This same technique was attempted over 20 years ago at my credit union, and the thieves ended up blowing two of the tractor's tires, forcing them to leave it an the ATM machine behind.
Needless to say, it didn't take long to track down the tractor's owner, who turned out to be the "mastermind" of the epic fail, losing both his tractor and his freedom.

Kubota all the way. No American tractor would do such a sloppy job. 'Murica!
