Lone Wolf Seat Platform DIY question

[2big2ride]

What is the tube size (width) to fit up to a lone wolf seat kit? I want to minimize the amount of spacers to prevent side loading.
Thank you!

I think it’s 1 1/4

Just ordered a seat kit today!!LOL

Where do you order these seat kits from?

 

[RRussell]

Lone wolf sells a seat kit that comes with the casting and seat cushion

I just got my seat and measured the width and its a touch over 1 1/2 but with the washers 1 1/4 will work perfectly

What's the price for the seat and could you post some photos of it? I'm thinking of building one for myself I would really appreciate if could!

Thank you!

It is 1.25 tube, the seat will come with two washers to make it tight. I got the tube and tree brackets from DanO with eastern woods outdoors for right around $40. I like my double step added to the top and recommend it, it will take a little mod as the step is made to fit a 1 inch tube.

Nice job... does it kick out at all on the edges?

What do you mean kick out? Like get lose with side pressure? If that’s what you mean, then no. I can it over a couple times and once it bites in deep it’s solid

I've made a similar platform but likely need to change my stand offs to one like Sano's. I'm new to camming things over. Does the repetition of camming help get it to bite? Or are you making adjustments of some type. Between cams? I ask because I'm not entirely satisfied with how mine holds to the tree.

Generally I tighten as much as I can with seat in up position then push seat down, lift all the the way up and tighten strap a little more and push down again. On a hardwood and thinner bark tree, 2 cam downs will be solid usually. With a pine tree it has sometimes taken a few extra to get it really solid

Ok thanks. I keep feeling like the strap stretches once I stand on it..

Have you had any issue with the platform deforming or breaking over time?

I used 11/2" and still had a thin washer on both sides. I also made mine a little longer and add a ratchet strap after hung.

One quick question, do you save enough money over a new Predator or is it that much better?

There is significant enough savings for an old retired guy and I have never tried a Predator.

I have both predators. Just not my thing. I don't like the angle that I need to stand and also have less control than using steps. FYI I knew when I started down the deer hunting road saving money was not part of the plan. I was right
