Vol ume of FEL bucket?

[tony3542]

Can any of you good folks point me in the right direction of finding the capacity of my bucket?It is a 302 loader on a B-7610 tractor.I'm sure there is a chart somewhere.I have a small nursery and want to sell compost,so this will mean $$$.
thanks,
tony

See the Loader Specification section here -
Jennings Equipment - Kubota B-Series

They show 6.2 cubic feet with a 48" bucket.

Strange the Kubota specifications don't mention capacities on the LA302.

I will say that the LA 211 loader is on the BX 48", similar to the bucket on the LA302. Kubota lists its capacity as 5.0 CF struck and 6.1 CF heaped.

With simililar lift capacities (same universe, I mean) I would figure these to be a good start for your bucket.

I saw the kind of bucket you are talking about at a local nursery on a BX. I looked like it held about twice as much as the normal bucket, and was being used for mulch, and other light materials. I suspect that the local Kubota dealer might have fabricated it for them, but if I get a chance I will ask, and take pictures.....

Yse Sir it did. It stated 6.2 cubic feet (heaping).

Divided by 9 = 0.68 cubic yard.

Divided by 9 = 0.68 cubic yard.

Then divide by 3 ..... = 0.226 cubic yard.

There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard. (3x3x3 = 27.)
