How many cubic yards are in a backhoe bucket?

To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide the cubic feet by 27 (since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard). For example, a standard backhoe bucket with a capacity of 1.0 cubic foot would hold approximately 0.037 cubic yards. In contrast, a 36 inch backhoe bucket can carry around 0.5 cubic yards. Knowing the capacity in cubic yards is essential for planning excavation tasks and managing material loads effectively.
