I am not convinced by the rollers in front of the disc coulters.
The drawbar seems very high on the tractor.
The rollers in front of the disc coulters and the high hitch point on the tractor will not help the drill to cut into the ground in hard conditions.
My drill has no front rollers and sometimes I need to pull it with the front end of the drawbar almost touching the ground to sow the seed deep enough in hard dry ground.
There was nothing wrong with the original basic design in my opinion provided it was towed from a height adjustable hitch on the tractor, so it could be adjusted on the move.
I pull 4m with 100 hp slowly. Better than pulling 3m at high speed.
