[AT] late model Deere tractor fire discussion

[Cecil Bearden]

I think that was me.  The oil line to the turbo got chewed by a rat and 
it blew in the field.  It was pulling a 467 mega wide baler that I 
almost set on fire 2 night ago when the slip clutch kept slipping.  The 
clutch was red hot (glowing) and never gave an indication it was 
slipping.  Boss kept telling me you could feel it in the seat.  told him 
my butt was so tired that night that the command center had shut 
down....  Got my first experience with a hay tedder.  For such a mickey 
mouse looking contraption, it sure does a job of conditioning hay.  We 
had 30 acres of rained on hay and made nearly grade a hay out of it.  It 
had been rained on for 2 weeks.
