I had one back in the day they are built well. But watch out if you use it as a climber. If tree is wet or slick it will come down in a hurry. Been there done that got a T shirt. I was 21 then jared me a little when it came to a screaching halt. But never used it as a climber after that.

I have one of the newer ones.I have had it 7-8 years and it is great,light,quiet.It has a steel cable unlikd the older ones with the flat band.It also has teeth on the back side that really bite the tree good.
I think it is rated for 275-300 lbs,cant remember.

I still have one of the old ones with the band. I got about 18 years of use out of it and then outgrew it. lol I'm almost certain they were only rated for 250lbs.

I too took a ride down a wet Poplar one morning in my old Loggy. Not long after that when Summit finally woke up and started building Aluminum stands instead of steel I made the switch. Probably just in time before I had a bad accident.
If you are determined to keep it and hunt out of it, or sell it, then please get in touch with Loggy if they are still around and buy the claw attachments they came out with. One set bolts to the platform and the other slides over the steel climbing band. The only good thing about the old Loggys was the extreme light weight for a climber in that day and time. Now you got much better choices in either a Summit or Lone Wolf IMHO. Please be careful..... Please !

Almost killed my self with one. I had the one that had a hook going through a plastic ball. I set up and put my weight on the stand to set it in the tree. The plastic ball pulled out of its socket and down I went about 4 feet. Almost strangled my self with my own safety belt. Never again.

Sounds like alot of people have had some bad experiances with them. Im 270 lbs and been using mine since 1994. Maybe I should replace it but I just havnt had a good enough reason. Granted I hunt mostly out of hang on stands and only use it a couple times a year. With that said if I were buying one it would be a lone wolf, very light and quiet.

One of my old hunting partners who a great many years ago weighted a bit under 400 used one of the old gray Loggy's with the wide band. I think it was only rated at 250 but he used it for years. I think he wore out more trees than anything else. I believe the new ones are rated at 300.

I can only laugh at the simular stories to mine. Even though its not very funny when the thing is coming down the tree. I just remeber the tree bark going by in a blurr and stoping abruptly. I slipped down about 10 feet before the tree got wide enough to stop it. Jared my back and buddy laughed but I was ok. We used to shoot out of it off season for tree stand practice. I had a heavy rope tied to it to pull up bows. My buddy who was built like a gorrila in fact I always called him Magilla grabed the rope and swung while I was up in it. I knew he was going to do it so I bear hugged the tree the stand twisted on the tree but supported at least 400 lbs. Not a test I would recomend. man we where stupid back then. I had the one with the plastic knob and rope to secure it when you climbed to where you wanted to be. I just thought it mad to much nois climbing also. I just put a ratchet strap on it and got rid of the other stuff. It worked better as a hang on stand. My old man threw it out later on.

The newer LB stands don't have the steel band like they used to. Now they have a steel reinforced cable which and grip teeth on the platform. I bought one a few years back as it has the raise seat that locs around the tree and has nothing in the way......after climbing in it a few times I went back to my Ol Man and use the LB as a hang on stand....they IMO suk as a climber. Cumbersome, loud, etc, etc. not my cup of tea.
