Found some old footage from one of the wetter falls in recent memory. Took 2 tractors to pull this plow and bury a 6" inch tile pipe. Bergh Farms, Forman, ND, USA.
Interesting to see what some folk have to do around the world! First impressions apart from apparently small chain, Tire pressure far too high! That's some soil you have there
Yes drier days is always preferred. However we were getting close to freeze up in the fall and wanted the drainage in place before spring. Made a big difference.
Much of my family’s farm had plastic drain tile like that installed in the 70’s. The farm was in S.E. Minnesota in which fall rains made getting the crops in quite difficult with tractors and the combine getting stuck often. There were still raised ridges in the fields after the tile was installed and one day my dad was pulling the chopper and a full wagon too fast over one and the wagon tipped over. It was quite the operation getting it emptied and upright. I was a bit young so thankfully I didn’t have to help empty the wagon.
Thank you for showing this !
It's funny how the people in the comment section have negative things to say when they're not in the field doing the work themselves

Good job
Wet..? Good grief, that's just a tad damp for the UK!
what kind of gps system are you guys running? and also is that on sf-1?
would the ground get drier to do tiling some other day ? seems like alot of extra work to do in the mud

AWSOME
How much faster is this than using a trencher of similar size?
Pete Busch this is more effective puts tile right away trencher u have to lay by hand
Hello. I m from Portugal. Great job. Where can i buy drainage pipe like this?
Plainfield, Iowa
I'm not sure about Europe but any farm supplier should have it. I'm pretty sure plowing in tile like this is common in Germany
Thats cool
And a tile feeder so I Didn't stretched the tile!!!!! That's why there farmers an not a real contractor.....
Beauty beasts
I am from california and no one here does that can u explain what that is for??

Use a cable much safer
I disagree. When the cable breaks it could you in half like a knife
a cable will fly when it breaks , a chain won't fly if it breaks.
duggy788 a chain will fly with tension but if you put a rope through the chain it won't go as far
Early 70’s a neighbor was killed instantly when a big thick rope snapped trying to pull out an IH tractor backwards. The rope took the guys head off.
I use a 450 Quadtrac an pull a 6' soil max tile plow an can pull it with ease
Not in wet heavy clay soil you don't. Who you trying to kid
get a case quadtrac...
Andy Hass they wanna get something done
