Crawford County, Robinson, Illinois

I had mine on a CIH 7140, it was a load when full of beans, the front was light when lifted, but with a full rack of weight it handled it well.  I liked the light front part unless on hills, just lift the drill, turn the wheel a little, and tap the brake and it would turn right back where you wanted it, with a little practice.  No cart needed, no coulters needed, INMHO.  Watch your sway blocks on the 3-point, one of mine broke and the gauge wheels took out an outside dual on the rear.  Good drill, I put cyclo sensors on each row and could monitor seed with my planter monitor.  Only downside is one row will empty before the rest of the drill is empty, carry a plastic bottle cut off for a scoop so you can redistribute seed when getting close to empty.  Sometimes I just carried an extra bag of seed if using bagged seed, added it to that side when nearing empty.
