My uncle had a shed fire last night and lost his 8070 and 160. At least no one and no animals were hurt. Some equipment and feed were lost. We just celebrated as a century farm there two weeks ago.

Had a tornado rip though north of here. it took the farmer 1/2 hr to 'see' one of his shed was 'missing' !

Sorry to hear hopefully he was insured. If he was insured remind him they were full of fuel.

I'm very sorry to hear that. My equipment is a big source of pride second to my family and country. Thankfully no one got hurt.

They are not sure of the cause of the fire at this point. It was not any hot hay as that was all in there for a couple of weeks and fire started on the other side of building. The farm has almost always been all AC until the last few years when two Fords were added. I am not sure what he will replace the 8070 FWA with.
