Keep moving the tractor and trailer to different park ups in the woods. Thieves often know your habits (or are told them), so make it hard to find.

Extend the boom and chain the grab to a tree, make sure if they do come they'll have to work for it.

 

I'd worry more about the tractor and trailer, they can drive those away.

Sleep next to them?

 

Make things as difficult as possible if you're elsewhere, and not sleeping well. As Toby said, be random. Park here and there, maybe elsewhere. Isolators for machine, putting 2 machines together and loading hydraulics, dig into mud, logs, thorn piles. Weld the nuts onto the bolts...
