Angry Tractor Caught On Fire Today....

The tractor was out baling straw when it caught on fire. Got it out of the field before it started anything on fire. The damage isnt to bad but the tractor is still goin to be down for a while. the dealership is lettin us rent another tractor for half price so the baler can keep goin. Here's some pics. The tractor is a Mx255

What started that? That sucks, at least it didn't burn all the way up and catch the field on fire though.

I've seen a lot of combines burn up from the dust catching on fire

Man that sucks.
Kudos to the driver though...

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "red hot"
