Lock-Down Device For ATV's, Snowmobiles
"Your Owner's Report on ATV's in the last issue of FARM SHOW prompted me to send you information on a lock-down system for ATV's and snowmobiles that I've been working on for the past couple of years," says Richard Riach, Sudbury, Ontario.
"Thieves use bolt cutters or a hacksaw to cut open almost any lock, chain or cable. My ATV Snagger and Sled Snagger uses a padlock that is shielded from anything but a cutting torch.
The ATV Snagger ($120 Canadian) has locking arms that slide inside the wheel rims after you drive the unit onto the frame. The locking disks prevent removing the wheel nuts. The unit itself must be anchored to the ground or to a concrete pad.
"The Sled Snagger TM ($120) has a steel rod that slips through the track and suspension system. You can lock two sleds to a single unit, in which case you don't have to anchor the unit because thieves would not be able to carry off two units. If you're just anchoring one sled, you should anchor the Snagger to the ground.
"Both the units can be fastened to the bed of a trailer for use on the road. We also make a Portable Snagger ($40) which works well to attach your machine to any stationary object, such as a railing. Like the bigger units, it also encloses the padlock to defeat thieves."
