Hopto Digger

[Drakhonan]

Hi everybody,
Can someone help me with information about this machine?
I have tried to search on the internet but doesn't find anything about this particular backhoe-pulled by a tractor.
Is there any literature like;
• Manual/instruction book
• Sparepart lists
• Workshop-book
• Exploded view (if possible)
• Lubrication scheme
• History about Hopto Digger

Best regards from Sweden

There have been several corporate buyouts over the years, since Badger equipment was made. The parent company now is Gradall, located in New Philadelphia, Ohio. I don't know if they would have any archives of companies they've bought out over the years, and their machines or not. It can't hurt to send them an email, and find out.

Here is a link to their contact page. Contact Gradall for Information about our Excavators

Gradall and HOPTO were separate divisions. Badger Construction Equipment is the successor to HOPTO. Badger is owned by Manitex.

Gradall won稚 have any archives for that machine.

Okay- then I must write to Manitex instead. Thanks a lot for information.
I hope I can get an answer from that company.
