“I’ve been here since almost the beginning, so most of you know my family does farming. Freak accidents happen for no reason. This one beats anything I’ve ever saw.
Steering rod on the combine broke so was hard to steer. But it has left and right brakes, so my son was able to maneuver it out of the field, over to the side, so the others could go by.
I went home to get parts, and just as I’m pulling up, I hear the loudest explosion I’ve ever heard. The front tire on the combine blew up. My sons truck was sitting next to it maybe 10ft away. Blew out all 4 side windows plus the windshield and set off 6 airbags. Blew in both passenger doors so hard the inside panels were tore off. Nothing touched to doors, just concussion.
I can’t believe anyone wasn’t standing there. They would’ve been killed instantly. Thank you lord for looking over us today.”
What caused that? That tire should not have that much pressure in it. the brakes get hot from driving with them, causing heat to build pressure? Yikes.
