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.
