I have had a small fire extinguisher beside the seat on my Farmall 400 for quite awhile.. I always tell myself I need to tie that down... as a matter of fact that EXACT thought went through my mind as I fired her up today. I hooked on to my mower (you can see it coming cantcha?) and go tooling around knocking out some tall weeds. I was going through a small stand and boom kablaam white smoke everywhere... I thought for sure I had blew up the gearbox somehow or a tire was on fire... nope...

Saw what was left of the fire extinguisher a little ways away. If it hadn't been for the very tall weeds (4 footers and thick) I don't know HOW far that thing woulda flown.

Luckily I have a spare... hmmm wonder if I should tie it down. lmao
 
When my shop burned 2 months ago, I had three 5 lb abc extinguishers in it. One got so hot it exploded but didn't put out the fire. I believe my four wheeler started the fire. Lost every thing in the shop. Did have replacement value insurance though. Rick in Texas
 
I"ve installed some and will install more of the automatic water sprinkler type here.
In Texas they won"t likely freeze but here in some places they have to be either shut down for the winter or wrapped with heat trace cable.
