I own a ram rod 900T... the company sucks hard.
So difficult to get their one off stupid expensive parts. Little to no help with simple issues, for real they could not even get me some parts they put on the machine.
I ordered wheels from them, the wheels did not fit and they would not pay...

Tying a not is a terrible idea for tree guys.
You should always confirm there is rope under you, period...what if it got cut?
I knew a climber who fell off the end of his rope twice, cause he cut it and did not know it. For real...Second time the fall hurt him. He is paralyzed from the waist...

As a tree climber; I would buy a unit with a remote battery/rear of harness/small lower back pack/ stream lined mounted battery pack. A power tether feeds around to the main attachment point of the climbing harness/saddle. There an attachment point is made with the device and...
