Probably just enough to fill it
But seriously what is the struck capacity? 1 cuf equals 7.48 gallons.
if its 10 cubic feet it will hold about 75 gallons before its sloshed around and spills out

Haha guess that's true haha, no idea how many cubic feet it is . It's a 6 ft bucket but that's about all I know. Hoping someone who uses one foray e watering animals may be able to help from exsperience .

Cant help with specifics but the kubota 6ft for the m series is listed at 15.5 cubic feet in my loader owners manual which would put it a about a 100 gallons. Does your manual have the details

Not many, the bucket has holes drilled half way up it. I tried covering them up and it slowed the leak, but carrying water in the bucket is something you really don't want to have to do.

I'd try strapping a couple of large plastic food grade barrels into the bucket vertically and let out the water with a spigot and hose or just the spigot. Or rain barrels from TSC or H Depot or such...
You could keep them on pallets and put them into and out of the bucket when empty. Then fill while tilted back some in the bucket, then transport to site and empty, rinse, repeat....

hauling water is no fun...summer or winter...hope your reason for doing so is quickly resolved.

Or wants to take a bath!:cool2:

 

[texasjohn]

cows drink a lot, every day, be glad its winter....lots more when it is 100ｰ

Amazing how you can pour 55 gal into trough and it's gone before you can get barrell stowed:cow::cow::cow::cowboy::tractor::flask:

Big bulls and momma cows can easily drink more than 20 gallons a day in the summer. I've seen some figures say closer to 30.

 

[texasjohn]

matches studies I have seen and personal experience.

Last summer when my wife planted a new tree and we had no rain, I used the bucket to water it. Going up and down a hill most of the water sloshed out.

 

[Jesse masterson]

Yea! Know what you mean , if it holds 100 gal only 50 make it there, thanks for the helpful comments.

 

[texasjohn]

Any materials around to either make a cover to redirect the slosh back in, or for baffels to cut down on slosh?

Just to be a smart Alec ======= wouldn't it be easier to bring the cattle to the creek????

 

[Jesse masterson]

If I owned the property around the creek, yea it would, I can use the road to the creek. But I understand the reason to question

 

[Gil Case]

I'm just messin' with you. I knew there was a reason, but I thought it was funny that no one asked why the cattle couldn't go to the creek.
I've hauled concrete in my bucket- you have got to go real slow not to spill a lot of it.

No problem I'm used to verbal abuse(I'm married) lol
