I recently bought my first piece of equipment a Kubota kx71 mini excavator. I am using it for various projects around my timbered 20 acres. I wanted to post and ask about fire prevention since my searches did not turn up anything on this topic. Is it safe working in dry conditions? My exhaust system appears all original and in good condition. I assume a spark arrestor is in the system but do not see it. Possibly inside the muffler itself? I am carrying a shovel and extinguisher on the machine. I appreciate any advice you can provide.
