My great uncle had one made from a steel barrel but laid the barrel down with a rod through the middle. No top link needed so it was very easy to hook up. I have no idea why he wanted it cause his loader was a 3 point hitch model.

Daddy had a 32 gal steel barrel full of concrete for his Ford 2000. It had a ball hitch on the barrel. Made it handy to pull a trailer. With a heavy industrial front end loader on the Ford 2000 and without tire ballast and the barrel it would have no brakes when going down hill with a empty bucket.

Cousin has one just like it on the back of their 8N with loader. Used it to clean out the chicken house back when they still grew chickens. Chicken house now makes pretty nice tractor shed. 8N had bucket side and front extensions welded on to get more crap in one scoop. That thing was a bear to steer, even with an empty bucket. I almost had it nasty side up one time from trying to back down a hill and turn with a bucket full of dirt. Almost went into the ditch before I got it stopped. Clinched up a good chunk of seat pad that day. LOL!

Most of the time I remember the D14 loader tractor had a 3 pt SC adapter and scraper on the rear so it had enough weight. There was also a 3 pt sprayer rig on the farm that used a 55 gallon drum on at 3pt frame, that was kept full of tire solution and used for weight sometimes too.
