Default Terminology question

I need a bearing that has a SQUARE "hole". I have heard these are used on
disc harrows. It is to be used to stabilize a piece of 2" hitchstock that
is about 12' tall. The center bore has to be 2" square. What do I Google
or ask for at a farm supply house? Thought I'd shop ahead on Google before
going to the local farm supply house.

Why wouldn't you make a 'round to square' adapter
with your lathe and welder?
That way, bearings are 'way cheaper.

Clean up ID with files,
Press into ID of pipe,
Weld and turn pipe OD to
press fit with bearing ID.
