Guy that works for us came home with the 648NH baler today and in my mind he's abit of a hero.Bearing went on the top drive roller and the baler caught fire.He wasted no time jumping out,grabbing the water filled fire extinguisher and putting it out before any serious damage occured.Was in a field of straw behind a farm homestead.Could have been terrible had he not known exactly what to do.He was praised for it too.

Give that man a raise!!!! Seriously, not too many guys would know how to react.

I used to drive for my mom's cousin while he stacked on the wagons. He had 1 wagon he mafde out of a bus frme and it had problems with the steering. We were going down a bit of a hill when the steering broke and it swung out to the side and wanted to jackknife the whole rig and it probably would have messed up the baler. I just kept and eye on it and kept going to try staying in front of it. Got to the bottom of the hill and he said he was surprised I knew enough to keep going instead of stopping like most of his helpers would have done.

I think I was 12-14 at the time so that made it even better.

He gets and A+ for the day. Many accidents can be prevented if people know what they are doing and your helper did just that prevented what could have been a large problem.

Its nice to hear about accidents that have been prevented.
