I was browsing around last week on TBN and I read a couple of threads about people who are using a chain in place of the top link for their bush hog. Something about it being better if you are cutting a rough area because the chain lets the bush hog move around more than the stiff top link does. Or, at least that's what I remembered about the conversation. Anyway, in all the discussion about using a chain no one had provided a picture to illustrate this setup. Does anyone have one that they can post to let me see how this works?
I cut a field that my son and his friends use to ride their ATVs in and if they do it after a rain the ruts they leave are treacherous when I'm cutting. The hog is constantly slipping into ruts, out of ruts, and across ruts. I can see how the top link would put a lot of stress on the connection point on the bush hog.
But then on the other hand, I thought that the purpose of the top link was to hold the implement steady?
Thanks,
Mike
