Bush hog setup

[MossyDell]

To all that bush hog-especially those in dry conditions:
I have been in the business 30+ years, running all sorts of field mowers from 5' to 15' on tractors from 25 to 225HP.
Last week, I was mowing in a dry area with a 15' mower around a few rocks and struck one. Sparks flew and ignited a small area of dry grass.
Luckily I was carrying a water extinguisher on the tractor. I did NOT need to deploy it. I was able to stomp it out pretty easy.

Carry a fire extinguisher. Preferably a water type and a ABC type. Cheap insurance. I'm glad I had it should things have gotten out of control.

I keep a 10lb ABC in the cab, too.

Very thoughtful rig! Not sure where you are located and that would be interesting to know. Here is SW VA it is already as dry as July. I have seen only four measurable rains in my gauge here since February! And the big one was only 3/4". Actually last night we got our fifth but only 1/4" and that's not much. Typically I don't record less than 1/2". May have to change that. I think dew must have been keeping things going but our temps are climbing . . .
