tree motion buckle

[goodaking]

Just got my new tree motion and realized the belt buckle is way off to the left. Where does your buck sit on your tree motion and is it easy to move it back to the center? I like the way my last tree motion was set up with the buckle dead center of the saddle.
Thanks goodaking

I haven't seen how folks are modifying their Tree Motion harnesses for tree frog/rope walker systems but I'm wondering if having the buckle on the left may somehow improve the Tree Motion for SRT setups.

mine sits to the left I bought mine last year...doesnt really bother me where it is

The female side of the buckle will always bias toward the left. Mine rides noticeably to the left. The smaller your waist, the more central the buckle.

So whatchoo sayin'? The OP is fat??? ;-)

Mine sites close to center but a hair to the left!

mine sits about 3 inches from the left pad... pretty far over but i like it

Looked over the tree motion,says it will last 3 months to one year of heavy use...looks cheaply made....bought an ergovation... heavy duty for heavy duty work. just my observation.

mine definitely sits all the way to the left, which I dont mind at all
as far as longevity, Ive had mine for 4 years and replaced the leg straps once as well as the bridge, neither of which were 100% necessary, and thats it. The leg pads dont stick to the velcro as well as they once did, but really isnt a big deal once im saddled up

You forgot to add its a heavyweight saddle too! That thing feels like a boat anchor. The Ergo is based largely off of the TM. Competition is good though.

The ergo weighs 6lbs 3 oz the thing I did not like about the tree motion was the attachment points with the cord threaded through he tubing.. I actually went to buy the tm but thought the ergo was better suited to the abuse of alot of gear hanging from the saddle daily.. you know what i mean!!!!tm is nice but i am rough on gear..

I wear a handsaw, figure 8, spare biner, and whatever saw I am using. If youre gear heavy then go for what works best. I am a weight weenie personally
