Installing 13 Miles of Drainage Tile on the Farm!

Installing 70K ft of Drainage Tile! Last video we finished installing on the Mains, and this video we're installing all of the laterals which run up and down the field and dump into the 8 inch main. The 8 inch main dumps into the creek next to the field. From start to finish this project took us 7 full days. Was super rewarding, and excited to see the results come growing season! This will make a drastic improvement to this farm. Most of these soils have potential but we're limited due to heavy soil with a high water table. Thank for watching! S/O to Ben, Dad, Spencer & Buch for helping! Took a lot of labor!

    Just a little piece of advice even tho it's too late now, but when you make your lateral connections you should use a T- connection. Everytime you drill into the main and stick that internal coupler in there it restricts the flow of the main.

    Hi Grant, l was told that old clay tiles will still attract water but actually create wet areas because the pipe is,nt emptying at the end, l can,t suggest a simple way to dig them up unless you can rip below the level of the old clay tiles using gps and your new tile map as a guide for avoiding damaging your new tile system maybe?
