Saw the first field of rape being cut along the trailway as i was mowing. Just typical i didnt have my camera with me as when i came back the field had gone but so had the combine. Nothing but a burnt shell of the combine and smouldering ash where the rape crop was.

Dust on the manifold ?

Not sure but it was running high on the revs as i drove by belching thick black smoke but it wasnt coming from the manifold more from the thresher/ chaff exit.

I've just been speaking to a mate of mine, he told me he saw a combine on fire in Sandwich in Kent today.

 

Not a good start to the Harvest!

Yeah I know the farmer in Kent, it's was a big farm and one of there tracked machines.

 

 

That's what you get when you don't clean them out after sitting in a barn all winter.

 

They are the farm that goe all night and work in shifts to get the job done.

Glad i cleaned one of the local estates fleet (2 New Holland CR9090, 3 CR 8000 and 2 TC5000). Spent two weeks cleaning that lot after last years harvest. Was a good laugh getting absolutely caked in dust from air lining them out then getting covered in muddy water when i was cleaning it with everything running.

Our flagship hay crop. The first time it has been hay cut properly for 2 years.
