GPS Tracker?

[orangejoe]

I am getting ready to go pick up my new B2601 here in about an hour. I do have the KTAC insurance. But I want to feel warm and fuzzy inside and feel having a GPS tracker on it would do the trick. Didn't know if anyone else as done this as my search results turned up nothing. Any help or comments are greatly appreciated.

Welcome to TBN.

How far are you traveling?

I have one my tractor it's called SPOT TRACE. The company has a web site at www.findmespot.com. It created a lot of fun when my cousin borrowed my tractor (which he has my permission) and I called him and asked him how it was performing. Not only does it alert me when the tractor is out of the shop it also sends me its coordinates.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have that hardwired? Is so do you worry about it draining the battery? If not what are your charging procedures?

So maybe $150 plus $50/year?

I have not gotten that sophisticated yet as to hard wire the unit at the time I got mine the only hard wire option was not waterproof but from their web site I see where that has changed. I just change the batteries every couple of months it works fine. But from the small current draw I don't see where it could pose a problem with battery draw.

The service I got was the basic around $100 per month. I have it set to sent me an alert every 30 minutes.

I purchased it for good old fashioned fun and it has my cousin still does not know how I know every time the tractor moves out of the shop. I hid it well.

If the batteries run a couple months in between charges, then it should never draw the battery. Thanks for the info. I didn't get much seat time in when I got her home. But this is a huge upgrade from my 1988 Kioti LB2204. I will post pictures as soon as I figure it out.
