I'm assuming your in Wisconsin based on the Colfax location. Gaunder MTN or Scheels or Dicks should have a nice lift for under $80...could also try posting or searching on Craigslist. You could also post something at the local bars?????

Donate? Seriously?

Pick up a hammer and get some lumber. You can build a stand for $15.

After Christmas dicks puts them on sale and check bay. I prefer the old loggy's. I hove 2 but plan on buying at least 2 more. Not a better stand on the market.

Iowa based eh?

Menards. Hands down, some of the cheapest stands, but quality enough to be trusted to hod 300+ lbs.

I dont recommend the Tomcat, as its much too small, but either the medium sized or the biggest are great and both are under 60$...

I have a tomcat in my garage that I bought for like 29.99
late last year, just in case I need to put a stand in a area that it might get stolen or vandalized. Your right it is pretty small but I'm only going to use it in small trees

Menards has really good deals right now. At least mine does in Mason City. You can get a super nice 2-man stand for $150. The smaller ones are even cheaper. You should be able to find something there.

Sportsmans Guide has a Hang On Stand for 24.95. Seems like a good deal to me. I have the same Stand and it is a really nice stand for the money.
