The regular 1" stone. How much does a yard weigh? Need to see how many I can pull behind the truck.

Thanks

One ton of stone equals approximately 3/4 of a cubic yard, so one yard would be appr. 1.33 tons, or 2700 lbs.

Depends on how big your yard is.

dummy!

And when figuring towing capacity (I'm probably stating the obvious) do not forget to figure in trailer weight. For 2500 lbs of stone and renting a trailer with that capacity, the trailer itself may weigh that much. So you would need 5,000 lbs towing capacity.

You'd think so wouldn't you! But I got the silly receptionists, one of whom told me (for mulch at least) 700 lb and the other one 2 tons (4400 lb).

That all depends on the size of your yard, and how deep the stone is piled in your yard. However, I can give you a rough estimate. The weight is somewhere in between the weight of ONE single stone, and the ENTIRE weight of our planet Earth.

I hope this helps.

You have entirely too much time on your hands.

Let me point out now, in case any of you are NOT joking, that a yard of stone is a CUBIC yard, not a back yard!

I know how to cube a potato, but how do you cube your back yard?

 

[Beeper]

backyard X backyard X backyard = backyard cubed

I know how to cube a potato, but how do you cube your back yard?

Depends on what type of stone. Limestone is lighter, granite heavier. Crusher run with all the fines mixed with the stones is heavier than screened stone which has the fines removed leaving air in between the stones.

Hmm. Well... if memory serves, a galon of water is 8.35 pounds. A cubic foot is 7.48 galons, or 62.5 pounds.

A cubic yard would be 27 cubic foot. And stone is heavier than wate. So, you might be able to get a rough figure that way.

remember 1 cubic yard = .73 cubic meter
