Diesel Particles burn off systems causing the odd tractor fire?

[Pilatus]

I have recently heard of two tractors catching fire, and the cause is thought to be to doing with some thing happening when the particulates are being burnt off.The makes of tractor were a Case and a New Holland ( yes I know they are basically the same tractors).
Has the above been known to happen on other makes of tractors.

Yes I know of a massey 7719 that burnt down within a few months of ownership, was left doing a regen and next thing it caught fire and burnt right out.

Local contractor had a JD 6215r go up on regen

Is this just pub talk or is their evidence

I know the driver of a tractor it happened to .

Don’t worry, at least they’re ‘low particulate’ tractor fires. /s

We had this happen on a JD6215 last summer. Front topper on front. We used airline on it every morning. Every few months would take exhaust guards off to blow out. But the seat of the fire was around the injection point around the front of the cab under plates. Fire brigade here in under six minutes and saved most of the tractor. It's taken six months to get back and still throwing up fault codes. Would have been easier for it to burn out the tractor.

Usually the case and not just tractors.

And

A burnt out tractor

The fumes given off these tractor fires will be much more damaging to the environment than the exhaust particulates which were saved by the dpf filters that started the fire

 

[Speedstar]

In most of these cases these tractors had the fuel filter change before the Regen diesel all over the place then get some heat in the and you get a fire

 

[milkloss]

I get the particulate problem as you drive past a school but do they persist enough in the middle of a field to cause a problem? Has there been reasonable cost:benefit analysis performed on an environmental basis as much as economic?

 

[Lazy Sod]

Perhaps tractors and other vehicles that have a DPFs should be equipped with spark arrestors in the exhaust system.

We will get to a point where all this stupid unnecessary technology will be like a ball and chain.

Think we are pretty well there.

 

[Highway star]

The trouble is ,no matter how hard you try keeping these things clean there's always a stray bit of straw or grass bound to get wedged in there, and the temperatures these things get up to to burn the particulates out are anywhere from 800° + Then alot of manufactures install them under the cab so as not to impair vision,so if there is the starting of a fire when sitting on the seat it's difficult to see & often to late to intercept it

What we're the model numbers of the nh and case?

 

[roscoe erf]

A burnt out tractor

It’s not evidence it’s hearsay

 

[Pilatus]

What we're the model numbers of the nh and case?

I just asked a simple question, and some have kindly answered , I will leave it at that.
