there is a very good tracker available at reasonable costs you can even fit one version that has been designed for trailers etc with no battery.

Your local ag dealers should be marketing it. Or arb dealers if they have an account with Kramp. Kramp are the sole uk distributors for the Farm Alert trackers, there is all sorts of different possibilities for the fitting. I do have the costings for them at work but can't remember them at present.

I've read a few forums about trackers and have seen a few comments that they can be blocked/ over ridden, but not sure if this is true or how it's done?

 

When we were looking into these I done a fair bit of research, this is some of what I found out about them.

GPS can be blocked fairly easily and cheaply apparently you could get the blockers from maplins, VHF is a lot harder and requires some pretty serious kit.

 

Also GPS can be pin pointed making it easier to find on the machine, VHF puts you in the rough vicinity ie: it's in this yard somewhere but you can't pin point it.

 

They are a bit of a minefield but like most things I think you get what you pay for.

My brothers firm had 2 new 360 diggers stolen off site that had GPS trackers fitted.

That's good to know.... seems VHF is the way to go, i guess?
