With the rubber on the bottom instead of teeth I would be skeptical about it slipping in trees such as pines or other loose barked trees.
Looks like a solid stand, really wish they would just post the prices on the site. This irks me, you want me to consider purchasing your produced, spout all the specks and information you can....they tell me to email or contact you for the price. Why not just put it on the site? For something like a tree stand, ( they can say what they want there are probably half a dozen similar stands on the market) I wont go out of my way to find our more info for a price. Just provide it.
Wedge Loc I have 6 of these stands and can't be happier with them. They are the quietest stand I have ever used. I have never had them slip on the tree. The trick is to not have the chain or strap too tight on the tree. That way the stand pulls on the rubber grommets securing it to the tree. I have been using them for about 8 years now and never had an issue. I have about 15 chains/straps that I leave in the tree and have one stand that I carry in. They are very quiet to "slap" on the tree and hop in. I also own a couple sets of the ladders and am happy with these as well.
Wedge Loc They are kind of spendy. Depending on Model I think they range from $200.00 up to $320.00. It's been a while since I bought them so the pricing could have changed. The chains or straps were $25.00 when I first bought them Don't know what they are now. I bought them over the course of a few years so it wasn't too bad but they are worth it IMO
Thank you for visiting our web site. The Brute is $280, extra rigging chains are $31.50 (the strap version is $39.50), the Stik-Tite (250# capacity) is $97 per 4-ft section, and the Big Stik (350# capacity) is $119 per 4-ft section (each section includes a rigging chain). just emailed them. Thinking about getting one and trying them out.
Wedge Loc I own 6 sections of the ladder and really like them. You can be up 18'-20' within a few minutes. They are a breeze to set up but spendy. I usually pick up a couple straps (straps are quieter and lighter) every year to add to the arsenal.
280 for hang on with a mesh deck is kinda high....I cant see the point or the value in that. If I was going to spend that much I would get a quieter cast alum decking.... For that matter the Muddy Stands are pretty similar feature wise...and LOT cheaper.
Additional Thought Thought I would add to this string. I have a friend who lives/hunts in Texas and he bought a couple of these stands. I ended up buying them from him because the Mesquite/live Oak trees were too flimsy and crooked to hold the stands properly. The stands work the best on trees that have a circumference of at least 12"
Yep, I have had similar situations with other companies in the past and didn't buy from ANY of them in the end because of that. It's not wise business strategy to make your consumer go out of their way to buy your product IMHO.
Interesting concept. Looks like a mom and pop outfit to me. Possibly here today and gone tomorrow. Their marketing / website certainly leaves something to be desired. I am sure my 7 year old could put together a better site then that in a couples hours. Funny thing is "It's professionally maintained.....". lol You lost me with the word all steel and the pricing....
That much for steel??No thank you . I'll get a Lone Wolf, Muddy or Summit. They don't need a $35 accessory to be hung either.
