On one of my last tractors, it had a very large concrete counterweight on the back, and instead of it being picked up by the 3 points, of the 3 point hitch, it was only picked up by the lift arms, and the top link was removed, and there was a bracket that lined up with the top link mounting bracket, then the pin was inserted into the top link mounting bracket and "locked" the counterweight in place. I dont' know if this was a good system, because it puts a lot of weight on the 3 point top link bracket, but it was how it was, we never took the counterweight off though as it was such a PIA.
