Some of the early ones had issues with fires caused by hoses rubbing together in the pivot area, leaking oil and burning up. Good area to keep an eye on.

the 276's were the worst on the lot and a few early 9030's if they don't burn in the first 2000 hours they probablely won't. I wouldn't ranch without one.

I don't know much about the 160 other than it was a very early model.
I believe it had a Waukesha engine...
You might want to look into parts availability for that beast through Dresser before you dive in ears deep.
If that's no concern to you, go for it.
There's a number of Bi-di's around this area and they're certainly handy for a lot of things, especially snow removal around here.
