No one can tell you you can't lock gates on your property. It may be a crime to evade a repo by hiding vehicle etc but they would have to prove it another way. Get an attorney if you are charged with anything or take the free one. On another note since they are trying to repossess and you can't use it, you should put it somewhere they can get at it to stop the harassment, otherwise next time you go to gas station or store, you will be walking home.

In the event the possessor of a vehicle under repossession were to destroy a vehicle to prevent that repossession, he could then be charged with malicious destruction of private property and hindering a lender.
