Bucket Selection
To use the table, find the material to be loaded and its maximum density. Then
multiply the volumetric rating of the attachment by the material density to deter-
mine if the attachment can safely be used. See page 88 for a listing of attach-
ments and their ratings.
Where the material density is listed as a range (snow at 15-50 lbs./ft
3
, for
example), always use the maximum density (50 lbs./ft
3
in this example) for
making calculations. Also, see the following examples.
Example 1:
Clay (density of 80-100 lbs./cu. ft.) is to be hauled with a V270
model skid loader using a 70 in. dirt/construction bucket (SAE J742-rated heaped
capacity of 16.9 cu. ft.). With this bucket, the V270 has a rating of 2700 lbs. Mul-
tiplying the maximum density of the material by the bucket capacity (100 x 16.9)
yields a load that weighs 1690 lbs. This number is less than the machine rating
and thus indicates that the loader/bucket combination is safe to use in this appli-
cation.
Example 2:
Granite (density of 1488-1776 kg/m
3
) is to be hauled with a V270
model skid loader using a 1778 mm earth and foundry bucket w/high back (SAE
J742-rated heaped capacity of 0.43 m
3
). With this bucket, the V270 has a rating
of 1225 kg. Multiplying the maximum density of the material by the bucket
capacity (1776 x 0.43) yields a load that weighs 763 kg. This number is less than
the machine rating and thus indicates that the loader/bucket combination is safe
to use in this application.
