Thanks for the compliment! I think that picture is from last year or maybe even two years ago. I'm not home yet to help out, so I'm not sure what it's like, but Dad says when the wind blows he can't see the cattle for all the dirt... so it seems to be fairly dry again this year. I'll be in ND on the 14th and will hopefully have some new pics to share shortly after...

It's an 8630 John Deere tractor hooked up to a tow-between type air seeder. The tank behind the tractor holds grain and fertilizer which is metered into tubes with high velocity air blowing through them. Tubes go back to the cultivator that has 4" wide spreaders on it to drop the seed and fertilizer. It is also set up to put down anhydrous ammonia deep banded (put in the ground deeper than the seed by about 4") with spikes.

I like the cast centers as well, keeps us from having to add even more ballast. It will spin out if the ground is a little wet, but otherwise I think it's just about perfect. Too much ballast and you have compaction issues, along with too much stress on the drivetrain.
Here are a couple of videos of the rig idling, and in action in the field:
