Gee...nice wagons! You should see the rusty old boxes I have around here. Bent up wheels that raise and lower a door that bears a lot of resemblance to a guillotine. Mine get the job done but if you want to loan me one of yours I promise to bring it back when I am done with it.
 
Nice pics - but I see too much trash piled up in front of the cab that is definately a fire hazard. There are pics on this forum quite often of burned combines. Keeping combustible trash swept or blown away will reduce the fire hazard. There are cordless leaf blowers available that will blow that trash away while the hopper is being emptied.
 
We clean it every night but as far as cleaning the chaff on the throat your kidding right? You can blow it off every 2 minutes and when you get to the end of the rows it will look like that again. I'm more concerned with keeping the head in the corn. That's what pays the bills. If it is gonna catch fire i would give anything for it to be on The throat cause you could see the and get it put out instead of being behind you where you can't see until it's blazing
 
Man that does our harvesting (and most other operators I have ever been around) blows the whole machine off every night with a leaf blower. The stalks on the throat will accumulate quickly. It's not practical to clean that off everytime it builds up.

The crew picking cotton on a farm near us had one man with a broom that swept down the machine every time they got to his end of the field, whether they were dumping the basket or not.
 
Good lookin outfit. Been plenty wet up in N IN too, been fighting the mud. Put a mud hog on 3 wks ago, I had enough
 
A good practice in cotton, but not real practical if you plan on getting much done in a day. But you're still not going to get a combine fire from stalks building up on the feeder house. And if you do, that's what insurance is for!
