I’ve been wanting a video like this, I never understood this process before your video, thanks for sharing

Totally fascinating, first time I've ever seen tiling done. I've laid tile before in fields but not like this. Hope your able to go back in the spring to show the effects of this work.

Minimal disturbance looks like a good way to really loosen the way soil as well As always great to video Mike

These guys are smooth ! Pretty good conditions not froze to deep not to muddy not crazy hot . The old timers and their tile spade and three inch clay tile would marvel at this hugh ? The technology that designs and lays all that out is quite something cause water still has to run down hill and has to have an outlet of some kind ! This is one of the best tile laying videos I have seen ,those tile plows are serious horsepower and traction , I think there are considerably bigger ones than these ? This was a good year to have tile in just about any form or field ! Thanks for the interesting video !!

Nice video Mike. We do our own drainage here in Eastern Ontario with a JD 4760 and O'Connell drainage plow. A very rewarding feeling when your wettest ground goes to your dryest the next spring.

Excellent video, explains a lot. Thanks for posting it.

Little snow doesn’t stop the show!

bonjour.beau reportage de drainage en indiana.belle video, monsieur mike less.merci. pierre du sud de la france.

Yep I remember my great grandfather telling me as a kid how some tiling was done on the farm with steam shovels and I think there was the very old picture of it but that was 70 years ago

Really interesting video. Didn't think machinery like this existed.

When I was a kid, we dug the trenches with tile spades.. one spade full at a time. Much cooler now with the heavy equip. Was in IA, and there were two brothers who tiled together, dropping in clay tiles. Don't recall the time for a 40 acre field, but was surprisingly fast for hand labor.

here in uk clay pipes put in by hand horse plow ok 30-40s tractors came in and smashed in the pipes so plastic pipe the water logged fields

Thank you for sharing your amazing videos in 2019. God bless and merry Christmas to you and your family

My uncle had much of his farm tiled with a wheel shovel and clay tile. I remember the carts full of clay tile and helping load them onto the slide that fed them into the ground. There wasn't any laser depth control either. They used tall metal stakes with adjustable cross pieces used as guides for depth control. I thought it was genius. A few years later there was a plow and rolls of tile being used. A great memory of the old days.

Another great video Mike that was very interesting you sure put a lot into them thanks again hope you and yours have a nice xmas and a very happy new year 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍

Thanks for the video, never seen this done.

I always wondered how they connected to the mains with a tile plow. Now I know! I thought the plow would cut the main but I didn't consider it just went over the top.

Everything is done by gps now for direction and depth of plow. He knows how deep the mains are so he raises the plow just a bit to go over it.

Thanks Mike I've seen similar machines working in my area but have never got the close up view.

Great video mike , I like this is somewhat different to farming videos, we do tiling in our area as well , the neighbours had it done

Thanks Mike excellent job

Nice change in videos Mike...they do a lot of this in Southern Ontario...I've never seen the tracks on a tiling machine missing so many cleats...must be by design...more traction maybe..

Hi Mike a very good video of this work once again Graham uk

Very Interesting to see this done up close.

Same draining in the UK, but for one difference, 1inch gravel is laid over the pipe, this stops the build up of sand deposits in the plastic piping.

@farmcentralohio

4 жыл бұрын

Gravel on top of the tile is a waste of time and money around here. Anything that gets in the tile is flushed out during a heavy rain.

Was out in Greenville OH a month ago and saw some being done. Heard it’s about $1K per acre.

Old clay tiles work fine until they collapse and you hit a sink/suck hole in the dark with the front end of the tractor

Great video, it is great to see this work done up close. We had a neighbor that used a Buckeye ditcher to tile our fields with clay from Findlay and cement tile. It was hard work setting those tile into the ditcher. They used posts with height adjustable cross to set the level using a sight on the ditching wheel. I assume they are now using GPS to set the depth and tile spacing. It would be interesting to see how that works. Thank you Mike! Have a Merry Christmas

Water goes from the tile they are laying here to the main then that will generally hook into a big main or a drainage ditch and so on and end up going where any rain water runoff would eventually end up.

Asking my self why now a chain trencher or a vplow type? Is it the rocks that are in the soil?

Mike do they add pitch to the pipe as they trenching it in the ground? It seems from the video that this land is kind of level? Thanks so many videos talk about tile this really helps to better understand how it works.

VERY interesting video! Thank you! Did the 8" mainlines get laid in the same way, same machine? I presume the 4" laterals are perforated at some interval, but the 8" mainlines are solid, ... right? The 540hp Cat seems hardly taxed.

Guess that is what is called 'ridin the plow"........ We don't do a lot of that here in Ga. Mostly in the low lying areas where bottoms have been cleaned up etc... Like the folks in Texas we generally need all the moisture we can get! Couple of questions and they are do they charge by the foot or acreage and why was the second operator doing a zig zag motion with the plow?

old English measurement with pilgrim fathers

I live in Ridgeville Indiana

Around the 35.30 mark the machine seems to be wiggling from side to side - is it an 'optical illusion or just my imagination', and why when we saw the 'connecting operation' in the trench did he only connect one side to the main pipe, - was it because the field was on slight downward slope and we couldn't see it. Very interesting video - they do it just the same in the UK.

Moves the problem down stream, that’s all. Don’t blame the guy, proper soil drainage is necessary for yield but, water is getting from point A to point Z too fast.

Where does the water go? I don't see anyplace for pipe 36" deep to drain into.

It will go into the main drain line then to a larger main drain and or a drainage ditch.

I SEE PROGRAM YOU NATHAMON CHAIWADEE MY NAME IS LUS WOW SNOW I LIKE SNOW

Too bad you failed to mention how many feet of tile are on a spool, couplings for continuous runs are taped together to keep from separating, when he cut latteral to connect to main, he tied in both directions next to each other at that time; then bedded same. Chains dragging on ground were to avoid static electricity due to running on steel tracks. There is a cable with grab hook to attach to large tractor or bulldozer for losing traction in wet/soft spots. That covers what you did not. Your filming is great, you have a good voice for narrating, just need some details now & then. BTW have been involved with drain tile since age of 9 hand digging w/3 pt shovel, gen purpose spade, tile hoe, wooden folding rule & level. Supplied my own blood, sweat & callouses. Then onto backhoe & ten to wheel trencher & now tile plow. In northern Ohio we did on my land 6" mains , 4" laterals spaced every 25' on center due to heavy clay subsoil.
