Received the unit this afternoon. Took it for a spin. Very cool, very cool machine.

We're gonna get into the vid thing once the flow starts again. There is a vid at the start of the thread and some on youtube. You can demo one for a couple of weeks. There is a little magic in these things.

I have had one now for a few months, I will agree that on a big spread tree you are up and down alot. But getting to the top without expending energy and getting a nice tip to begin with is great. Earlier in the week I worked on a oak that had the central leader broken out some years ago and four leaders took up the role of the top, I wraptored up each lead and pruned on my way down, Groundie had the rope ready to go on the next lead as I was getting back to terra firma.
The wraptor will change the way you look tree work in general. I promise.
If you don't have a bigshot, go ahead and make that a part of the wraptor kit.

Wraptor
I borrowed one to show at a Recreational Climbing Workshop in Florida. Some of those tree climbing schools are helping physically impaired folks experience the unique perspective of being up in a tree. The Wraptor would be a help in that endeavor.
I have one of the machines right now as I was going to go to the NH GTG but that fell through for me. I came down with vertigo; on meds now and the world isn't spinning as much now. I had just cabled and braced a large double oak that day and so glad it didn't hit me during that.
This week I will be showing the Wraptor to a tree company in NE Maryland. After that I ship it to the next person who Paul has lined up to try a demo unit.
It is compact, simple, efficient, not that obnoxious (just keep the exhaust away from you and downwind as you would your saw), and a lot of energy saved getting up the tall ones.
Try it you'll like it!

Need to change your sig line now Guy to "go smokeless (except for your Wraptor)"
I am loving mine. Drive around looking at trees and the best crotch to shoot for the free ride.

That thing looks pretty darn cool, I cant climb anymore from a few injuries, that thing might change all that.
Does this guy have a list of demo sites, didn't see that on the website, or am I blind as well!

We're getting another ten inches of snow on top of the 24 we had already. I had the local fellow come by and see the Wraptor and he was impressed; still said he'd probably wait a month until his cash flow starts up in earnest and then buy. I'll ship it out to the next person on the list as soon as I can get to the post office.

Have him send you a demo to try out yourself like JPS is doing.
How is everyone storing and transporting it? I think I am going with the crate to keep it from falling over and getting wet on the ground. It fits nicely in the single size. Also when in the pickup bed I may lock it to a tiedown. Can't stand to take that kind of loss.
