When we designed the QuadraBag for Jim Bounds of COOP ,
We took the Ken Rose's design and moved the bags up higher and larger bag.
Result was that the handling remained the same as the Harrison, but with a
smoother ride.
Also we operate on 80psi vs 100 for the Harrison and handle the additional
weight that JimBounds wanted.
