Well just thought id share common sense really, the locks timberwolf supply are at best crap :D

 

Simple solution drill the lock holes bigger i went 7-10mm and now put a much bigger lock and it works fine alot harder to snip through. For when attached to the truck

 

Also D lock the tow bar with a high grade cable chain. Side bonus if you leave the chipper onsite whilst tipping a long chain goes round things :)

 

Just my 2p's worth :)

Just been checking out similar things.

Theres a company that makes chains with 19mm thick links which are guaranteed to resist cutting with 42 inch bolt croppers (even when levered on the ground).

They aint cheap but they slow the barstuards down or even stop them.

What are they called? I brought a bike chain and lock a few years back that is as far as I know is still unbreakable to a point I guess. Cost me over £200 for the chain alone I think, it's 19mm and seriously heavy duty.
