh, that's John Deere for you"
Props to you for remaining so calm
I know next to nothing about farming except for playing farming simulator and that was years ago, so naturally I was surprised when I came across this video.
Man, you’re hilarious. Exactly my type of humor. You have a new subscriber.
Lesson: Farming is not for the feign of heart. Much respect to all farmers. Super job handling the situation. In aviation we practice emergency procedures and table talk thru how we would deal with them. I imagine working with large expensive equipment farmers might do similar. God bless you and I Sub’d to support you.
Ben you done good by keeping a level head while under (BUT PUCKERING MOMENTS) I worked on 707 Boeing's my hole carrier in the USAF , now retired but I've been working on Bines since I was 14 yrs old and I have stopped on many roads to drive across fields to stop a farmer who was combining and I could smell the smoke and hear the bearings squalling, got them shut down and fixed there problem for them if they weren't able, just to help but that's just me.
That’s kind of you. It’s hard to catch sometimes.
Wowzers, that got MY heart racing and I was only watching the video!! Absolutely amazing that you stayed as calm-headed as you did during all that! I would have been a nervous, shaking wreck after coming that close to having my machine catch fire around me! Would probably have totally panicked, forgot everything I needed to do and ended up watching the combine AND the grain go up in flames, never mind being able to stop it from happening and then be able to go again an hour later with another combine!! I am in awe in how quickly you reacted, the fact you followed all the right steps needed to stay in control of the situation and then got on with the day like it was business as usual!!
Well done, my good sir. Well done indeed!!!
Thank God you where close to water good work Ben great job had me on edge to fast thinking.
ohhh I've been waiting for this one, hope all went well gosh.
That's a real bummer that this happened! But you to get it on camera not for entertainment but a learning experience to show what happens and how to handle it! You did a great job reacting and getting it on film so it can help others if they are in that situation!
It's not neccessarily the quality or quantity , it's your content we enjoy from our recliners Ben and Molly ;-}
We've got an old 9500 that Accumulates large amounts of bean dust between the back of the tank and the engine. One bit of smoldering crap off of the exhaust manifold and up it goes. The sight of smoke and flames in the mirror really gets the old adrenaline flowing.
You even picked the right field for it to catch on fire because you were rigt next to your farm and you could attach a waterhose and extingush everything without making a mess with your fire extinguisher. Love the Video. I am glad that everything has gone so well.
Outstanding job avoiding a major loss. You know your machine well. Not so sure I would have reacted that cool.
Good thing you were close to home. Glad it went as well as it did. Good job.
Thanks!
Very quick thinking. Seeing you dropping the head and emptying the hopper is smart, try to save what you can. No since losing it all
Wow. Just Wow. You were souch calmer through that than I would have been. Thankful you're ok. All the "stuff" can be replaced. You can't.
The very main thing, your ok!!! I had kind of this same happen on a combine. Bearing too. Heck of a feeling. Thanks.
That's the calmest panic I've seen in a long time. 😁
You handled that like a pro, well done. 👌
Wow! Great job keeping your cool and getting that situation under CONTROL!
Glad you are okay Ben, that's the real good thing.
We had a International 1460 that was bought new in 1976. Sometime in the 90s it caught fire and burnt. We were too far from a water hose so we could try putting it out. We found later that the front rotor bearing had gone out. It always got greased everyday, but still, it can happen! It was a Beast of a machine too.
Quick thinking and a good sniffer save the day. You handled that well! Crisis averted!👏
You just wanted to make sure it no longer smelled like a skunk! Thanks for the work and interesting content!
the calm panic in your voice when you smell the fire is crazy, I can feel the adrenaline you must have felt
Well done , could have been very costly. Are fire extinguishers carried on combines ?
Yes, probally wouldn't be big enough to do much there was one in a camera angle at 20:18 along with multiple others
Glad you and the combine is ok
Your insurance company ought to be kissing your butt for that fantastic save! Well done!!!
Great catch Ben, saved a lot of $$$$$$ there. When I was 17 my Dads Massey caught on fire, I was running gravity box, pre cart era. Saw the flames through the cooling fan on radiator, jumped up and grabbed fire extinguisher, Dad had no clue it was on fire.
glad everything came out ok. really nice to see 4K. looked awesome.
It was good!? I’ll keep it up!
@IowANFarmer : This video convinced me to subscribe.
Great save on your combine!
I've been preaching for years & years about how important it is to listen to and get to know your equipment that you operate.
Operators that are always listening to the radio blasting, or whatever distraction they have are only awaiting disasters to find them.
There is an update for the 60 series where they pull the rotor and weld a piece of key stock to keep the dust from packing in the back of the rotor like the 70 series, might be worth looking into if it hasn’t already been done. Good catch!
As someone who has ran these machines for 1000's of hours, and ran john deere combines since the 95b, as a custom harvester, I know what burns them.
A bearing fire isn't a big issue inside, you have time to put it out. Engine fires are the problem. We actually carried 30 gallons of water on every machine as the engine bay fires were so bad. I got into the engine bay at night while the machine was threshing and found the problem. The exhaust was throwing big chunks of what looked like charcoal on fire out onto the machine. We ran the exhaust out the back along the side of the unloading auger. This stopped the engine bay fires, however we started setting the wheat fields on fire.
Finally I figured out where the charcoal was coming from. These machines use a device on the exhaust to create a vacuum and a hose that connects that vacuum unit to the engine air intake pre-cleaner.. the pre-cleaner pulls the big debris out of the engine intake air stream. I found that unit on the exhaust stopped up with dirt and debris and the hose running to the precleaner full of small pieces of straw and dust. The heat from the exhaust was setting that debris on fire and as it burnt down it would break loose and enter the exhaust stream.it was then blown straight up in the air and land in the engine bay ...we learned to blow clean the exhaust unit every morning, and blow the hose out connected to it. We never had another combine fire. I promise you, if you check that exhaust vacuum unit on any combine, you're gonna find charcoal in it.
That don't mean you don't have to blow the radiator clean every morning and the trash that accumulates around the exhaust sytem..
New subscriber here! I have family in Fontanelle, Iowa , which I haven’t seen in a long time. Good ole uncle Graden
Wow that was close. Be safe and stay alert. Good stuff 🤜🤛
Thanks for sharing, I enjoy watching.
Well done! Excellent quick thinking too! :)
For me, I kept an ear and eye out at all times for my car, I noticed my oil gauge twitching when turning left or right, turned out it was time to get an oil change, after the oil change, didn't twitch at all.
For my car's engine, I noticed it's temperature was rising in a minute and rising quickly, even in hot or cold weather, then it was passing the midway point and almost into the red, I quickly shut off my car, held the clutch in and left it in gear (so that I don't damage the transmission and that the geartrain can still be lubricated while making an emergency stop.)
I had to wait about two hours to let the engine cool off gradually than all at once, I used my cheapo OBDII scanner to monitor the engine temps until it got down to 80F (bare minimum or rather so it didn't boil) and then I was able to remove the radiator cap to carefully refill it with water.
After refilling it with half a gallon of water, it purred like a kitten and never overheated again after that.
Scarlet (my car) is like a sister to me, she was there for me and she was my first car that I got back in 2018 after I graduated High School, and that car refuses to quit on me, and in general. She's a badass 98 mustang with a standard 5 speed and a 3.8l v6. Man I love that car. Put on about an extra 205,000mi on the odometer since I bought 'er for $1200. Money well spent. B)
I have no clue how to be a farmer, but if I were to work for y'all on the farm, I'd try to design a fire-resistant sprinkler system that will spray water in key areas in the combine as a preventative measure, because y'all help feed the country and I'd want to help repay the favor, y'all deserve the best and most of all: Lives matter. I want y'all to be safe.
The farm fire brigade handles the Problem. Good job Boys!
That silver combine is looking better and better. I like a combine that can go through its first season with out a significant breakdown.😳😳😳😳😳😳
Ben, Bandit isn’t spoiled, he’s Loved!
Quick thinking my friend! Glad everything was ok? The important thing is that it didn’t burn to the ground! Take care!
Our 9570 was smoldering in the feed accelerator too we got a big piece of metal wrapped around the rotor and cought fire
Send it all the way up?
gosh so happy you didnt lose the whole thing
You are Kicking It! Blessings Your Way! Farming is always adjusting to every kind o$ variable. You are educating America with your Real Time videos.
You're doing a good job of keeping the channel interesting. But setting the combine on fire is a little too interesting. Thought you kept your wits about you very well and avoided a catastrophe. Well done!!
Not the type of excitement we need huh?!
Yep don't need quite THAT much excitement!
I live across from my parents now...I have hoses hooked up to all my spigots... there's one down at my dad's... my dad's called me once this year... screamed in my ear I'm on fire.. and I just bolted. Thank God he was right by my house
Great video Ben and bandit
I just subscribed to your channel. I am an avid watcher and subscriber to MN farmer, Brian’s Farming Videos, Mike Mitchell in Canada and my favorite Larson Farms BUT DAM this was by far the MOST intense video ever. So glad you saved your machine, your calm head saved the head the computers and the machine. Job very well done. Thank you for the video you have a new fan/subscriber keep up the the good work and be safe. 💪💪
Welcome Along!
Combine catching on fire: *uses water*
Fite extinguisher: am i a joke to you?
Douse the entire interior with water, then, if you find the actual source, use the fire extinguisher if necessary. If you have access to a water hose, you likely have way more water than you do fire extinguisher, so it's best to reserve it for when it's really needed or is needed in a certain area.
Ben, you had a 8 year old boy before school pretty worried. Also his suggestion is “park the damn thing in a slough, then your field don’t catch on fire!” Lol
No doubt!
Was great how you took extra time to film this up for us instead of 100% on fire fighting 😂🇳🇿🙏
Had that happen before. That’s a real fun bearing. My cousin also did it the year before me in the same combine and wore a 7 in hole down the metal. Like the guy said an alert farmer is a good one. Lol
Very glad you acted quick & fast , stay safe , you are amazing !
Well done sod buster mighty good thinking you saved it for sure. Sam
Ben, Combines can be replaced. YOU CAN'T BE. When it comes to fires.. Your MORE important than any farm equipment.
Just glad you were able to dial in and recognise the trouble signs as most combines are well ablaze before the operator even knows what is going on.
Just glad to see you and your Dad are OK and that the combine has not changed its color to a shade of Blackish grey.
And a crisp heap on the ground.
Wouldn’t that make it a fendt? Lol
I have a lot of those Argiope spiders (wasp) in my flower beds and garden. They are great.
That’s what they are called.
That was close! Good job.
You are the third fire I seen this year. I don't know why no one has a water pack to fight a fire like a fireman use to fight a field fire.
Lots of guys here have water tanks and fire hoses on the fields. Even with that Combines can burn up very fast. Tanks are more to control the fire from spreading in most cases.
Glad the ol girl didn’t burn 🔥 down. Nice 👍 video
Seems to be a lot of equipment fires during harvest season. Probably would be good to invest in a used 5,000 gallon water truck with 1-1/2" water hose filled up and ready to roll at a moments notice any time tractors/equipment are in the field. Luckily where I live, we have a manned fire house 8-miles away and three volunteer stations within 5-mile radius, all of them with large capacity water tenders.
Knowing something is getting hot or starting to burn is scary, no matter where you are be it a vehicle, building, equipment etc and as soon as its detected the clock has started..... Find it before it finds you and hopefully it can be dealt with once it is found.
Thank God you were able to do what was necessary to save other valuables and get to an ample supply of water before things possibly got bad.
I have to say you are one calm cool guy for being in that situation
Good job on the quick thinking.... Glad you are ok
That was too close! Your channel came up in discussion during Brian's Farm Video livestream, hope he checks out this channel. I'm glad I did!
Welcome along! Brian has a great channel!
Glad to hear you're OK physically after this.
I am glad you caught it.
I like the tool skid idea, will build something along that line down the road
Let me know when you do!
Ben just watched another TH-camr and everytime I watch he gave click bait!!! Thank you for not doing that a keeping it real!!!
Failed bearings are the most common cause for combine fires . I've been in one that caught fire before as well Our 9870sts caught on fire during bean harvest in 2012. we use a water filled fire extinguisher for on our combines they work better than a hose for reaching inside the machine. Next time forget the GPS monitor and get the head off and park the thing fast . Your life is more valuable than that monitor and combine but You kept calm and survived. Great video !
Head was off first. Monitor second (because I own all the technology lol)
@@iowANFarmer I'm glad the machine is OK. Those combines burn super fast . The burning leaf smell is a dead giveaway .
My uncle lost his 3 year old Massey combine the same way 8 years ago bearings went bad while running corn and it went up quickly barely had time to get it out of the rows and drop the header he survived with no injuries but the combine was a complete loss
We fixed a bearing, took combine out, the rear beater dust caught fire and would not go out. But we all cleared the area worked and got it out.
Yup it gets your heart going good thing you were close to water but good thing you are safe 👍
"Got a fire in here somewhere."
No, I'm watering it. Trying to grow the next size model. Hopefully it will sprout before the next field.
I love the Chuck Norris scene that was great.
Interesting. Thank you.
I am so sorry that it almost caught on fire for sure we might have had to call paramedic for you but you got it under control my friend you done the right thing should have stuck your finger over the hose to make it spray a little bit wider but when you're in a panic mode yeah you don't think of things like that but anyway I'm glad you got it taken care of my friend I'm glad you noticed it take care and God bless🙏👌👍🚜
I had that happen with a riding lawnmower once, it'll get your heart pumping. Glad it didn't turn catastrophic.
Great save!! Awesome video 👍👍
You got a fire extinguisher on ya ladders!!🙄😆😆💪👍
That was awesome what you did; Super iowain to save the day.
That's what you call dedication to the camera 😂 Glad everything is ok!
