How many yards does a backhoe bucket hold?

A backhoe bucket typically holds between 0.2 to 0.5 cubic yards of material, depending on its size. A 12 inch backhoe bucket might hold around 0.1 cubic yards, while a larger bucket can accommodate up to 0.5 cubic yards. This capacity is crucial for understanding load limits and ensuring that the backhoe is not overloaded during operations, which could potentially damage the equipment.
