[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 658508, member: 9198"] I agree with Dun, pulling the pin out of the drawbar is quick and easy. Don't even worry about the hydraulic lines (mine are breakaway). Pull the pin and drive off, let the tonque of the baler drop on the ground. I've had one baler fire but caught it quick and was able to kick the bale out, put out the residual fire in the bale chamber and was even able to put the bale fire out. I lost a floor chain bearing and just happened to be looking back at the baler as I was making a turn and saw a wisp of smoke. OK, so I was lucky but 1) carry a fire extinguisher, 2) be observant and 3) react quickly. I'm not so sure that a fire extinguisher would be effective on a fully engaged baler fire but you need to carry one anyway. Carry insurance. I haven't in the past but with a new baler I'm going to look into it for this season. I understand it's pretty cheap but we'll see. [/QUOTE]
