Gordon & Wen - (See - I covered my bases this time!) It's unfortunate that such precautions are necessary, but it seems they are. As I've said before, I've got mixed feelings as to whether all the modifications make my tractor more or less likely to get stolen, but I'm not taking any chances. I know one thing - it sure draws a crowd already, just because of the tires, I think. When everything else is done, it'll be ten times worse, I expect. I've got mixed feelings about that, too. It increases the exposure to the number of folks who might want to steal it, but it also means that more folks would recognize it as being mine. Ya pays yer money an ya takes yer chances, I guess...
As for chaining the trailer down, in really worrisome situations, I've thought about looping the chain through each wheel and locking it at each wheel. Then, they'd need to replace all the wheels, or cut all six locks or the chain in six places. But I need to find a discount source of good quality keyed-alike locks for that approach. Anybody have any ideas? Has anybody seen any of those locking chocks that clamp between two tires? That would be the best solution, I think. Probably too expensive, though.
