[AT] Good tractor day

Using a chain for a top link is OK for brush mowers, but you need 
something pretty rigid for almost anything else, especially a backhoe. 
When I sold Woods equipment, the three point backhoes required a steel 
bracket arrangement that bolted to the final drive housing to attach the 
top of the backhoe. Anything less would tear up the top link attachment 
point, especially if the tractor had a draft sensing mechanism that 
worked off the top link (like Ford, etc., not IH).
