{"product_id":"star-industries-lp22a-78-heavy-duty-skid-steer-bucket","title":"Star Industries LP22A-78 Heavy Duty Skid Steer Bucket","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Star Industries LP22A-78 Heavy Duty Skid Steer Bucket is the 78\" wide model in the LP22A series — the widest standard smooth-blade configuration in this range — purpose-built for operators handling the largest material volumes on high-production construction, landscaping, and agricultural job sites. Equipped with a bevelled hard carbon steel punched blade on the leading edge, the LP22A-78 is optimised for wide-area grading, surface levelling, topsoil work, backfilling, and general material handling where maximum coverage per pass and superior back-dragging performance are the top priorities. The low-profile design keeps the bucket bottom close to the ground for level back-dragging — a feature that landscaping and grading professionals consistently rely on — while allowing the operator to maintain a direct line of sight to the leading edge from the cab seat for improved precision, control, and safety across all job site conditions. Backed by Star Industries' industry-leading 5-year warranty and proudly made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEvery element of the LP22A-78's construction reflects Star Industries' commitment to durability and long-term performance. Extra heavy-duty steel with continuous welds inside and outside of all shell seams delivers the structural integrity that high-cycle, wide-bucket skid steer operation demands. The full-width reinforced hat section provides unyielding strength across the entire upper bucket structure under heavy loads, and steel side blades protect the wide 78\" bucket sides from lateral impact and abrasive wear in rocky, gravelly, and compacted environments — especially critical at this working width where side plate exposure is at its maximum across the LP22A range. Load transfer scuff bars (½\" × 3\", three to five bars depending on bucket width) reinforce the wide bucket bottom against excessive wear from ground contact and back-dragging operations, extending the service life of the bucket floor in demanding daily use conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe universal quick-tach, constructed from 3\/8\" plate steel, handles the demands of 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 operating performance — because even with universal quick-tach systems, bucket profile matching remains important for proper function. Integrated safety steps, an optional reversible ⅝\" × 8\" bolt-on blade (3× standard blade wear life), optional heavy-duty pin-on Series 23 teeth (2¼\" across the point), and optional bolt-on side cutters provide a comprehensive upgrade path for operators who need to tailor the LP22A-78 to their specific ground conditions and job site requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp;
