My TC30 is coming Saturday with a 60 inch bucket. How many cubic feet of material will it hold? I guess my question is for loading mulch which is sold by the yard. So how many full buckets would it take?
New Holland used to list that 60" bucket at 11.1 cubic ft. heaped capacity. At that rate you would need 2.43 bucket fulls per yard of mulch.
However, the struck capacity on that bucket is 9.0 cubic ft. Therefore a nice, even THREE buckets equal a yard.
<font color="blue"> What is the struck capacity? What does that mean? </font>
Stick a spoon in a coffee can and load as much coffee on the spoon as you can. Now take a knife and draw it across the spoon to create a 'level teaspoon' or a 'struck teaspoon'.
