You can't stop a determined thief (unless you're close by with a gun....) but you can discourage them a little, as most don't want to work very hard or they wouldn't be stealing other folks' stuff! In addition to chaining it to something not easily moved, or tying up the wheels with chain that has to be removed to get the tractor loaded, try investing in a simple, cheap, and LOUD alarm. It's not hard to rig an alarm so it goes off with a deafening screech when the tractor is moved. Better yet, put the alarm up on top of the barn or shed where it's hard to reach so it can't be easily silenced, and where it can be heard for miles. I suppose one could invest in the kind of alarm that's often put on the Yuppie-mobiles that warns you to "Step Back! You are Too Close!"
