Gehl R105 X-Series - Bucket Selections

Bucket Selections
To use the table, find the material name and see what its maximum density is.
Then, multiply the loader rating of the attachment by the material density to
determine if the attachment can safely be used. See page 104 for a listing of
attachments and their loader ratings.
Note: 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: If snow (density of 15-50 lbs./ft
3
) is to be hauled using a R105
model loader using Dirt/Construction Bucket, the bucket capacity is 10.5 ft
3
and
the loader rating is 1050 lbs. Multiply the density of snow (50 lbs./ft
3
) by the
capacity of the bucket (10.5 ft
3
) to achieve the weight being carried (50 lbs./ft
3
x
10.5 ft
3
= 525 lbs.). This number is less than the machine rating, so you could
safely use this bucket in this application.
Example 2: If potash (density of 1088 kg/m
3
) is to be hauled using a R105 model
loader using a 0.3 m
3
Dirt/Construction bucket, the bucket capacity is 0.3 m
3
and
the loader rating is 612 kg. Multiply the density of potash (1088 kg/m
3
) by the
capacity of the bucket (0.3 m
3
) to achieve the weight to be carried (1088 kg/m
3
x
0.3 m
3
= 326.4 kg). This number is less than the machine rating, allowing safe
use of this bucket in this application.
