I would say it comes down to your personal comfort level in a stand. I think the size of the .75 stand would suit you fine as the platform is the same length but just a bit narrower than the 1.0. I find the platform size on the .75 to be the perfect size. It is roomy enough, fits well in tighter spots, and it is lightweight. I don't think you would be disappointed with the .75.

@borivers9514 does it work with bigger boots size 10-11 Or the tip of the toe sticking out?

I think you will be fine with that boot length.

The snowblower is made by RAD and came with a sub frame specifically designed with brackets to mount to the Great Dane Chariot mower.

@@borivers9514 do you have a link? I’d love to get mine functional before the snow flies

@@JayGeeJay I don't have a link. I bought it over 20 years ago and the dealer I bought it from is not in business anymore. I believe the RAD company is out of Canada.

@@borivers9514 ok great! I was looking for the link to the blower and mount. I have the Chariot. I’ll do some digging. Thanks again!

It is the standard seat height of 20"

@@borivers9514 , thank you.

Have thought about it and can see certain advantages to saddle hunting but just haven't tried it.

Great review. Explained everything very thoroughly.

No. LWCG has longer cam straps you can get from them that come without the buckle and also with a bungie cord at the end of the strap. Very nice and functional.

Obviously a personal choice to upgrade, and a decision I thought about. I got my .75 for about $450.00 due to an exchange for the 1.0 I bought many months previous and took a long time to get. LWCG honored the exchange. Now, though, the .75 is at $600.00. If you are constantly hiking in the stand longer distances and setting it up often, I would say it could justify the cost as there is a 3 pound weight difference and the climbing sticks integrate with the stand as system. The .75 is nicer to hang due to it being lighter. Once hung in the tree, though, there is really not difference in overall comfort. That said, I would gladly trade every older stand I have for the .75 as I do like it that much. Good luck with your decision!

The newer Sidekicks have longer support arms/wings to accommodate the newer bows. I can't imagine it wouldn't work well for your wide-limbed bow. I think it would actually work even better with a wider limbed bow as there would be more bow limb surface area to contact the Sidekick arms.

I don't know how well the Sidekick would on those stands as they don't have a hole in the edge of the platform to mount it to.

Third hand archery makes one that should work pretty universally

I was initially looking at the 5, but glad I waited. The .75 looks like the perfect fit for me. Especially now with seat size and seat height choices they offer. Time to order one! Thanks again for taking time to do the video.

@@stevesnyder7804 Sounds good and thanks. I think you will really like the .75. I really think the size and shape of the .75 is perfect.

I have had my .75 for about a month I love it glad I didn’t go with the .5

The snowblower still works great over 20 years later. The snowblower is belt driven from the machine. The driver arrangement is all factory.

@@borivers9514do you have a link to the parts you used?

@@JayGeeJay I don't have any links to the parts. The snowblower and subframe mount for the snowblower are RAD brand, and the subframe was specifically made to fit onto the Great Dane Chariot. The cab is a walk behind snowblower cab which I retrofitted to fit onto the Great Dane Chariot.

@@borivers9514 not sure I have heard of a RAD brand. Is it a complete kit for the Chariot models? Mine is a 61

@@JayGeeJay RAD is out of Canada. Not sure what products they still make. The subframe kit I received had included adapter plates specifically for the Chariot 61. I purchased and have been using the snowblower unit since 2002.

I bought it at Ramer Small Engine in Hayward, WI about 20 years ago. I am not sure if they still sell the model I have or a model that would work for your Arians Ikon. It might be worth contacting them, though. Good luck.

I purchased the cab at the Blain's Farm and Fleet in WI. The brand of the cab I have is "Classic Accessories". I am not sure which model it is for sure, though.

The blower is a RAD brand that came with custom brackets to fit the Great Dane mower. The cab is a walk-behind snowblower cab I purchased from a local farm surplus store, and I then just mounted it with a couple clamps so it would flip out of the way.

@@borivers9514 Sweet. That cab is a fantastic idea. I'll look into it. I have plenty of time. We just purchased 4 acres to build a new log home.. and I'm looking at zero turns now. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the new Ariens Ikon mower. Thx again.

@@randomstuffwithjoe That Ariens should be a nice mower. Hopefully you can find a snowblower option that will work for it. My mower and snowblower attachment is 20 years old and still going strong.

It is a 1998 Skandic Super Wide Track w/500cc engine. Yes in low range. Amazing pulling power in low range. As long as you can get traction it will pull the load.
