Forgive my ignorance but is it a big deal getting your lunch box up into one of those puppies?

Regards, CD


Afterthought- I guess the new style lunch boxes with a shoulder strap would work.

I hate to ask this but..... What makes a roadbuilder a roadbuilder and not just an excavator with armour/guards?

A road builder has a high and wide undercarriage, usually the cab is on a tilting riser so it can be tipped for transport and all the usual shovel logger guarding installed plus bottom rollers installed for tope rollers.
