HLA Attachments - 72" Regular Duty Standard Front-End Loader Bucket and GR66 Grapple [LA-MB72GR66BO500]

HLA Attachments MB72GR66BO500 72-Inch Regular-Duty Loader Bucket with GR66 Grapple combines a versatile standard material bucket with a hydraulically operated utility grapple for loading, carrying, and controlling bulky or uneven materials. This configuration pairs the 72-inch MB regular-duty bucket with a 66-inch GR66 Regular Utility Grapple and the BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. With a maximum grapple opening of 70 inches, dual hydraulic cylinders, reinforced bucket construction, and capacity for materials such as manure and 4-foot round bales, it is a practical front-end-loader attachment for material-handling work.

Versatile Material Handling

The GR66 grapple helps secure material against the bucket while loading, transporting, and placing it. Its 70-inch maximum opening provides room to handle bulky loads, while two 2-1/2 × 8-inch hydraulic cylinders operate the grapple. The grapple is sized specifically for the 72-inch MB bucket and is designed for HLA MB-series buckets.

This combination is suitable for handling manure and other difficult-to-contain materials that may not remain secure in a standard open bucket. It can also accommodate 4-foot round bales. Loader auxiliary hydraulics are required for grapple operation.

Regular-Duty Bucket Construction

The 72-inch MB material bucket uses 3/16-inch bucket material with 1/4-inch end plates. A reinforced top lip, round back, and reinforced end plates add strength while supporting easy filling and cleanout. Tapered, self-cleaning end plates help reduce material buildup, making the bucket easier to empty between loads.

A 3/4 × 4-inch beveled cutting edge provides a durable working edge for loading material. The bucket is also drilled for an optional standard bolt-on cutting edge. Its flat top can be used as a visual level indicator from the operator’s position, helping with bucket positioning during loading and carrying.
