HLA Attachments MBFNO72BO500 72-inch 4-in-1 Front-End Loader Bucket combines hydraulic 4-in-1 functionality with robust loader-profile construction and a BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach mounting configuration. Designed for loader carriers using HLA mounting code BO500, this bucket features two included hydraulic cylinders, substantial material thicknesses in key wear and load areas, and useful capacity for material-handling applications. Its 72-inch inside width, 17.1-cubic-foot struck capacity, and 21.9-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity provide a practical combination of coverage and volume.
The MBFNO72BO500 is a hydraulic 4-in-1 loader bucket built around HLA Attachments’ MBFNO72 base bucket. Its two 2-1/2 x 8-inch cylinders operate the bucket’s hydraulic function when connected to suitable loader auxiliary hydraulics. This configuration gives operators the versatility of a 4-in-1 attachment while retaining the familiar profile and capacity of a front-end loader bucket.
The bucket measures 33 inches deep and 26 inches high. It has a 72-inch inside width and an approximately 74-inch calculated outside width. Capacity is rated at 17.1 cubic feet struck and 21.9 cubic feet SAE heaped, making it suitable for a range of loader and material-handling work.
HLA builds this model with 1/4-inch main bucket material, 3/8-inch end plates, and a 3/8-inch clam floor bottom. These material specifications reinforce key areas of the attachment for demanding loader use. The bucket is also drilled to accept a standard bolt-on cutting edge, allowing an appropriate cutting edge to be fitted where required.
Approximate bucket weight is 1,098 pounds. The mounting configuration may affect the final assembled weight, so the carrier’s attachment capacity and operating limits should be confirmed before installation.
This bucket is configured with HLA mounting code BO500, which HLA identifies as a skid-steer-style quick-attach mount. It is intended for loader carriers that use the corresponding BO500 mounting interface. Confirm the carrier’s mounting system, lift capacity, hydraulic capability, and attachment clearance before purchase or installation.
Loader auxiliary hydraulics are required to operate the two included hydraulic cylinders. Hydraulic flow, pressure, hose, and coupler requirements are not specified for this model. Verify that the loader has a suitable auxiliary hydraulic system and the necessary connections before fitting the bucket.
