Does anyone use Equalizer Tree stands

[MECHDOC]

I recently purchaseda Equalizersit and climb tree stand with levelingsystemand I think I like it better then my Lone Wolf sit and climb.I have only used it 4 times without any problems.The leveling system is great when trees taper badly.The tree stand only weighs 2 pounds more than my Lone Wolf.The stand is all aluminium and welded very nicely,and is silent when moving around on it.Im curious if any body else has had expierience with these stands and if you had any complaints.

First, welcome to the forums, glad to have you. How bout an introduction?

Enjoy.

That being said, I'll have to check into them as your post may be the very first time I've heard of them.

I've been using mine since June. Great stand! Leveling system works as advertised. Really bites a tree...rock solid. 270 total inches of welding. The build quality is first rate. Highly recommend.

Is this the stand with the threaded cranks that you can turn in or out on the platform and climber to level it? If so, I have seen it, but not used it. I must say the concept is very intriguing. I like the idea because there is nothing more frustrating than getting 15+ feet in the tree and finding out you can either sit/stand uncomfortably or go down and make a racket because you estimated poorly.

If you have any pics please post them.

Look nice.............I would rather have the rail above where I sit though.

I am going to check them out at the Dixie Deer Classic. They are going to have a booth set up.

The only problems I have encounterd with stand was screw for crank handle cam loose and almost completly fell out.But if I would of read instructions they tell you to put a drop of removable lock tight on threads or use supplied thumb screws and remove crank handles when transporting.The other problem I found un fortunatly when I was getting ready to take a shot was my rubber boots on the wet platform squeeked very loudly.Yeah the deer was gone after that.

I have a friend that uses them and loves them. He has two of them. one set up for bow and the other set up for gun.

They are easy to back pack. I thought about buying one myself, but as of now I just can't see spending that much money for a stand that isn't as comfortable as stands that are cheaper.

[MECHDOC]

Yes StrutNtom they are pretty high priced.I found the cheaper stands always have some sort of a draw back weight,bulkyness,noise and minimal if anyfactory support if you have problems.I also do like the comfort of a saddle type seat or sling type but I find it hard to get to my feet without alot of motion and effort -thats just me.On the Equalizer you can purchase optional sling style seat but I prefer the padded seat due to being able to mount it facing tree,away from tree or on a 45 degree angle to lean against while you are standing.The cushion is padded nicely and dries really fast.

I am going to try some limb saver silent spray coating on platform to see if this stops squeaks from wet boots.
