laying drainage tile with a vermeer trencher 10/6/2012. Ken Pleines Exv.309-392-2539 Tile drainage (in agriculture) is an agriculture practice that removes excess water from soil subsurface. Whereas irrigation is the practice of adding additional water when the soil is naturally too dry, drainage brings soil moisture levels down for optimal crop growth. While surface water can be drained via pumping and/or open ditches, tile drainage is often the best recourse for subsurface water. Too much subsurface water can be counterproductive to agriculture by preventing root development, and inhibiting the growth of crops. Too much water also can limit access to the land, particularly by farm machinery. In terms of access, most modern agriculture depends on the usage of large machinery—tractors and implements—to prepare the seedbed, plant the crop, carry out any cultivation and applications during the growing season, and ultimately, to harvest the crop. Operating most machinery in excessively wet conditions may result in soil degradation because of excessive soil compaction, and inhibit the operation of the machinery (i.e., "getting stuck"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tile_drainage

Fuck that shit. Case quadtrac. id rather get that shit done instead of being in a 40 for a week.......

What would the approx speed (in running feet) and power requirement (HP of engine) be to make a trench that is 6-10" wide and 2.5-3' deep? Where can one buy these attachments?
-
you need to work in Jan and Feb to try and keep up with the plows and still dont get as much done in a year
-
Lets see the Plows go in Jan and Feb In ILL. We can cut any frost allowing us to work all year round.
-
Plows are nice. but this allows you to go deeper (Up to 6'5). allows you to see other tile lines that could be missed if using a Plow, And can lay tile up to 15 in.

Is this the better practice when the soil doesn't allow a ripper/plow type attachment to be pulled by a tractor while tile is also installed?
