Securing your Pioneer against Theft

[100Acre]

God forbid someone stealing your machine but apparently this does happen on occasion. What do you do preventive wise to secure your machines against theft? Is there a way to lock it to your trailer or some type of car alarm install? Thanks

Don't fall in love with your machine and get good insurance on it. A meth head can steal anything.

Pull a tire.....thieves are lazy.....
alarm.....

I take the key out. (That helps a lot)
At home, I park my tractor behind it. It would take a lot of work to get it out, and @rocmar told me thieves are lazy.

We used to run a chain through the wheels on all ATV's and then secured it. They would have to take all or nothing and playing with the chain would make a lot of noise too. Guess could do the same with the Pioneer if you had alloy wheels.

Leave it in gear when you park it.... Your machine can't roll and it can't be shifted into neutral without turning on the ignition.

They make wire beak tamper alarm. I used this once or twice in WV. But if your not around or secluded kinda pointless as they are loud but not super loud.

I think it would be fun to install a gps tracker. Then go fox hunting.

I have a directional charge under the seat.. if you don't start it in the right sequence the charge detonates and blasts the would be thief out of the machine in a fine pink mist!

Same here, and I keep it blocked in with no key.I used to have and anchoring spot in ground but my wife taught me the Pioneers are torquey, and ripped it out of the ground

Just inside the door to my shop I used to put down 2 1x6 boards with several 10 penny nails sticking through them. Then my stepson went to prison so I stopped doing it. He gets out in Nov so guess I'll start doing it again then lol.

Nah I want him to run. More fun following a blood trail through the woods than finding him in shop stuck to a board.

"Pink" mist. very odd specific detail there. I can only get mine to blow them to the color of smitherines. Hard to describe and even harder to clean up.

I would suggest if you have Verizon a kids watch called GizmoPal 2. It costs about $30 refurbished on EBay. With Verizon, it's only another $5 a month on your plan. Battery lasts 4-5 days. Then you can just throw it in a saddle bag and be able to track your SXS it if it gets stolen. Of course I let my daughter use this watch, gps example attached. You can either have it give you a location check up to 10 times a day, or you can also do it on demand, anytime you want.

I hide the key and carry good insurance. I don't want them unbolting anything to take it. Just take the whole damn thing and I don't want it back. You can spend your life trying to deter a thief or Pay the deductible and have a brand new machine. I used to bolt and chain things but decided all the hassle was really just helping the insurance company.

You've got a point!
