climber for larger trees

[andesman]

I was wondering if someone can help me. Im looking for a climber that can work on as large a tree trunk as possible. I have summit and love it. However I find that the cable needs to be longer to wrap around bigger trees. I called the company and they said no one ever asked that! I find that the diameter of tree with summits in less than olderstands I've used. Someone told me its a safety issue with summit. Can someone reccomend another stand?

I haven't seen any climbers that will do a tree larger than 20-22" . Safety may be an issue there , but weight would be my guess . Heavy climbers don't sell well . Have you considered ladder stands ?

I have a Summit Viper and love it, yet I find myself having to carefully pick out trees to climb. Most trees are either too thin or too thick where the "good spots" are. My buddy has a Loggy Bayou and can climb thicker trees with it. It's an older one so I don't know if the newer ones can handle the thicker trees.

My API isn't finiky with tree diameters. The chain is long enough for larger trees and adjusts for smaller trees as well.
