My yard tractor has a 22.6 cubic foot (.83 yard) bucket. And it’s the bigger bucket for that tractor.

And yet landscape supply places tend to use the typical bucket that comes on a back
hoe. I suppose there are minor differences but a yard is a yard and that's the unit used to measure and charge for the material.
Petty post, I know. You are correct in general. Your bucket probably is close to a half a yard when the bucket is spilling out due to an aggressive scoop. It's never a level scoop for me, always over filled to whatever will stay in the bucket.
