Built for Landscaping and Excavation
The GE605 is designed to mount to a suitable tractor and handle landscaping or dirt excavating jobs. Its 6 ft 4 in digging depth and 100 in reach from the swing post provide practical working range for digging operations, while the hydraulic stabilizers help support the attachment with a 72 in spread. The backhoe reaches an overall operating height of 91 in (231 cm) when fully raised and offers 8.5 in (22 cm) of ground clearance.
Digging performance is rated at 1250 lb (567 kg) of SAE dipper boom digging force and 2054 lb (932 kg) of SAE bucket digging force. The boom lift capacity is 250 lb (113 kg). These figures describe the specified capabilities of the backhoe and should be considered alongside the tractor’s hydraulic system, mounting arrangement, and operating requirements.
Tractor Requirements
