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.

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

LOL. " I feel like I'm working for the state now." "That's why I'm holding onto this shovel."

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!!

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Amazing how quickly that field drained. Nice job!

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.
