I see they have cables and teeth that bite into the tree. Any feedback on these new climbers? They look a lot to me like Summit treestands!

They may look like summit...but they aren't! I stood on one yesterday at a 3D shoot, and I wasn't as confident in it as my summit as the platform was alittle smaller. I'm a big guy, so need all the platform I can get. Also, the one thing that these don't have is the rapid climb stirrups like Summit has, which makes climbing WAY easier. Loggy makes a decent stand, but Summit is the leader in climbers.

My buddy has a Summit but feels his climber digs into the tree too much, and he has to fight it out when he climbs and decends. He figured the greater number of teeth and cable system on the new loggy might be the ticket.

Anyone else have feeback on these stands?

Well, I weigh 350 and my Summit doesn't seem to dig in very much at all. If I can't get it to dig in, no one can! The only time I have to wiggle it a little is after I have been sitting in it for a long time, but as far as on the descent, I haven't had any problems at all.

I have an older model Loggy Bayou with the band that goes around the tree and i love it, but I retired it a few years ago and bought a summit, to me summit makes some of the best stands on the market. I have hunted out of lone wolf, API ( which is a comfortable stand ), tree lounge ( which is a joke ), even some of the other ones, none are better than a summit in my opinion.. Just a great stand...Mine dont dig into the tree bad at all and i weigh 285.
