Towbar?

What is the best tow bar for an RV6A, to hook to the hitch on the front of my lawn tractor to push it uphill into my hangar when I am by myself?
What is the source and about what does one cost?
I have minimal weld skills and material around to make one.

Assuming you mean "tow bar", I use a plain old Bogert tow bar. The handle can be removed with a spring pin and I have a 5/8 steel rod with a ring welded onto the end that I can insert in its place. It allows pushing or pulling with a vehicle, or use with a handle. If you don't weld, any welder could do it for you in a few minutes for about $20 including the steel. Bogert does make several attachments for just such a purpose if that's easier.

Alternatively, you can get this at Sporty's
