HLA Attachments MBHV72BO500 72-Inch Regular-Duty High-Volume Front-End Loader Bucket combines generous material capacity with a reinforced, self-cleaning bucket design for efficient loading, carrying and cleanout. Configured with the BO500 quick-attach mount, this high-volume material bucket provides a 72-inch inside width, approximately 74-inch overall width and a 32.9-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity. Its reinforced round back promotes easy filling, while tapered end plates help reduce material buildup during repeated loading cycles.
The MBHV72 is designed for applications that benefit from increased bucket volume. It offers a struck capacity of 27.3 cubic feet and an SAE heaped capacity of 32.9 cubic feet. The 34-inch depth and 30-inch height provide substantial carrying space while retaining the regular-duty construction of HLA’s MBHV bucket range.
A reinforced round back and reinforced end plates improve strength while creating a smooth internal profile for easier filling and cleanout. The tapered, self-cleaning end plates further reduce material buildup, helping the bucket empty more effectively. Its flat top can also be used as a visual level indicator, making it easier for the operator to judge bucket position.
The bucket shell is made from 3/16-inch material and is supported by 1/4-inch end plates. A reinforced top lip adds strength across the bucket opening, while the supplied 3/4 x 4-inch beveled cutting edge provides a durable working edge for regular-duty loading applications.
The bucket is also drilled to accept an optional standard bolt-on cutting edge. Available edge options include double-bevel and serrated configurations, allowing the working edge to be selected for different operating conditions. Optional knock-on ripper teeth are available with weld-on adapters and flex pins.
The BO500 code identifies a quick-attach mounting configuration used across multiple loader-specific, skid-steer and universal quick-attach applications. HLA lists BO500 applications for the following loader models:
Compatibility should be confirmed against the loader’s specific quick-attach system before ordering. For loader models not listed, HLA advises contacting the manufacturer to verify fitment.
