| Saving
time, manpower and money. Big acreage operators are continually
discovering new ways to cope with short harvest windows. With
Badger dump boxes, you can experience virtually nonstop, high
volume harvesting. Because of their capacity, high lift and short
cycle time, they'll help you bring in higher quality forage, faster.
And you'll save money by not having extra transport vehicles with
drivers waiting in the field.
Higher
lift and better reach Reach
over and into receiver boxes and trucks with dump heights at pivot
from 10' to 15' for the 160, 11' 6" for the 112 and 11' 9" for
the 115. An optional riser kit increases pivot point 6" for the
112/115. As the boxes begin their lift, they also side shift to
move closer to the receiving vehicle.
Impressive
capacities Models come in 12', 15' and 16' box length with
capacities ranging from 750 cu. ft. to 1,212 cu. ft. with roof.
Lift and dump up to 24,000 (models 112/115) or 30,000 lbs. (model
160) 
Slaved
cylinder elevator raises loads evenly...requiring less oil
Forage choppers naturally load dump boxes heavier to the rear.
Badger dump boxes feature master and slave cylinders to raise
their loads uniformly without need for straightening cables and
pulleys. With this system, the large 5" master and 4" slave cylinders
require less oil. On the 160, independent tilt cylinders operate
from a second hydraulic remote valve.
Faster
cycle time lets choppers spend more time chopping Because
this highly efficient elevator lift design requires less oil,
it creates a faster cycle time of just 1 to 1-1/2 minutes (depending
on harvesting unit hydraulics).
Easier
dumping Extended pouring lip, a 46°-47° dumping angle and
smooth steel sides helps material slide out of the box and into
the center of the receiver. Left side dumping is standard. Right
hand dumping is optional on most models.
Automatic
opening roof The roof opens and closes automatically when
the box tilts. The steel mesh roof panels let air out, and light
in to see load level. Fill opening is wide and high.
Advanced
elevator lock out system On models with rocking bolsters,
as the box begins its lift, stabilizer cylinder(s) lock out the
rocking bolster to prevent its movement. On the 112/115, as the
box begins its dump rotation, spring loaded latches lock the slide
tubes. The design incorporates a backup secondary lock.
