Sand, gravel, etc. weighs about 3000 pounds per cubic yard. Your bucket is probably about 1/2 to 3/4 cubic yard unless it is a snow bucket in which case it might be a yard or yard and a quarter.

If it has trouble lifting, it could be low on fluid or bad fluid overdue for a change, a plugged filter, bad seals in the lift cylinders, or a worn control valve or the pump. Check the easy stuff (fluid, filter) first. Good luck on that.
