Star Industries LP22A-72BOB Low Profile Skid steer Dirt Bucket With Bolt on Blade
Authorized Star Industries Dealer
Ensuring quality backed by full manufacturer warranty & support.
The Star Industries LP22A-72BOB Low Profile Dirt Skid Steer Bucket with Bolt-On Blade is the factory bolt-on blade equipped configuration of the LP22A-72 — combining the widest standard working width in the LP22A smooth-blade series with a factory-installed reversible ⅝" × 8" bolt-on blade that delivers three times the cutting edge wear life of a standard punched blade straight out of the box. For operators who run their 72" bucket hard across grading, backfilling, back-dragging, and material handling tasks day after day, the LP22A-72BOB eliminates the cost and downtime of frequent blade replacements — making it the smart long-term investment for high-utilisation skid steer fleets in construction, landscaping, and agriculture. At 658 lbs — reflecting the additional weight of the factory bolt-on blade assembly over the standard 518 lb LP22A-72 — the LP22A-72BOB is a substantial, serious attachment for full-size skid steer loaders with the lift capacity to operate a 72" bolt-on blade bucket at full productivity. Backed by Star Industries' industry-leading 5-year warranty and proudly made in the USA.
The low-profile design keeps the bucket bottom set close to the ground for superior level back-dragging performance — one of the most consistently praised features of the LP22A series among landscaping and grading professionals who rely on clean, accurate finish grades as a core deliverable. The operator maintains a direct line of sight to the leading edge from the cab seat at all times, enabling precise material placement, controlled grading passes, and confident operation in tight or sensitive areas. Extra heavy-duty steel construction with continuous welds applied inside and outside of all shell seams delivers the structural integrity needed for high-cycle, wide-bucket skid steer operation. The full-width reinforced hat section provides unyielding upper structure strength, and steel side blades protect the 72" bucket sides from lateral impact and abrasive wear on every pass — at this working width, side blade protection is especially important given the greater lateral exposure during wide digging and grading passes.
Load transfer scuff bars (½" × 3", three to five bars depending on bucket width) reinforce the wide 72" bucket bottom against excessive wear from ground contact and back-dragging — critical protection when the bolt-on blade configuration encourages operators to engage the cutting edge more aggressively in grading and levelling work. The universal quick-tach, constructed from 3/8" plate steel, handles the demands of the newest and most powerful skid steer loaders, and each Star Industries bucket is designed to match specific machine makes and models for correct profile fit and optimal performance. Integrated safety steps, optional heavy-duty pin-on Series 23 teeth (2¼" across the point), and optional bolt-on side cutters complete a comprehensive, ready-to-work package for the most demanding 72" skid steer bucket applications.
