Fire extinguisher

[Bob Ha]

Just purchased a $20 fire extinguisher to mount somewhere on my tractor. Cheap insurance policy that could save thousands. I was thinking of mounting it on the ROPS but not sure... any suggestions. Where does everyone else have theirs mounted?

I have two on mine.

The kind you would want for an electrical fire or a fuel fire is a dry charge. Powder and CO2. On your hay baler you might want a few water extinguishers.
Fire Extinguisher: 101

In winter weather would one of those things freeze up and render it useless?

Dry chems won't freeze! Although the powder may settle & pack due to vibration on a vehicle. Won't hurt to turn it upside down & shake it occasionally.

I mounted mine on the ROPS, clamped to the post with two straps & long bolts; ~~ grnspot110

A general purpose fire exinguisher that is rated to fight all three types of fires, wood and paper, electrical and flamable liquids is filled with a white powder and is pressurized with dry nitrogen. It will not freeze.

I mounted mine on the right side of the dash using large fender washers to give some backing strength to the plastic dash

Two BC extinguishers, one on each side of the tractor and a large ABC extinguisher on the gooseneck transport trailer.

Ditto for me. Works fine.
