Heads up doing tractor work. We had a tractor burn to the ground planting fields this weekend. Almost set the woods on fire. Could’ve been put out if he’d had extinguisher. Would be a good idea to get one if you don’t have one.

Excellent suggestion. Cheap insurance for sure. Sorry to hear about your loss.

I had one catch fire due to a small diesel leak, only thing saved us was wet fields. We threw handfuls of wet dirt on the block and put it out.
I carry a fire extinguisher on mine now.
Great advise!

We got the white marine grade ones because if the mounting hardware can handle a boat running 30mph in three foot seas, it can handle a tractor.

Absolutely good advise. My brother nearly burned his backhoe to the ground a few years ago. Had to hand shovel field dirt to slow it down and then took off to get an extinguisher from his house 1/4 mile away to put it out. Lost a few hoses. He immediately went out and put extinguishers on all of his equipment.

Thanks for the heads up will be getting one, never gave it a thought

Mount

I’ve had this fire extinguisher mount on my tractor for years. Highly recommend

I caught a 10” bushhog on fire once and burned about 15 acres.

Cutting an overgrown field on a dry windy November day and weeds and grass built up on the bushhog about 1’ thick on top of the gear box that unbeknownst to me was running dry due to a leak and ultimately set the tinder on top of the bushhog on fire.

I carry a small one in both trucks. Just in case i come across vehicle fire along road

Just added one. Couple of years ago tractor started smoking bad. Rats had nested on top of the engine and gnawed a fuel line. Luckily it didnt catch fire but it was very close
