Secure My Pioneer 1000-5

[StoneCold]

Hello. I’m new to the forum and have a question. I own a 2020 Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe and transport it on an open utility trailer. How do you secure your SxS from theft while traveling? Chains, cables, Locks, etc. Please advise. Thanks

sorry my brain has been full today I’ve been off a little bit. Long week. But the same goes for that as well search it it’s been Discussed a few times

Everything has been discussed - many, many times. If you don't want to give an answer, that's OK, pass it by.

But let's not discourage new members from asking questions.

I use a 15' cable going thru the front wheel, secured thru the steering wheel with one of those big bike locks.

Ultimately, with the easy and fast cordless side grinders everyone has, nothing is really secure.

You just want to make it less easy.

The cable and lock at least slows them down enough to lock-n-load and get some rounds through them

Glad I could clarify it for you! You seemed deeply concerned. 👍

Thanks P1K5Dave for your kindly response. Didn’t need the prior sarcasm that wasn’t helpful.Thanks again.

An insurance policy with comprehensive coverage that includes theft.

IMHO, there is no chain, cable or lock that's going to stop someone with the correct (and inexpensive) tool from defeating it in under a minute or so.

Hauling it in an enclosed trailer will make it less of a target vs hauling on an open trailer.

Thanks for the advice Scoop.

Welcome from Alabama.
I agree with @Scoop If you don't already have a trailer, look into enclosed.
When we moved from Michigan to Alabama I had purchased an enclosed trailer thinking I'd sell it after the move (3 trips). As it turned out before i could sell the trailer I got the P5 - told the dealer if it fits in the trailer I'll buy it.
I like the idea of out of sight out of mind, plus it keeps it cleaner going down the road and available storage for other items.

Thanks DaddyDubbs, I have an enclosed it’s just not tall enough for PK15 but I agree that would be best. Also, like Scoop advised I am insured. But until I get a new trailer, I’ll take P1K5 advise with the cable. Thanks to all.

agree with scoop, keep them insured, anything you do is simply a deterrent, and better than nothing, if they want it bad enough, they will take the truck, trailer, sxs and be gone

I've backed the utility trailer in against a wall, parked under the canopy entrance at hotels overnite, etc.

we have had a couple in the area ripped off while owners away from machines and out hunting, whoever pulled up threw it in neutral and towed it away never to be seen again

if im out hunting and going to be away from it, trail cam is pointing at it, pull the steering wheel\throw in backpack, take the key and hope I don't have to make a pickup call when I get back

Good ideas and advise. Thanks DRZRon1
