Description
HLA Attachments MB78BO500 78-Inch Regular-Duty Standard Front-End Loader Bucket is a practical material bucket designed for loaders and carriers equipped with the BO500 skid-steer-carrier quick-attach configuration. With a 78-inch inside width, 80-inch outside width, and 23.1-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity, it provides useful volume for routine loading, carrying, filling, and cleanout work. Regular-duty construction combines 3/16-inch main material, 1/4-inch end plates, a reinforced top lip, and a substantial 3/4 x 4-inch bevelled cutting edge. Its rounded, reinforced back promotes strength and easy filling, while tapered self-cleaning end plates help reduce material buildup.
Built for Routine Material Handling
The HLA MB78 bucket is designed for regular-duty front-end loader applications. Its 18.3-cubic-foot struck capacity and 23.1-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity provide room for handling bulk material, while the approximately 525-pound bucket weight balances capacity with a straightforward regular-duty design.
A reinforced round back and reinforced end plates add strength to key areas of the bucket. The rounded profile also supports smoother filling and easier cleanout, helping material move into and out of the bucket with fewer places for buildup. Tapered, self-cleaning end plates further support clean operation when working with loose material.
Durable Cutting and Loading Features
The bucket is fitted with a 3/4 x 4-inch bevelled cutting edge for engaging material during loading. It is also drilled to accept a standard bolt-on cutting edge, allowing the working edge to be configured with a compatible optional accessory. Available accessory options include double-bevel and serrated bolt-on cutting edges, as well as knock-on ripper teeth with weld-on adapters and flex pins.
The reinforced top lip contributes additional strength across the bucket opening. It also provides a flat top that serves as a convenient level indicator, helping the operator judge bucket position while approaching or carrying material.
