Off to a bad start

[Anonymous-0]

Was coming home from the grandson's spring concert tonight and sitting in a farmers driveway was a burnt out tractor. It had duals and was a front wheel assist. I didn't have a camera along or I would have gotten some pics. At first I thought it was a JD but the hood wasn't melted and it looked like it could have been an older White model maybe. Was toast anyway. Bad way to have to start the farm year out.

Neighboring dairy farm had a scare two weeks back.

Saw smoke coming from their machinery shed; called in a structure fire to 911. One of the ACs with a front end loader was sitting in there on the battery charger had caught on fire.

They managed to get the tractor chained up to another tractor they had out already, and dragged out of the shed where the fire company made short work of extinguishing it. One of the farmers did end up going up to the ER in an ambulance to get checked out for smoke inhalation.

If no one had been looking over at the shed for a few more minutes...
