If this video doesn't prove tile is a good investment not sure what will. Sneak peek of new dozer 

Thanks for hanging in there this season, put in 15,000 feet of tile this spring. In our area it works really well and brings acres into production that I'm paying rent on. The dry dams get water under ground in plastic which helps on soil erosion and now can farm these grass waterways we are also paying rent on. FYI: In USA rice is actually planted in dry dirt like corn then flooded for weed control, this field is to wet to even plant rice!!

That's what makes the difference on this channel...... Mike takes the time to explain to us non dirt movers ,how, what, why he's doing what he's doing

Middle ‘70’s we were putting in 100 acres of dry wheat in virgin ground. High school FFA. We had a D2 cat with tow behind single tooth ripper. Called AT&T for location services. Guy came out to locate cable with 30 year old site map but no magic wand. He flagged the “location “. We did an additional 30’ offset. Dozer bogged down to expose a load of colored spaghetti. Blew out a 1500 pair trans-continental cable. 10’ on the diagonal. AT&T guy had to find a new job. 48 hour shutdown and they brought in a whole “city “ to fix it.

Here in southern Ontario our municipalities maintain our drainage ditch’s and almost every field is systematically tiled at 25 to 30 centres. This allow the farmers to plant earlier and have set in better condition giving significant yield increases and lower machinery repair costs. Normally the exposed end of our drains are a rigid pipe with gate to prevent wildlife from entering and plugging the tile

And just like that...D.P. turned Farmer Chris's "fish farm" back into a field... Amazing!!

LOL. " I feel like I'm working for the state now." "That's why I'm holding onto this shovel." I have a friend that worked for VDOT here in Virginia. A worked called his supervisor on the radio and said he had broken his shovel handle and ask what to do. The supervisor told him "Just lean on another worker until we get you another shovel." The district manager sent the supervisor home for one day. Great job.

Tile is a farmers best friend. I've got field that was unfarmable because of it being so wet all the time tiled it now it's one of best fields. It has very 91% fertility rate an 89 scr's% scores all because of tile

Here in Western new York most farmers installed tile.Its impressive how much it improves not just that field but the entire area around it.

Drainage tiles work. I put one in a field 3 weeks before mother's day. It finally stopped trickling 2 weeks ago and the surface of the field is dry as a bone and usable space. Job well done, y'all be safe.

That field was good for two things. Planting rice and getting stuck. It's crazy the amount of water coming through the tile even before it's back filled. It's incredible how that tile works. I love the new dozer, and can't wait to see Jerry give it a good workout. Have a blessed and safe week.

I'm impressed with the pipe.i would have never thought you'd get that much water.this might come in handy, thanks

Well, that is impressive. I'd never have thought that those little pipes would drain that mess that fast.

To protect against pipe crush damage from a flat surfaced ditch, i have made cutting edge attachments that mount over the teeth on the bucket with a upside down tombstone shape with the round radius matching the size tile you are installing, this insures that the tile sits in a round bottom and gives a much higher crush strength.

Amazing how quickly that field drained. Nice job!

Great looking project. I’m sure Farmer Chris is happy.

here in Northern Ireland around where in live it would be a waste time putting those drains so far apart, the field would have to be covered in pipes about twenty feet apart and surrounded with clean stones the ground is made up with peat in the wet areas, which is large areas

I don't know for sure that the field didn't hear that Jerry was coming and decided to dry out from fear. Good job with that tile.

27:34 for those that want to skip to the before/after difference. Nice work!

I gotta quit sniffing glue. I was seeing double around the 6:00 mark. Two farmer Chris'!!

Im supposing the tile has holes in it. I couldn't see very well. I love the teamwork on the big dam. Always good to see 2 operators work together. LD18 says slick it up. A must!

that makes total sence about the ground water and it turned out great. thanks for bringing us along. cheers mate.

I’ve helped put in thousands of feet of tile and dry dams grass water ways and I agree they all help the farmer and the environment everything really thanks for sharing buddy

When my kids started in the local Little League, (closer to you now than me), the field was taken over for a year so they could lay drainage tile much like you just did. That field after they finished putting it back together, drained very quickly... O, you go out to put up/take down the flag you better take a boat.. but inside the fence... dry as can be.. you could actually watch the puddles on the infield go down. We hosted a tournament 3 years later and I commented that it will be dry by noon (game was scheduled for 9am but mother nature rained on that)... while talking with the coaches who thought we were nuts... even they noticed that you could actually watch it go down...the game was played on a dry field at noon... I've seen what tile can do and it can be amazing...

I cant believe how much untiled ground there. Up here in Putnam county my dad had the old buckeye putting in clay tile in starting in the early 70s. One system has 3 farms all tied into a string under 2 roads to the creek. Back then the state penal farm at Putnamville had a tile plant.

Well done on explaining the difference of tile with and without stone. Can't wait to see videos on the 850.

The D4 is a versatile machine, people would be surprised how much you can do with a dozer that size. Best of luck with your additions to the fleet

What the hell?!?! I never would have believed it myself. Oh and of course Jerry is amazing. Thank you Michael for an informative, educational, fantastic video! Farmer Chris is lucky to have you as a friend and contractor.

Im so happy Jerry is talking more!

It's crazy to me the difference in farming, in the west we would be elated to have water just comming out of the ground. Problem around here is hoping you have enough irrigation to water everything all year

Dirt perfect the miracle worker. Yes I could see how in clay ground the puller would smoosh the ground sealing it off. Would like to see this field in a couple weeks showing instant improvement.

Watching this I can see why you put all the effort into building the tile plough

I have been dealing with that wett sob all my life. Thanks farmer chis for taking this field on and thanks dirt perfect for a hell of a job. Believe it or not we used to cut hay off that field 60 years ago.

Good job. Farmer Chris can get back to making money. Have a great day.

Great job by all Thanks for sharing Mike 👍 👏

Talk about art with a shovel & machines. My hat is off to you !!!

I watch a lot of different videos,but I enjoy your videos most.

Makes a big difference. Looks good.

Finally! THANK YOU! I have watched a whole bunch of farming videos and a lot of them talk about tiling. Lots of tiling. What the hell is tiling? I've had my bathroom tiled but never used any big machinery! So what's going on with all this big equipment and not a slab of tile? You have now explained what it is, why you need it, AND HOW IT WORKS WITH GETTING THE WATER OFF THE FIELD. I never would have figured it out. Thank you.

Wow what a transformation great job

Thanks for the great video Mike!

good results to be proud of Chris is fortunate to have your talent working his fields

I have hunted and hunted and hunted for this video, and finally found what I do believe is the outlet we saw on the river. Have a great day. DP

in the words of Dirt Perfect, the commercials run non-stop, absolutely non-stop! Banner ads, commercials, pre-commercials - NON-STOP!!!, absolutely non-stop!!!

Looks like a Great place for a new pond

"It's Incredible"! - WHY - because something you did worked (beyond expectations?) HINT: That's why you've been digging and planting all the tiles. SO, bottom line, FUNCTIONAL & LOOKS GOOD! Thanks much for the great explanation of below ground water workings! Win - Win for everybody! Sonny

Around Northern Illinois we run fiber cable in colored flex conduit. It makes it easier to locate and offers some protection.

When they put fiberoptic lines in my (existing) neighborhood, they installed a green pipe that was on a spool then put the cable through it.

Nice job mike I could see fine through your window and I think your d4g is a perfect little dozer 👍👍 thanks for the video buddy

Would love to see some follow up on some jobs, 6 month a year later on how the field is doing or the finished ponds.

I haven’t got more than a moment in and heard the word culverts, so must throw in a compulsory Post10 reference

Drain tiles are essential in wet areas and are well worth the investment!

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if this field was regularly plowed for years that farmer may have created this drainage problem, generally when plowing a field they will cast the material towards the outside of the field, shifting all the topsoil by 16-18" every year, this can result in a flat field taking on a bowl shape that will no longer drain properly.

Great way to show how field tile works.

Checking out some earlier videos bro and this caught my eye and enjoyed it too. Safe travels

That is why when We put cable in the ground the spool center is horizontal and parallel to the ground

Need to definitely do a after video on this so people can see how much it works.. we had a file like this and tried a tile plow and sunk the machine costed $6k all together to get it out it sunk 5ft deep in the muck and because we couldn’t get it out for 5 days it locked the machine in. I personally think he would have had big problems with a plow. I learnt my lesson on a plow and wet wet fields with setting water. Good job and great video showing how putting tile in will actually make land profitable and raise its value. Big thumbs up

Thanks Mike for another great video, God Bless and stay safe!❤️🙏🇺🇸

I love the music you choose. Great field work well done. I knew it would work, because we owned 40 acres of pasture that salty ground water was welling up. There was also a large deep drain ditch that we ceramic tiled to gain several acres of farm land. Glad to see Farmer Chris fields ready to make a profit & recovering expenses.

One of my college lecturers always said, "Use the tool most appropriate for the job!" :-)

amazing how much water you all have - amazing how much flows out of those tiles. if farmer chris is planting tonite - does he come in with a disc harrow and clear the grass etc first? question answered.

Good solution. See you on the next job!

I love work! i can watch someone else do it all day long !

Jerry is an artist. He paints with a dozer blade instead of a paint brush. Thank you for some great entertainment.

Like see field when he start planting. That would highlight y'all work

Awesome throwback video! Good to see Jerry!

Farmer Chris and Luke on the “Mexican backhoe” today!

Farmer Chris is lucky to have essentially private tile and he's not in competition to move water with other farms in a drainage district. Tile is great. You just don't want to be the guy down hill and down stream from your neighbors during heavy rain events.Great job!

1 or the last few jobs that i had with my Takeuchi was to install about 2 miles of field tile in a hay field for a local farm. It originally had clay tile pipe as field tile.4 foot long sections that had holes in 3 sides. I came across the clay tiles while digging. Farmer told me that his father put those in when he was a kid. dug the ditches by hand. all of those were packed with sediment.

You learn something new everyday.. good job

Farmers in Arkansas would love this ground for Rice Fields

Put a shutoff on the end of the pipes so you can drain the water to plant and close it back off to keep some of the water in the ground and kinda regulate the groundwater

That is a alsome job well done

Great job @dirtperfect you saved the farmer’s livelihood!

Good morning DP and the whole crew. Thanks for another interesting and early video. Caption sounds great. Let's have some fun. Jamaica in the house 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🙏

another great job Dirt Perfect im amazed how well it worked well done

I watch you men taking pride in all the good work you do for your families and the families of America. Makes my heart full of joy. Then I see an ad to the right of certain politicians that are being paid vast sums of hard-earned taxpayer dollars to work for the Ameican family and all I feel is dread. I know who my heroes are and they ain't in Washington D.C. God Bless you guys and join team Jesus cause I know He is proud of you also!

Thanks for the video, looks like a Frankenstein machine build to me, should be interesting for sure.

Enjoy your Sunday! Thanks for the video! New dozer looks great!

As always. lol.. Nice work guy's!!.. How was the Sprint car show??

Thank god your done with drainage!! My skin is awfully dry now😂 We need to talk about tack time on putting out a video, 53 days, holy cow, let’s tighten it up Mike, if you can tighten up the coupler with MBTS, then MBTS can help tighten up video production time 😂 Great job Mike, you can see how happy Farmer Chris is with DP on the job. He can always depend on you to get it done👍🇺🇸

Bye Bye farmer Chris. Thanks for the fun we all had 😊😊😊🕊️🕊️

Great video Mike. That pipe is so amazing.

The D4 is one of the best all around dozers ever made

Glad you’re moving on from all this Farmer Chris work. I’ll never complain like some people about watching you install thousands of feet of pipe is repetitive and boring but for some reason it leaves me feeling drained. 😉 #dadjoke a bad one at that.

The word "SHIT" is an acronym for: 'S'hip 'H'igh 'I'n 'T'ransport. This acronym came out of old England back when goods were transported by sailing ships. Manure was a commodity transported by sailing ships and they soon learned that wet manure made a stinking mess...so they placarded SHIT=Ship High In Transport.

Amazing how great the drainage pips work!

Talk about traveling back in time. Now you do it the easy way.

Made me a believer and also a possibility of something new my company can do Thanks Mike👍

Good field to plant rice in!!

We grow grapes in Canada. We have a 4” tile every 9 feet. Grapes dont like wet feet!

Your shop skills have improved considerably!!!!

Rain stopped play again...... impressive how the field dried out !!! Like the new upgrades and paint job on the 850 too !!! 🤣😎 Did you fit air con too ??? 🤔😉

The acronym "SHIT" originated in old, old England back when "goods" were transported by sailing ships...before the invention of the engine. "Manure" was a commodity transported by sailing ships and if the manure was allowed to get wet...it made a stinking mess so they hung the bags of manure from the ceilings and walls to keep the manure dry. Here is what the acronym SHIT stands for: 'S'hip 'H'igh 'I'n 'T'ransport!!!

OK Mikey that does it.... You are officially a Mud Whisperer! I think you should take that show on the road. I have a neighbor who has a pond that won't hold water, 4 acres above it that never dry out and a spring just below it that never stops seeping to the surface (coincidence?) I told him we ought to move the pond to the ditch below the spring using the clay pond dam. Then put tile through the swampy mess into the pond. He told me it would be too expensive to do that. This spring a cow tried to walk through the swamp to get, to the brush on the other side, so she could have her calf. She never made it and he lost the cow and calf. As a result, he fenced off 10 acres of his 20 acre pasture. Then, he had to rent another pasture to graze his cows this year. He is looking for a Mud Whisperer even as we speak! Nice job dealing with the swamp!

`i installed drain tile, and within a few years it was half full, i found out later you need to have cloth to keep the dirt out, they make it with the cloth on it now.

Years ago, farmers drained wetlands. Now, conservation whether bought or worked with farmers restoring wetlands for wildlife purpose esp. birds. Curious if that piece land considered wetland?? Liked that tile feeding water to creek for fishes or replenish water elsewhere.

I’m surprised that it’s the middle of June and Farmer Chris is still able to plant a crop. Just shows the difference in growing seasons compared to here in Central Ontario.

I am surprised how well they drain backfiled with just native soil. I would have thought you would need a drainrock bed around the tile.

I love that new 850 dozer 😎. I bet Jerry loves it too ......

Tell Chris he should just plant rice and be done with it. The 850 looks like a mean machine now. Awesome.
