But cement is only one part of the mix.. Could sand be carried in longer hoppers? Dang. As much as I hate to leave the cold and the snow, I think I may just have to go to Southern California and see for myself! Wayne ~Added: Took another look at the photo. There is a mix of hopper lengths, some short, some long.
