Decided to up the ante a bit with my on board fire protection. Hay fires and baler fires are a REAL serious issue. Have water extinguishers on the balers. Now the tractors...
I prefer the 2.5G Badger-type stainless water extinguishers, but they are pretty expensive. Was looking around on Ebay last weekend and found a guy out of MA that reconditions, tests them and sells them at a more affordable cost. He also sells the mounts cheap. They arrived in 2 days. Mounted 2 on tractors already, have a few more to go. I keep the ABC type in the cabs, too for electrical/oil fires.
Anyone else have other mounting locations, or ideas? Heres the outside mount I did on 1 of the 3 today. I don’t know if I will keep the decal. A little large, but makes it easier for my guys to find in an emergency.
