Paul is gonna get Jason's left hand of fellowship if Paul is not careful!

sounds like someone might be looking for a new insurance company after all those claims.

If it's one of the new pickers I don't know if $140K would get close. I've seen pickers on fire before, and I have seen modules burn. One of those seeds gets good and hot and starts to smolder and it could burst into flames several days after it's picked (modules that is). Hopefully he was all paid up and insurance will pay off quick. There is mucho cotton still in the fields around Beasley.

nope....contrary to what you see on TV and newspaper not all insurance companies ditch you over legitimate claims. It happens. No rate increase(not a rate increase structure on house policies like auto other than lose claims free disc.) or anything...

He has had probably over 20 claims in last few years, none near this, but he also pays good premium and been very long time customer.

Is it a cotton combine

That was my guess too

yep...this one was drop in bucket compared to newest one. He is about to add one that is like 450,000 plus. That one would hurt.

Best he can tell this is cause from a hydrolic line popping in or near hyrdrostatic tranny.... worker hear pop and got off, grabbed fire ext. and then another pop and it was rolling....

[big_smith]

Was it one of the new pickets that spits out the round bales? Those are cool machines. Nothing compared to the old 2 row open cab I ran in hs though.

[TexAg14]

A new 7760. Those are over $600000. Glad there is insurance!

[Brannon74]

cotton stripper not picker.

[Smart]

What that hail is a cotton combine?...

Is that like a frontloader plow?

[Howard]

there you go....I aint never messed w/ cotton so I knew combine wasnt right and he has several combines, I know what they are.

He is looking at the newest one that does it all..... maybe a little closer to getting one now. He has 2 and wanted 3...hes down to 1 now.

This dude has pages and pages of equipment and barns insured.

Now if it was about hay I could talk more about it than cotton....never been around cotton really

[Howard]

it was a John Deere 9986...is that better
