Had a Baltimoron who bought a farm out this way, engineer who was going to make a killing with organic farming. He bought an old 5-star, a baler and mower, rake and wagons, etc. Got one of his first crops cut and raked. He was baling and one of the bearings on the thrower went out and started throwing sparks. But it was still running, so he kept baling until the load was done. He was at the far end of the field from the barn, so he turned around and headed home. He could have gone across the field, but the road was right next to where he ended up, so he threw the baler, and took the load out onto the road. It was just about that time someone hollered at him that his load was smoking. Being smart is what an engineer is, so he pulled the rig just off the road and unhitched the wagon. Then he hauled a$$ to the house and called the fire company, which got out about fifteen minutes after he found out he had a problem. Not in time to save the load or wagon. Or the telephone cables he parked the load under. I don't know how much his load or wagon was worth, but the repair to the phone lines was about $18,000.
