Yeah. Its interesting. When I worked in the usa on the custom harvesting job, I arrived in February and immediately were harvesting Guar beans in texas, and came home at the end of November and left them finishing Milo in texas. They said they could find harvesting for 10 months of the year.

Did yhey manage to save it?
I thought you had fire fighting gear On site at all times?

There is no way they were saving that combine. It was probably completely engulfed in flame 60 seconds after that photo!

Uk fires usually start at the back

I think many do, that looks more like cab electrics perhaps, I'm sure the fire will spread front>back just as fast as back>front.

More likely a spark off the knife or a failed bearing on header

Got to watch for chaff build up on the gearbox. Quite common apparently.
Class combine engineers have warned me about that ,so I blow off the top of the gearbox every couple of days,the trouble is it is difficult to get to with compressed air lance , so I have a short and longer lance to reach it.

Is that it? I thought it would be a whole load of good harvesting pictures from round the world, it's just a load of charts

I just looked at it, not sure it's very accurate, in Asia for instance, it says in Thailand the rice harvest is March, April, May, yes you will see combines running then in the central area, north/south of BK, but they can get at least 2 crops a year in that area and combines will run most months other than the depths of the wet season. In other parts the main rice harvest is oct, Nov and Dec, I've seen the farmers queuing at the rice mills many times, farmers on one side of the road delivering rice and trucks queuing on the other side waiting to load up with milled rice.
Where should I put a thread "Where in the world are you combine harvesting today", it would be very interesting if we got some pics of combines working from around the Globe, harvesting different crops as well as the common wheat and barley , even if it was one or two pics a month.
