Bucket capacity

[djm1204]

I looked but did not find the information I was looking for. Does anyone know how much material the loader bucket carries. I am wondering about how many yards ? Is a full bucket a Yard ? 1/2 a yard ?

Thanks

Knowing what tractor/loader and bucket size would help us a little to help you...

Example, this doc shows some info for BX tractors: http://www.kubota.com/product/bx1860/pdf/bx60_series_spec.pdf

Shows the bucket struck capacity at 4.2 or 4.9 cu/ft depending on the model.

Good luck!

My bad for posting when I am tired.

The tractor is a L4600 HST with the LA764 loader.

I went to the specifications page of Kubota.Com before making my original post and I see they show the weight capacity of loader. I was looking for the amount of material such as 1/2 a yard, so I would know if I needed to move 10 yards of dirt it would mean say 20 buckets - or if I need to move 250 yards of sand to make a pad to build a house, I was wondering if it would mean 500 buckets, 1000 buckets ? just wondering !

Thanks and Merry Christmas to all !

I couldn't find the capacity on the tractor data site, I was curious what it was in my bucket.

I found the capacity for the LA524 loader with the square 60" rigid bucket holds 7.8 cu.ft struck and 9.2 cu.ft heaped in the manual that came with it. The loader manual not the tractor manual. Check your manual if you have it.

Thank you - something I should have done myself - so will take appx 3 bucket loads to equal a yard.

Merry Christmas !
