Hi Max, at the small operator level, I kinda think of it in terms of what can one man do alone, what can two men do alone....., etc.... For a one man box, I think Peter has optimized better than anything I've seen.....that's why i built em 8)~8-)~:cool: For me, one man means something in the 75lb camp, with a size that isn't too unwieldy. If I were going to cross this theshhold, I figure might as well go to 2 man cause I can't move it easy enough anymore...... say up to 150lb.....but I'd definitely want twice the perforance of my 1 man.
