Mass tractor theft

[Surgery]

3 tractors pinched at a dealer south oxon last week , 8 200hp tractors pinched last night west oxford , Was a worry that as soon as folks resistance to lock down wavers thieving will go into overdrive.

 

[Adam@Rumen]

Must be exported straight away in those volumes, pretty hard to hide?

 

[roscoe erf]

id be breaking them down and selling the parts

The three have been recovered , by all accounts used in an attempted caravan theft in daylight!

Why do you need three tractors to pinch a caravan though?

Gather they were 6x T7.200's

Surely the only way to start these tractors as modern as they are is with a key which I would guess is coded

 

[MrNoo]

You'd think so but my T6090 can be started with any NH key, I did have an immobilizer fitted. You'd think in this day and age and also the cost of them a coded key would be the norm with more improved safety measures, tracking etc

Because you would need at least two New Hollands to move a caravan; and the chances are that one of the three would break down on the way.

You would think something could be done to make them more secure. I had a count up the other day, and based on newspaper reports, at least 15 Gators and smaller tractors have been lifted within about 5 miles of here since last winter. Thinking seems to be that they are loaded onto lorries very locally and sent off to Eastern Europe before the theft is noticed.

 

[TripleSix]

Be in Europe by now.

Why there is nothing being checked at the ports I don't know!

 

[David.]

Cheaper to get insurance companies sort it out.

And you wonder why the country is full of drugs..

 

[David.]

And handguns.

all cnh are keyed the same
I lost 2 tractors in December 4 in the shed they took the smaller power shift models left the complicated automatics

the only solution is engine processor imobiliser but then when it malfunction the dealer cost
anything the manufacturer does will be circumnavigated by the thieves
