Up until now I've used the receiver on my fork attachment but it's got issues... like it's near impossible to remove so when I move pallets my receiver can cause damage to what's on the pallet or not allow me to load that extra 4" which does matter sometimes.
I have a spare blank\empty quick attachment plate that I'm thinking of turning into a dedicated trailer moving and lifting \ hanging attachment.
I know people have made these, can you share pictures?
My plans are:
I need something to move trailers, and also hang\carry things like full 50g drums, pull\lift an engine, hang & gut\skin animals, etc... while I do all this now with my pallet attachment and\or grapple it's not as useful (or safe) as it could be with a dedicated solution.
Any suggestions? Or things you wish you had done to yours?

- center receiver w\braces (so I can attach different size balls, pintle, shackles, etc...)
- [maybe] recessed receiver 4" or more above centered one... to be used with a special extension of 2' that slides into this receiver AND the other front-facing, to give 2' of distance having this additional receiver would give me added strength. (I do plan to build a 3-6' telescoping boom so I don't need this too long, but I do like having the option of sliding in a 2' extender for some reach.)
- trailer\tie down on each side of receiver
- receiver going directly left (On bottom of quick attach plate) <-- so I can add out riggers for stability, hang my gambrel on when gutting and skinning, etc...

- 2x 2 Ton hooks (the large style) on left\right of receiver
- 2-4x 3\8\|5\16 Chain Hooks (2 vertical, 2 horizontal is my thought)'
- [maybe] hand crank winch on top\back of the quick attach plate
