    Looks like a brand new machine, however I've been away from farming too long to tell.

    Well,, at least dude rescued his lunch-pails![;)] is fire usually caused by dust, and over heating? Or by fuel/hyd. fluid leaks? Seems to me a simple heat warning/fire sensor could be a great investment..

    There is not a more helpless feeling than to have to stand by and watch a piece of equipment go up in smoke. We have lost over the years a 7240 Case IH and a new AGH Shaker out in the field. When the big barn caught fire and burned in 2000, we lost a 7240, a harvester, dump wagon, pickup, bobcat loader and a forklift, just to name a few. Don

    Looks like they need to start carrying a bigger fire extinguisher.

    looks like a windy day and an engine fire, not a dust fire. Notice how clean the combine is, probably the cleanest I have ever seen one that isn't 'new'. A little burning oil and it doesn't matter how big your fire extinguisher is.

    Why is there no fire extinguisher dust anywhere to be seen? Was it not charged?

    What? Is an AC130 going to come drop some? Theres an extinguisher in picture #1, thats about all you have. We always had 1 in the cab, 1 in the holder on the outside.
