Tractor show security?

Postby Tom Evans » Fri Jul 28, 2006 6:03 pm

I'm debating on taking my Lo-Boy to the Portland Indiana show in August. However, I'll be staying out of town and will have to leave the trator and trailer on the show grounds overnight. Should I have any concerns or take any precautions?

I removed the wire from the mag to the cap to keep it from starting. If its a big show they should have some type of night watch. Hope all goes well.

Have done the same at Portland and never had any problems. I keep a tongue lock on the trailer. No one has ever bothered my tractor.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

I know the people that run the show. They have told me they have more problem with theft during the day time than at night. They hire security for the show. I have never had any problems.

Tom,

I've attended every Portland show since 1975 (their 9th show), most years as an exhibitor. I never take any security precautions at all. I've thought about locking the chain locker on my trailer parked in the north 40, but have never done so.

Just think about what life would be like for a thief or vandal if caught by a bunch of tractor rednecks!
