Re burnt N7 The fire was started by the main power lead from the battery earthing out as it goes through the plastic covered steel securing loop. This is situated over the top of the hydraulic oil cooling lines right in front of you when you climb up the access ladder on your right side. The power lead burnt through the high pressure line, igniting the hot oil on the way through. The time it took was approx three minutes for the engine bay to be engulfed in flame. Yes I did loose electrics in the cab initially, but thought it was a main fuse or a main wire, not a dead short!! Fire extinguishers were on hand but proved futile as one could not open the engine bay because of heat. The rest is history, just one more thing to put on this years check list before harvest, providing we get some rain...
