Sounds like the Walker Brothers back when round bales were new in the late 70s,early 80s. They were hauling from the field on an open wheeled trailer,no fenders. A bale was rubbing the tire and got hot evidently. They didn't notice,unloaded and burned up about 300 bales.
The people waving though reminds me of a story EJ Potter of tractor pulling fame told though. He was getting in to jet engines and had a theory that if you got one traveling 70 mph it would start. He had an old grain truck with a newer V8 in it that he thought would go that fast so he strapped the engine to the top of it. He went into town and got a guy who he knew would do favors for him without a lot of questions. They too it out on a long stretch of paved road and EJ told him when he hit 70,blow the horn. He had a hose dropped in to the gas tank of the truck. It just so happened that when he hit 70 and hit the horn,there was a tractor stopped at the end of the field with somebody on it and somebody else on the ground talking to him. Then everything happened at once. The guys heard the horn,looked up,EJ touched off the engine and the whole back of the truck went up in flames. The two guys in the field were waving their arms half off,the driver just thought they were waving because he blew the horn. EJ was climbing backwards up the corner of the grain box trying to get the hose out of the gas tank. Quite literally,all he11 broke loose.
So you see,it could be worse,and you could have caused it yourself!

For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
