The Badger 460 Hydro-Scopic excavator does the work of many machines: it can stand in for backhoes, trenchers, graders, loaders and lifters.

Better efficiency and higher profits

One machine does the work of many
You’ll get more hard work from one Hydro-Scopic than from any other machine in your fleet because a wide variety of easily changed attachments allow an amazing range of construction and maintenance tasks. Beyond its use as a precision excavator, Hydro-Scopic can stand in for backhoes, trenchers, graders and loaders. It can even be used for lifting objects of three tons and more.

Speed and coordination get digging jobs done fast
Only when you’ve seen Hydro-Scopic operate can you fully appreciate how its rapid, versatile actions pay big dividends in total yards moved per hour.

Imagine the productivity of an excavator that provides five working functions: the boom hoists and telescopes, the excavator swings and the bucket tilts and curls. All these operations can occur simultaneously, even while the carrier is in motion, under full control from the excavator cab.

New operators will quickly master these rapid, coordinated movements while experienced hands exploit Hydro-Scopic’s extreme flexibility to make quick work of production digging and loading.

FEATURES

Unique abilities no other type of excavator can match
More than handling the production work that other excavators can, however, Hydro-Scopic handles precision grading and finishing. And, Hydro-Scopic typically completes an entire task with no need for final shoveling by hand.

Other machines can’t match Hydro-Scopic’s abilities to work in tight spaces and around obstructions. Culverts, posts and powerlines pose little problem for Hydro-Scopic. With its precise controls and sensitive feel, Hydro-Scopic even works with great accuracy under water to clear or enlarge running ditches or to dig in flooded excavation sites.

The one excavator to have
Consider its many features and uses. You’ll agree that Hydro-Scopic is the most versatile type of excavator and over a thousand satisfied users will confirm that Hydro-Scopic heads the list for reliable productivity.

For minimum transit time
For most construction and maintenance projects, the 6 x 4 Hydro-Scopics have the traction you’ll need to get to the jobsite. Or, choose the sure-footed 6 x 6 version to venture even further off-road. No matter which truck-mounted unit you select, you’ll get the convenience of unlimited highway mobility, plus the time and cost savings of eliminating an extra truck needed to transport most other types of excavators.

Full-featured hydraulic remote drive
At the jobsite, the upperstructure engine powers the carrier using a hydraulic motor attached to the carrier’s transmission. From the upperstructure, the operator can control carrier speed, direction and braking.

Extra heavy-duty Badger carriers
Truck-mounted Hydro-Scopics are built on a heavily reinforced, wide-flange ‘I’ beam frame designed specifically for these excavators. Cross members are integrally welded and distribute working loads equally. The swing-bearing mounting structure is welded integrally to the frame adding to its strength.

Trouble-free fluid power system
The sealed reservoir has a built-in filter and a visual sight glass. An oil filter condition light is provided in the cab. All cylinders have precision-honed barrels and chrome-plated rods and use bolt-on heads for simplified maintenance. Relief and cushion valves are provided throughout the hydraulic system.

Precision-machined gear-drive turntable
A hydraulic motor provides 360° of continuous rotation on a ball-bearing turntable. For long life and smooth operation, the mating surfaces are precision-machined to very fine tolerances using a computer-controlled boring mill.

Exclusive wrist-action bucket
Our exclusive boom-tip hydraulic swivel holds its angle firmly for grading or contouring. It provides 180° of bucket tilt - 90° each way from horizontal - and is fully sealed against dirt and corrosion.

Hydro-Scopic's exclusive rectangular, fast-cycling boom holds accurate grade extended or retracted.

Rugged precision boom
Hydro-Scopic’s exclusive rectangular, fast-cycling boom holds accurate grade extended or retracted. Since the boom itself never pivots, maximum boom strength is maintained regardless of the bucket angle. Boom sections are continuously welded for strength and telescope on adjustable, heavy-duty rollers with aluminum-bronze bushings. Due to the square cross section with rollers at each corner, digging loads are always supported by at least two rollers no matter what the bucket angle.

Retracting railroad guide wheels
With its optional railroad guide wheels, Hydro-Scopic is an excellent tool for maintaining a railroad right-of-way and it gains this added use with no loss of flexibility to perform other tasks. The guide-wheel mechanism is hydraulically operated and is welded securely to a special, heavy-duty truck frame.

Works easily in confined areas
With the boom fully lowered, Hydro-Scopic works to within a few feet of the carrier. And, with its shorter tail swing, Hydro-Scopic works in areas where other excavators can’t. When used for ditching, Hydro-Scopic will let traffic flow, even on narrow roads.

First Class Construction

The Hydro-Scopics are quality built. T-1 steel is used in areas of stress, continuous welds, proven components and especially precision assembly.

Instead of shimming our gear-drive turntable, we machine the surfaces to very fine tolerances. We precision align-bore all of the boom pivot and hoist cylinder pins. Numbers and charts don’t show these differences, but you’ll see them with more years of trouble-free operation.
