Sorry about the loss of material/equipment. I've seen almost spontaneous combustion within hay balers before, either from sparks or just the intense heat generated by packing semi-dry grass through a piece of high-friction equipment already nearly superheated from atmospheric conditions. My Dad died in 2002 when his "underbrush burnoff pile" got away from him in the wind~ he passed from a massive coronary trying to get enough water hose on the tractor to fight it himself. We got back from the hospital/morgue hours after he was pronounced DOA, & a couple of the big round bales he & his bird-hunting buddies had used as blinds were still burning. Sure do miss that old man. CALL 911 & Fire/Rescue when a "controlled burn" gets out of hand~!!! Dang. Sorry about the loss of material/equipment.
