BigEddy, when I built my counterweight using a 55 gal (?) barrel cut down filled with concrete and lead I attached it to my 3 pt hitch. But I use chains attached to the lower arms and then to the top link pin so that the 3 pt hitch does NOT carry the weight but only the chains. I lift the barrel with the 3 pt hitch then lower it slowly until the chains take up all the weight. Did not want to exert too much pressure on the 3 pt. hitch.
