HOT drill motors

While testing our mobile platform, we were able to run it about 20 minutes before the drill motors reached a temperature at which they where hot to the touch. Now that we have added our subsystem (effectively adding more weight) to it, we now have lessened that time to about 5 minutes.
Our drive system uses a manufactured drill output shaft, which we are supporting with one pillow block at the far end of it.. We are looking into adding an additional pilow block closer to the gearbox.
Should this be a concern? Hot much abuse can the motors take?
