BX23S with QA standard bucket. Any idea of capacity in yards? Seems to be about 5 bucket per yard?

Bucket capacity struck is close to 5 cf (4.9 cf) so you will need 5+ to get a yard - now if you load is heaped (6 cy) , you make it under 5 trips!;)

My manual says 4.6cf 'struck', 6cf 'heaped' for the SSQA bucket.
In reality it's never big enough for light material, too big for heavy stuff.....;)
hmm there's 27 cuft in a cuyd.... so 5 buckets to a yard, more or less...
