I am using this from Optimus. https://www.amazon.com/GPS-Tracker-Optimus-Bundle-Magnet/dp/B01KKVKQ66
Monthly/Yearly plan is a bit much. I have them on my Gator and my trailers. I will be swapping them out for the direct battery connection. https://optimustracker.com/products/gb100m-easy-install-directly-on-cars-battery-gps-tracker?pr_prod_strat=copurchase&pr_rec_pid=6626974564434&pr_ref_pid=6626927542354&pr_seq=uniform I get a notification when they move. Battery lasts about 3 months. You can set up a GeoFence for each unit, so if you are moving equipment around the yard you don't get notifications. All in all I have been very happy with it.
