Stolen BT601 Backhoe

[eserv]

The backhoe for my BX24d was stolen in the last few days! It was inside a locked compound here in Hardisty Alberta. I will get the serial number from Kubota on Monday. Anyone seeing a loose backhoe for a BX being peddled please let me know!

Maybe a boom truck. Or perhaps they showed up with a BX on a trailer and got the backhoe hooked up.

They cut through a chainlink fence and dragged it out of the compound some way. We have 6" of fresh snow here covering the evidence.

A winch could drag it out through the fence and then they could load it either with a boom truck or drive a BX off a trailer, connect the backhoe and drive back on. Sorry to hear about this. I despise thieves. They have no honor.

That’s terrible!

I certainly hope you’re able to find the culprits and your backhoe.

I'm so sorry for you, that is just such a shitty thing to have happen to you!
I hate thieves!
I moved out of the big city environment to avoid things like this!

We live in a crazy world. I'm sorry to hear of your predicament. I have a friend who had a barn full of tools and equipment so what he has done is have cameras everywhere and then cameras watching the cameras. Then is the sliding door is opened a red light mounted on the peak of the barn lights up and rotates. That still is no guarantee, only a hazard to a thief.

It's like chasing fly off of a cow in the summer. They're coming back until they can't.

Whenever I hear of something like this (or it happens to me) I always have a fantasy that the thief (or thieves) will be found trapped underneath the equipment, where they suffered a long, slow painful death.
Or drove the stolen car into a bridge abutment at 100+mph....
Or got run over by a slow train....
Maybe got caught in the fire when the stolen item burns....
I guess that is not very christian of me, being a recovering catholic.

There was a guy in town who had hooks coming from his elbows. He was stealing wire!!

If they pulled the SD card, that would make one think it was someone that knew all about the set up,, just a thought,, I do they catch them!

Hello eserv,
That is a hell of a note and I hope the thieves get put in leg irons sunk into the concrete floor of a 5'x10' cell...naked. Douche them down once a day with a fire hose. Play random blasts of Norwegian death metal at 170 dB.

A thought...aside from the "permanent" sticker affixed by Kubota to each major implement, you could engrave the S/N of each into a couple of unobtrusive places on the equipment. A similar tactic is used in Ireland on each car window, and some car makers do that for cars in the US market. The idea is that any thief would have to replace all the windows. Having serials engraved into the heavy metal parts of a tractor would at least make them identifiable if recovered.

Good luck,
UM
