A friend of mine just had a fire on their new 9660 this year and it has less than 200 hrs on it! He said they put it out quick enough but it started from the dust and chaff building up underneath the turbo which caught fire and then fell down into the shielding. He also said it is really a fire trap when that happens because there is so many places that straw can hang up on the combine.
