12 buckets in the truck at 1 yard per bucket it is a 4 in 1 bucket that is 12 yards in box with four axles under box need to put more dirt in truck box. Why are some many comments bitching about how long it took, its only 5 minuets not bad, good operator and I agree operator knows how to load a truck box not just in the center but both ends with that narrow bucket, now if it was a CAT 980 loader the loads would be mostly in the center because of the wide bucket width.
Would it have been much faster with the big excavators? What's the difference in bucket sizes? Guessing that with the same size bucket, the biggest difference would be the excavator being faster to swing than backing and filling with the backhoe.
