Combine fire stopped in the field
Ойын-сауық
No one was hurt. We thought had roller bearings on the center draper belt fail. It wqs actually a chain throwing sparks. My header lit on fire while I was cutting wheat. The video starts after most of the fire is mostly contained. We got it under control and I drove it to the river to wait on the volunteer fire brigade. No GoPro that day, so it's not the best quality.

Some of us carry water on the combine for just such an emergency. I have seen a couple of combines with 50 gallon tanks and enough hose to reach all the way around the machine.
Half a million dollar combine, a 10,000 dollar water trailer is just a drop in the bucket for the difference of saving or loosing.
Damn, that was intense and scary. We had an 8120 completely destroyed by fire, now we have a tender trailer with a sludge pump at the ready at all times. Fire extinguishers are not enough for any type of combine fire. Just when you think you got it, it comes back and is too late by then.

Olá aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷 tem em algumas COLHETADEIRAS QUE usamos ÁGUA NOS PENEUS TRASEIROS ,com uma mangueira no aro para esse tipo de citação.
Think l would un hook the header
Lucky we mainly grow grain sorghum/milo, corn, and cotton. We are more worried about cotton pickers catching on fire, and we always have water fir the pickers, but all farm machinery can go up fast.

Thank you! 😃
If you have a header and feeder house fire the first thing you do is take the header off.

We like to live dangerously here in the States... Just kidding. I have seen combines burn up even after the trucks got there. Heavy with water he got stuck in the field before he got to the machine. Local county unit had to wait on another truck but it was too late.
Great footage. 2388 giving the 9 series competition
Luckily you caught this in time.
This is the reason I carry a cordless battery powered leaf blower on my combine,at least once a day I blow off the header and feeder house and two fire extinguishers.

Belts, bearings and things can cause a spark at any time and place and any dry buildup will only take seconds to blaze up! Hopefully nothing was ruined and you fellas will be up and running soon!
Stay safe boys and girls!!!
Be careful under the head. Had a friend that didn't use the safety lock and hydraulic hose burst crushing him and his farm hand to death.

We have a lockout we dropped in place. Yeah though, those things can drop quick.

@@TrevorStruthers Is there a reason to drop them quickly in normal operations? I would expect the cylinder that raises them to have an outflow restrictor ("leaky one-way valve") directly on the port, so that its lowering speed is limited and I wonder whether I'm missing something that would make that infeasible of ineffective.

@@robertobryk4989 You can adjust the speed at which they go up and down. They can go down as fast or faster than free fall if you want. I do a lot of tapping on the inputs, not really holding it cause when you hold the button, the header drops out fast.
Ola aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷 ,usamos ÁGUA NOS PENEUS TRASEIROS COM UMA MANGUEIRA JA NO ARO PARA ESSE TIPO DE SITUAÇÕES . SEVE A DICA
What's the deal with repeating the voice over "on fire " every 30,seconds even when it was put out...made for hard watching

There was near 100 F bombs in the video. I got tired of simply deleting them, so i added my nonsensical babble and other nonsense over the top of the actual audio. It was mostly me saying F this and F that
NA COLHEITA da soja é um grande risco de INCÊNDIO, água nos PENEUS ja salvou alguma máquina.

Google translation: IN THE HARVEST OF SOYBEANS is a great risk of FIRE, water in the PENEUS has already saved some machine. Yeah some water tanks in the field on some piece of machinery would be nice.
