Description
The Wallenstein GX720 Backhoe is a versatile attachment designed for substantial digging, landscaping, and dirt-excavation work. With a digging depth of 7 ft 8 in (234 cm), the GX720 is suited to rural property maintenance, drainage work, trenching, and general excavation tasks. It can be configured for compatible tractors or skidsteers and features hydraulic stabilizers, dual swing cylinders, a curved boom, replaceable teeth, and a 180° swing arc. Hydraulic hoses and couplers, along with a flow divider, are included to support installation and operation. The mounting kit and bucket are not included in the price.

Built for Excavation and Property Work
The GX720 provides the reach and digging depth needed for a wide range of excavation applications. Its 123 in (312 cm) reach from the swing post and 7 ft 8 in digging depth help operators work across trenches, landscaping areas, and other ground-level projects without requiring a dedicated excavator. The backhoe delivers an SAE-rated dipper boom digging force of 2,300 lb (1,043 kg) and an SAE-rated bucket digging force of 3,800 lb (1,724 kg).
Hydraulic stabilizers and an 89 in stabilizer spread provide a broad support position during digging. The dual swing-cylinder arrangement and swing cushioning support controlled boom movement, while the 180° swing arc helps position the attachment across the working area. The boom has a lift capacity of 925 lb (420 kg).
Compatibility and Mounting
The Wallenstein GX720 can be mounted using a compatible subframe, skidsteer universal plate, PT302 Cat I 3-point mount, or PT322 Cat II 3-point mount. The attachment is suitable for tractors with 30–65 engine horsepower and skidsteers with 30–75 engine horsepower. Confirm that the selected carrier and mounting system meet the required hydraulic flow and pressure specifications before installation.
Tractor and Hydraulic Requirements
For tractor applications, the GX720 requires a carrier in the 30–65 engine HP range. The hydraulic system must provide 5–27 gpm (19–102 lpm) of flow and operate at 2,250 psi (15,513 kPa). Hydraulic hoses and couplers are included. A suitable mounting system is required, and the price does not include the mounting kit or bucket.
