Just be cautious when hitching or chaining high like that

I like the easy mover for $80, it is quick hitch compatible without having to move the pins, can be used without a QH and can be set up for a PATS coupler too. With the drawbar you have the holes available for other uses that you mentioned. it appears to cover all the bases.
None of the above have a way to add extra weight though. So be careful how you use these as the tongue could raise up in some cases.

I don't know about cat 1 3pt, but my cat 2 is suggested to be set for 7" above grade at the lowest point. Quick math says you'll need a 6" drop draw bar at a minimum, and maybe even an 8" to make that configuration work for a 18" ball height.
I used an old jeep bumper I built to add a hitch to, and while it's not QH compatible, it's been very handy. Not having to use the trailer jack at all is enough to spoil a guy.

Omni Manufacturing makes 3pt 2" receiver hitches that are quick attach compatible. I bought their economy 3pt hitch from them on eBay several years ago.
I see they are using photos I posted here on TBN of my hitch and tractor on their website. Well, they must have liked them, so they get my endorsement. :laughing:

Thanks so much for all the helpful advice!
I ended up purchasing the Titan attachments triangle one with a hitch. Primarily because there was an open box on ebay for $70 shipped. My plan is to purchase either the Tri-ball with a hook or just get a hook or d-ring receiver at harbor freight.
My tractor is only rated at 1438lbs on the pto so I really dont need anything super heavy duty. Other than the trailer I will probably only be dragging small trees. I also purchase the titan quick attach forks for the front loader. Ideally I would have like to have a 3 point hitch that would have allowed me to use the forks in the rear but I was unable to find a model like this other than a homemade version as shown below which is super cool and has a boom. I plan to make something similar in the future but I wanted to have something on hand when spring comes and we need to get the boat out.

I hadn't thought of the raised height making that much a difference. I think the quick hitch standard was 15" vertical and planned in running a 4" drop. I'll revisit that idea.
I just ordered the top link adaptor from HF and may just use the Titan triangle on the quick hitch if it all works together for the run around setup.The boxblade now has a receiver on it, and the bush hog and dirt scoop have no reason to be towing something ever.
I like the yellow version posted above. Lot of good ideas there.

Draw bar & Hitch Stabilizer vs Triangle hitch titan attachments
It won't work without it on the triangle. It is a call in order only. I did it today. It was 12.79 after applying a 20% coupon. plus 6.99 shipping for me for total of 19.78 in 5-7days via USPS.
Agrisupply has it for 9.99 but the shipping was nearly 15 bucks. I think total was 24.32. I found it there by searching only the word quick hitch. There's one there for 19.99 but it's a class 2 I think with pins.
This is what it looks like.
And here is where I need it first for my scoop and I hope it will work on the triangle hitch.
Be prepared to have to grind that top hook of the quick hitch inside the throat. Everyone else has had to. I got what I could on the edges with a 4"grinder and then hand filed the center down that the grinding wheel wouldn't reach.

Ok great thanks for the help. If you have some extra time could you post a picture of it connected to the quick hitch? I had planned on holding off on the quick hitch until the price drops to the sale price of $69.99. I do not really need it yet since my only two pto attachments are the triangle hitch and countyline carry all.
