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

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.
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.
