Got a link?I find the above “harvest around the world calendar”interesting.
Combines working around the world all year round, it certainly takes us out of our narrow minded little world thinking only of harvest in the Uk.
Got a link?
Did yhey manage to save it?That was a local machine here
There is no way they were saving that combine. It was probably completely engulfed in flame 60 seconds after that photo!Did yhey manage to save it?
I thought you had fire fighting gear On site at all times?
Uk fires usually start at the backThere is no way they were saving that combine. It was probably completely engulfed in flame 60 seconds after that photo!
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.Uk fires usually start at the back
More likely a spark off the knife or a failed bearing on headerI 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.
Got to watch for chaff build up on the gearbox. Quite common apparently.More likely a spark off the knife or a failed bearing on header
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.Got to watch for chaff build up on the gearbox. Quite common apparently.

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
Yes, looks like it, bit disappointing really.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.
Pictures section probably best.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.
