Today's high capacity forage harvesting requires bigger forage boxes and faster ways of getting the job done. Badger offers receiver boxes for running gear, truck and trailer mount to meet these needs. They can be side loaded with Badger high lift dump boxes, or can run behind or along side self-propelled forage harvesters. Badger offers an extensive line of forage handling equipment to help you bring in higher quality forage, and get it into your silos, bunkers or bags faster.

A growing line...
You’ll find more models to choose from, plus new configurations to add convenience to your work. The entire line is available either with roofs or as open top models. Truck mount and trailer models add more choices to fill every need.

Higher capacity...
The entire line is available in box lengths up to 20 feet. Optional 4" higher roof or side extensions add even more capacity. Heavy weight constructed running gear is available in either single or tandem axle wagons or tandem axle trailers.

Receiver Boxes
Receiver boxes are ideal for top filling because there are no obstructions such as rafters or supports in the center of the box. The sides are reinforced with both a heavy " Z " shaped side sill and a massive structural beam going full length on the top edge of both sides along with a cross support at the front and rear of the forage box. The side stakes are the largest in the industry measuring an impressive 5" x 2-1/2" in size.

Side Extensions and 4th Beater
The receiver boxes can be fitted with side extensions to increase the load capacity. With the side extensions it is recommended that an optional fourth beater be added to ensure a smooth flow of material to the blower.

Trailer Mounted Receiver Boxes
The Badger 1250 receiver box mounted on a tandem axle trailer is an ideal way to handle the needs of having to fill bags and upright silos along with bunker silos while obtaining a smooth ride with good trailing and maneuverability. It is not uncommon to be able to travel one or two gears faster in field conditions than with a conventional steerable wagon. When boxes are mounted on trailers, the PTO drive lines can remain attached to the tractor. You can start the PTO before leaving the tractor saving two trips in and out of your tractor cab not having to attach and detach the PTO drive line while at the blower or bagger. While using in a bunker situation it is not necessary to leave the tractor at all.

A solid foundation to carry the load...
Unitized Construction

FLEXIBLE ENGINEERED CONSTRUCTION
Terrain Hugger™ design provides integral strength, with dynamic tolerance to flex as terrain and load varies. Steel unibody design provides an excellent strength-toweight ratio and a lower center of gravity. Proven in the roughest, wettest conditions to withstand stresses caused by changing loads and field conditions.

UNITIZED UNDERSTRUCTURE
Foundation of the 1250 forage box. Four side and center stringers run full length...and combine with other formed high strength steel frame members to make a durable integrated assembly. This design distributes loads evenly over the box's full length, and provides a balance of rigidity and flexibility that assures long life under tough field conditions.

UNITIZED STEEL BOX
Exclusive design incorporates the latest in engineering and manufacturing methods to break the technology barrier and to revolutionize forage box design. Backed by a 10 year warranty.

FULL LENGTH SIDE SHEETS
Made of tough corrugated 20 gauge aluminized steel.
Contributes to the integral strength of the box assembly.

FULL LENGTH STEEL STRINGERS
Formed from EX-TEN® heavy duty alloy —67% stronger than
conventional steel.

MASSIVE STEEL UPRIGHTS
Multiple 90° bends create 4-sided uprights with twice the
strength of others, and present a smoother, cleaner appearance.

Triple Spiral Beaters
Slant back spiral beaters mounted in ball bearings, not bushings.
Large diameter triple beater design provides uniform feed flow. Top beater setback practically eliminates carryover and enhances unloading performance by creating a smooth flowing waterfall of crop.
Right angle bevel gear box drives beaters all from the gear box side, not cross conveyor discharge side. This provides less stress on beaters and eliminates twisting.
Tapered roller bearings on the input and output shaft.
Extra strength 11/4" input shaft.
Bearing and gear lubrication is oil bath, not grease-filled.

Rafter Free™ unobstructed roof
Allows unobstructed rafter-free crop loading and unloading. Corrugated and formed heavy gauge aluminized steel has superior strength, appearance and corrosion resistance. Heavy duty roof edge protector. Removable in sections for loading combined corn.

Optimum control. Ease of operation.

Grouped Operator Controls
Single handle engages beaters and floor apron independently. Move handle sideways to start beaters. Pull forward to set floor apron in motion
Low sight holes for good visibility
Safety clutches easy to reset

Rugged Worm Gear Final Drive
Floor apron drive uses a hardened steel worm on the input shaft, and bronze worm gear on the output shaft with a 50/1 reduction
Tapered roller bearings on input and output shafts
Oil lubricated...gears run in oil bath

MOUNTING SADDLES
Provide attachment to running gear or truck frame. The rear saddle can be moved to insure correct weight distribution for single or tandem axle. Reinforced rubber pads are positioned between bottom of saddle and wagon or trailer frame.
CLUTTER FREE DESIGN
Removes bulky wood and steel structures for a clean and open appearance...and a lower center of gravity.
ONE PIECE SILL
Runs full length to support the roof adding to unitized box integrity.

Front Drive System
The front drive chain is spring loaded to ensure the proper tension and eliminates chain whip.
Independent Drives for Auger and Outfeed —
Unequalled Crop Unloading Control
Exclusive feathering clutch system coupled with a 16 speed shift-under-load variable speed transmission lets the operator start extra full loads smoothly.
Outfeed Feathering Clutch
Allows the operator to feather the outfeed apron to help start heavy loads slowly, without producing clumps that can block the forage blower. This clutch is also the quick-release safety clutch. The PTO turns freely for easy hookup.
Beater Clutch
Allows the operator to clean the beaters, without bringing the load forward. Single handle allows operator to start and stop the beaters and to engage the floor apron to break up big clumps and ease them into the outfeed.

Cross Conveyor Chain Restraints
Reduces potential residue buildup over full length of cross conveyor.
Removable Cleanout Panel
Bottom of unit pan has access panel for easy seasonal cleanout of material.
Heavy Duty Needle Bearing PTO Driveline

Unobstructed Unloading
Rear door hinge point is at roof height so tops of loads aren’t shaved off.

Hydraulic Drive
Hydraulic drive is standard on rear unload models and the rear unload operation of front/rear unload models. It is optional on the front unloading operation of all models.

Automatic Rear Door
Opens automatically when unloading apron is engaged. Closes and relocks when box is empty without having operator leave the tractor.

Oven Cured Primary & Finish Coating
Assures superior corrosion protection, and creates the best
appearance of any forage box on the market.

Front/Rear Unload 2 Direction Drive
Unloading direction is easy to
change and requires no tools. Simply
move a drive coupler from the front
shaft to the rear shaft, or vice versa.
No need for time-consuming changing
of drive chains.

Swing Open Access Panels
Shielding on gearbox and belt drive systems is smaller, more secure and provides easier access. Front hinge prevents panels from catching the wind during transport if accidentally left unlatched.

Box Floor
Is 5/8" pressure treated marine grade plywood. Front/rear unload boxes have super slippery poly clad floor to reduce friction and stress in either direction.
