We run a draper header but have never been shocked before. Static electricity is really annoying when it starts your combine on fire. We were cutting wheat in 100 degree heat. Fine dust collected all over the combine. Static electricity ignited the dust. There was only a few actual flames but the whole combine from the engine room back was smoldering. Burnt up some wire but that was it. Some stubble caught on fire and we ended up calling out the fire department. I spotted the smoke from the combine I was driving. The Case combines in my area are notorious for starting stubble fires. The rotor creates static electricity that starts the dust collecting on the machine on fire.
