tried out my new sit and climb wide stand, it came with the xl belts
they were WAY too long for the small (about 10-12 inch tree) I tried to climb..thinking of cutting them off
most of the trees I will be climbing will be this size too, I was shocked the belt did not fit right
My old summit viper would have had no issue with a tree this size
anybody else had this problem or shortened the belts before??
I really don't want to buy 'new' shorter replacement belts for this stand which cost me close to $500 already!

Re: XL LW traction belts too long?
I got the XL belts for mine too but I also have the standard which I plan on using mostly. The XL seem too long for the trees I climb. I had the standard on my hand climber too and climbed some big oak trees and never had an issue. I don't know about cutting them?? Doesn't seem like a good idea to me??
