jwwright Report post Posted April 1, 2010 I finished this ranch cutter in the shop this morning. I built it for a customer who raises and trains cowhorses, as well as looking after some cattle. JW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAP Report post Posted April 1, 2010 Nice job JW! What differentiates the ranch cutter from your others? Horn, bars, groundseat? I've never been around any. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwwright Report post Posted April 2, 2010 GAP............this particular ranch cutter has a little higher front end ( 8 1/2"), and the bars in this tree are a little narrower and thinner...........but not as much as many straight cutter trees. The seat has a bit less rise to it than the typical ranch saddle I would build, maybe.....depending upon customer preferences. I have built quite a few ranch cutters with double D rigs in the past, and most ranch cutters are built with that style of rigging. I really prefer a flat plate for a lot of reasons, and this customer agreed, so that's what he got. The tree in this saddle will hold up to moderate roping, but due to the narrower, thinner bars, I wouldn't recommend it for roping big stock. Mark , Thanks.
