Preventing Theft and Damage to Field Equipment: Effective Overnight Strategies
Edmonton, AB|Apr 25, 2024
Looking for ideas on how to protect equipment parked in the field overnight from theft or damage. Fuel was siphoned out of our 4wd tractor last night & the tool box was emptied.

Talked to a farmer once who set up an solar powered electric fencer…
Hopefully locks on caps and tool boxes will work!

Locking fuel caps, locked tool boxes, I like the game camera idea. Best bet is to take as much with you when you leave overnight. Or make it as difficult as possible to get taken advantage of (parking stuff next to trees buildings etc)
Motion activated lights deter a bunch too.
The overboard way would be to weld thick brackets over your fuel caps and also weld heavy duty straps around your tool boxes. Yet everything’s is susceptible to cutting wheels still.
I hate to say it but when there’s a will there’s a way.

Cellular game cam if you have data coverage.
