On Sunday after mowing a field for a few hours my T5050 4x4 Cab (08 Model) with less than 200 Hrs was parked in a machinery shed. About 10 minutes after parked there was an explosion and a fire ignited in the cab by the steering column. We were unable to contain the fire and it burnt down the shed and destroyed multiple other pieces of equipment.
Looking for any other examples that may give me some answers or guide me in the right direction on what could have caused this....or anyone that may be able to give me some advice or know of other examples to assist me to find out if there are other New Hollands that caught on fire without explanation.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm sorry you lost your equipment and barn but am glad no one was injured. I think there are power steering lines in that area that if there was a slight leak would have fed a fire if one started. I would have to believe it was a build up of grass and other dusts from mowing that either were ignited by a spark from something or from the exhaust system. Hopefully they can find the exact cause for you though and that you were insured.
