  • We had a fire on one of our combines headers that was spreading to the John Deere Combine. We attempted to put it out multiple times but failed. Ultimately the header was lost, but no one was hurt and the combine was saved. Thanks for checking out the video.

    We've burned 150 acres of standing wheat when our combine caught on fire. Would've only burned 15 acres if we had a disk. Water doesn't do anything iron is the only way to stop a fire

    Guys, I know you drag a lot of stuff to the field, but a fuel trailer with 500 gallons of treated fire retardant water might be a big help..

      Once that water hits the chaff and dust it’s all over no matter how much water you have . I know from experience . Lost our combine when water kicked up the chaff on the feeder house and the whole thing just exploded into a fireball .
      Best thing to do is a good cleaning everyday and check all bearings and belts .

    For as much as combines cost and for as little they get used each year
    it seems to me you guys would be $$ ahead by using custom harvesters.
    Oh, I know combining is way fun but sometimes you have remember
    your running a business & the bottom line is the end goal.
    BUT, what do I know? I'm just a simple cave man.

      My dad does what you suggest. Most farmers don’t wanna rely on the whim of another person to bring in their crops. Unforeseen things tend to happen that are out of our control when it comes to other people cutting for you.

    Was the fire department called? You handled the situation well but anytime you smell burning or see smoke the first thing you should do is call the fire department. Trust me, the firefighters would much rather be called and not be needed than show up late to a more serious fire because the farmer thought he could control it himself. Seen too many combine fires in my county this year because of over confident farmers. Great save, but please take this into consideration.

    • @TrevorStruthers
      @TrevorStruthers  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah they were called, but we were 20 miles from where the volunteer firefighters trucks were dispatched from. All unpaid volunteers fight fires around here. Most crews have one or two out there though. Everyones busy during harvest, harvesting.
