I am not sure of the correct terminology, but on todays tractors I see at least two ways of controlling the sway of the 3 pt. arms. Sway Blocks are like the JD 4020 has. Many newer and often smaller tractors have Sway Links that are either chains or some form of turn buckle from the tractor axle housing to the 3 pt. arm.
What are the pros and cons of these alternatives. In particular I am thinking of a mounted plow. When the plow is down you want the plow to track properly due to its own draft and the 3 pt. arms to be able to move right and left. In the raised position you want the plow to be stabilized right and left so it is not banging right and left as you travel over rough ground or hills.
I have also noticed the larger tractors seem to use blocks, the smaller tractors links.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
