All height and tire related dimensions are with Bridgestone 29.5R25 VSNT L4 radial tires (see Tire Option Chart for other tires). "Width over Tires" dimensions are over
the bulge and include growth.
• All dimensions are approximate and based on machine equipped with 5.4 m3 (7.1 yd3) general purpose bucket with BOCE and Bridgestone 29.5R25 VSNT L4 radial tires.

Bucket Fill Factors and Selection Guide
The bucket size must be chosen based on the density of the material and on the expected fill factor. The Cat Performance Series Buckets with longer floor,
larger bucket opening, increased repository angle, rounded side boards and integrated spill guard demonstrate fill factors significantly higher than previous
generation or non-Cat buckets. The actual volume handled by the machine is thus often larger than the rated capacity.
Loose MaterialFill Factor (%)*Material Density
Earth/Clay
Sand and Gravel
Aggregate:25-76 mm (1 to 3 in)
19 mm (0.75 in) and smaller
Rock: 76 mm (3 in) and larger
*As a % of ISO 7546 rated capacity.
Note: Fill Factors achieved will also depend on whether the product is washed or not washed.
