[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 389242, member: 1604"] You folks running hay balers be sure to have an extinguisher on board and instruct the operator what to do in case of a fire. One of my neighbors ( I won't call his name but he is related to a regular on this board) was letting his wife finish baling a field of hay while he went to cut another pasture nearby. Anyway, the baler caught on fire, she paniced big time, cracked the baler open and got off the tractor without kicking the bale out. She said it was too hot to drop the baler and burnt up a $90,000.00 JD tractor (2 years old) and a new 567 JD baler. All they could do was stand there and watch them burn and the only part salvageable was the hay spear that was mounted on the tractor loader. We'll see how well that JD insurance works now............ This is the 4th baler fire within 20 miles of me this year. Be careful, and be prepared........................ [/QUOTE]
