I designed and had fabricated one for my White 2-85 out of rectangular tubular stuctural steel, A500 grade, yield ~50,000 PSI. All welding was ultrasonic grade full-penetration, low hydrogen. You need it for the low temperature toughness. It wasn't worth it to mess with tapering it and all that jaxx. Total cost about $550 in 2000, plus a few bucks for my fire chief to help me set it on my White with his Deere 7210.
