It's encouraging to see that the good ol' "man on (literally IN!) the ground" is still required, even in this era of powerful machines and technical successes such as laser-grading and levilling technology. Good video, Mike. Thank you!

Can't go wrong with New Holland

I've seen a lot of drain tiles put in, but I have never seen where the ends come to a collective point. I imagine the will hook up in the south east corner. I know this field and that end of the field usually collects the run off from the field just to the south of the field. (It has a culvert under the road, but many times it gets plugged up with the corn "trash" left on top). Thanks for showing this clip. I live about 3 miles from this field and you really made my day sharing this , another great video.

Alright. So this is actually pretty cool. I recognize that field as my grand parents used to live right down the road and I grew up 10 miles from there. Found your channel from the millennial farmer channel. Definitely interesting to see this. My neighbors growing up farmed but they also installed tile but they had a few different models of the dedicated tile machines.

Always interesting to see drainage projects. The only problem is once you start and see the results, it's hard to stop!!!

Good to see some of my type of good blue gear

Hope they like that T9 with those tracks as we had a 2015 T9 with the high idler tracks and it was hellish, ended up shook the exhaust till it came apart and broke the hood hinges too

In New England, the soil is commonly stony enough to require an excavator to dig a typical 4' trench for tile. We used to consider 1000' per day a good day.

We too do our own field drainage. Use a John Deere 4760 and a 3pt O’Connell plow. Nothing more rewarding then seen the results the next spring. Dairy and crop, from Eastern Ontario. Love your videos Mike.

Great video Mike!! Always great seeing tiling jobs!

Mike, you're wrong! Not everyone just comments to tell you that you are wrong! LOL! It is nice to see a bunch of New Holland equipment at work. Take care.

Like you said sometimes you think everyone farms the way you do. was a teenager when I went to Omaha to visit my brother in the AF. We drove through the corn field and I couldn't understand how they irrigated . In Idaho when we grew corn for silage we had to irrigate the heck out of it. I knew it took a lot of water to grow corn but they had no ditches or pivots but now I bet they had tile.

Not sure if that is done anywhere in this part of the globe, maybe New Zealand might be wet enough to need drainage. Mostly in Aus we’re looking for all the moisture we can get. Regards from Down Under.

The tracked new holland looks cool😉👍 great video👍👍

Nice equipment 👍👍

@@atomicwedgie8176 there ya go lol 😆. Yeah getting ready for spring planting.

A very good video about tile drainage, and thanks for showing. As I watch videos about farming, and about guys rebuilding decades old tractors and trucks, will these trucks and tractors have a future? By that I mean all these government plans for the so called 'green economy' seem to want to eventually get the world off fossil fuels. The rest of this decade is okay for fossil fuel supply, but what about 10-20 years from now? I hope to buy a diesel pick up truck in the near future, and I want crude oil diesel only--not bio diesel. I'm hoping someone can ease my mind about this.

Hello everyone good vidéo mike less

I like Mike less videos on KZread from the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲🇺🇲

Great vídeo Mike.

Interesting that you still call the plastic pipe tile! Here in Northern Ireland we always put stone over the pipe and many people prefer to stretch the pipe to open up the holes a little.

Use to be a potato farm wit4 irri6ation back in t4e day. Drove by today and noticed it was tiled. Nice Video.

Good video.

Mike, you always do a great job!

Good job

Nice

I like to hear you talk. It al make sense.

Question - How do they know what depth to set the plow too? Is this determined before they start and controlled via GPS as well? Thanks for all the great videos.

I noticed that it did not look like they capped the ends of the tile, do they just assume the weight of the dirt will crush it flat?

Some guy do and some don't. I'm guessing with the way they are ending all of the tiles in this area its not going to cause an issue. I believe the open end will plug itself with dirt on its own.

High clay content will allow the end to plug and not allow 'silting'.

If you start at 4:00 mark when he gets out of the tractor he puts the plug in his mouth then cuts the tile then puts the plug in when his back is turned. We plug all our tile ends

I notice that when they came to the end of the field that they did not put a end cap on the title. Would that not make a sink hole if the title is open

How long do these tile installations last?

I was told 100 years or longer. Most of what you are seeing here is replacing the old clay tiles that were put in long ago and this plastic tile should outlast those.

Great video as always. Ignore the willful haters, it's rather freudian if they live to troll your videos, all it publicly proves is their emotional infancy and that they have no life of their own.

No Palestine Ohio is in western Ohio near Indiana and East Palestine is real close to the Pennsylvania line in eastern Ohio. The farm auction video I did a few weeks ago was near the train derailment in East Palestine.

It doesn’t look like there is a sock around the perf pipe…won’t the intake slits of the perf pipe just clog up in time?
