tractor and quad security

[shavey]

most john deere new holland tractors and various quads utility vehicles have little security as a neighbour found out recently after he left it in a field near the farm he said it was locked up i told him that is a total waste of time

 

because each brand has one key fits all door locks and ignition when you pay anything from £20,000 up to £100,000 for a tractor

 

dont you think each vehicle at that pricetag should have individual keys and ignition security even an old austin allegro or a metro has better security not that they need it :thumbup:

I'm sure some tractors have coded keys. I know that our Valtras have their own door lock keys. Down side if you stick one in the other enough times and turn they do eventually work.

 

I think that a code system similar to diggers would be good for tractors. Although a padlock on the battery isolator switch is also very effective.
