Good point. I'm delaying a decision to obtain a couple of extinguishers about 2 years already :mur:

I can see the value of having a fire extinguisher at the ready. I work in wooded and brushy areas. Any one have any problems with getting caught in the brush and have an inadvertent discharge? I am thinking of the BX24 fans that get damaged and wonder about how to keep something similar from happening to a fire extinguisher.

Take Care,

ROPS mount here. I only buy QUALITY with good HD mounts.

Here's a good small one with a real good mount for a good price.

yep.. you want a good positive holder with a neck cradle, and a snap open body strap.. the lil flimsy ones won't hold up as well on an ATV like a tractor....

One thing that's very important is having an extinguisher big enough to put the fire out totally.

Just saying...

How big is the fire? How big does it take to put out a 100ac field?

Mine is mounted on the Rops also, but not exactly. It is sitting in a piece of PVC pipe with a cap on the bottom that is long enough to protect it from most everything.(except a rollover? ?)
