I didn't price one but I can imagine. I don't have a need for dual receivers so I bought a receiver that slides onto my pallet fork carriage.
I slide the forks off, slide the hitch on and move trailers with the skid steer.

Terry was commenting on the price of the Cushion Coupler gooseneck hitch.
Skid Steer Solutions also makes a single receiver hitch on the strongest backplate that I have ever seen.
The hitch will bolt on the top set of threaded holes also.

I've got an ETerra backhoe attachment for skid steers from Skid Steer Solutions and it seems pretty well built. $295 is a little (OK, a lot) more than I'm willing to pay for a SSQA hitch receiver when the setup I have works just fine for my occasional use. It also gives me an extra use for the fork carriage.
If I had a large lot and had to jockey several trailers around often I would consider the other unit for sure.

That is a nice feature and the plate is taller. I have my eyes on this beast if a plate. 1/2" thick

This is what happens to that style when it is overloaded.
The 1/4" top plate bent up and the fork frame fell off.
The one you linked to has a 3/8" top plate, but no gussets.
What are you going to put on it?

Made a dolly for the hitch.

Update to this old thread, still using the Dual Receiver Hitch. New link: Eterra Hitch Dual Attachment for Skid Steer Loader | Skid Steer Solutions
Price has gone up but with the gussets, it is still the strongest one that I have seen:
Added to the dolly so it would work without the drop hitch in the bottom receiver:
