    Brief version of my calls made while my trainee drives.

    Me: yes I am look for a 9 yard or just over 9 yard bucket for my 980M loader. Gravel pit use, generally purpose, but heavy duty.

    Sales idiot: We only sell them in cubic meters.

    Me: Great then google how many cubic meters is 9 yards or a bit over.

    Sales idiot: I can't do that, we can only sell them in cubic meter sizes.

    Me: 'click'.

    The answer to your question is 7, and it took all of 10 seconds to find it.

    Tomorrow I will call a different place and ask about buckets.
    I have googled it as well and I want around a 7 cubic meter size.
    Not sure why the sales idiot would not just do it since he was in his office, sitting in front of his computer.

    So a 52 foot coil wouldn't bother you?

    To me the length or width mean nothing. Till you get a stand up slitter coil.

    So that's being slit, then its banded and loaded normal. I'm hear to tell you, no matter what you do it may not stay standing straight up and down everytime. F them.

    I saw your post after my last post lol.
    I was on my phone in the truck, so thought it would be easy for him to do it.
    I did myself once off the phone.
    But how can you be in bucket sales and not know this. Us old timers are used to yards.

    Then he would’ve had to interrupt his porn surfing and we certainly wouldn’t want that. :rolleyes:
