Description
The HLA Attachments MB66HDBO500 66-inch Heavy Duty Standard Front-End Loader Bucket combines durable construction, practical capacity, and a BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach interface for demanding material-handling work. With a 66-inch inside width, approximately 68-inch outside width, and 19.4-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity, this bucket is designed for loading, carrying, grading, and general-purpose cleanup. Its reinforced round back supports strength while promoting easy filling and cleanout, while the flat top provides a convenient visual level indicator during operation.
Heavy-Duty Bucket Construction
The MB66HD bucket is manufactured with 1/4-inch bucket material and 1/4-inch end plates for dependable performance in regular loader applications. A reinforced top lip adds rigidity, and the reinforced round back and end plates help the bucket withstand demanding use. The round-back profile is also designed to allow material to enter and discharge cleanly.
At the leading edge, the bucket uses a substantial 3/4-by-6-inch beveled cutting edge. This durable edge supports effective material penetration and grading. The bucket is also pre-drilled to accept an optional standard bolt-on cutting edge, allowing the working edge to be adapted for different operating needs or protected against wear.
Practical Material Handling
The 66-inch inside width offers a useful balance of coverage and manoeuvrability. Capacity is rated at 15.5 cubic feet struck and 19.4 cubic feet SAE heaped, providing room for moving loose material efficiently. Tapered, self-cleaning end plates are designed to reduce material buildup, helping make cleanout easier between loads.
A flat upper surface serves as a level indicator, giving the operator a clear reference for bucket positioning. This feature is particularly useful when grading, approaching a pile, carrying material, or keeping the bucket level during loader work.

Compatibility and Mounting
This configuration is equipped with HLA Attachments mounting code BO500, identified as a standard skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. Before ordering, confirm that the intended loader or skid-steer carrier uses the BO500-compatible skid-steer-style quick-attach system. Carrier operating limits and attachment capacity should also be considered in relation to the bucket’s approximate 585-pound weight and loaded capacity.
Optional Cutting-Edge and Tooth Configurations
The MB66HD is drilled for an optional standard bolt-on cutting edge. Optional double-bevel and serrated bolt-on cutting edges are available for applications requiring a different ground-engaging profile. Optional knock-on ripper teeth can also be fitted when additional material penetration is needed.
