14 Best Farm Stands North Fork (2023 Updated)

I needed a new workshop stand after my old one annoyed me for the last time with its lack of collapsibility – it was like having a ship anchor in the garage that snagged on everything, greedily absorbed space, and wasn’t easily transported! The Park PCS-10.

2 certainly overcame these problems. Despite the description of ‘home repair stand’ which made me feel it may be a bit light and flimsy, this stand is solid and feels professional in standard. The unit takes a short while to assemble, but the result is robust and secure.

The legs fold up neatly and quickly and when collapsed, and although still a reasonable size, it props neatly in a corner or adjusts to a shorter length to go in the car boot. It is rapid to deploy, with the minimum of fuss due to the quick-release clamps.

The top tube clamp to secure the bike works well, although the shape of the jaws lend more towards circular or oval tubing, the match to my carbon bike being a little off (but still secure enough). The space and access all around the stand are good, and the tool tray, whilst very small, is useful.

I would like to see a simple handlebar stabiliser solution built-in or included. This would perfect what is already a great solution. I look forward to using outside in my garden, once the sleet, rain, wind and darkness all go away!.

For decades now my bicycle maintenance routine has always started with the ol’ flip-a-roo. Worse fates could befall a man, of course. but no more shall I suffer in this way! In a world where everything seems to be made cheaper and more disposable, the unboxing of the 10.

3 was a breath of fresh air. The quality of the product was immediately evident, and only proved moreso with use. This was money well spent, and if you do all your own maintenance as well, I am sure you will agree.

If I had to level any complaints at all, it would be with folded storage. While it collapses easily and reasonably compact, I have yet to find a place to store it that feels somewhat awkward.

I actually used the pitchfork today to pick up some small limbs and vines. The pitchfork held the items well and was easy to unload. i am not sure how well it would work picking up manure as the tines are kind of far apart.

I am pleased with the pitchfork as I plan to use it picking up brush. I think it would work well picking up hay. The pitchfork seems very well made.

I brought this stand with 305mm mitre saw few days ago. Brackets are made with hard plastic and can be damage if you frequently remove it. I may experience the same thing like others who already faced if I didn’t had any patient as a first time user.

I watched so many useful youtube videos to find what is the best way to install the saw to this stand. Managed to install the saw at one go by following instructions on youtube. But my biggest fear now does this brackets are strong enough to hold such a heavy machine? If the bracket is broken during the time of operating the machine and hurt myself and the machine too.

Will that damage cover by the warranty of this stand? If this bracket made by some kind of metal this risk can be eliminated. I totally forgotten to check review of this product because I was fully focus on comparing the Saw with anther brand which go neck to neck with DeWalt.

I can see the brackets can buy for 129/- which means they were being problematic or DeWalt being cheeky to make money? If I saw the review before then I may not buy this product. I am sorry I cannot recommend this product to anyone due to my fears as I mentioned before.

I just finished assembling my DWX723 Miter Saw Stand. It is the longer, heavy duty one with moveable material support arms, saw mounting brackets, and all the hardware. It is great. The table itself sets up in less than a minute.

The same for folding it up to put it away. I have mounted my saw on the brackets and then clipped it to the table with the included quick disconnects. The saw is solid. The stand is solid. The outwardly canted legs ensue little or no wobble.

It is a very stable platform. The brackets ensure that the weight of the saw is well balanced on the platform (forward and back). The material support arms are easy to adjust for length of stock. The elevation of the support arms lines up perfectly with my saw.

I am ready to start my next project: replacing the wooden louvres used for crawl space ventilation. It is well engineered, fabricated, and assembled. It is excellent value considering cost, quality, and functionality.

I bought two of these stands to replace traditional hang-on stands I’ve been using for years. I’m to the age where I need more comfort, and this stand definitely fits the bill for comfort; my back and butt aren’t sore after hunting from it.

The stand was easy to put together with good instructions and went in the tree as easy as any other hang-on I own. The stand has a platform leveling system that I needed with both trees. However, the leveling system only works with trees that lean forward; it will not work with trees that lean back.

It would be nice to have a leveling system that works with both types of trees. The seat also has a leveling system that makes the seat parallel to the platform. However, this can cause issues on a tree that leans forward because then the backrest contacts the tree causing you to lean forward.

Good in theory but not in reality. The seat design is horrible for folding the seat up. The seat is hinged on the rear frame support post and the seat back frame is attached to the seat frame. So when you fold the seat up, the seat back also goes up.

On a tree that leans forward, the seat back support bar gets wedged against the tree and must be pulled away from tree before the seat will fold all the way up – two-step process. This takes too much time, is too much effort, and is too much movement.

This could cause issues on a buck trotting in looking for does. Terrible design! The seat back should be stationary. The platform also really narrows from the support cables back to the tree. I like the rear of the stand to have some width to it so I can step there first and then around the cable to the front of the platform when transitioning from climbing stick to stand.

This stand does not really allow you to do that, which caused me to rotate the stand closer to my climbing stick. I’m sure Hawk probably did this to save weight, but this most likely isn’t a stand you will be packing in for every hunt.

Lastly, I would have liked this stand to have come with a ratchet strap instead of a cam buckle. It also really needs another strap (ratchet) for the bottom of the platform to really make it solid. I will keep hunting from them for their comfort, but Hawk could easily make improvements to make this a five-start stand.

Sturdy: yes Easy to use: No. Weight: 17 lbs. not even close. I don’t know what the actual weight is, but it is at least twice the weight of my friends 20lb Summit Climber. Once you have the 3rd stick placed, the weight of the stand itself is much heavier then 17 llbs.

I’m used to carrying around 40 lbs in a pack, and this is much closer to that 40 lbs. Getting the stand in place while standing on the 3rd stick and using a lineman’s rig, is like wrestling with a 40 lb unruly child.

You almost need 2 people. If it was, in fact, 17 lbs, it would not be that difficult. Even if you exclude the climbing sticks, it STILL is not 17 lbs. But it is sturdy. Just don’t plan on back packing it into your hunting spot and still expect to back back or haul a deer out at the same time.

Plan on multiple trips.

I recently bought this stand because I’ve been interested in the mesh comfort seat models that are gaining popularity. Opted for the Hawk brand because their products are often decent from my experience with their smaller products like their hoist rope and bow hanger, and because it was significantly cheaper than the Millenniums.

First impression was everything looked good however there were numerous scratches and scuffs in the powder coating due to poor packaging. I also noticed a couple spots where the coating had chipped down to bare metal.

I chose the box with the least amount of damage so I’d hate to see the stands that were in the beat up boxes. During assembly my opinion only got worse on this stand. I was shorted one large washer, luckily I had one in the tool chest to complete the assembly.

In the instructions, the picture on the box and website, and any YouTube video I could find on the product, there was no designation which seat bar goes where and they were not identical. I guess you have to assemble it, hang it in a tree, try it out and hope you didn’t put the smaller bar under your thighs because that could be a painful sit.

In that event, you get to take down your stand and take it back to the shop to disassemble it before putting it back together and hanging it again. In putting these seat bars on the stand, they fit so tightly that you peel the coating right off parts of the stand down to bare metal trying to wedge these seat bars in place (yes they are the same length so these issue is not caused by having a bar in the wrong place, I tried it both ways).

There also must be a few different versions of this stand because the model that I had had more assembly with screws than the instructions showed so my stand didn’t match the instructions and I just took a guess here.

Had initially thought I should’ve gone with the helium model for many reasons; just seems like a nicer stand, but I don’t see how the construction of that stand would change any from just a different metal frame used.

Plus I’d feel way worse paying $200+ for a stand with these issues I’ve experienced. I shouldn’t have had these issues for what I paid. I wouldn’t let the higher cost of the Millenniums stop me next time.

I bought this climber for fall archery this year ‘22. I have never used or even tried a climber in my life, usually used stands already set up, blinds, and occasionally just hunt off the ground. I got on it for the first time yesterday after my father went over everything with me on how to set up safely, what to expect, what to look for on the tree.

He went up the tree before me on the stand and talked me through as he went up. I knew it was pretty much common sense how it worked but being as my first climber I’m not going to think of all issues I could run into and I seem to like to learn the hard way.

I got in it and started up the tree. I became addicted. I thought I would be the type to prefer to sit and bring the bottom up being a female at 5’ 1”. I preferred to use my arms to bring the bottom up because I couldn’t get my butt out far enough to sit and bring the base up with me my legs were too short.

Taking my time up the tree and making sure the teeth bit in I couldn’t believe how quickly I scaled 15ft. I got the stand secured and tried out the seat which was so comfortable I am going to have to fight falling asleep in fall.

I wasn’t thrilled with the harness that came with it, because it was a pain to untangle. I ended up buying a Muddy harness separate. Which changes no view on the stand itself. I like that it’s light weight.

The backpack straps did not look comfortable at all but surprisingly we’re not bad by any means. Overall the stand is light weight. Being a small female I was able to use it very well and am already in love with it and plan to keep playing around with it to get ready for fall archery.

It was worth every penny.

I had never used a climbing stand in my life, just a ground blind and ladder stand guy. After careful consideration and research I decided to roll the dice and purchase the Mini Viper. I’m glad I did! I put it on a tree for the first time in my back yard and learned how to use it.

I guess I spent half and hour going up and down the tree multiple times just to get the “hang” of it. The stand is comfortable, light weight, and quiet just like the description said. My first sit on a hunt was 3 1/2 hours and I got so comfortable I thought about taking a nap! I am 6′ 2″ tall and weigh in at 190 lbs with warm clothes, rifle, and pack.

I had no back, leg, or hip discomfort the whole time I was in it. I am upgrading the safety harness; however, because it’s much to difficult to use compared to other options on the market. I can’t say enough great things about it! As a new-b climbing stand owner, I believe Summit Mini Viper is the way to go for compact, low weight, quiet, and comfortable climber.

I hope this review helps you all. Overall great investment for what I love to do- HUNT!.

Very comfortable, quiet stand. I now own two of them. Fairly simple to assemble. I’m please with all the nylon washers, and the fact all the hardware was actually there. I’ve had problems with hardware missing with stands I’ve purchased from other companies in the past.

A little on the heavy side, I wish it was offered in an aluminum version. I really like the cruzr bracket that is made to go with this stand. It helps make hanging the stand a lot easier and safer.

My second one of these just snaped at the pivot. the first one I thought it might have been something I did but did not really think so, the second one I was very careful always gently setting my bow down.

Will not by this brand again. (Works great till it doesn’t) need to be Engineered with different materials in the week areas. Very disappointed with this product.

Might fit narrow bows great, but the red rubber ripped on mine the first time I tried getting it around the limbs on my Bear Divergent. Not adjustable at all either. I wish I would have spent a couple bucks more on a Pine Ridge stand.

Jack came pretty quickly, so that is appreciated, I have an SAS Rage, and it works perfectly, not the most expensive bow, but my first compound and wanted something to keep it safe when Im not using it, I didnt want to hang it, so this fits my needs well.

I like the rubber where it contacts my bow and it keeps the bow pretty stable and its well made.

Here’s why these are a terrible design: (1) it’s too flimsy to support the washer securely. The entire thing flexes as the washer drum moves heavier loads and that movement is basically tripled at the washer which results in out-of-balance spin cycles; (2) the washer/dryer mounts to the pedestal by capturing the feet of the washer/dryer.

This results in a little unavoidable play (much worse with the dryer). The washer/dryer should BOLT directly to the pedestal, like in my prior set of Samsung washer/dryers did. Why they changed this baffles me.

It’s a terrible way to mount the washer, which needs to be basically mounted to stone; (3) the drawers are not tall enough to hold most of the laundry-related stuff I have standing up. I have to lean everything over at an angle to get the door closed.

That’s ridiculous. it should be tall enough for your average container of Gain or whatever to stand up in there, at least, let alone a normal bleach container.

Caldwell thought of it all when they created the Ultimate Target Stand. My son and I recently took our new Ultimate Target Stand out for an afternoon of shooting in the mountains. After getting the target stand up, I realized I had forgot to bring tacks for attaching the target to the stand.

I was impressed and thankful to find that Caldwell had included clips for attaching targets in a nifty compartment onboard the Ultimate Target Stand. Easy to set up and take down, the stand gets pretty small for easy storage.

Great product, highly recommend!.

Cheap item, easy to assemble. It has 2 spikes on the bottom you can push into the ground with your foot to keep the stand steady. It comes with a cheap plastic backing to attach targets to that will get shot up and need to be replaced, but the plastic backing is a cheap item to buy.

I ordered 1 stand online, the box it was shipped in was big enough for 20 stands. The cardboard gives me more target backers. The base of the stand is plastic, I hit it with a bad jerk-down shot from my pocket 9 mm.

Yes, I suck with that gun. The bullet just punched a hole through the base, the stand survived and is still intact and usable. I just kept on shooting with my. 357 and. 308, I’m a better shot with the bigger guns.

I think a bigger round hitting the base would only make a bigger hole, the stand would survive.

I love this thing. Where I live, there’s lots of public land, so having a target stand that is light and portable makes so much sense. If it’s hard to practice, then I won’t. Anything I can do to make practice easier and faster, I am all about.

Shooters of all levels, I recommend this product.

I found this stand a bit more challenging to assemble than I expected, due to very tight fits (which is necessary for the seat and stand to raise/lower properly). The washers were extremely difficult to get into place.

With that being said, once I got the stand in the tree, it has served me well. I’ve had 2 sits so far, and took a deer with a bow on my second. I recommend the stand.

I have hunted the Muddy Prodigy stand & the previous make of the Boss XL. Both are good stands. It seems Muddy has morphed the best of both into this new model of the Boss XL. I purchased 4. Great platform, cables, supports, comfortable seat.

Sits well, sturdy & no unnecessary fluff. Assembly required, which is a good safety practice for tree stands as you (the assembler & user) know it’s put together correctly, & for the most part assembly went smoothly.

However, the new seat support bar design is a communist plot. Charles Atlas would not have been able to get the support bar in between the seat frame bars without a special “expansion” tool. I did follow their written guidance, yet it only works if you use an additional “speader tool,” which is not included.

I made a tool from some 1/2″ threaded pipe & long nuts. Had to place bolts/nuts in facing holes on frame bars to keep the tool in place while spreading the bars. Would have rated a 5 if not for this design flaw; they should have used the same seat design as the Prodigy stand.

Once assembled, they are fantastic.

I used this stand last season. It’s significantly better than the smaller ones I’d been using for years previous. The seat cushion is excellent, though the strings to tie it off are a bit cheap and can be pulled out of the cushion.

The attachment method is fast, easy, and well designed. The finish is durable, there is no rust on my stand. The size of the platform and seat are generous without being overly large. The bent up bar at the end is a very comfortable foot rest.

I would recommend this stand to anyone trying to stay within a budget, and wants a relatively compact and portable tree stand option.

I have a small herd of alpacas and I bought 2 of these, 1 for each barn. They’re lightweight and do a good job of picking up alpaca manure. While the fork head is pretty strong, they do occasionally break, usually at the base on the handle.

My only gripe is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to purchase just the fork head without the handle, so I have an extra handle I can’t really use. Otherwise, I would have given this 5 stars.

This smaller manure fork is just what I was looking for. The true handle keeps the fork steady; the moveable cylinder slides somewhat easily–but I’m a bit worried it will get loose if moved around a lot; and the aluminum shaft makes it super light.

This is not a fork for digging up the wet spot, digging manure out of high grass, breaking up the corners in stalls or stomping on. Its great for manure “dropped” where the farrier is working, when you are in the wash rack or for SCOOPING on a packed surface.

My only complaint is that the price went up before I decided to buy it.

Light! Makes the job easier. I have owned three different scoopers, metal, big scoop, wider scoop and now this aluminum scoop. Favorite by far!

I ordered this online. Looking forward to fiberglass handle which title states. Upon picking it up I was given a wood handle. I explained it to my store and showed title description of it being fiberglass handle.

Flimsy response from the store that UPC on my order matched what the wood handle. Then when I read online description , it mentioned wood handle and fiberglass handle intchangeably. Error on website and Ace Hardware.

I didn’t want to get a refund and wait or go somewhere else to get this specific tool so I said I guess I’ll just live with it hopefully this wood handle will last longer than my other brand fork. Specifically chose fiberglass handles on my tools because of where I live is wet and hot and wood handles tend to snap after some usage.

Please go check to make sure you’re getting the handle you want whether it’s fiberglass or wood. Also I just need a 32 gallon garbage can lid. They used to post that on the website now it’s gone and I don’t have to buy another garbage can just the lid.

This is the last time I’ll do an online order.
