Awesome work you guys! We r in central Minnesota and also install tile. Hard to beat the fun of putting in tile and seeing results like that.

[@bradweber3238]

So your tractor making the lines with the one shank. Did you import the tile lines to the monitor. Or did you just set it to spacing(implement width)(30-40ft)

Also, the videos I see of tiling done in Europe (and there are a lot on KZbin) they always, without exception, use a gravel cart and the plow has an attachment for gravel to feed down directly on top of the tile. I have never seen gravel used on any of our country's (US) videos. So there seems to be a large difference of opinion as to the need for, or no need for, gravel. Would you think about 3-4" of gravel on top would be beneficial enough to justify the extra cost?

samuelgrahm154tenn I don't see the point of it... our tile are running water minutes after install. That would take ALOT of extra work

[@JeffsWonderland]

samuelgrahm154tenn didn't mean to delete your other comment was going yo reply.. We install 40,000 -70,000 ft of tile a day moving at 200+ft a minute no way to keep rock in the ditch that fast.. I also don't understand how rock would extend the life of the tile? Installed correctly dirt will never fill in the tile. We have dug up clay tile 100 years old still running alot of water. We have found plastic tile from the early 80s that looks like it was installed yesterday. So unless the soil they install in restricts the flow of water I'm not sure how much the rock would gain.

@@JeffsWonderland the main reasons I use stone backfill is to connect mole ploughing to the tile drain and to connect existing drains

[@MrObvious333]

There is a much better way to do tie-ins. As is being done here, the open trench that the excavator makes offers virtually no side support for the pipe due to the width of the trench and no groove to provide two point support for the pipe. If you've ever dug one up after a couple of years. you can se that the pipe is deflected 30-50% causing as significant loss of capacity.

[@mustlovedogs272]

Approximately what was the total cost to the land owner to have this done on this 160 acre parcel?

[@JeffsWonderland]

samuelgrahm154tenn usually 750-800 an acre .. so 125k

[@mustlovedogs272]

Does that include the cost of the pipe?

[@JeffsWonderland]

samuelgrahm154tenn yes that is finished job

[@pedrosky198]

How calculate the water can you collect ?

[@mage3690]

They have an excel spreadsheet with the tile sizes and acre-inches for each size. I actually have a business card with the spreadsheet printed on it.

[@justincase2830]

thanks!

[@justincase2830]

nice looking! Where is this location? I am guessing about 1k$/acre?

[@JeffsWonderland]

no more around 750-850

[@blacksheep9734]

Bet you could drink that water

[@alexgeise7877]

dang nice dirt

[@augustreil]

How are the fields doing now after 3yrs, thank you.

[@dlt205]

Quite a bit of drain water to deal with. So where does all that water go?

[@atomicwedgie8176]

downhill

[@mage3690]

Into the ditch, a county drainage main, or the nearest steam or river. Of course, it all winds up in the streams and rivers anyway, just sometimes it skips the intermediate steps.

[@rushd45]

How does this affect the aquifer that sits below it?

[@mage3690]

@@rushd45 it depends how much of that aquifer is being used by irrigation. Nobody has any idea what effects drain tile has on aquifers. If I had to guess, I'd say that the tile removes between 10-60% of the water that would go into the aquifer, depending on rainfall inches per hour. In that case, the subsurface aquifer should drop, but only by 1-3 inches. Not enough to seriously damage or impair whatever systems relies on it. If you also use the drain tile as an irrigation system, which you can do, the aquifer shouldn't go down any more than just putting tile in. Plus, you get the benefit of a more stable and efficient irrigation system, if you use it that way. There are some design choices to consider if you do want to use the tile as an irrigation system, but the two systems are very similar in principle.
