Hey Guys,
I'm just wondering about the volume per Loader Bucket scoop...
I have a Case 580 w/4 in 1 loader bucket...
I'm guessing with a good bucket full (Heaping )
I'd have a yard of dirt/sand ?
Until I get some loads from a place that weighs the truck... I'll need to estimate the load.
It will help if I count the scoops somewhat...
My Truck will haul 5/6 yards...
The Truck and Backhoe weigh the same... Bout 15,500 lbs
Truck GVW is 33,000 lbs
.
Maybe the Bucket full is only 3/4 yard because of "Fluff"
Maybe that rule applies to Dirt more than Sand ? (40% expansion with fresh dug dirt)
I'm finally getting close to WORKING this Hoe...
and this end is new to me.
.
More paperwork is the only thing stopping me from hitting the road.
Insurance and trailer title change and registration fees $$$
Gotta Fly...
