Dennis-- Faced with a similar decision several years ago, for a Rohn Fold-Over, I got the Fulton 2500 with the optional brake. However, I think the Dutton-Lanson is also quit good. If I remember righ

Dan- If it means anything and will remove any blame he wants to heap on you, I can assure him (and you may quote me) that your opinion did not influence me at all. I knew all long that his "Engineeri

JimI usually agree with you, but not this time. I am seriously considering either a cage or a fan, for real reasons. I'm 82, and Iris wont let me climb, and I'm limited to something I can hoist on a
