I've hauled the bagged stuff but I like the triple sawn stuff better. The place closest to my house sells a bobcat scoop for $29 which does not quite fill the bed. They just turn the bobcat at an angle and it goes in easy. When I get home I just hoe the mulch into my wheelbarrow- get about 5 from a load. Biggest pain is cleaning out the crack between the bed and tailgate. This year it took 6 trips but I do one or two per day and that is enough for me. I used to get one or two yards in the old Mazda Longbed but this works.

I mean... I've done it in a Prius V and a Crosstrek, but I'd sure prefer to do it in something with a bed.

Which... actually...is a true statement for many, many definitions of "done it"...
Yea and probably some one has done it on a bicycle. Big woop! Did you hose it down after?

Try doing it in the "rear seat" of a Ranger. ( not the new ones)

I dunno, I sure miss my GSW (Golf Sportwagen) S - 2016 1.8T gasser EPA rated 25/36 MPG with a 5 speed stick. Yup 5 in 2016. Tall gears, hit 60mph in 2nd. Lifetime actual MPG for me was 38.40. Not diesel. Fit tons of gear and drove sporty and had cheap sized 15" tires!

Camping, climbing and SUPs gear all fit inside:

That’s my only excuse for buying it. Mulch hauling.
When I haul loose dirty stuff (soil, mulch, etc) I line the box with an old tarp. Keeps it cleaner and I don't have to wash it out - just yank out the tarp and shake it....

that's another screw deal these days all those different sizes of rims and tires not to mention the slightly different bolt circles,I remember trying to find something that could use a set of aluminum "trx" rims off a mustang(15.5-390mm) finally scrapped them couldn't find tires to use on them,same deal with Mopar products jeep aluminum wheels wouldn't work on a newer Dakota,very pointless difference,back in the day you could swap 6 and eight lug wheels among the big three.

I had 20 in mine and was able to close the cover over them. Last year I did 40 in a load but that blocked the rear window completely. Lowe's is 2 miles away, HD 1.5 miles away so 2 trips worked for me plus I could drop them in the 2 areas I needed ans not need to count how many I dropped in each 🤣 . Plus I got to drive my Maverick twice as much. I checked the local bulk mulch retailer. They sell minimum 3 yards at a time and 1 loading of that mulch. Cost? $135 and I dare someone to post a picture of 3 yards of mulch in a Maverick.
I've done bulk mulch once (in an F-150) and IMHO bags are better for the typical suburban homeowner. Bags are just so much easier to move and position around the yard.
