[QUOTE="rmcva, post: 553467, member: 5473"] I have a 8430 that caught fire. It uses tractor hydraulics. I was lucky to have seen the smoke before the fire got out of control. I used my cap to beat the fire out. :lol: On this one the fire started on the V-belt for the pickup reel. There's an arm that takes tension off the belt when the chamber is full so it'll stop the reel and not over fill the baler. With wear that belt had stretched and started to slip before the chamber was full and caused the heat to build up and caused the fire. Since then I change that belt every 4 years and haven't had that problem again. [/QUOTE]
