I've got one down in the scrap pile. We used to pull it with an H Farmall. It's kinda hard to explain if you never saw one work.
Imagine a drum about half again bigger than a 55 gallon drum. With it laying on its side, cut a rectangular chunk out of the side that is about 1/3 of the drum. Leave the two end intact. Then along one edge of the rectangular slot, attatch a section of grader blade. Now on each end fashion a Pin sticking right out of the center. This attatches to a yolk that becomes the hitch.
There is catch system that will lock the drum in place, or when you trip it let it tumble.
You trip it so it starts digging, it will fill with dirt then roll over to the transport position (notched side up so the dirt doesn't fall out). You then drive to wherever you want to dump the soil, pull the rope that releases the catch and it tumbles over and dumps the soil out the slot.
That is about the best I can do.
You might search You tube and find a video of one working.
