North End I-15 | Custom cutter had his combine catch on fire yesterday . fire started @ computer above the fuel tank. Lucky I had 400 gal water in sprayer sitting in field. This is the 2 nd on of his to go in the past few days. The first one they caught be for it did more than toast the computer and wire harmess. This fire got the fuel tank also . Burned a basket ball sized hole through the rear shield , burnt paint off the unload auger.
Walt called JD Tech support and they said his made # 5 for the day in this local area. 97 degrees and 10% humidity . Got down to 36 degrees last night , currently 53 . fire smoke from the Rockies is worst than I have seen here . Visibility was down to about 3 miles as sun set. Normal vision here is unlimited.
Will try to get pictures today . Neighbors 9650 burned last year , over $20,000 in damage . It caught on fire again this year. Different spot . Up behind and on top of rotor. JD has a problem ........... | |
