Preparedness in the event of fire, and a fire at my place

[caikgoch]

There is a very different design philosophy.   Old tractors were made massively heavy because you needed the weight.   Mine are all loaded on top of multi inch thick cast iron everything.   New tractors are not rebuildable because the engine has to made of thin iron to warm up within the federally mandated time to meet emissions.    When brute force is the desired result, I'll go with big, ugly, and heavy.
