They were called at around 11.10am, with teams from Baschurch and Ellesmere both heading to the scene.

Photos posted by the fire service show the badly-damaged shell of the fire-hit tractor, attached to a large roller.

They have used a jet to put out the blaze, with the tractor described as "fully involved in fire".
