Default RE: Timbertall Climbing Treestands

I got a timber tall stand last year.
I also have a summit viper and a Featherlite Apache.

The timbertall is very light and the Knob adjustment is a nice feature, but You have to sit on the bar and lean way over to adjust the foot platform.

I have the standard model and it is SMALL compared to the viper.
Also it is VERY NOISY. There is no way to put it on a tree without it making alot of clanking. The threaded rod end of the cable slides in and out clanking the adjustment nut against the frame making a hell of a racket! Also there is no padding on the frame or bar so forget about resting a gun or bow on it.
Also seperating the 2 halves when setting up makes some clanking.

Now it You dont mind paying that much for a stand then modifing it to quiet it down thats another thing, I have not had time to work on it (felt washers on each side of the nuts ?, sewing up rail cushions ?, affixing rubber blocks where the frames contact when it is together ?)

I still use it becouse it is so lite, and the adjustment knobs are real savers when going way up a tree, so You are not leaning down.

Bottom line is, A great stand if You do not mind putting the finishing touches on it.
