My Uncle made some of these once. He took some huge brake drums off a semi or some kind of large peice of machinery, and welded some bolts inside pointing out to mount them when finished. He simply turned them up on the ground and filled them up, and smoothed off the top which would be seen facing out once mounted. He even painted them silver.
I later saw some car brake drum/cement weights on a garden tractor. I believe these car drum versions could be made for front wheels on large tractors if you leave the center open for the spindle.
These worked well, and made a neat custom hubcap like appearance in the center of the wheel.
