HLA Attachments - 42" Compact Utility Bucket - Compact Tractor and Loader Attachment [LA-MBC42BO500]

HLA Attachments MBC42BO500 42-Inch Compact Utility Bucket is a compact front-end-loader attachment designed for material handling with loaders equipped with the BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. Its 42-inch inside width, reinforced round-back construction, and 6.6-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity make it a practical choice for loading, carrying, spreading, and cleaning up loose material. The compact 19-inch depth and height support manoeuvrability, while the approximately 185-pound weight helps keep the attachment appropriately sized for compact loader applications.

Compact Design for Everyday Loader Work

The MBC42 combines a compact footprint with durable construction for routine property, landscaping, agricultural, and general material-handling jobs. The bucket is manufactured from 1/8-inch material and uses 3/16-inch end plates for added strength along the sides. Its reinforced round back and end plates provide structural support while also promoting easy filling and cleanout.

An 80-degree slope on the back of the bucket helps material move into and out of the bucket efficiently. The flat top can be used as a visual level indicator from the operator’s position, making it easier to judge bucket angle during loading, carrying, and grading work.

Durable Cutting Edge

A 1/2-by-4-inch beveled cutting edge provides a substantial working edge for entering piles and collecting loose material. For applications where a replaceable wear surface is preferred, the bucket is also drilled to accept a standard bolt-on cutting edge.

Useful Capacity in a Compact Width

With a 42-inch inside width and a calculated 44-inch outside width, this bucket is suited to work areas where a wider attachment may be less convenient. It provides a struck capacity of 5.2 cubic feet and an SAE heaped capacity of 6.6 cubic feet. This balance of width and capacity makes the bucket suitable for moving manageable loads while preserving the agility expected from a compact loader setup.
