[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 7058195, member: 71668"] Err, we have much hotter & drier harvest conditions than you lot could EVER imagine . . . I have NEVER heard of Claas machines being particularly fire prone In my own personal experience, most fires I have heard of have been JD, apart from one Case, & a NH ( but the NH was an insurance job ). That’s down to the fact that here, JD are the most popular As [USER=6]@Clive[/USER] says, it stands to reason that most fires are in the most popular / highest number machines. Fires are down to operators, maintenance & clean down procedures ( here, everyone has big air compressors for blowing down daily or more frequently if needed, & water / fire fighting carts in the paddock at harvest. You ought to try harvesting chickpeas in 40 + C temps & 10 % or less humidity . . . Static electricity causes spot fires on vertical body work just from the dust . . . I have no brand loyalty in any fashion, as I have always used contractors for my harvesting, but the idea that Lexions are somehow more fire prone is just complete & utter small minded, small dîck bullshît That certainly hasn’t been the experience here - in a much more fire prone, extreme, hotter & drier environment . . . We just know how to prevent fires in the first place . . . [/QUOTE]
