Re: LIGHTNING STRIKE AFX8010

Lightning is such a powerful thing, huh?
A few years ago, my neighbor's JD 8760 tractor was struck. The strike did a real number on it! I would not have believed it if I had not seen it for myself; but all 8 tires were "melted" to the ground! The tractor was hooked to a plow, though, and the plow was let down on the ground..I guess that is why the tires got it so bad...There were a lot of electical componets in the tractor that got fried. Anyway, it was a bad deal..
