3-Point Hitch Telescoping draft links

Yeah, I think the bending problem is being caused by turning without first raising the implement, and also backing up without first raising the implement. Too much torque on the stabilizers

I had these made up after I bent and broke a telescoping link twice.

Just broke the "solid" part(cast) of one of the telescoping links yesterday while boxing. Is this a stealer part or can I get it at tractor supply or?

I can't believe the system is designed to lift the implement whenever backing or turning. I think the excessive torque comes from the implement slapping from side to side because of it's loose design. Once again I never had a problem with the turnbuckle type. I kept them tight and the implement followed the tractor with no problem. When I mow with these new types, and I back up the implement does a serpentine before it settles down and goes straight.

Not sure which part you are talking about. I broke the part that attaches it to the tractor and my dealer had to weld a new part on. H replaced the other side as a precaution and you could see the wear from it hitting as it moved.
