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

If the dirt has lots of stones in it do you need as many loads?

No, as long as they are stones for lots. Did you mean stones for lots,
lots of stones or lots of stones for lots?

___________
Sow in a wheelbarrow
This farmer has a sow he would like to get pregnant but he doesnt have
a bore(male pig).His neighbor tells him he has a bore bring your sow
over and he'll get her pregnant.
The farmer says sure but how will I know if she's pregnant.Neighbor
says watch her in the morning if she rolls in the clover she's
pregnant,if she rolls in the mud she's not.So the farmer loads the sow
in his wheelbarrow and takes her to the neighbors and leavs her with
the bore everyday for a week.Every morning she's rolling in the mud,so
he's gotta put her in the wheelbarrow and take her to the neighbors
again.
He's getting tired of this'next morning he says to his wife "Honey
look out the window and tell me if the pigs rolling in the mud or the
clover"His wife has a look and comes back say's"She aint rolling in
the mud or the clover,she's sittin in the wheelbarrow.

That depends. How big of a yard do you want?
Just keep adding more dirt until the yard is the size you need....

| A cubic yard contains 27 cubic feet.
A large contractor type wheelbarrow holds 6 cubic feet.
When you dig up soil, there is a fluff factor - there is more soil
volume because it is not densely packed.
Hope this helps, maybe better than some of the other answers.

Reminds me of old uncle Hank. Everyday he would leave the factory where he
worked with a small tarp draped over his wheelbarrow. At the guard shack he
would be stopped and the guard would pull back the tarp and find uncle Hanks
toolbox and lunch pail. Nothing else, just the toolbox and lunch pail.
Everyday for years it was the same routine. And everyday there was nothing
in the wheelbarrow but the toolbox and the lunch pail. Uncle Hank was
finally arrested and sent to prison. Seems he had stolen over 500
wheelbarrows.

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.

Gee... I had an "Uncle Hank" too.
My "Uncle Hank" was a friend who worked in the maintenance department
of a Fortune 100 company. He wore a jacket (with pockets) to work
every day, regardless of the weather. I asked him why and the reason
he gave was this: If I ever need to steal supplies for a project at
home, it won't raise a flag if I show up wearing a jacket on a 90
degree day."
So basically this guy got dressed every morning conciously thinking
about ripping the company off.
