I am thinking about picking up an Equalizer climber for the leveling feature, but I see that it can only be used on a 19" tree. Does that mean it will only level once the tree is 19"? What I mean is can I put it on a tree that has a 24" base and then tapers out to 19"? I realize the stand would have to be tilted upwards at the start of climbing. Anyone else try this?

I never did measure the tress I used it with , but I know you can use it on tress large enough to cover your body. For me thats a good size tree to hide my fat A$$. Its the best climber I ever had, its a all day sit stand, easy to set up and is rock solid. The crank system is awsome. You will not be disapointed if you buy one!

One of the better stands I have owned

Thanks for the responses. I am close to ordering one, but I am still a little hesitant due to the 19" max tree diameter. I am afraid of limiting my choices of trees it can be used on.
