Get a length of 3" thick wall pipe and a couple of profile cut ends from 16mm plate, alternatively get an ex MOD recovery bar - they'll tow the Queen Mary.

2 weld on agricultural trailer eyes and a piece of tube. Slot it, slide the ends in and weld up. Job done.

It seemed to be widely practiced to pack the tube with wood, to make the tube less likely to bend and kink when used for pushing.
I didn't really pick up on this until I had welded mine up. I never found out what is the best way to do it but assumed shorter pieces of closely fitting "dowel" hammered in, would be preferable to one continuous slacker fitting rail; the idea being to hold the walls of the tube out than actually incorporate the strength of the wood. Anybody have comments/experience on this?

Mines just a piece of channel and it manages fine, a tube would be infinity better but it was what scrap i had to hand!

Its pushed my 10 (ish) ton fowler roller about 6 miles home up some hills with a 4wd tractor no problem. That was when we broke down!
