Loader Cubic yards of a 6' wide bucket (JD 553 FEL loader)?

just do it, saw dust is light and it gives you an excuse to use your tractor. We get it brought in by the tri-axle load for our horses and usually just use the tractor bucket to put it in the stalls. :thumbsup:

I agree ^^^^^ it seems to me people are too dependent on the internet to make decisions. A typical 6' bucket is about a half yard capacity and add a few more scoops for clean up.

Yup. that is how I figured it. I came up with about 25

for reference, here's the chart,
1/2 yd is a pretty good estimate

Jeesh, I wasn't looking for the net to make a decision, I was looking for hard to find information on bucket capacity. Theres all sorts of info on lift capacity, but not much on whether I'd be making 15 trips or 60.

Lay out some ropes, put a tarp over them, dump the sawdust on the tarp, hook onto the ropes and pull the load to where you want it!:thumbsup:

Follow up: just get a 10 yard load instead of a 30yd, it comes on a 4x4 1 ton that can dump anywhere.
