HLA Attachments SST96BO500 Side Discharge Straw/Lime Bucket is a hydraulically driven, skid-steer-mounted material-handling attachment designed for controlled discharge to either the left or right side. With a 96-inch inside width and an approximate 2-3/4-cubic-yard heaped capacity, it is suited to distributing chopped straw, straw/lime mixtures, sawdust, wood shavings, fine-to-medium wood chips, corn silage and premixed TMR. Its direct-coupled hydraulic drive, metering drum and durable conveyor system work together to provide consistent material flow, while the BO500 skid-steer quick attach makes it ready for compatible skid-steer loaders.
The SST96BO500 can discharge material from either side, allowing the operator to select the direction that best suits the work area. This bidirectional discharge capability is useful when bedding livestock areas, distributing feed materials or placing loose material along walls and other confined spaces.
A hydraulically driven metering drum regulates the flow of material onto the conveyor belt. The integrated agitator and beater help prevent material from bridging inside the bucket, supporting a more reliable feed onto the belt. One hydraulic motor powers the conveyor belt, while a separate hydraulic motor operates the drum and beater system.
Material is carried by a 12-inch-wide, high-abrasion rubber conveyor belt equipped with 1-1/2-inch paddles. This configuration is designed to move a range of agricultural and bedding materials through the bucket and toward the selected discharge side. The hydraulic direct-coupled drive provides a straightforward power-transfer arrangement without relying on a PTO.
The flared bucket design supports snag-free loading when working along a wall. A mesh rear panel improves visibility into the bucket, helping the operator monitor the material level during loading and use. The bucket measures approximately 59 inches high and 58 inches long, with a calculated outside width of 97-1/4 inches.
The HLA SST96BO500 is designed to handle several common agricultural, livestock and bedding materials. Suitable materials include chopped straw, straw/lime mixtures, sawdust, wood shavings, fine-to-medium wood chips, corn silage and premixed TMR. Its combination of an agitator, metering drum and side-discharge conveyor makes it useful where loose material must be loaded in bulk and distributed in a controlled direction.
This exact SST96BO500 variant is equipped with the HLA BO500 skid-steer quick-attach configuration and is intended for compatible skid-steer loaders. HLA bolt-on quick-attach adapters may support other material handlers, but those alternative mounting configurations are not included as part of this exact model.
The carrier must provide a minimum hydraulic flow of 12 GPM to operate the attachment. Hydraulic power drives both the conveyor belt motor and the separate drum/beater motor. Confirm the available hydraulic flow and quick-attach compatibility of the skid-steer loader before installation.
