Loader how to measure a fel capacity

[ncnurseryman]

Built a one cubic yard box (no jokes on the lack of my building skills, please). Add one scoop of mulch and it comes to...

 

[ncnurseryman]

Just a bit over half a cubic yard. Only 17 inches from the top after leveling it out but not packing it down. Call it a half yard I guess.

Carl_nh got it right at half a yard. You're the next contestant on the price is right. Come on down.

I see you got it figured out, but I'm curious if you have access to a truck scale nearby?

As winner he is entitled to 0.5 CY of fresh manure! Congrats Carl you are going to be full of $h&t.

My Stoll FC 350 FEL has a 54" bucket that is not as deep as yours...
Stoll classifies it at 1/3 cubic yard...
The extra depth of your bucket has increased your capacity to 1/2 cubic yard...
Good job on getting the exact amount...

Well since I'm in sales there's not much room left.

I be right down! Just another sugggestion when I saw your nice "box" you might want to keep that as a display to 1) show how much a 1/2 yard is, and two, maybe cut your "box" in half and show another type mulch?

A local nursery to us has a wooden bin/rack with all their products - dirt, compost, mulch stone with the price per yard etc so customers can see (and feel) before they buy..
