John Deere Combine Fire

[ffjsb]

I don't know why they don't put extinguishing systems on these machines. It would only cost a few hundred dollars to protect a 200K+ machine, not to mention potential crop loss. A simple pressurized water system with a little foam concentrate is all you need.

[Kopihucky]

Was it full of diesel? Lots of black smoke

[PaperbatVGFAN67]

poor deere <:(

[simonspics1]

I didnt know whether to check like or dislike,either way the combine is a total loss! I can about guess what started it! The only thing to do is plow or disk around the machine to contain the fire and otherwise let it burn out! Sometimes owning ur own fire water pumper would be good,but maybe not too practical.Hope he had Insurance! Thanks for sharing!

[franciscogdelima]

se tiver seguro deixa derretê! haha

apaga naum!

[jihadonafromen]

What I can't understand is why is the other machines stopped and everyone standing around looking at it? I mean if that was my crop I'd be cracking the whip on the other machines to keep going and get the crop off. Also you're hardly gonna pay for a burnt combine if the other ones are parked up... But still scary stuff!

[spamkingalpha]

Get rid of insurance and farmers might start taking care of equipment properly again

[yungprince870]

damn grain dust is no freakin joke who wouldve thought grain dust could be such serious problem

[thekeeganduhrkopf]

[nfziegelbauer]

how the held did this happen 

[TheDomtar]

air cooled?

[spitfire1936]

What caused this fire?. Was it a runaway diesel engine?

[mountaincat1000]

@spitfire1936 doubt it prolly got some stalks and grain dust to close to the motor and the heat of the motor started it on fire

[schokoladenfondue1]

wIE IST DAS PASSIERT ß

[ad17ster]

wow. did insurance pay for it???

[salmojack]

Thats a helluva flame- what's fueling it?

[chickenman009]

like i always say... nothing "burns" like a deere!!!

[InsanityJoe87]

@chickenman009 lol yea no shit our 4995 windrower just burnt a couple hours ago

[TheDelicious0015]

@chickenman009 old 1. try something else.

Nothing is a big gay like you!

[chickenman009]

@TheDelicious0015 calling people gay... "old 1. try something else."

also if they weren't cheap and made everything out of 100% plastic things like this wouldn't happen!

[TheDelicious0015]

@chickenman009 your really gay :S damm don't go to talk to you. mom always tell me i may not speak to people who are gay or can't buy a deere :)

[jonmaloneIA]

@chickenman009

Those "cheap" plastic panels you refer to are made out of a soybean by-product thereby increasing the value of the very product the machine is harvesting. Expensive steel panels would only make the machine even more expensive and take away profit from the the bean farmer driving it.

[NHSchumer]

that will remind you to check and grease your bearings every morning!

[10001000CowBoy]

@NHSchumer Thats waht i was thinking as soon as i seen the fire Probly not Mantained properly so barings overheated started fire!

[gatewaysolo104]

get closer

[dfisch53]

shitty deal, we had our 9600 smoking a few times and some small blazes but we always caught it in time.

[elchikikarkas]

ruunnn!!!!!!!!!!

[engine12f]

Built like a deere

[pokemaster5867]

why why god did this have to happen dont' you have somthing to do like burn a case

[iwanaGoFast2010]

@pokemaster5867 he was doing us a favor !! Hope noone got hurt though.

[JonDeere01]

@pokemaster5867 the only reason there only johndeere on fire is cause there is not case to burn god said i need something to burn i cant fine a case lets burn a 20 year old combine

[CombineWizard]

So sorry this had to happen to you all. Glad no humans were hurt. At least the combine went quickly.

[traviss584]

we've had them smoldering but never burn up yet, sunflowers are the worst it seems the chaff and dust just builds up so bad, i've heard most of the time its just static that starts em, since we started bolting a chain to the frame and letting it drag it doesn't do it as much

[Polybun]

usually combine fires start as a fuel leak. Or a bearing over heating in the fan and sparking up and igniting the grain. Once those things get going there is no stopping them. No big deal, another one will be built by somebody. the government will pay for it all.

[tractorman900]

did you guys find out what caused the fire

[firemanupton]

@tractorman900 9 times out ten its a bearin that goes out an causes it to burn to the ground
