This might be a little "off the wall" but I really wonder how safe our tractors and equipment exhibits are at shows?????Heres an exampel. At the recent show I purchase a Case hay baler from a gentleman. I had a reciept from him to prove my ownership. I left the baler set untill Sunday morning so the other visitors could enjoy it too.When I returned , I backed up to it , dropped a pin in the tongue and drove off! Nobody said a word to me! Now I am in no way saying that the show personell were not doing a good job ., but if I can do this , what would stop somebody else from doing the same with my tractor , OR YOURS????? Now I can say that 99% of us are honest and respect other peoples property. Its the other 1% that we have to be concered about. Am I just worrying about nothing??? Or does anybody else see it the same way?? What do you think??? Thanks Doug

this is sort of the same thing ,we show dogs ,lots of poeple lots of expensive dogs you need to show your entry papers to get them in and show your paperwork to get them out .It works a bit of a pain but we always come home with all our dogs.

i had similiar thoughts when i dropped off a tractor at a tire shop at 11:30pm in a nearby town. then picked it up several nights later at 10:30pm. several police drove by but did not turn a head. (i just knew i would be checked, but alast, noone paid any attention) now i don't feel so safe about leaving my stuff there. in either situtation i guess if you looked confidant enough, you would get away with it. thats why they are called confidance men or cons

I was thinking the same when I dropped my four tractors at a show!

They were all fine but when I was driving away I couldn't help but wonder "Will they be there when I come back?" Will anyone mess with them?!

Guess that's why we have insurance but when you leave something (even if is is old Iron) unattended if it means something to you, (more than just $$) you will probably have these thoughts!

If the SC goes anywhere I go with it for security but more importantly I don't want anyone to get hurt with it at a show, parade or hayride. Tractors can be very dangerous - SAFETY FIRST AT ALL TIMES!

Thanks for all the replys!! I can see that there are other people concerned too! You know, we all cant set by our machines ALL the time. Some of these , or should I say most of these shows are many days long. Like our county fair, most of the guys there know me and what tractors I have , but if were talking a national show like "Red Round-Up or The Case Convention or the Tri State Engine and Tractor Show in Indiana, there are people there from all over the US and Canada! WE cant know everybody. Maybe the guys that install a key switch in ther DC or Sc Case have a good idea after all. At least it will slow down a dishonest person!! Just my 2 cents worth! Thanks , Doug

Good point. Just a year ago at a tractor show in Twin Mountain, NH, somebody backed up to a nice Hudson trailer with a '56 Allis Chalmers tractor (don't remember the model but I posted on here about it and it probably can be found in the archives) on it and drove away and it hasn't been seen since.
