John, when you used the 3pt hitch links for the upper mounts did you let both ends swivel? Does this allow sideways movement or is it pretty solid ? I like the idea for one thing I have the upper links, and you can adjust them for length. Less welding also on this one. If the links were mounted so they were not parallel, but either angled toward each other or away from each other at the backhoe end do you think that would cancel out sideways wiggle?
