Fire extinguisher.

[pgmrdan]

Where and how do you guys mount your fire extinguisher on your tractor?

Used three square u-bolts to attach to ROPS.

Put mine on the factory bracket on the back of seat.

Fire extinguisher ? ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,I don't even know what I did with my extinguisher after the last time I used it.

Check the nozzles periodically, around here the mud daubers love to use them/plug them up.

What is this quick detach fixture???

I have Kubota insurance.

Yup. I have one to keep other things around from going up. But if the orange machine goes up, let it burn. KTAC for the win.

There are many roll bar fire extinguisher mounts made of nylon webbing and Velcro sold on Amazon. I bought one a couple of years ago and mounted to the ROPS. It was cheap and took less than a minute to mount it. Of course it can also be easily moved. It has stayed attached and never fallen off.

Used one of their mounts for a fire extinguisher in the trunk of the Honda Ridgeline. Had to buy little bigger hose clamp to fit my extinguisher.

Would caution to use all metal handle and valve on any vehicle fire extinguisher.

How much does KTAC cost per year?
It only covers your tractor!

Don't know offhand. Don't care really. I would rather let K deal with the burned tractor and not have to deal with my homeowners insurance over a forest, house or shop fire. I'll save everything else BEFORE the tractor. Same goes for the truck, car, toy hauler, ATVs, motorcycles, etc

As a person who has had to actually use a fire extinguisher on multiple occasions…I can only suggest that folks buy good quality (not plastic crap and nozzles) that are 10lbs or more. Also, there are compounds you can get that will not ruin your electronics if discharged.

Good point. Little extinguishers are not much use except to possibly escape a situation. 5ers are an absolute minimum. 10s are more realistic for anything with fuel and oil. That's what is required in the pit for racing. If a bike catches fire, sometimes one is not enough.
My choice is halon or CO2 for a few reasons. Electric and electronics is one of them. Dry Chem will slowly eat your electrical system connections and unprotected (sealed) electronics.

It's free, cause they roll it in with the 0% financing.
