HLA Attachments - 72" Regular Duty Standard Front-End Loader Bucket [LA-MB72BO500]

HLA Attachments MB72BO500 72-inch Regular-Duty Standard Front-End Loader Bucket is a practical material-handling bucket designed for loaders using the BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. With a 72-inch inside width, 21.3 cu ft SAE heaped capacity, reinforced construction, and a tapered self-cleaning profile, it is well suited to routine loading, carrying, levelling, filling, and cleanout work. The flat top also serves as a convenient level indicator, helping the operator judge bucket position during use.

Built for Everyday Material Handling

The MB72BO500 combines regular-duty construction with reinforcement in key areas. The bucket is formed from 3/16-inch material and uses 1/4-inch end plates, while its reinforced top lip, round back, and end plates add strength where it is needed. The rounded bucket back is designed to support easy filling and cleanout, making the bucket a useful choice for moving loose material in general loader applications.

A 3/4 x 4-inch beveled cutting edge provides a durable working edge for loading and levelling. The bucket is also drilled to accept an optional bolt-on cutting edge, allowing the working edge to be configured for different operating needs. Tapered, self-cleaning end plates help reduce material buildup as the bucket is filled and emptied.

Capacity and Bucket Profile

The MB72 bucket measures 28 inches deep and 25 inches high, providing a struck capacity of 16.9 cu ft and an SAE heaped capacity of 21.3 cu ft. Its approximately 74-inch overall width offers broad material coverage while maintaining a 72-inch inside working width. The reinforced rounded back and tapered end plates are shaped to promote smooth material flow into and out of the bucket.

Quick-Attach Compatibility

This configuration is fitted with the HLA BO500 quick-attach interface, which is used for skid-steer-style carrier applications. HLA lists selected New Holland loaders and John Deere loaders equipped with skid-steer carriers among the applications associated with this mounting style. Compatibility depends on the loader’s actual carrier interface, so the machine’s quick-attach system should be confirmed as compatible with mounting code BO500 before purchase.

Optional Wear Edges and Ripper Teeth

The bucket is drilled for an optional bolt-on cutting edge. Available configurations include standard double-bevel, heavy double-bevel, and serrated single-bevel edges. Optional knock-on ripper teeth are also available for applications requiring additional material penetration.
