LoJack

[acme97]

Has anyone installed one of the LoJack system on their equipment? I was wondering how difficult it is, and if you were able to deduct for expense on taxes. I know there is no deduction on insurance at least with Kubota, but I'm trying to figure if it's still a good thing. Price wise, they run about $800 per unit.

I have loJack on my two bobcats and large trencher that are often left "on site" never thought about it for the tractor or baby bobcat as they are always in the garage.

Would LoJack equipment stand up to a tractor environment? The ride is a bit rougher than a car

Here is a less expensive option from Garmin. You can hard wire it to your car / tractor with an adapter cable. It is about $200, which includes first year's tracking. After that $50 a year. You can track it from a computer or smart phone.

This is the one I was talking to the company about. It's a one time price, with no yearly service fees. It's activated upon filing of a police report. From what they claimed, a 98% recovery rate. You can also put them on trailers.

The garmin device needs a clear view of the sky for satellite lock - hard to hide it. The LoJack doesn't use GPS.

I didn't know that. How does LoJack determine location?

LoJack FAQ:

It is based on wireless Radio Frequency technology. From ground or air, police can track the silent signal from your LoJack whether it is in a garage, an underground parking facility, or in a warehouse. This differs from most GPS-based tracking systems, which require direct line-of-sight to the sky.
