The Wallenstein GX Series Ranchho Backhoes can be mounted on the category 1 three point hitch of tractors, or on the front of skidsteer loaders (some sub-frame mountings are also available). These backhoes are designed for agricultural and industrial use, and depending upon which model you choose, they are available with digging depths of 5.5 ft., 6 ft., 7 ft., and 9 ft. Several bucket sizes are available: 9 inches, 12 inches, and 15 inches wide for the GX-500, and 9 inches, 12 inches, 15 inches, and 18 inches and 24 inches wide for the GE-605, GX-620, GX-720 and GX-920.
The heavy duty reinforced category 1 and 2 three point hitches (and the skid mounted models) come with a feature that is exclusive to the GS series backhoes - The tie back kit. The tie back kit allows you to brace the top link mount of the backhoe to the tractor's drawbar (or to the skid mount plate on skid steer loaders) to reduce the pull from the digging motion on the connection point where the top link connects on the tractor. The tie back kit reduces the strain by approximately 50 percent. The new curved boom over arching design allows you to dig deep without impacting the edge of the excavation. This feature protects the backhoe from unnecessary damage and prevents ground from falling back into the hole.
Features/Specifications
All models are designed for a wide variety of digging applications for agricultural and industrial use
Several models to choose from, they mount on the category 1 three point hitch of a tractor, or on the arms of a skidsteer loader, and also a sub-frame mount for certain compact tractors, check with us for availability
Sub-Frames are bolted semi-permanently to the tractor, but the backhoe quick releases from the sub-frame mount with two bolts. You can quick release the backhoe, and then reattach the three point frame with 4 bolts and use the backhoe on a different tractor using the three point hitch mount.
They can be powered by the tractor's or loader's hydraulic system, or if you purchase the optional hydraulic pto pump, you can power it with the tractor's 540 rpm pto
All models (excluding skid steer mounted) have easy-to-use joystick style levers. Dig deep and curl the bucket at the same time the the four way controls that operate the boom, stick, and bucket, and each stabilizer is lever controlled as well.

Sub-Frame Mounting Options - See The Chart Below
When ordering the sub-frame mounting kits with a backhoe, order them in the drop down menu on the order page of the backhoe you are interested in.
Model WLSF -(see charts above): Sub-frame mounting kits if you want a semi-permanent mounting instead of the three point hitch mount, wt. of sub-frames vary from 200 to 325 lbs. - Click the link below for price and/or to order (no extra shipping on this component when ordered with a backhoe), otherwise plus shipping, ships by truck
Note On Sub-Frame Mount: Installation is relatively easy - each sub-frame is designed to bolt to your tractor. You will need to remove the three point hitch arms to attach the rear part of the sub-frame. The three point hitch cannot be used when the sub-frame is bolted to the tractor (including when backhoe is removed). To use the three point again you will have to remove the sub-frame. This mounting is considered a semi-permanent type mount except removal only takes 15-30 minutes, so this mounting is still convenient to use, and it is the most solid. The other end of the sub-frame bolts to the loader mounts on the frame regardless of whether or not you actually have a loader on the tractor at that time. The sub-frame should have any other cut-outs and bolt holes already in place for relatively easy bolt-on installation.
