00:00:00 Hey guys, it's temple. We, we got done running this combine all day, and here's something that's really cool. 00:00:05 I thought that it's, it's, it's kind of neat because in our area last year, just in wheat alone, there was like seven or eight combines that caught off fire 00:00:12 and multiple field fires. But let me show you why some of this things happened. So on this particular combine, we, 00:00:20 they wrap the turbocharger, they wrap all of the, the exhaust manifold and all of the heat, the really hot 00:00:26 elements, they're wrapped. So when you wrap those things, you know, when you have just a piece of dust that comes 00:00:31 and lands on the turbocharger and it immediately shoots a spark. And everything about this thing is small dust, 00:00:38 which is really combustible. I know we have a lot of combine fires because of bearings, but this is one the thing that kind 00:00:44 of alleviates a little bit of a problem. I'm not saying it's gonna solve it, but what I'm saying is, is they're taking extra measures 25 00:00:50.285 --> 00:00:52.365
