HLA Attachments MBHV84GRL72BO500 Regular-Duty High-Volume Grapple Bucket combines an 84-inch front-end-loader material bucket with a 72-inch GRL72 large utility grapple and BO500 quick-attach mounting. Built for loading, carrying and controlling bulky material, this high-volume assembly offers 38.5 cubic feet of SAE heaped capacity and an 85-inch maximum grapple opening. It can also handle large round bales up to 6 feet. Reinforced construction, tapered self-cleaning end plates and a removable grapple mounting system make it a versatile choice for material-handling applications where both bucket capacity and positive grapple control are required.
The regular-duty bucket measures 84 inches inside and approximately 86 inches across the outside, providing a broad working area and substantial material capacity. Its 34-inch depth and 30-inch height contribute to a struck capacity of 31.8 cubic feet and an SAE heaped capacity of 38.5 cubic feet.
A reinforced round back and reinforced end plates add strength while supporting efficient bucket filling and cleanout. The tapered, self-cleaning end-plate design helps reduce material buildup, while the flat top of the bucket can be used as a practical level indicator during loader operation.
The included GRL72 grapple is sized for the 84-inch bucket and opens to a maximum of 85 inches. This wide opening allows the attachment to secure large or irregular loads and handle round bales measuring up to 6 feet. Grapple cylinders are included with the assembly.
The grapple uses a bolt-on mounting-post design, allowing it to be removed when grapple functionality is not needed. This gives the operator the flexibility to use the attachment as a high-volume material bucket or as a grapple bucket without changing the complete bucket assembly.
The bucket shell is manufactured from 3/16-inch material, with 1/4-inch end plates and a reinforced top lip. A standard 3/4 by 4-inch beveled cutting edge supports loading and cleanout performance. The bucket is also drilled to accept an optional bolt-on cutting edge.
This model is supplied with the HLA BO500 quick-attach mounting configuration and is intended for loader carriers specified by HLA for that mounting code. Because BO500 is used across multiple loader makes and models, compatibility with a specific loader must be confirmed against HLA’s loader-specific mounting information before purchase or installation.
The GRL72 grapple is correctly sized for an 84-inch fork or bucket. This complete assembly pairs the 72-inch grapple with the 84-inch high-volume bucket.
