thanks for your intrest Dave:
I don't understand what trouble your having getting a tripple tree.
I got the (HHI) Hog Halter inc. tripple trees from bazooka for $695 instead of the easy steer from champion at $1200.00. They are a well made product. There is a caption at the right hand of the forum page that would take you to the hog halters site and tell you if they make the trees.
Bazooka is the resident raked tripple tree guru.
I am going to shoot you a private message ok?
