Tow Bar welding who can safely do this?

[MWF FEED]

I have a tow bar on me 2004 RTV Ford tray back Ute and I'd like to update the hitch part.
I see the only way to properly weld the bar is to remove the entire thing and am wondering since I'm a capable TAFE taught Mig and Tig welder when it comes to welding a tow bar and tongue would I need to hand it over to a certified welder.
I'd like to do away with the hitch parts and replace them with a flat tongue and not one of those rattly square shaft hitches.
I'll only need to tow a 6 x 4 high side box trailer but safety first.
