good use of the resources you had at hand to get the combine away from the header

I am small farmer and worried about fires when using a borrowed combine to harvest rye and oats. Glad it was only stubble

This is why you have a water truck standing by.

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

Glad everyone is safe. The header can be replaced. Plus with equipment like this I'm sure it's insured ❤ Love you Trev!👍💯❤️✌️

Where was the roller bearing that caught fire? Seems odd.

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 .

​@@toledojeeper2932yep once that chaff goes its over. Finished another harvest this year with no issues due to cleaning. Always start the day with cleaning belts and blowing off the combine. Best we can do.

New fuel wagons do have water supply and some new grain carts I believe.

Seen enough of these on fire, in these conditions, fire suppression should be on stand bye.

Nothing burns like a Deere... Lucky it didn't spread to the machine.

Rock On Trev.

Thy need to have a quick detach system to remove header in an emergency

Hillco really needs ot develop a feeder house pin system like the factory level lands machines

Sorry for you're loss of the header bro.

Sucks that the headers gone, least you got the combine out!

The guy in the combine sure took his time getting away from the header - like he was deaf to the instructions being shouted to him !

Never understood why these farmers don't invest on a water truck, but that's corporate farming today..

What’s corporate farming ? Almost all family farms are now LLC’s so is that considered a corporate farm ?

As a Deere, nothing of value was lost

Nice! Yeah, its for sure fun to operate these things. Around here, our view is especially good, but the hills can be a bit nerve racking. Today i was sliding a half million dollar machine along a sidewall of a hill. Was scary but fun! Glad you enjoy watching!

Those are such expensive machines that someone should design a built in fire suppression system and possibly even heat sensors in and around the machine.

I would rig my own fire suppression system up using Halon similar to what yachts use, use one that has a temp activated sensor., locate them in fire sensitive area on the combine

PIA to lose a header. Glad everyone is ok. The 200 gal Sprayer on the grain cart sounds like a must do project. Sorry you had to go through the ordeal but sure made an exciting video.

Menos mal que pudiste salvar las maquinas, espero que el corte se pueda reparar, a qui desde España nos obligan a llevar 2 mochilas de 16 lt y 2 extintores en la cosechadora más un bate fuego, éste año a salido un producto muy bueno qué es más efectivo que el agua y se llama ECOFIRE hay video en KZread y lo metemos en las mochilas en vez de agua, espero que os sirva de ayuda. Un saludo desde España.

Way you guys operate you must be local

Douse feeding hosta to the dear count as a hobby?

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.

At lease not a battery combine / at u guys not hurt 😢

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.

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.

Y’all are lucky are case combine burned down and is was a little over half over a million dallies
