Indiana Dude, If you have the Old Model you have a good Treelounge.I might add that's a smart move removing your Leveler.I'm sure TL will send out more emails when they decide what they are going to do about these Levelers.I will post if I hear anything.Apparently I'm on their mailing list.Ever since TL went to that lighter semi round extrusion their stands in my opinion aren't safe. Not near as safe as the old model Bob Hice designed and made.I guess Mr. Spivia thought he was improving the TL in return he ruined it. I will admit the weight difference is nice but that's all.I hope they will give us the option to either take a replacement or refund.I'll take a refund and forget about Treelounge from then on.There are allot better climbers out there for less money.I was a satisfied TL customer until the new version hit the market.I used to praise Treelounge.Now I wouldn't give ten dollars for a dozen of the new versions......
