Rate if the top good guy have the torque arm stabilizer with the 6 guys
will give the same 60ft 25g ?
There is no difference. The capacity of a tower is a function of
the leg strength, which doesn't change no matter what the guying
configuration is.
Actually (and this is an engineering question) the capacity is
probably slightly reduced since you're putting much more load on the legs due
to doubling the guying forces with the torque arm stabilizer, also known as
a star bracket.
