MATERIAL
DENSITIES
The Table at the right lists densities for some common
materials which could be carried in a Bucket. The
densities listed are average values and intended only
as a guide for Bucket selection. For a material which
is
NOT
in
the Table, obtain its density value before
selecting the appropriate Bucket.
To prevent exceeding the operating capacity
of
the
Loader, use the Table
of
Common Material Densities
to determine the proper size Bucket to use, based on
the type
of
material to be carried.

To use the table, find the material name and see what
its maximum density is. Then, divide the operating
capacity
of
the Loader by the material density to de-
termine the
maximum
size Bucket to use for a heaped
load.
NOTE:
Where the material density is listed as a
range (Clay
at
80-100 Iblff3, for examRle), always
use the maximum density (100
Ibslff
in this ex-
ample) for making calculations. (Also, see the
following Examples.)
EXAMPLE
1:
If
clay (density
of
80-100 Ibs/ft
3
)
is
to
be hauled using a 5625 Loader, the maximum Bucket
size
is
(1700 Ibs
-+
100 Ibs/ft
3
= 17
cubic
feet
).
Therefore, you could safely use a Bucket that has a
capacity
of
17
cubic
feet
or
less.
EXAMPLE
2:
If
concrete (density
of
115 Ibs/ft
3
)
is
to
be hauled using an 5625 Loader, the maximum Bucket
size is (1700 Ibs
-+
115 Ibs/ft
3
= 14.8 cubic feet).
Therefore, you could safely use a Bucket that has a
capacity
of
14
cubic
feet
or
less.
ACAUTION
NEVER
exceed
the
rated
operating
capacity
of
the
Loader
as
shown
on
the
Capacity
Decal.

The Specifications Chapter lists the available Buckets
and their capacities to help you determine which size
Bucket to use. You can always use a smaller capacity
Bucket, but NOT a Bucket with greater capacity then
the calculated MAXIMUM unless it is only partially
filled.
