I did the same thing a few years back using a plastic 30 gallon drum as my frame. If you do the same make sure to mount the bottom links toward the front of the barrel (I used a 3-point drawbar and ran it through the barrel.) and put the hole for the top link directly vertical to those for the lower links. When using it for the first time carefully check the clearance for the top link as it passes the edge of the barrel. Please do not ask how I almost know. It is plenty heavy for normal counter weight when using the loader, etc. I did the same using a 55 gallon barrel for the big tractor (86 HP) and it is equally useful. On that one I fabricated a hitch out the back of the barrel too. That way one can pull a wagon, etc. in a pinch without removing the barrel.
