Do not like the weld across the drawbar extension section. Advice from engineers was to avoid cross welds rather better to locate welds along the tube sections. This certainly was proven when building chisel plow and similar ag box section style units.
Kallen's point about extending the drawbar further back to intersect the underbody chasis members is also worth considering IMHO
