I have the same stand and the bar just isn't an issue. It would seem to be, but it's not. Just adjust the seat height, and the distance between the platform and seat to find the best spot.
Ya..I get that. I know how to use my stand...have climbed 500+ trees with and I still don't like it. But thanks anyway.
I guess I have to look at the construction of a Razor better. That one has a bar that folds back after climbing and it doesn't seem to support much in terms of the top staying put.
