I had my first fire in 35 years this year. Thankfully I had just dumped the bale and with no tension on the belts, the roller that lost a bearing and overheated caught the chaff grass....the little short stuff that lingers in the baler on fire. I just accidentally looked in my outside rearview mirror and the "dust" looked awfuly smokey. Took a better look and it was smoke. Put her in high gear and headed around the corner of the fence and to the shop where I had a hose and put it out before anything got burned but some chaff. I was just lucky I was about 20 yards from water when it happened even though I keep water onboard when baling.
That's the first time I lost a rounder roller and had 2 go bad this year. Kinda chaps me as I check them before I go out and keep my stuff well lubed, keep my stuff in a good state of repair and keep it out of the weather.
Never had a square fire. Course lots of differences in the parts of the balers that can cause that kind of a problem.
