Trenching In Field Drainage Tile near Elwood Indiana. In this video I am out in the field with B Thompson Associates LLC as they are out in a field custom installing Field Drainage Tile with two different tractors and trenchers.
Mike, you always have a great variety of aspects in your videos and in the videos themselves. eg, drone, ground, and in cab shots. It is like you know what I want to see next. Nice job. Happy subscriber 😊!
I grew up in Van Wert county and in about 1960 my dad bought an OLD wheel ditching machine on tracks. He put clay tile in one 20 acre field per year for 3 years then he did the last 10 acres the last year he used it. I also helped one of my neighbors when he put in clay tile. All that before I was about 12 years old. When I was a teenager I helped a ditching contractor for a few weeks one summer. All that was with wheel ditching machines. I bought a Case trencher that would go 48" deep and had a backhoe on the other end when I was in my 40s. From my experience I think a wheel machine is much cheaper to maintain than a trencher type. I am surprised anyone would put tile in this way.
Am I going crazy or is Deutz actually making moves in the American market? Never thought I’d see them over there..: they’re such amazing reliable powerful tractors. We have 7 Deutz tractors, the oldest one being a D25N as my grandpa worked as an ingenieur in Köln-Deutz in the 70’s and 80’s
My friend Denny Kirian makes the DK trencher. He sell both three point and pull type models. He was the first as far as I know. We are in north central ohio
Hey Mike you might check out Dirt Perfect. He is on the Ohio river in Indiana. He built a bad ass tile plow with auto grade. I have seen him pull that thing through rock it is crazy.
Looks like they have no shortage of rocks!!! We've got some "iceberg boulders" here in N.Central OH. A little tip shows through the surface, then a big buried mass. Thought it would be interesting to see the outlet flow after several inches of rain.
I can’t even imagine farming in these rocky fields. I’m from the Netherlands we farm on 280 hectares just a little under 700 acres and I haven’t seen a rock in my 20 years of farming. I’m dead serious too this looks like such a pain to deal with.
@@xSCHEF It is just used as pasture now. I think back in the 1600s or 1700s when they cut the trees down they probably hand planted and harvested everything. Where I used to farm in Ohio we have rocks like the ones in the video but we removed the ones that were a problem.
I know it depends on soil type but I wonder how long a chain lasts...I have a neighbor who has a new Deutz about 125 hp and it is a nice machine. Handles great and all the controls are handy and easy to operate. I drove it some last year and really enjoyed it.
I am curious why they do not even try to do a better job at refilling the trench behind the trenchers. It seems it would be very easy to put a V shaped thing on the back to move the dirt back into and on top of the trench.
Any idea what the name KMA stands for and where they're manufactured? Looks like a much better designed machine than the DK. Shorter and more compact due to the rails. Pull type from the start. Single driveline. Reversible I might add if I saw it right. The DK is heavy and hard on tractors due to having all that weight so far away from the 3 point due to his lift design. Don't get me wrong it works, but this is so much better.
the deutz fahr brand was bought by SAME which produces Same, lamborghini and Hurlimann tractors, but now they have staked everything on the German brand, making lamborghini disappear and probably also SAME in the future
Yah ! Good content ! why 80 foot lateral grids ? in Michigan we tile no less than every three rods ! ( 50 feet ) ps.. i have alot og the ground i own tile every rod and a half ! we btile tape 100 % of the conections and tile caps ! marv'
It all depends on the soil type. Where I'm at in Ohio 40 foot is common and 30 is becoming more common. 30 years ago 50 was common and now we're going and splitting those farms to 25.
My longer videos generally get more views than the shorter ones. In the past I have broke videos like these into part one, two and three and they just don't get the reach.
