Mark: The barrel of concrete will do a great job for your intentions. I had one for use on 300 initially then 560 and 656. I put a 3 point cross bar through the barrel, about 14" from bottom and a top link attachment about same distance from top. Put some rebar in there tying top link and bottom cross bar together. Run rebar from top to bottom, then when barrel rusts out you still have a good counter weight. I have also seen guys put a flat bar out the back so they can hitch a trailer or other to back of barrel. I don't think you would want to do a lot of hauling with it, but it is great to be able to just move some implement out of your way. These not only give you great traction when doing loader work, but increase the tractor stability when doing loader work.
