Joel, I got one a few years ago. Had to do some pin modifications to my rotary cutter and get another top hook for the Quick Hitch. You are right about the top hook not staying in place when you push an attactment. Yes I would buy it again.
Not to rain on your parade, but I thing you're thinking backwards on top link. With a blade the top link has pressure towards tractor. How do I know, scraper blade hit a big root and bent end forward in a horse shoe shape. That is why I think you're backwards in thinking. Now a rotary cutter will work the way you said. I worked for an equipment dealer and we would use a chain for top link. That way going in a big dip in field it would give so it won't bend top link. Not to pick on you but think about it .Thanks for the videos I watch about all of them.
I used the half inch. Can't find it at tractor supply anymore but amazon carries it. www.amazon.com/Galvanized-Eye-Swivel/dp/B00WAJM3QI Been using it 7 years now with no problems.
