This is Scottie
the skid-steer loader
Scottie gives you a 1/2 cubic yard per scoop
That’s 80 sq ft. at 2″ deep
When planning out a project, please measure the volume of what you need to fill before purchase. Multiply Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Depth (inches) to calculate the total cubic yard(s) needed.
We recommend using this landscape calculator as a guide.
If you’re a visual learner—you can relax the math is over. Instead we have tips:
- A standard-size truck bed can hold up to 2 scoops (1 cubic yard) of most weighted material at a time (See our cheat sheet below).
- Once home or at your project site, spread out the material. Then you should decide if another load is needed.
