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.
