Unless of course you passed a driving test in another country where it's common practice to sit in any lane of the motorway, even when the lane to your left is empty, pass on the left side of other vehicles and ignore "give way" lines on roundabouts.
Not good. Any idea of the cause
Not sure. Started under the cab below windscreen. Electrical of debris got hot.
Never seems to happen to the ones you’d be happy to see go up in smoke
That's a shame. Out of curiosity, did you have an extinguisher onboard? If so what size/type?

We had a puma175 go up 4 years ago, by the time you realise what is happening it's too late to use any size of fire extinguisher that you can safely carry on a tractor, couldn't be believe how quick it went from that smells funny to oh 5hit it's on fire to the cab being engulfed in flames
best just to grab any valuables you may have with you and call 999Attachments

Had a combine go up a few years back
Not worth the risk of trying to get near with extinguisher.
Not that it would have done any good anyway.
Also
Don`t think your supposed to use them without training ( might be wrong there though)

Would agree. If a fire has progressed to the point you have serious flames then you're best off well away from a machine sat on 4 tyres ready to go pop and filled with diesel and hydraulic oil.

What l meant is how the mower's drawbar got to to be the inside of the wheel without damaging the either the wheel or tyre.

to be fair im sure if i drove around the same corner as the jd owner did even on a 30k tractor flat out i would have rolled that trailer,
its just to many bell end drivers... with to little experience or arrogance.
Breaker told me bird nests are the main cause in these tractors, gap at windscreen provides easy access.
