Don, a hyd top link will sure help with a forklift, but you should be able to adjust your 3pt hitch to make a level, parrallel, lift. This mostly depends on how long your top link is, and how far up/down the top link mount is on the implement. Without seeing anything, you probably need a longer top link, and the link mount on the forks should be a bit lower.
Again, not saying you don't want the hyd top link - just that the whole point of the 3pt was to have that parrallel linkage, but most folks don't seem to get there from here - it's all in the adjustments... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Even with the hyd top link, you will want the lift to move parrallel anyhow, so might as well study it out.
