Grrrrrrr Big John is ready to play !
The view from the tractor cab when the plow is 68" in the ground going through a little hill. Big John's turbo was singing a sweet song through here !
We typically install the drain tile 36-42" deep depending on how far we space them and what the soil is like down below.
What it looks like in the beginning of the run. The tile slides down that black box on the back of the plow. Drain tile prevents erosion and runoff as it drains subsurface water so the soil above is not saturated. When the soil is not saturated and it rains the water can soak in and go to work. Think of pouring water on a dry sponge vs a wet one. The dry one will absorb while the already wet one will not absorb any more.
We tiled out some grass today that is usually too wet to get in other than in real dry years ..... Like this year. This tile will turn this into a productive field every year vs only on dry years. Super pumped for that !
