Crazy as it seems. I keep thinking a shunter is really a full rig version of rotary rig, which seems more advantageous to a tacker, which brings...
I am slowly getting it. But pics are small, besides both seem to be tackers, not shunters, so I am sort of lost.
Stumble +1. Figured was obvious, but sometimes, as noted, we get to "over-working" project and forget "simple" and consequences. Good point,...

Why we have outriggers; if you don't mind a bit of humor? Brian E, very interesting topic. Mr. Speer, interesting insights. Much appreciated by...
