Bucket capacity in yds

[GreatWhitehunter]

Does anyone know how to figure yd capacity of loader buckets? I'm trying to find out if my 61" loader bucket is 1/2-3/4 yd. So I can load mulch for resale. I tried Deere's site but couldn't find anything. Thanks

The link above shows how....quite an exercise indeed.

Why not just buy a few bags of mulch or sand, sold by volume and pour bags in the bucket until you get the amount you would be filling to. Just don't bags too large.

Easiest might be to fill with buckets of water - if you know size and number of buckets can then calculate easily.

Well, from me research it seems a 60" materials bucket is about 1/3 of a cubic yards.
