Something I have been thinking about. What is to stop someone from pulling up to my place with a heavy duty trailer when no is home. Starting up the 4500, loading it and taking off with it? Seriously doubt my neighbors would stop anyone from taking it. They all loathe the day it arrived! LOL.
Recently had a contractor at my house when looking to have the garage built. (Still nowhere with that). Soft spoken, seemed nice enough. But his ref"s did not pan out and when I did a search for his current biz registration came up MIA. Did find he has opened and closed a handful of biz"s over the last 10-15 years. Many dissolved due to lack of filing. Also found some kinda of court case against him by the NH state. No details. Sent him a email I was not interested. He has called more then once asking if I still wanted to build the garage? He acts like I never said no and today he called again and I strongly stated bad ref"s, too many failed biz"s, no thank you. Was he just checking to see if I was home?
My paranoia thickens. I periodically search CL to see if there are any 4500"s for sale in my area. Been a few on CL with pics. BUT recently there was a listing for a 4500 that sounded just like mine right down to its faults. Odd, no pics, location remote woodlot in NH. Emailed I was interested. Got a reply asking for my ph nbr to call me. Never heard back.
Tractor has push button to start it, starts right up if its above 30 out.
I figure I would turn the front wheels all the way to the left, chain either the steering wheel or better yet the front axle so it can"t be turned straight. Also let down rear stabilizers and chain those 2 handles so they cant be raised back up. This should keep anyone from being able to load it on a trailer.
Getting paranoid in my middle age. Been burnt one to many times.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
