I didn't feel like spending $150+ on the factory versions and I had some things laying around to do this. Total cost to me was about $10 and some time figuring it out. Steel and connecting hardware is 'SuperStrut' normally used for hanging conduit and electrical components. I had all of that available from past projects. I added a piece of chain link fence toprail (also leftover) inside the cross channel for a bit of extra strength. The vertical piece connecting to the toplink is an adjustable lift arm that was the only piece I had to buy. If fit inside the channel the same as the fence rail and is attached with a through bolt so it can be adjusted further if necessary. I could have done something else with parts I had, but this seemed to work out well. The strut section out beyond the ball lets me attach things that use a drawbar type coupler.
The welds are ugly and temporary until I find out if I need to change anything. Eventually, I'll redo them, clean them up and paint it all.
I don't move large heavy trailers, only a few things like utility trailers and a log splitter around the yard.
