We had a field fire almost get outta control on a red flag day while cutting wheat in our combines. Harvest 2023 day 2 and the first of three fires we had in the first 4 days. All the fires were on my machine, so there is more to come. Stay tuned and subscribe for more content. CASE John Deere tractor with disk.

Great Video Trevor, I don't recall a fire started by a header but it is nearly 40 years since i have been involved with harvesting, thanks for sharing

I think that this one was static electricity, but my most popular full video is a header fire that nearly cost the people I was working with a combine. That combine didnt finish harvest anyways cause no header.

Yeah, we sat around for a bit but I am glad we got the radios figured out. There was two more fires to go on my machine. I was the only one that had any fires on our crew.

where are you guys harvesting right now? Is this Walla Walla or Palouse ?

This is old footage from last year i never released. Harvest usually starts here about the week after the 4th of July. 5th often.

Do you guys do any business with agri-northwest? My dad used to work there and he said he knew the struthers

@TrevorStruthers 22 күн бұрын

Yeah they border our families farm in Eureka. Used to be K2H but now the mormon church owns it and calls it agri northwest. They got lots of irrigation and potatoes

How did the steam engines run with out burning the whole country side ?

@TrevorStruthers 26 күн бұрын

Spark-arrestors perhaps. There is a lot of moving pieces on a modern combine and I have seen a lot of fires started by them.

@@TrevorStruthers yes there is, a corn field on fire is equal to the wheat field on fire. I have seen bearings start fires in corn.

@@danthurman9076 i believe it. Standing anything like that is bound to burn. I am uploading the whole feeder house fire video right now. We had 3 fires in a row at the start of harvest. A bearing on the head lost a header but we saved the combine. Thats an old video of mine

Looked like a big circle-jerk. If 30 mile an hour winds were actually happening I would not have been standing around with 5 people talking about it instead of ripping into the combine looking for where it was coming from. Act first and think later.
