Fire extinguisher on tractor

[AlbertC]

I was recently thinking what would happen if I am out on the field bushogging and my tractor (NH 3930) or bush hog were to catch on fire. The answer is it would burn up because I would have no way to put it out. It would probably be wise to get a fire extinguisher for the tractor. I could mount it on the ROPS bracket.

Does anyone have an extinguisher on their tractor? What size/type extinguisher did you get and where did you get it and how much did it cost? Where and how did you mount it to the tractor? Have you ever had to use it?

Thanks

I carry a 5 lb abc extinguisher in my cab, I think it's a 3a 40bc.
It was around $50 when I bought it, but prices are all over the page. Never needed one on my tractor, but I prefer being prepared.
From previous experiences with firefighting, they are fine for putting out small fires if caught soon enough.

I also have an ABC in my cab. It came with a mounting bracket. Bought at local box store, don't remember the price. Never had to use it but better safe than sorry.

I also carry a 5lb ABC extinguisher on my tractor. You never know when you may need one.

You can't beat a can if there's room for it !!!
I keep one in my house and garage, but not on the tractor.

I have one, need to get a better mount for it though. Now it just sits in my little toolbox. I was looking at it the other day and had noticed mud daubers filled the nozzle on it with mud. Keep an eye on your nozzle, doubt it will work very well clogged full of mud.

Big thing is to not be like most people, me included, mount it and forget it or ever check it beyond walking by it. I have had two, one in the house and one in the garage, that the gauge was showing proper pressure but when tried to use them nothing came out. The powder had apparently packed or solidified to the point nothing would come out. Don't know if it helps but I now at least try to flip em', shake em' a little every now and again.

I would image that about 90% of the ABC extinguishers are settled and useless.........Just guessing.???

Built custom mounts for both tractors - each has a 5lb extinguisher riding on a fender.
