The Star Industries LP22A-78BOB Low Profile Dirt Skid Steer Bucket with Bolt-On Blade is the widest and highest-capacity bolt-on blade configuration in the LP22A series — the ultimate wide-coverage, maximum-endurance skid steer bucket for operators running full-size machines on the most demanding construction, landscaping, and agricultural job sites. At 78" wide with a 19.6 cuft heaped capacity and a factory-installed reversible ⅝" × 8" bolt-on blade delivering three times the cutting edge wear life of a standard punched blade, the LP22A-78BOB is purpose-built for high-utilisation operations where maximum width, maximum material throughput, and minimum blade replacement downtime are all non-negotiable requirements. At 673 lbs, this is the heaviest bucket in the LP22A BOB series — a reflection of its maximum-width steel construction and the added weight of the factory bolt-on blade assembly — sized and weighted for the most capable full-size skid steer machines. Backed by Star Industries' industry-leading 5-year warranty and proudly made in the USA.

The low-profile design places the bucket bottom close to the ground for level back-dragging performance that landscaping and grading professionals consistently rely on as a core job site capability. At 78" wide, the LP22A-78BOB covers the broadest possible surface with each pass — dramatically reducing the number of passes needed to grade, level, or clear a large area compared to narrower bucket models, directly translating into fewer machine hours, lower fuel costs, and faster project completion. The operator maintains a clear line of sight to the leading edge from the cab seat at all times, providing the precision and control needed for accurate material placement, clean grading passes, and confident operation even across sensitive or finished surfaces. The bevelled hard carbon steel punched leading edge blade is the foundation for the factory-fitted bolt-on blade — and is also punched for future optional bolt-on blade replacement when the current blade wears through, ensuring the upgrade path remains open for the life of the bucket.

Extra heavy-duty steel construction with continuous welds inside and outside of all shell seams, a full-width reinforced hat section, and steel side blades protecting the 78" bucket sides from lateral impact and abrasive wear deliver the structural integrity that maximum-width, high-cycle skid steer bucket operation demands. Load transfer scuff bars (½" × 3", three to five bars depending on bucket width) reinforce the wide bucket bottom against the wear generated by bolt-on blade ground engagement and back-dragging operations. The 3/8" plate steel universal quick-tach handles the newest and most powerful skid steer loaders, and Star Industries designs each LP22A bucket profile to match specific machine makes and models for correct fit and optimal performance. Integrated safety steps, optional heavy-duty pin-on Series 23 teeth, and optional bolt-on side cutters complete the package.

• Factory-Installed Reversible ⅝" × 8" Bolt-On Blade — Pre-fitted at the factory for immediate maximum cutting edge performance; reversible design delivers 3 times the wear life of a standard punched blade — critical at 78" width where edge replacement is most impactful.
• 78" Maximum Working Width — The widest model in the entire LP22A series; covers the most ground per pass for the fastest wide-area grading, backfilling, and material handling on the largest job sites.
• 19.6 CuFt Heaped Capacity — The highest heaped capacity in the LP22A BOB series for maximum material throughput and the fewest total dump cycles per job.
• Low Profile Design for Back-Dragging — Bucket bottom set close to the ground for superior level back-dragging and precision finish grading — the defining LP22A series advantage for landscaping and grading professionals.
• Operator Visibility from the Seat — Low-profile design provides a direct line of sight to the leading edge from the cab for improved precision, control, and job site safety across all applications.
• Extra Heavy-Duty Steel Construction — Built from heavy-gauge steel throughout for outstanding durability and long-term resistance to impact, abrasion, and structural fatigue.
• Fully Welded Seams — Continuous welds applied inside and outside of all shell seams for maximum structural strength and significantly longer service life.
• Reinforced Hat Section — Full-width hat section across the top of the bucket delivers unyielding strength and rigidity across the entire upper structure under maximum-width heavy loads.
• Steel Side Blades — Strengthen and protect the wide 78" bucket sides from lateral impact and abrasive wear — especially critical at maximum working width where side plate exposure is greatest.
• Load Transfer Scuff Bars (½" × 3") — Three to five heavy-steel scuff bars reinforce the 78" bucket bottom and protect against excessive wear from bolt-on blade ground engagement and back-dragging.
• Bevelled Hard Carbon Steel Punched Blade — Underlying punched leading edge blade (½" × 6" or ¾" × 6") serves as the structural base for the factory bolt-on blade assembly and future blade replacements.
• Optional Heavy-Duty Pin-On Teeth — Series 23 pin-on teeth measuring 2¼" across the point for enhanced digging penetration when ground conditions demand more aggressive cutting capability.
• Optional Bolt-On Side Cutters — Protect the wide bucket sides and extend service life in abrasive or rocky soil conditions — strongly recommended at 78" width.
• Universal Quick-Tach (3/8" Plate Steel) — Heavy-duty quick-tach construction handles the demands of the newest and most powerful skid steer loaders with confidence.
• Brand & Model-Specific Bucket Profiles — Designed to match specific skid steer makes and models for correct bucket profile fit and optimal operating performance.
• Integrated Safety Steps — Provide secure and convenient access to the cab or elevated areas of the machine for safer daily operation.
• 5-Year Warranty — Backed by one of the strongest warranties in the skid steer bucket category, reflecting Star Industries' confidence in their USA-made build quality.
• Proudly Made in the USA — Manufactured by Star Industries, a trusted American manufacturer since 1982.
