Equalizer Tree Stands

RE: Equalizer Tree Stands
Rick, Have the made that sling seat any quieter? I ordered one last year and used it for about 5 minutes. It was covered with very rough material and made way too much noise for me. I called the company and they gladly took it back with no problems and also said they were going to look at a different material to use.
I ended up taking the sling seat off of my old API and using it on the Equalizer.
As for the plastic handles...I have use mine for about a season and a half now and not had a bit of problems with it.

I went out last night being it was so cool and climbed to a height of about 20'. Was very easy to climb and bites the tree like no other stand I have used. Once you pull the 2 straps to lock the stang to the tree it is rock solid. I was able to attach the sling seat with only a little effort, maybe 2 minutes at best.The cranks I will leave like they are, the little knobs they give you bent while packing the stand so I will use the screws with a little locktite.I am very happy with this stand and will now sell my Goliath.

I really like the concept for the stand. Received the DVD last week and seriously considering the purchase. Also considering the Summit Razor SS. Anybody have any experience with the Razor? I am just a little concerned with moving parts on my climber.

I didn't notice any noise with it but it is very stiff and hard. I was all set to take the sling seat of of my Goliath but I just sold thatstand tonight in the classifieds here. I think I will buy the seat from Summit and try it. I would send the seat back but don't have the packageing anymore.

Your knees will hit if you have the top of the stand too low or in other words too close to the bottom section. If they hit raise the top higher on the tree to strecth out your legs. I am waiting on the foot rest to come and that willhelp move your knees out straighter also.Equalizer has the foot rests in stock but no mounting directions so they won't ship them till they get the instructions. How hard can it be to mount a foot rest? Ask DavidMil, they sent him one with his new stand order whenhe told them he would figure it out. He did say it wasn't cut and dry through.

Here's a link to some pics of the seat with the stand. Just click the thumb nail to enlarge.
