I hired a farm tractor owner to disc 2.7 acres of land I own up north. He gave me a telephone bid then revised the bid when he visited he sight. While discing the property he ran over a small tree stump that had been cut at an angle. This penetrated his tire. He had to replace the tire at a cost of over $600. He wants me to reimburse him for the tire in addition to the work he completed. He filed a small claims case when I refused. Am I responsible for his tractor tire?
