Ray,
I am a beginner, so please excuse my ignorance.
If I put my position control all the way down so that the implement weight is completly on the ground, and I drive into a ditch, wont the whole 3 point give way in an upward movement? If so, wouldnt it behave the same way if I used the top link to support the implement?
Paul

When the lift arms reach the upper limit of their travel, the implement will try to continue rising with the slope of the hill behind the tractor. If this upward lift continues the implement will try to pivot, thereby forcing the master control spring to absorb all the excess movement. This is also the reason to never use a length of chain in lieu of a top link, as the chain(without a length of pipe to catch it) will allow the implement to flip over and smash you. I probably sound overcautious, and I am usually. I've farmed for many years without a disabling injury; too many years to take chances now.
