OK guys, I didn't know where to post this. I may have a tractor problem, an implement problem, or (most likely) the problem is me.
For the second time this year while discing in a 5 acre food plot, I have snapped off a top link at the tractor end, just where the ball meets the threaded portion.
Tractor is a Deere 2010, disc is a 6.5 foot Howse 3 point disc. Top link is a category 1/2, I'm running it with Cat 1 bushings on both ends. Both times this has happened, the break was at the tractor end.
Am I doing some thing wrong? I don't turn corners with the disc down, but today I did turn to dodge a big rock. Not sure that is when the break happened or not.
Another observation. The chains that connect the lower 3 point arms to the tractor are broken on one side. Is this allowing the disc to sway too much? If so, how long should these chains be? Just enough to let the arm swing wide enough to be hitched to the disc?
What is causing this issue? Feel free to step me through the process of hooking up and/or adjusting. I didn't grow up farming so I'm a newbie to doing work with tractors.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
