Farmer talk

You definitely can yourself. I forget where exactly. ( dad just did his as he upgraded b4 start of yr ) Any competent jd mechanic should be able to walk you thru or where it is

All these newer ones burning why doesn’t someone want to buy the 9770 we have for sale.
Need a operator and I’d buy header and run 4 since not selling

You think the new ones are worse for fires? I’m thrilled that the s670 fuel tank is metal.

Maybe they have the fire issues ironed out on these.

sweet give us a review!

 

[snopro]

Surprised they went back to the cooling vent instead of the bubble shroud that on the STS and S models? Plugged rads again?

 

[MK4TDI]

sweet give us a review!

Buddy of mine sent me that today, he said they still catch on fire from time to time.

For $950k I would hope so.

With JD's track record on using parts from china I wouldn't hold my breath. I know a few mechanics at servus out here, none of them run the newer JD combines on their farms.

Yes they are if the fan isn’t turned up. It’s a bulletin from Deere. Dealers know about it but sometimes the odd one slips thru.

I hope that isn't your Deere?

Sorry to see your loss, almost was the same thing here, day it hit 37c and 40k winds.. with in minutes of going up.. exhaust canister for def has dust ambers that fall to straw under it, took us 6 hrs to keep from ignition, fires poping up all over, stress full day

Nephew had a small fire last night on lentils at about midnight. Lucky they stopped for fuel and smelt the straw burning on the exhaust. Just pure luck

That's why both of my combines got deleted.

Do they remove the big canister on a delete?, I have def be gone on it but canister is still there, heard of four other 40
Series with similar fire problems

No but my egt's came way down.
You can put your hand on the outside of the canister now.

Hoots had one burn up here a couple days ago.

Deer has a problem almost as big as the 850 belt debacle.

 

[Cdnfireman]

What’s the hay situation like this year? Lots of supply or gonna be shortages out there?

 

[snopro]

Gotta be lots I'm thinking with all the rain in the province this year. Some of the northern stuff may be poor quality

One went down just northwest of Lethbridge 2 or 3 days ago.

And it was a green one.

Bumper crop in central, neighbor has 400 spare bales he can't give away.

 

[snopro]

Red ones starting fires in our area as well. I think they will all burn up no matter the color. Anything new that has emission crap on them will start a fire if the conditions are right.

Well last day of cleaning up slu holes for 2020 and first trucks show up for 2020 lentil crop, let India have some good lentil cdn soup on me..
