XT1600 lift arms have a quick attach mount plate which makes it easy for an operator to connect different
attachments. The unit is designed for operation in temperatures typically experienced in earth moving and
construction work environments. Provisions may be required to operate in extreme temperatures. Contact
your Ditch Witch dealer.
