Here's what I made a few years ago and yes I do use a drop hitch for some applications...

Nice work...pretty heavy duty.

 

Thank you all for your ideas. After looking at the hitch I there enough room to get a 3/8nut welded to bottom of the reciever.
As for the amount drop needed; yard roller, thatcher, and the yard wagon you see at lowes or tsc. All of which have a very low hitch point. For my equipment the 850 certianly needs more than the standard 4"drop hitch. Hence the adaptor.
The reason why im asking the question is I have a sleeve hitch that mounts to back. Then I attach my box plow for grading. With the two connection points there tends to be a lot of play in receiver/hitch ***'t.
