Obviously a total loss - People at Minor's Store said the popping of the tires on the other side of the tractor could be hear from quite a ways off. Chief Dean Potter said that the tires were filled with chloride, which also could have been a dangerous situation. Would have been a better photo from the other side, had I had on some boots to go through the manure & mud.
