Nice looking job but be careful adding more weight to grain drills, esppeciallly in summerfallow or spring worked ground. Had a set of JD 10 in shovel drills with hugh boxes on them and almost lost the first crop I seeded with them. Set the depth with the boxes full and when they got about 2/3 empty they rode out of the ground and I was seeding in the dry. Thank god it rained or I would have had about 1/3 of a crop. Cousin had a set like them and he said never fill them more than 2/3 full. Disc drills might not be so bad. I generally have to go whiz after seeding a box full anyway. Good time to fill them. Or hook up another drill, you will seed just as much.
