IT'S GETTING SLOPPY! Drainage tile projects!

Tiling projects have kicked off as I try to finish up a few projects in preparation to move north.
We head up to DMACC to visit the Soil-Max demonstration day.
iowANFarmer, Ben Van Roekel, is a 2nd generation farmer in southern Iowa. His goal on KZbin is to showcase what young farmers have to offer to the agricultural community. He hopes to give the general public a glimpse into what life is like on an American corn, soybean, and hay operation. The channel will focus on farming equipment, repairs, precision ag, and daily operations on the farm. Join him in his daily trials and tribulations in the changing agricultural environment.

Yea! You're back.👍

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Ben and Bandit

[@hfff1]

Excellent job Molly!!

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

I’ve told you before, I love watching how things are made! It’s also nice to see American factories still operating.

[@shealy265]

Look forward to the cross channel tiling video. May your equipment survive the adventure break down free.

[@jimpolk]

Molly did a great job! I was a bit puckered when you almost sunk that mini excavator. Whew!

[@brandonweiss6782]

Drag an old two row cultivator out of a fence row and remove all but one shank in the center.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Hello 👋 to your dad Ben

[@385cat9]

Love the knowledge you give. I'm learning a lot from your videos. So the answer is yes I want to see the tile plant tour.

[@kylereed7526]

I absolutely love doing tile.

[@iowANFarmer]

It’s super rewarding.

[@gregcatlett1458]

Where have you guys been!! 😂😂 Ben you need to get the tile business going soon. Thanks Ben an Molly,don’t be to long between videos had me worried!!

[@stevebiddle8912]

Great footage of your project

[@iowANFarmer]

👍

[@gskinner91]

We tried row cleaners not aggressive enough tried planter marker still not aggressive enough just took to normal disc blades offset them against each other and it will make a very nice mark for you

[@musikmaan]

You’ve really stepped up the music in your videos 👌🏻

[@iowANFarmer]

Thanks!

[@stanhensley3082]

😎 video!! Thanks 😊.

[@salt-team-six5883]

LOL, Look at all the snow. I think it was close to 65 here today..lol

[@tomnugent845]

Ben, we have quit using the higgenbotham risers in favor of a basket strainer or bar guard. It lets the water into the tile much faster. Keep up the good work.

[@tophand9571]

If you do tours KZbin it! Looking forward to seeing Grant getting some tile in his bottom ground should make great video… keep up the great videos!!!

[@iowANFarmer]

👍 project is finished and turned out 👍

[@shawnklemm1532]

Heck yeah I'd love to see a tour of a tile manufacturing plant! 😁😉

[@That38Guy]

How about a link to the channel you will be plowing with ..

[@garrytitford2595]

It's okay Ben, Brian Brown says escavator too, instead of excavator. Just bugging you, lots of words I say wrong too.

[@iowANFarmer]

Lol

[@c.l.vanhorne117]

NiCe WoRK! BeN..U Too MoLLY!

[@dustinwillis113]

You would love the 6 way blade for skid steer. Buddy has one and it'll do same as a small dozer. Really handle but $$$

[@michaelstark703]

I was getting worried folks! Thanks for posting a video. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving ……………..How about a old planter marker arm mounted correctly?

[@iowANFarmer]

Been super busy getting jobs done. A disc of some sort might work.

[@TheBoatman11]

👍👍👍

[@iowafarmhandanf2266]

It's harder than it looks isn't it Molly. Lol

[@justinwiatrek1864]

Six way blades don’t work well on skid steer. There are too many hinge points in the loader and the force doesn’t translate well to the skid steer frame. No replacement for a dozer blade mounted on a dozer other than maybe the Case Minotaur. Stick with a bucket on the skid steer and add teeth to the bucket if needed

[@iowANFarmer]

Thanks for the comment! I’d really like to have a D5 size machine at some point with a 6way

[@markblackwood3121]

I wondered if a alternative cheap row marker would be an old three point single moleborad plow would work. Seen them at actions for as little as $50 Old AC single row or Fordson type maybe be the trick

[@markblackwood3121]

Single Moldboard plow worked as path creator in early 1800’s from Davenport to Iowa City (basically became highway 6 then I80) 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️👍

[@iowANFarmer]

That might push more dirt than I want

[@Chestnut0923]

Need to talk to dirt perfect about the tile plow he built!

[@iowANFarmer]

It’s cool he built something, but I’d take the soil-max.

[@Chestnut0923]

@@iowANFarmer it was a great design! Love your videos man!

[@christianbest1979]

monday when is your next vidoe

[@iowANFarmer]

When I get a chance to edit.

[@jeffs9814]

what’s the blaze orange tool in your bibs?

[@kellyleadley3041]

Where’s Andrew

[@iowANFarmer]

Finishing Harvest

[@frankg5466]

You needed a 6" Y, then go to 5", it will run like a slow 5" tile now.

[@iowANFarmer]

That’s what I was saying in the video. It’s also 2 - 200’ runs of 5”- it will never run full.
