Does anyone know how many wheelbarrow of dirt makes one yard?

A yard is 27 cu ft. If you have a 6 cu ft wheelbarrow, that would be 5.



Another way to think of it is 500 pounds per trip.


Come to think of it, 500# seems be a little much, stress on the anatomy and
the wheelbarrow itself, when moving a few yards on anything other than on a
smooth and level surface. I'm good about 1/2 hour with 500# but could do it
all day long under 300# moving over uneven ground and slight incline.
