I used the cutter before but never notice the top link until now. The bottom pins when raised are setting all the way down in the hooks on the QH. I'm concern that the cutter may jump out of the top link
Since you have used it on the QH before, and if the top hook hasn't been moved since you last had it on, it's most likely that you just never noticed that the pin doesn't sit all the way down in the hook.
Trying to judge scale on the picture, it looks like there is 3x of the pin diameter of hook above the pin. So if it's a standard Cat 1 toplink pin that makes it 3 x 3/4" or 2 1/4" that the pin would have to move up to come out of the hook. I doubt there is that much room for the bottom pins to lift before they hit the keeper bars which means it can't come unhooked. If the QH fits everything else you have with the top hook in the current spot, I'd leave it where it is and run it. Eventually if I ran out of other things to do, I'd modify the hitch on the cutter to suit. I've never understood the point of constantly moving the hook on the QH to fit everything, kinda defeats the "quick" part if you ask me.
