[QUOTE="kb5iod, post: 389480, member: 3302"] One thing that might be a problem with this is the tractor will be needed to provide the 12 volts. Its a tough call to decide whether to fight the fire or start unhooking the tractor to get it out of the way. I almost lost a tractor a few years ago trying to save the baler. Once the fire hit the loose hay riding around the belts it was over. By the time I started unhooking flames were shooting in the air. It gets pretty hot between the baler and tractor. Finally got the PTO to come off, pulled the pin and drove out from under the whole mess. Remember that hoses and tires will start bursting so at some point it is best to back away and wait on the VFD. [/QUOTE]
