Here's a local jewel

Never heard of this brand before, a Badger 1085. Anyone have any info on these things? https://raleigh.craigslist.org/hvo/d/red-oak-excavator/7018263815.html

I believe Badger bought the rights to the Case machine.

That looks like an old Drott. I have never seen one labeled for Badger. Did not even know they ever sold those under the Badger name. Well, you learn something new every day they say.

Hi Dave, Badger is a old Model name of wheel excavator which made by CASE construction equipment Co. CASE CE is subsidiary of CNH.

Badger is the newer name of the Case machines not the other way around. Badger also has the rights to some former Gradall machines.
