Don't know if it is just a local term but they are the big cubes in the woven plastic bag that replaced hessian many years ago.
They get forked onto the tray and it makes for a character building drive home.
We put it in 200 litre bins when we get home.

Around here those are called bulk bags or Super Sacks.

Body roll on corners, vehicle is rated as 1 ton carrying capacity but 750kg depresses the back springs a lot and a lot of lean when you turn, getting home takes longer than the trip to pick up.
2.5 litre Nissan Navara intercooled turbo diesel with common rail, nowhere near as big as the Ford 'F's.

I guess that’s the part I was missing. A super duty should be able to haul 2 bags no problem. A DRW flatbed should be able to haul 4.

Most Countries I've been to use much smaller trucks than us Yanks. I'll hafta scrounge around and find some pics I've taken over the years. One is of six goats standing in the back of a 4 door Nissan and 4 men in the cab hauling butt down the highway with no rack on the truck bed. One yank of the wheel and the goats would have unloaded. :)
