Might have been a spark or a cigarette, good you got out and no harm to you and others. I've never found a hot bale in winter, they usually mold up and feel like a brick sometimes, though I've found warm ones soon after baling. Hopefully you can get the truck repaired.
When I was a kid, I remember my farmer/friend used to do 20,000 plus bales, some of the hay ground was several miles away and they used to stack the wagons, tow in tandem, some smart@ss tossed a cigarette from a car, and they caught on fire, he had to roll both of them off the road into the ditch and watch em burn, not much left except the running gear without tires. Not sure how they figured it was a cigarette, would have to ask him. Thats a mean thing to do, and being short on wagons when you do that amount of hay certainly hits below the belt.
