Just some more info to quell any speculation of the top flex link issues.
After installation I backed the cutter up an embankment and it rose up to about a 35-40° angle with the tractor. No problem with the link doing what it should do and it could probably go another 15° before the linkage would start to bind.
What I did notice was the difference in bends between the new and old arms. The old arms have been straightened out. This leads me to believe tension is the factor here. In raising the 3 point if you just pull the lever up it's a pretty violent action and the cutter actually bounces a couple times. He agreed that he needs to be smoother in raising it.
Soooo... he also changed his mind about going to chains. If we have to replace another, it will be chains.
