bailing wire, is in the top 5 items to have on tractor at all times.
run a little bit of bailing wire through the stablizer pieces, doesn't not have to be much, but will help keep things from "un-spinning" and falling apart, and dropping some place in the last few acres you did something (never to be found again)
top link and side link turnbuckles do same thing. so they do not come loose (unspin) and fall off some place never to be found again.
other words, it has happened enough time over the years. that time it takes to deal with bailing wire, vs trying to walk around and find something, and then eventually going buy a replacement. cheap bailing wire = nice safety measure.
