BARN
CLEANER
For over 50 years BADGER has set
the standards for hard working,
long lasting barn cleaners. With
innovation like one piece precision
machined, cast iron transmission
frames, Cor-Ten steel elevators,
and colossal chain (along with
many others). Badger continues to
be the industry standard in barn
cleanertechnology.
Choose the transmission that meets
your needs. The 580 drive, rated
up to 5 HP , provides all the power
necessary for most barn cleaning
chores, and pulls up to 500 feet of
chain. For those extra long, hardto-pull jobs, choose the super 770,
which is rated up to 7-1/2 HP and
pulls up to 700 feet of chain.
• Large 2-1/2’’ diameter drive
shafts are standard
• Precision-bored, one-piece
heavy cast frame assures perfect
alignment of upper and lower
bearings
• Over 25 square inches of bearing
surface in both top and bottom
bearings
• Spiral groove lubrication in both
main bearings
• Pinions feature stress-proof steel
pinions for strength and wearresistance
• Model 580 features high-strength
alloyed cast iron gears
• Gears of the Model 770 are made
of ductile iron with 100,000 PSI
tensile strength
• Transmissions are easy to service.
Shear bolts for final drive provide
necessary protection against
overload
• New non-metallic cover prevents
rust and corrosion
For strength and
reliability, depend on
the power of Badger
barn cleaner
transmissions.
Here’s where durability begins,
Badger Barn Cleaner elevators
are built from Cor-ten Steel! CorTen steel is up to 8 times more
corrosion resistant than the steel
used by most competitors. It is also
20% stronger. Badger elevators
are available with flat or “TIPUP” paddle return. Simply stated,
Badger Barn Cleaners last a whole
lot longer than others.
Badger’s paddle wiper wipes each
individual paddle clean assuring
no manure carry over.
The heavy-duty design of
Badger’s reverse curve provides
ease of operation and longer life.
The curve’s full bottom features
3/16” steel plate reducing gutter
bottom wear and allows smooth,
steady chain flow.
Turning corners is trouble free with the
Badger corner roller. Big 12” corner rollers
are made of high quality cast iron with
1-1/2” greasable bronze bearings.
CHAIN
Strength and dependability are the bench marks of Badger Barn Cleaner chain.
Is there a difference in barn cleaner chain? You’d better believe it! From Flat
Link to Hook-Lok, Badger builds quality into every link.
DURA-FORGED® CHAIN
• High carbon heat treated forging have thickness where it counts for
extended wear life and strength.
• Large diameter alloy pins (3/4”). The pins are beveled for more
surface area contact while the chain goes through inclines and
declines.
• Pins are “double swedged” for a full tight grip and a large capped
head.
• Flat bars are an impressive 1/4” x 1-3/4 x 6-1 /4”.
• Chain is reversible for longer life and ease of installation.
• Bolt on paddles and 3/4” wide wear heels for long life.
• 10 year prorated warranty.
COLOSSAL® CHAIN
• More steel in the forging is where it counts with substantially thicker end sections
where chain wear occurs
• Smooth pin bearing area makes this premium chain run like precision roller chain
• High carbon heat treated steel forgings for maximum life
• Slotted area where slat attaches to forging for maximum stability and strength
• Bolt on paddles and 3-1/4’’ wear heel for easy maintenance
• Large diameter alloy steel pins (7/8’’) for greater load capacity and extended wear
• “Double Swedged” pins for a full tight grip and a large capped head
• Our side bars are the thickest and widest bars ever 5/16’’ x 1-3/4’’ x 6-1/4’’
• Chain is reversible for extended life and ease of installation
• 10 year prorated warranty
HOOK-LOK® CHAIN
BADGER HELD THE PATENT ON HOOK-LOK CHAIN!
• Easy to assemble or disassemble
• Grooved feature prevents uncoupling during normal
operations
• HOOK-LOK® is forged from high carbon steel and heat
treated for unsurpassed strength and durability
• Added thickness and reinforcement at critical wear points
• Smooth hook and loop casting assure maximum contact area
• Welded on paddles for maximum durability
• Bolt on wear heals for ease of maintenance
• 18 year prorated warranty
