You’ve got to be kidding me , we didn’t need that this year but your safe , and combines burn regularly with that much dust . It’s been a crazy year so far , prices are down and you’re working your tail off getting the crop out plus the kids and wife . Hay it’s a combine and it’s probably better you got a newer one or batter one because I haven’t seen it yet . Regardless you play on my TV all day long and out of all the farmers I pull for you the most . Anyone who can think to take the tractor and shove the header off of a flaming combine well your the shit , save that head !! I wished I lived close to you and I’d help you finish harvesting for the year . Just keep your head up ! We love you buddy !
About 11 years ago my uncle's combine was a complete loss due to a fire while he was shelling corn the main thing is that no one got hurt or lost life a combine can be replaced a person can't
Unfortunate part of farming but at least you here to crank it up another day. Equipment can be replaced. Wish you the best and thankful for gods grace. Keep pushing brother!
glad to see you and others are safe , sorry to see equipment having to burn not good for anyone , some farms have their tanks on tractors filled with water just for those , and big fire extinguishers on combines
Well, you started without a pot to piss in, started a family, took a solid look at what it today and made enough good decisions to have what your rolling now...Put the time and effort and now it was just one of them "chance it can happen".....Tested and trued now, you got a solid future ahead...You can weather the rainy days n make hay when the sun is shin'n like a crazy diamond...Way way to many of those poly tanks turned a piece in a flame show....
That seems to be the story of this year. In my area in Iowa we have quite a few people having combine and field fires. Anyway wish you best of luck on the rest of your harvest.
Sorry that happened to you man. And I agree with other peoples comments about plastic fuel tanks. With as much fuel as they hold they should not be on these big machines. At least combines for sure. But you got out yourself with no injuries, and it sounds like things got taken care of and came together pretty quickly for you to get settled with your insurace and get another combine in the field. That's awesome.... With that said, having been a service tech and service manager for a dealer for 23 years, it really pisses me off when people just ignore warning lights and buzzers and screens on their monitors! They are there for a reason people! That is to protect your machine, and yourself, and your investment folks!! If you get a warning alert, stop and check it out! You may save yourself a lot of money! Saw another one a few weeks ago where a guy ignored his low engine oil pressure warning when it came on. "Damn idiot lights. They never work right" was what he said as he kept on going down the field with his combine. Well, he stopped shortly after that when the engine started losing power because it was seizing up.Turns out the idiot light was working. $47,000 later he had a new engine in his combine. When they checked the oil on the old engine, it was not even on the dipstick. They drained it and got six gallons out of it. That engine holds 15 gallons. Granted, some could have blown out the exhaust in the final few minutes before he finally shut it down. So there was some really poor maintenance there too, but it still could have been avoided if he had stopped when his "idiot light" and alarm came on. Who was the idiot?
Glad everyone is safe! Sorry to see happen to any farmer! Fireman did good at saving the front and cabto be salvaged lol. Thankfully insurance will help.
Ethan my heart goes out to you. At least you’re okay. Insurance will do something.Thank you for doing what you do! And for busting your butt day in and day out.
Hi from Western Australia.. Sorry to hear about the fire.. Fighting a fuel fire with just water at the beginning and no foam suppression till later on just doesn't cut it ... Here we have a company that will modify and install steel fuel tanks for the harvesters... Ours have all been modified with steel tanks. Here in Australia, you hardly hear about a harvester burning down... Here we have a fire suppression systems installed in everyone of our harvesters. Having this system in place reduces our farm equipment insurance...
@@daniedippenaar2224 that's a good suggestion to minimize static charge buildup, here our problem is the ground surface is usually too dry when the harvesters hit the field.. My grand father came up with the idea to mounted small single ripper tines to the header fronts to penetrate the soil and we have continued to use this idea as this helps to eliminate the static build up....
Glad all is as good as it can be. So maybe they will let you keep the LSW tires. Take care and if you need anything I'm just up here in Sullivan county with many trips to GPC.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS 🚜 If you replace with same model buy SALVAGE combine from insurance company. I have done on trucks. Having parts or selling parts just made memories of 🔥 less dramatic as salvage machine was a Blessing . Time saver and profitable
Welll......all combines will catch fire if you don't clean then off regularly. Typically a caseih combine trash will and does get caught up under the muffler and will spread from there. We have had 2 in our area do that in the last 4 years and they were a nightmare to fix. This year it's been rough for dry dusty beans. We have been blowing off the combines every morning and afternoon and have been lucky thus far. Buddy still have 400ac of beans left and 50ac of milo so we will see if it makes it through
We lost a tractor in june to a fire and we lost our baler the very start of september to another fire. Its disheartening to watch something go from perfectly fine one minute and trashed the next. Most helpless feeling in the world standing there knowing you arent gonna be able to save it.
Agree with comments plastic tanks are not good. Should be outlawed for combines for sure and maybe tractors too. Lost a tractor same way in 2022. Once the fuel tank melted it was over
All I can say is,,,, your insurance man is going to buy you fire extinguishers for Christmas 😂 Been there! Had a cotton stripper go up in smoke one year. And almost lost a bale stripper that was a year old last year. Rock in a row unit,,,,, spark, plus big fan equals blow torch.
If you have a good signal you can tighten up that header really tight to the crop. We run sf3 deere signals and we are running 39.3 feet on our 40 foot headers . Too many other things going on to worry about steering haha
Least ur ok, blow that motor an muffler compartment off midday, sucks to do it but it could save a life or the machine an i big headache, thanks for sharing
Glad insurance took care of you. I've seen a few of them burned to the ground. Carrying a leaf blower and couple large extinguishers might help, but you got to religiously check for buildup. It can happen to anyone.
sorry to see that happen to you.well there is a bright side to the fire .numbewr 1 is you are ok and not huert.number 2 is you did not lose the rest of the field.
Yesterday, my grandpa sucked up a whole top of a telephone pole that stuff was treated and bent a bunt of stuff but a chainsaw and a few hours goter done
Those F***ing plastic fuel tanks. Cheap to make, and conform to lots of weird little nooks and crannies, but a big cause of lots of machines being lost.
Sorry to hear of you combine fire. You could do with something like a Bale Blaster Pro, a fellow RUclipsr Tom Lamb has fabricated to prevent fires and to get rid of chaff. Works on the principal of a tyre bead Blaster ruclips.net/video/PDwor3Kqivw/видео.htmlsi=4q7p712a5vpXtgHo I reckon that and a steel fuel tank

Glad your safe and everything else was able to be saved.Hate seeing it every year happens.Wishing you a remaining safe harvest season
As a farmer I would never wish this on my worst enemy
I am sorry for your combine but I am happy that you did not get hurt
Glad you are safe. I always look forward to your videos almost as much as Sonne Farms. When life gives you lemons make lemonade.
Glad your ok and your right that’s why you have insurance. Hopefully your new unit treats you good. Maybe try them green ones 😉
Yeah, a claas is fine if u got dealership around for parts, service
Damn bro,thank God you and the neighbors crop was spared! Nice when you have good insurance.

Glad you are okay! As always happy to see a video posted by Clarke Farms
So thankful to see you safe. PTL for insurance. Good lick with the new combine. Good luck with the rest of harvest and stay safe.

at least you wernt hurt hope you have better luck for rest of harvest
Brother I'm just thankful your didn't get hurt . Machinery is replaceable people aren't.
That's to bad sorry to hear and see thanks for sharing it is a big loss
Just glad you are safe equipment can be replaced hope you have good and safe harvest

I heard about a combine fire south on 257 and you were the first person I thought of
you did the right thing trying to save the header.i think something was leaking and got hot oil to start burning
Ethan my heart goes out to you. At least you’re okay. Insurance will do something.Thank you for doing what you do! And for busting your butt day in and day out.

Sorry for the combine loss, man. Put out a long compilation of your fire videos. Grab them views since you have the footage
It is good your ok.A combine can be replaced a life can not.
Glad you are ok!!
Glad all is as good as it can be. So maybe they will let you keep the LSW tires. Take care and if you need anything I'm just up here in Sullivan county with many trips to GPC.
DAMN SO SORRY TO SEE MY HEART IS WITH YOU BRO
Cause of fire? Left hand chopper bearing?
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS 🚜
If you replace with same model buy SALVAGE combine from insurance company. I have done on trucks. Having parts or selling parts just made memories of 🔥 less dramatic as salvage machine was a Blessing . Time saver and profitable
Glad no one hurt. Main thing.
Two combines burnt here in south east Michigan and 30 acres of beans 10/6 /24 dry as a bone and 30 mph winds.
Welll......all combines will catch fire if you don't clean then off regularly. Typically a caseih combine trash will and does get caught up under the muffler and will spread from there.

Dis is a great combine fire video
They make fire suppression for combines now
Farmers do not spend enough time clean their machines
A reciprocating saw is your friend in those situations.
As Donald Duck would say Thit happens.
Glad you're ok.
Agree with comments plastic tanks are not good. Should be outlawed for combines for sure and maybe tractors too. Lost a tractor same way in 2022. Once the fuel tank melted it was over
Glad the insurance did you right . Glad you are safe.
These fruits will definitely attract many customers.

Blow your machine off every couple hours. Takes a few minutes
Had this happen to me about t 2 years ago on a brand new John Deere s780 harvesting wheat
Least ur ok, blow that motor an muffler compartment off midday, sucks to do it but it could save a life or the machine an i big headache, thanks for sharing
I’m glad nobody was hurt!
sorry for your loss
Awesome Video as Always!!!
Once you go autosteer on a combine you never will want to go back. So much easier to watch the header and watch for rocks
Glad you are safe! Quick thinking to at least get the head unhooked.
Glad you are safe.
Im so sorry that really sucks.😢
You ain’t havin good luck with machines burning!
Glad insurance took care of you. I've seen a few of them burned to the ground. Carrying a leaf blower and couple large extinguishers might help, but you got to religiously check for buildup. It can happen to anyone.
Glad you are OK.
knives are wore ouut turn them around but to late now good beans
How bad would have the fire been if the combine had a steel fuel tank ?
sorry to see that happen to you.well there is a bright side to the fire .numbewr 1 is you are ok and not huert.number 2 is you did not lose the rest of the field.
Can you sell any of the good panels?
we lost an 8230 few yrs ago to fire. appeared to go up in smoke in the same area
was the globe salvageable off the combine?
How do you like the tracks over wheels
Been there done that. It is definitely not fun.
hope the satellite system and your data was saved if thats important.
That sucks man.
what caused it ??? bearing ???
Red hot pile of scrap iron
Hey look at the good part about it u got a new combine coming
At the best is you are ok
Why. It just use an old spinner These choppers seem to be a nightmare
Snapchat seen it first
😮
Oh no
👇
Yesterday, my grandpa sucked up a whole top of a telephone pole that stuff was treated and bent a bunt of stuff but a chainsaw and a few hours goter done
I am sorry about your combine
Shit sorry
I'm sorry
