For instance:
• Don't leave the keys in the ignition and lock cabs at night
• Put the tractor or handler out of sight in a locked barn when it's not being used
• Be wary of storing important kit in barns near a footpath
• Chain kit to stanchions in the barn or another implement (but don't forget to remove the chain when you come to get in the tractor the next morning)
• Buy half a dozen geese and let them wander about the farmyard. Much more effective than a dog at making a noise
• Think about the possibility of a motorised gate to deter potential thieves. Not a cheap option, though the Agriwheel allows you to motorise an existing gate.
• Look at driveway alarm options. These can work on PIR detectors, rubber hose alarms across the road or even vibration sensing wires buried alongside tracks. All are now available as wireless options, so no need to dig lots of trenches. For security options for your home and farm buildings, check Home Security Bargains. You will find a large selections of motion lights, alarms, and many other security options to keep your family and property safe.
• Be extra careful about leaving tractors in fields overnight. It's tempting if the field is a long way from base but if you do, make sure it's as hidden as possible.

Secure your shed

Hiding tractors away in closed shed might be a nice idea, but many machinery sheds have open bays that are visible to all. Even if you do put them away in a closed building, repeatedly opening and closing traditional manual sliding doors gets tedious.
A more realistic option may be security lights that are motion sensitive or an alarm that is triggered in the same way. Usually the noise and/or lights will scare all but the most determined thief. For a little more you can install a more sophisticated alarm system. Visit Home Security Bargains to learn more about home security and explore the many options available.
