BackhoeReference

A PTO-driven 50-inch tiller, model 7-1261, was offered for the D-series tractors. The tiller required the three-point and PTO. In late 1977, Wheel Horse removed the Ark 550 loader and Brantly 617A backhoe from their list of approved attachments for the D-160 due to high axle failure rates and warranty claims.Reference
