My first experience with a FB saddle back in the early 90's ended with Magargal and I swapping lower belts, his traditional Sierra Moreno lower belt, for my new Sierra Moreno FB lower belt, he liked FB's, I hated them.
But my opinion of them was biased because 90% of my work was removals where stability in my saddle was king, particularly during cut n chuck limbing and snap cut trunk sections thrown into the LZ. Though I could see why a FB saddle might appeal to a pruner due to its greater side to side maneuverability, they were not my cup of tea for either pruning or removals due to my love of stability in the saddle regardless.
So I'd like to know if there are any other removal experts out there like Magargal who prefer doing removals with FB saddles, and why they prefer them during removal ops?
