I wonder how hard would it be for thief to crack the passcode on those keyless start mowers?

Probably harder than the ones that use a key the same key every mower uses the same key slot that be turned with a flat head screw.driver or anyone with a brain cell could hot wire it personally I never saw the reasoning for those locks they are not effective at all lol

If someone is going to take your mower they are not going to start it and drive it home. It's funny people say I take the key out so no one can steal it. OMG they can just push it

Not all of them can be pushed. Remember the old 5-7 speed yard machines that had no neutral. I ran across those and they wont roll by pushing it.

Very true.
But really who is going to start a mower and drive it out of your yard.

A few months ago I was doing a yard and someone stole a shovel off my trailer but left the trimmers and blowers

Really? Sure you didn't leave it on a job or bounce off while in transport?

or just pick it up with 2 guys and put it in the back of a truck or a trailer depending on the tractor? my mtd 2 people could lift that front end onto a tailgate then muscle the back end in a bed of a pickup. while i was at work at the construction site my foreman had his work van door opened, a guy walking down the street took a box of nail gun nails instead of the $400 framing gun sitting right next to the box.

I liked to see 2 guys pick up a Cub Cadet 682 hydro w/KT17 and load it on pickup truck.
