Willy-N, I built a tractor hitch a few years ago using a drawbar and a vertical 3X3 member with a trailer ball on the top. I use it mostly during hay season to pull trailers with hay. The first time that I used it with my gooseneck trailer, however, I buckled the vertical member backing into the barn. The force pushed the vertical member to the side and the trailer coupling was jammed between the seat and fender when it finally came to rest. I strongly suggest that you add some diagonal braces from the outer part of the drawbar to just under the ball on the top. I do like the hooks that have been welded on the unit. I think I'll add some to mine. I've used mine in a similar way too, to lift cars and trucks at one end and move them around. Good job. Be careful with the boom. It could tip the tractor.
