HLA Attachments - 54" Skid Steer Swale Bucket 4" - Grading and Ditch Work [LA-SBSW54BO500]

The HLA Attachments SBSW54 54-Inch Skid-Steer Swale Bucket is purpose-built for grading, shaping drainage swales, and completing ditch work with a skid-steer loader. Its V-bottom profile creates a defined 4-inch swale depth, while the 54-inch inside width provides a practical working area for landscaping and drainage projects. A round-back bucket design promotes easy filling and cleanout while adding strength, and the flat top gives the operator a convenient visual level indicator during finish-grading work.

Designed for Swale and Drainage Work

Unlike a conventional flat-bottom bucket, the SBSW54 uses a V-bottom design to form consistent drainage swales as the bucket moves through the soil. This shape makes it well suited to landscaping, property drainage, shallow ditch construction, and grading applications where controlled water movement is required.

The bucket has a struck capacity of 10.6 cubic feet and measures 30 inches deep by 17 inches high. These proportions provide material-handling capacity while retaining the specialized profile needed to shape a swale. Its approximate weight of 410 pounds should be considered when matching the attachment to a suitable skid-steer loader.

Durable Bucket Construction

The main bucket is manufactured from 3/16-inch material and fitted with heavier 1/4-inch end plates. These end plates reinforce the sides of the bucket in areas exposed to soil pressure and contact during grading and excavation. A reinforced top lip adds structural support across the bucket opening.

At the working edge, the SBSW54 is equipped with a 3/4-by-4-inch beveled cutting edge. The beveled profile provides a defined leading edge for cutting into soil, shaping grades, and establishing the bottom of a drainage swale. The round back combines strength with a smooth interior profile that supports efficient filling and helps material release during cleanout.

Operator-Friendly Grading Features

Accurate bucket positioning is important when establishing drainage grades. The flat top of the SBSW54 serves as a visible level indicator, helping the operator judge bucket angle from the loader seat. Combined with the V-bottom profile, this allows the attachment to perform both material-handling and specialized grading functions during swale construction.
