The Wallenstein GE605 Backhoe is a subframe-mounted digging attachment designed for tractors rated from 15 to 35 engine horsepower. With a digging depth of 6 ft 4 in (193 cm), a 100 in (254 cm) reach from the swing post, hydraulic stabilizers, and a 150-degree swing arc, it is suited to landscaping, trenching, excavation, and general property-maintenance work. The GE605 combines a curved boom, greaseable pins, replaceable teeth, swing cushioning, and hydraulic operation in a compact backhoe package for compatible tractors.
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.
The Wallenstein GE605 is intended for tractors rated from 15-35 engine HP. A compatible subframe mounting system is required. The tractor must provide hydraulic flow of 4-12 gpm (15-45 lpm), with an operating pressure of 1800 psi (12411 kPa). The GE605 is not specified for skid-steer compatibility.
