mines a satrack system, runs on gps n vodafone sim, accurate gps coordinates given by texting or ringing it, tells me speed and heading, if it starts, if ignition is on, even if its moved or vibrates, easily programmable, can even turn engine off on it, if tracker is disconnected it lets me know too, think it can cook and clean but not tried that function yet, only 500+vat fitted...bargain.

dont like stuff like this, if i lived any closer i'd offer to wait up for them. Ed -
oops, sorri woodpicker, thought u were askin me haha, damn now you know what im thinking, Ed
-
mm, my thoughts. set up proper security, as good as possible, better to prevent theft than be a statistic, for when it goes wrong as you said insurance comes into play, but to prove the pile of saws found in somebodys caravan isnt theres it should be identifiable as somebodys, i dont wana give the scum an easy ride, oh i gave up smoking as soon as i started as i got a sore throat.. Ed

just a hard month thats all, this stuff looks good imo, good comeback man, cant wait to be able to dig chipper out n start working 1st time in 4 wks (except firewood of course). Ed
-
fine then dont mark yours.. im desperately trying to save up £25 for it, Ed
-
no matter how good your security.. its a good product really cheap, maybe we should mark our saws in the same places? Ed
-
chipboard with an old tarp on top..
-
sounds like you found out the hard way mate, sorry to hear. Ed
-
wish i knew too, got a mate in california who can buy stihl kit at about half price to over here, he was going to send one over as a gift to try the system out? Ed
-
I know what you mean, every little helps, I've just beefed up security round here, extra heavy duty ground anchors and chains, cameras, trackers, alarms, screamer padlocks cable alarms etc, guess i wont be happy till i've foiled a break-in and proved it works, same as you, no way can I afford to replace kit. Ed

seen this a few times, prunus going limp, like an arm with no bones inside haha. Ed
-
second best to equipment being 'safely' secured, but looks worth it, i'll be getting some. thanks jim.

I think the idea is to install rope first then climb ladder, to reduce risk of free falling from 25ft.Ed
-
wow that sounds like a bargain then, i guess the idea is to put lots of dots all over your kit then? are the fuzz equipped to check for this stuff? Ed
-
£20 sounds good, daft question-any idea how many micrdots per bottle? would 1 bottle be enough for say 20 pieces of kit? i'll probably buy some to try..Ed
-
Another reduction just for laughs!

come on man.. choose a camera position and stick to it, (i always forget), nice work though. Ed -
latest is some supposed workwear company, always rings off a different mob number.. might be genuine but i'll never buy from a sales call.. we got telephone preferency wotsit thingy 2years ago but they look through phonebooks and ring up still.. Ed
-
very rare we use ladder, used them a lot in non arb work years ago and still dont like them, do use them occasionally but i'd rather not. dont mind large sturdy stepladders for hedgetrimming. Ed
