Tractor tracking · Nigeria

A tractor left in the field should still answer to you.

What it is

Your plant is worth millions, and it sleeps outside.

A tractor, a bulldozer or an excavator is one of the biggest cheques a farm or a site ever writes, and then it spends its life parked in the open where anybody can walk up to it. Tractor tracking puts a small, hidden unit on that machine so you always know where it sits, whether it is running, and who is moving it.

This is not the same job as tracking a car. Your machine barely drives on a road. What you actually want to know is the honest count of engine hours behind a day rate, the diesel that went in versus the diesel that vanished, and a fast warning the night someone tries to load your grader onto a lowbed. Otrac builds the tracking around how plant really earns its keep.

Three things a fitted Otrac unit does that a bare GPS dot cannot.

Counts the real hours

Engine hours and moving time are logged automatically, so when an operator bills you for a full day you can check what the machine actually did.

Watches the diesel

Pair the tracker with a fuel sensor and every top-up and every sudden drop shows up, which is usually where the money leaks on a farm.

Fences the field

Draw a boundary around the farm or yard and your phone shouts the second a machine crosses it, long before you would have noticed it gone.

Who fits it

Owners who cannot stand over every machine.

Commercial farms

Owners running tractors and harvesters across land they cannot walk every day, who want the true hours and the true fuel.

Construction & civil

Site managers with excavators and rollers spread across jobs, who need to know each machine is where the schedule says.

Plant hire firms

Businesses renting machines by the day, who bill on hours and need proof of where their asset went and how hard it ran.

Cooperatives & lenders

Groups that financed a machine for a member and want to see it stays on the farm it was bought to work.

How it works

From a WhatsApp message to a machine on your screen.

Tell us the machines

Send the make and type of each tractor or plant unit and where they sit. We tell you what fits and whether fuel sensing makes sense for you.

We come to the yard

A fitter reaches your farm or site and wires the unit into the machine's own power, tucked away where a hand feeling around will not find it.

Set your fields and alerts

We draw the geofences with you and switch on the alerts that matter, from after-hours movement to fuel drops and tamper warnings.

Run it from your phone

Open the app to see every machine, read the hours, check the fuel, and pull a live position you can pass to the appropriate security authorities if one goes missing.

What's included

Everything in a tractor tracking fitting.

One visit to your land, and a machine that reports for work the same day.

Rugged hidden unit

A hard-wired tracker sized for plant, fitted out of sight and built for dust, heat and vibration.

Hours & usage log

Engine hours, moving time and idle time, so every day rate can be checked against real work.

Optional fuel sensor

Add a sensor to read level, top-ups and sudden drops on tractors, generators and plant.

Field geofences

Boundaries around each farm, yard or site, with an alert the moment a machine leaves one.

Theft & tamper alerts

Movement, power-cut and tamper warnings sent to your phone, day or night.

NCC-registered SIM

Twelve months of data on a properly registered SIM that stays live, with support on WhatsApp.

Why not a car box

Logs engine hours and idle time, the numbers a day rate is actually billed on.
No sense of the diesel going in or vanishing.
Fuel sensing that flags every top-up and every sudden drop.
Light casing that rattles loose in the vibration of heavy plant.
Rugged unit hard-wired to survive dust, heat and shaking.
Geofences built for roads, not open farmland.
Field and yard boundaries set the way plant is really parked.
Handed over in a bag for you to figure out yourself.
Fitted on your land by a team that wires plant every week.

Why Otrac

We fit plant the way we fit fleets. To hold up.

Otrac has worked on Nigerian vehicles and machines since 2017. We know what a tracker goes through on a tractor that ploughs all season and an excavator that lives on a muddy site, and we wire the unit so it keeps reporting long after a stuck-on box would have died.

Your machines sit on the same platform as our car and fleet trackers, on an NCC-registered SIM that stays live. One app, one team, one number to reach when a unit goes off the map and you need answers fast.

Pricing

What tractor tracking costs

Plant tracking is quoted per machine, because a single tractor with a fuel sensor and a yard full of excavators are two very different jobs. Tell us what you run and we price it the same day.

Plant tracking is one part of running assets in Nigeria.

Most owners who track a tractor also want eyes on the rest of what they run. Otrac covers the whole ground, from the assets in the yard to the fuel and the fleet on the road.

FAQ

Tractor tracking, answered.

Can I see how many hours a machine actually worked?
Yes. The unit logs engine hours and moving time, so you can check the day's work against what the operator told you.
Will the tracker survive dust, heat and vibration in the field?
The unit is rugged and fitted hidden, wired to the machine's own power, and sized for tractors and heavy plant that sit outdoors.
What happens if a machine is driven off the farm at night?
You draw a geofence around the field or yard, and the moment a machine crosses it your phone alerts. The live position becomes location intelligence you can share with the appropriate security authorities.
Can I track fuel on a tractor or generator?
Yes. We can add a fuel sensor so you see level, top-ups and sudden drops, which is where most of the diesel on a farm quietly disappears.
What does tractor tracking cost?
Price depends on the machine, whether you add fuel sensing, and how many units you need. Send us the details on WhatsApp and we quote it the same day.
