HLA Attachments MB72HDBO500 72-Inch Heavy Duty Standard Front-End Loader Bucket combines robust construction, practical material-handling capacity, and a BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach mounting configuration. Built for demanding front-end loader work, this heavy-duty material bucket features 1/4-inch bucket material, 1/4-inch end plates, a reinforced top lip, and a substantial 3/4 x 6-inch bevelled cutting edge. Its reinforced round back supports efficient filling and cleanout, while the flat bucket top provides a convenient visual level indicator for more precise positioning during operation.
The MB72HD base bucket is constructed to handle regular, demanding loader applications. Its 72-inch inside width provides a useful balance between capacity and overall size, with an approximate outside width of 74 inches. The bucket measures 30 inches deep and 25 inches high, providing a struck capacity of 16.9 cubic feet and an SAE heaped capacity of 21.3 cubic feet.
Strength is built into the bucket through multiple reinforced areas. In addition to its 1/4-inch bucket shell and end plates, the MB72HD has a reinforced top lip, round back, and reinforced end plates. The round-back profile is designed to promote easy filling and cleanout. Tapered, self-cleaning end plates further reduce material buildup, helping material discharge more cleanly.
A 3/4 x 6-inch bevelled cutting edge gives the bucket a durable working edge for loading and material movement. The bucket is also drilled to accept an optional bolt-on cutting edge, allowing the working edge to be supplemented when required. The flat top of the bucket doubles as a level indicator, giving the operator a clear reference for bucket angle from the loader seat.
The MB72HDBO500 is configured with HLA’s BO500 quick-attach mounting code, a skid-steer-style quick-attach interface used across multiple loader brands and models. Compatibility depends on the loader’s attachment interface rather than bucket width alone. Confirm that the loader is equipped with the HLA BO500 interface and verify machine-specific fitment against HLA’s loader mounting-code catalogue before ordering or installation.
