How To Tow Military Trailer with Lunette Ring Using 2" Hitch

Question

Question:

Hi. Ive got an old military trailer that has a 3inch pintle lunette. I will be pulling it almost exclusively in the woods, with a tractor with a 2inch receiver adapter. What choices do I have in hitches that will result in the least slop? Thanks
