My BIL was plowing with his 8070 AC MFW when he got stuck. He called my nephew and told him to bring another tractor to get him out. He then got out of the cab and hooked up a chain so it would be ready when my nephew got the. He noticed smoke coming from under the hood, called 911 and shut the tractor off. It took the local volunteer fire department 14 minutes according to my BIL's cell phone to arrive, By then the fire was already burning itself out. This was on Wen. The insurance adjuster was there on Fri, has determined it's a total loss and will tell my BIL and nephew how much they are getting a check for tomorrow. Thankfully no one was injured.
I just chopped with that tractor last Fri and Sat to help them out some. Real glad I wasn't operating it when it burned!
The white stuff is snow, not foam.
