Imagine a box 3 feet high by 3 wide and 3 feet deep. That is one (cubic) yard.
On one site I found the weight of one cubic yard of topsoil listed as 1,35 US tons
Depending on the material and moisture content anywhere from around a ton to 1.5 tons.
Basically a cube measuring 3 feet by 3feet by 3 feet. 1 cubic yard.
As much as the supplier needs to charge in your location. Have you checked local suppliers for quotes?
600-800 pounds dry, wet double that

Well.....A cubic yard is a measure of volume, so the answer is....it takes a cubic yard (IE it would fill a box that was one yard wide by one yard long by one yard high. If you follow this link (http://www.rexius.com/faq.html) you will see a cubic yard of soil typically weighs around 1300 to 1600 lbs. To give you an alternate form of measurement, you are looking for 27 cu ft to fill a cubic yard of topsoil.
Depends on the man. About 15 minutes. Easily.
If you have a garden that is 24 yards and has top soil 3 inches deep, the volume of one of those yards, including yard 3, is 3.
It is difficult to answer this without knowing what the cubic yard contains. A ballpark estimation would be one of the most common consumer purchases of something delivered by the cubic yard, top soil. A relatively dry, screened, cubic yard of top soil will weigh approximately 2400 lbs. For our friends in the rest of the world, 2400 lb = 1088.621 kg (or 1.08862 mt).
A good average density for topsoil is 100 pounds per cubic foot. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard, and so one cubic yard weighs around 2,700 pounds.2,700/40 = 67.5Therefore, it will take about 67.5 forty pound bags to make one cubic yard of topsoil.
This question has no real answer as it depends where you stay and the availability of top soil. How much is a cubic yard of topsoil in Iceland? How much is a cubic yard of topsoil in the Sahara Desert? How much is a cubic yard of topsoil in Washington DC? etc. etc. Check a local newspaper or nursery/ garden centre
