1.1 Introduction

Congratulations on your choice of a Wallenstein Backhoe!
This equipment has been designed and manufactured for the
property owner planning on digging, excavating, or trenching.
These backhoes are designed for use on sub-compact tractors,
compact utility tractors, and skid steers. Digging depths
range from 6'-4" to 11'-4" (1.9 m – 3.5 m) depending on the
model. The GX920XT features an extendible boom, capable of
hydraulically extending an extra 24" (61 cm).
To install a backhoe on a tractor, it must have a front loader to
offset the weight of the backhoe. The front loader provides the
stability required to operate the backhoe safely.
This manual covers the following models:
• GE605
• GX620
• GX720
• GX920
• GX920XT
Safe, efficient, and trouble-free operation of this Wallenstein
product requires that anyone using or servicing the machine
reads the Safety, Operation, and Maintenance information
contained within this Operator's Manual.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to pass on
to new operators or owners. Call your Wallenstein dealer or
the distributor if you need assistance, information or additional
copies of the manuals.
