Only thing that is missing - the box on end where you dump dirt in before conveying to different place.

Because you normally use an excavator to put the dirt on the conveyor belt.

A great addition would be a flat conveyor belt which could be loaded on the whole length instead of only at the end. It don't have to be as long as the Frank, half of the length of the (unextended) Frank would be enough.
Chaning position of the excavator don't need to reposition the Franks.

There originally was a box on it but they removed it so it could be used with a dumper as well, maybe I could request on the community's behalf that they add it into the shop as an add-on for it.

The only problem I have with the Frankenstein, is that it's powered by a separate engine, unlike the real one which is powered by it's own engine and hydraulic system.

That would be nice - we could add it or remove as we wish.

If using frank then you don't need the conveyor

[CodeHorizon_CoffeeBean]

Yeah, franks can load direct into the washplants.

[jinxster]

Headmod an add-on for the franks would be sweet... would the devs consider putting a low level conveyor 'extension' to the back of the frank which would allow us to load it from further away rather than have to drive up to it (especially in corners of claims).

I highly doubt they will as this means making a new model and i simply dont think they are in the right place to be adding on little extra conveyors, as much as i would love them to add it plus many other things.
