Is it possiable to turn a ladder stand into a hang on.
Since my ladder got stolen i have no use for the stand unless it can be a hang on. If you can what will that do to the weight limit

With a welder and an imagination, anything is possible. However I would not recommend it. I mean this is pretty much your life we are talking about here. Treestand companies put their products through testing to ensure us of our safety. All it takes is 1 minor fault that is easily overlooked to cause a serious injury.
I'm not trying to scare you or anything, I just dont want to see anything happen to a fellow hunter.
The stress points on the metal were based around being up against a tree, and having a ladder hold it up. Without reinforcing it, personally I wouldn't feel safe.

Strap it on a tree and see what it needs (ground level). For some reason people are not aware that you can add as many straps to a stand as you like.
I just took one down to use some places else. I really don't see how one could be used without the ladder. Things heavy anyways so getting it up in the tree would be a chore.
I'd be happy knowing I've got some spare parts for later and scrape the idea of using it as a lock on.

+1, and TIM you're a BIG GUY anyhow, I'm not sure that's such a GOOD IDEA by any means. In all honesty, I think you're safer to look for a ground blind, or just hunt from the ground. Unless it's a 2-PERSON ladder stand, I don't even feel comfortable in them, and I'm only a 240-ish guy.
Well the stand was locked to the tree they tried looked like they attampted to pop the cable from the lock by sticking a stick between the tree and cable and pushing it out. It did not work. The ladder was not locked wish it was. They got the lower to sections

How'd you get just the ladder stolen?

Bummer. Who'd a thunk you'd need to secure every stinking piece. They sound like people who'd remove bolts. I'd say be thankful they took the ladder and you avoided a fall.
I know now, they were anti hunters. I'd look around for the ladder after the season's over asthey most likely ditched it. There's hope yet!
I found out who did it update to come and there hunters but more like some dam a** pothead hunters
