HLA Attachments SB72GR66BO500 72-Inch Regular-Duty Skid-Steer Grapple Bucket combines a standard skid-steer bucket, a 66-inch GR66 regular utility grapple, and the BO500 universal skid-steer quick-attach configuration in one versatile material-handling attachment. Designed for jobs where a conventional bucket alone cannot reliably hold bulky or loose material, the hydraulic grapple opens up to 70 inches and helps secure loads during pickup, handling, and placement. It is suitable for materials such as manure and can also accommodate 4-foot round bales.
This HLA Attachments grapple bucket is built around a 72-inch inside-width regular-duty bucket with an approximately 74-inch outside width. The bucket offers a 16.5-cubic-foot struck capacity and a 20.8-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity, providing useful volume for everyday loading and material-handling work.
The 66-inch GR66 grapple is operated by two 2-1/2 x 8-inch hydraulic cylinders. Its maximum 70-inch opening provides clearance for larger, irregularly shaped loads, while the grapple action helps retain material that may otherwise roll, shift, or spill from an open bucket. Loader auxiliary hydraulics are required to operate the grapple.
The bucket shell is made from 3/16-inch material and is paired with 1/4-inch end plates. A 3/4 x 4-inch beveled cutting edge supports effective bucket filling and ground-level material pickup. The top lip, round back, and end plates are reinforced to strengthen key areas of the bucket.
Tapered, self-cleaning end plates are designed to reduce material buildup during operation. The flat bucket top also serves as a practical level indicator, helping the operator judge bucket position from the loader seat. For applications requiring a replaceable edge, the bucket is drilled to accept an optional standard bolt-on cutting edge.
The SB72GR66BO500 uses HLA Attachments’ BO500 universal skid-steer quick-attach configuration. It is intended for loaders equipped with a compatible universal skid-steer quick-attach interface. The GR66 grapple is sized to fit the 72-inch bucket included in this complete configuration.
A loader with auxiliary hydraulics is required to operate the grapple. The attachment is supplied with two 2-1/2 x 8-inch grapple cylinders. Specific hydraulic flow and pressure requirements are not published. Before use, confirm that the loader has the appropriate quick-attach interface, auxiliary hydraulic capability, and sufficient operating capacity for the attachment’s approximately 870-pound combined weight and the intended load.
