LA463 volume

Anyone know the exact volume of the LA463 loader bucket?

My notes say 8.1/9.9 cubic feet, struck/heaped for both the 60" pin on bucket and the 66" QA bucket. I'm not sure where I got those numbers from so I can't guarantee them 100% but I was interested in this about a year ago when I converted my LA463 to the newer 463-1 with the L2230A quick coupler. I remember being surprised that they had the same capacity and different widths but the depth changes with the width.

Thank you.

Many buckets are that way to protect the machines they are on. With 60" buckets being able to carry up to two times the amount that these buckets can with the skid steer quick disconnects we often find a poor match when customers are having operation problems.

I just received this response from Kubota.

The dealer I purchased the tractor from told me the volume was "about 3/4 of a yard". I thought he was off a bit.
