Steering ram anti-theft locks

[Pluto]

Anybody got experience of steering ram locks and do they work and are there any downsides. Thinking about getting one as electrical devices don’t seem to be as effective as they once were against our Subaru driving friends.

I know someone with 3. Nothing's been stolen yet[emoji23]

i have visions of getting on said machine forgetting its on and causing damage,

also forgetting to put it on...

their not cheap i would get a tracker instead

 

[Pluto]

I have heard stories of thieves being able to kill the signal on trackers, and although they may be just stories, the advantage with a ram lock is that there is just a one off cost, and if it fits, you can easily use it on to another machine.
Also it stops the machine being stolen in the first place, hopefully!

stick a tap on the steering load sense pipe and turn it off, job done.

ive got 4 steering locks there not cheap but seem the most simple way of making a machine immobilised and chances of them cutting it off and not knackering the steeering ram are slim

Hi

I bought two Block Stems from the below company (not affiliated with them in any way), and the service was fantastic. They are a large lump of metal, very quick to add and remove and Thatcham approved.

What about them damaging the machine out of spite because they can't take it

You may as well leave the keys in them then.

I get what you mean tho

Fair point, but you’ve got to do something to slow the bar stewards down!

That’s alright until the stewards realise what you’ve done.

Actually that reminds me, I’ve got a tap in the fuel line on my farm runaround, and I’m just going to check that I turned it off, because it’s already been stolen once.

A polish chap told me how they fit a Murphy valve on the fuel line so it stops running after a minute

if there that inclined to go looking for it, it wont make a bit of difference what you do to try and stop them!

Injection of lead?

Injection of lead?

Good idea, but frowned upon by authorities.

Pity

Seen them on blade rams on mini diggers but don’t stop the hiab boys

This one was on a Claas tractor.

They took it off with a cordless angle grinder (or similar) so they could nick the Graham Edwards trailer parked behind it
