[QUOTE="ironpeddler, post: 89687, member: 1530"] When a bearing goes out, which can happen on any make if the baler has and auto oiler or the owner has used oil then the hay that is oil-soaked residue on the baler will work as an accelerant. The fire burns hotter and possible igniting any rubber products or hydraulic hoses. If one uses a dry lubricant like a chain lube the fire if any does not burn hot enough to damage the baler. Of course you would need to dump the bale so the bale would not fuel the fire. We started changing most of our customers from oil to chain lube in 1990. The damaging baler fires have gone to nothing. When I say this it means something. We have sold 1000+ new round balers in the last 15 years and close to 700 used round balers. [/QUOTE]
