Well I feel like an idiot. A friend gave me one years ago and I cut it up when I first got into saddle hunting to make a platform. I didn't know what I had or that they were hard to get. Haven't even thought about it till now. It's actually still rachet strapped to a tree lol I'll have to go out and get it.
weight limit was 225 if I remember correctly in the originals… These Things ain’t for our squatch brethren
I had the Spirit loc-on and used it a lot as a saddle platform for years . It hung in my garage for years and I can't remember what happened to it but it's gone.
They also had an ultralight version, which is the version I had at one time, weighed 6.5lbs on my scale...
Yep. I believe the platform is slightly smaller? Can’t remember but can measure mine when I get back into town.
Oh man, this may cost me some money. I have wanted one of these Loc On stands ever since I watched Warren Womack talk about his Loc On Limit stand on his youtube channel. Luckily for me so far, I haven't stumbled across one, lol.
If Treehopper starts offering the smallest version of the Loc On, I am assuming it is the Limit, I may just have to have one.

As far as I know it should be close to the original specs. So 7-8lbs. I'll weigh it when mine comes in.
I'm pushing the limit on weight on these things especially with gear. I have an old one in the garage I've never even hunted out of but may use at my pre-set bolt locations with the saddle for the longer sits.
Anyone at, close or over the weight limit and have no issues? I'm assuming the weight limit is one of those where actual failure occurs at a much greater weight but just wanted to run it by you guys that have used them in the past.
If the creaking and popping comes with the heavier guys that would be a no go for me too.

can someone explain the differences in construction and size between the limit and the windwalker?
i was under the impression that the windwalker was smaller and lighter always (not just the ultralight version), but the posting above lumps them together like they are the same.
thanks

not sure if tree hopper is making this one also
if the are making a 7 pound windwalker, then i might just stick with my 7 pound limit
