How many yards bucket

[SVcummins]

How many yards is my loader bucket . Its 7 feet wide 2 feet tall 18 o inches front back

 

[Jim.ME]

7ft x 2ft x 1.5ft = 21 cu ft, or about .78 cu yd struck level (27 cu ft in a cu yd.)

 

[Janicholson]

About .6 Cubic yards. A guesstimate. Radius and angles as well as the bumpouts for the pivot points. Jim

 

[Fritz Maurer]

W x H x L divided by 27

Bucket on my Case Super E is 1 1/8 cubic yards. That is about average size for a regular size backhoe loader. Yours is probably about 1 cubic yard. It should hold about a ton of loose fill.

 

[Tramway Guy]

7x2x1.5 =21 cubic feet. A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so your bucket is 21/27 or 7/9 cubic yards, or 0.78 yards.

Your bucket dimensions don't account for the taper but for what you gave there is 21 cu/ft of area or .77 yards.

Thanks thats what I came up with

 

[SVcummins]

Thanks everyone I was wanting to confirm my Math

Sometimes you see buckets rated as struck pr heaped capacity. I think you would have a yard heaped.

 

[SVcummins]

Your probably right .

 

[SVcummins]

A ton is about right 5 yards on my truck is about 10,000 pounds which Is 5 to 7 buckets

(quoted from post at 22:08:50 03/22/22) Sometimes you see buckets rated as struck pr heaped capacity. I think you would have a yard heaped.

johnhof is correct. The "RATED" capacity is heaped, according to the SAE standard. So your bucket is one yard as Sam Womer posted.

Nice looking rig! The things we ask our tractors to do! I would go a little overboard and grease that front axle OFTEN!

 

[SVcummins]

I keep it greased regularly grease is a lot cheaper than worn out parts
