Offset towing hitch

Does anyone have pictures of an offset hitch for your pickup for towing a haybine on the road? I have a JD 1209 moco that is a booger to tow.
Always worrying about mailboxes on one side and oncoming traffic on the other. I tow with an F-350 flatbed.
Thanks for the help.
 
I made a hitch out of a VERY heavy duty angle that goes across the back of my F550 and cut holes in it so I can hitch all the way across.Also welded a regular receiver in the middle to slide in various hitches for towing about anything.
 

My friend that picks up new equipment transfers for dealers made a bracket with a receiver receptacle on far left rear of his truck for towing implements such as Mo-Co's/haybines/small sq balers
 
Here's mine made it late last winter when a piece of 8 inch channel iron showed up in the "drops" pile at the local steel sales. If you have ever looked at a GM bumper, you can see that the only real steel in it is a piece between the frame rails. The rest is plastic and thin probably rusted out sheet metal. No good at all for protecting the truck box if you back into something solid. I don't brag about my welding, but I can sharpen a drill bit and I have a good drill press. It's all put together with grade 8 bolts. There is a factory hitch bolted to the frame, and the bumper is bolted to the frame rails and the hitch. The receiver on the left is a tube I got at HF. It's bolted to the bottom of the bumper and to the frame rail. I also found a 3ft. piece of tube that fits in the receiver and I welded a flat step about 8 X 10" on it to use as a step to get up into the box. It's long enough to stick out beyond the tailgate when it's down. Somewhere on YT there are pictures taken during the build if you know how to search them out.
