I am guessing that a piece of farm equipment like that, even if not new, is worth well over a minimum of a Hundred Thousand dollars. I have never heard of farm equipment being insured, but maybe something of that value might be these days. A loss like that can be catastrophic to a farmer.

A hard days work and a big expense to replace farm equipment. Prayers to the Farmer and Farmers making a living cotton picking.

I think I was wrong. It was tractor or bulldozer that burnt up in a field on Tungoil Rd, and it happened about 5 years ago. My timer is messed up I guess. So sorry for the farmer this happened to. I hope he had insurance.

Didn’t this happen to a picker on Tungoil Road in Walnut Hill last year?
