If you go to the point I mentioned they have two HRS-2s as a direct comparison with identical loading internally, then add 800lb underslung to the RoR machine. I can’t see how you’re coming to your conclusion?

If anything it would show that the modified machine is lifting 800lbs more plus the weight of the ROR equipment, but that’s stretching assumptions with the info available.
