Burnt Combine Cleanup 😁

** It's combine cleanup time! Let's tear this thing into little pieces and have some fun while doing it! 😁🤣
** This was a Fendt Ideal 9 combine that burnt to the ground last fall (2020) in my opinion and also the fire inspectors opinion, was caused by the right hand gear box failure.
** You can watch the whole combine burn down on my video last fall, thankfully no one was hurt 🙂

Not going to lie, that operator has the patience of a saint. I'd have already yelled at you about 1000 times for walking up on my blind sides.

It's amazing how even these new combines, when stripped down to the core with all the fancy styling and guarding gone, still look largely the same as all combines for the last 70 years.

[@mytech6779]

When cutting the axles was mentioned I was expecting a torch. Much faster and more adaptable to odd shapes and spaces than the abrasive saw, especially for demolition.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Should imagine it would be safer too - no spinning abrasive disc kickback to worry about, or indeed the disc exploding in your face ! Gas torch would give better accessibility and much less weight to try and control - that cutter must weigh a fair bit.

[@philscott6827]

It’s surprising how strong the combine is and how difficult it was to disassemble it.

[@richschmidt5694]

If they could only make the rotor shear pins hold that tough

[@randommaniac245]

Well,with the proper cutter for digger it would have been so much easier.

[@jhonsiders6077]

Needed a shear been better than just the thumb

[@florianix8272]

I actually thought the opposite, how easy it was to disassemble a machine this heavy and this strong built

[@florianix8272]

Also, wenn it's burnt down and the plastic panels are gone, it's just a metal brick and looks very familiar to older harvesters. The technology stayed mostly the same, only the size changed

[@faisaliqbal6744]

Hey Mike, I had this strange vision, Kevin Costner in the middle of nowhere (Sea of grass) dancing with the wolves, while in the back ground this operation of cleanup of burnt Ideal 9 is taking space. Just surreal !!!

[@liberalpatriot6650]

I was surprised that he did not bring a torch with him to take the combine apart. I watched four guys take a Cat D8 tractor apart in about two hours with a couple of oxy-acetylene torches.

Unfortunately; very sad :-(((( About MAN: one of MAN's three original companies was Maschinenfabrik Augsburg, where Rudolf Diesel developed the Diesel engine from 1893 to 1897. Later, tractors were also built under the name "Ackerdiesel" ("Acre Diesel") from 1921 to 1962.

Considering a Fendt Ideal 9T costs about 400.000 Euro (about 580.000 CAD) im surprised how easy you took it to see the combine burning down and how cool you have been all the time, even making jokes. I'll guess it was covered by insurance and I don't know how long ir would take till they pay. Here in Germany I would have been very concerned cause insurance companies try everything to delay payment and you might wait a year or more ... I hope you got your combine replaced snd don't lost to much money. Thanks for your videos and my best wishes for 2022 and a happy new year
