Default Weight Ballast Build

I've got a 782 with a 3 point hitch and snow blower. I want to make a weight for the 3 point out of 5 gallon buckets and a draw bar. I know the top mount is 12 inches above the bottom mounts but how do I decide the height of the draw bar? This is my first tractor with a 3 point so I'm still figuring this out. If the bucket is sitting on the ground and I put the bar through at the lowest arm setting to hook up, won't the bucket drag when I lower the Snow plow? If I lower the attachment points I'd have to set the weight on a base to keep it high enough to hook up. Is that correct?
