Description
HLA Attachments MBHV72HD 72-Inch Heavy-Duty High-Volume Front-End Loader Bucket with BO500 Mounting is designed for handling substantial volumes of material while providing the durability required for demanding loader work. Its 72-inch inside width, 27.3-cubic-foot struck capacity, and 32.9-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity make it well suited to loading, carrying, stockpiling, and moving bulk materials. Heavy 1/4-inch bucket construction, reinforced high-stress areas, and a 3/4 x 6-inch bevelled cutting edge provide a strong working structure, while the BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach interface allows connection to compatible loader carriers.
Heavy-Duty High-Volume Design
The MBHV72HD combines high material capacity with a reinforced bucket profile. Both the main bucket material and end plates are manufactured from 1/4-inch material. A reinforced top lip, round back, and reinforced end plates add strength where it is needed during filling, carrying, and cleanout.
With a depth of 36 inches and a height of 30 inches, the bucket provides substantial internal volume without sacrificing practical loading geometry. Its round-back construction supports easy filling and helps material release cleanly when dumping. Tapered, self-cleaning end plates further reduce material buildup around the sides of the bucket.
Designed for Efficient Loader Operation
The bucket’s flat top serves as a convenient level indicator, helping the operator judge bucket position during loading, grading, and carrying. At the working edge, the 3/4 x 6-inch bevelled cutting edge provides a durable contact surface for engaging material. The bucket is also drilled to accept a standard bolt-on cutting edge, allowing it to be equipped accordingly when additional edge protection or serviceability is desired.
The 72-inch inside width provides a calculated outside width of approximately 74 inches. This combination offers broad material coverage and high carrying capacity for compatible front-end loaders. The bucket weighs approximately 740 pounds, so loader lift capacity, operating limits, and carrier fitment should be considered before installation.
