Nice video again George. Done loads of drainage back in the 70s we use to have contractors with big tracked machine Bartletts from Sturminter Newton . Tiles and plastic pipe. All done with Government Grant in them days.👍😊🚜
Another great video thanks. Brings back memories of when they put drains in the farm I lived at when I was young. the contractors used a Barth land drainage machine and a fleet of fordson majors
Many moons ago I was employed on land drainage gang, all old 3, 4 and 6 inch clays, we had a Barth K140 drainer effectively a ford skid steer unit imported by Ernest Doe from Holland, lots pf old Ploughmasters and we also had a MH 101 on a clinkerite trailer, so called because the backfill was waste from coking power stations, 'clinker. We also had a MH 121 also with a clinker trailer, a County 1124 with a trenchless drainer a massive winch on the county pulled the trenchless sled across the field laying plastic pipe, leveling was acheived by a donkey engine running a hydraulic pump we also had a Northrop, happy days!
@@bobtaylor6508 back in the day we dug suff pipes in using my jcb 6c, then finished off with a our drainage hand scoop, to get a fall, we’d bring water back and at the end of the day, they would run.
tiling is very interesting and fun. all tile on our farm was hand shoveled in the 1920s with brick and concrete pipes. i've been going around in the ditches to try and locate and clear the outlets. Since if they're blocked they don't do much good. it was all mapped out on paper where all main lines, suctionlines, and outlets in the ditch. but some maps have been lost with thru the 100 years since they were made. and some aren't 100% accurate where the outlets in the ditch are. A little effort goes a long way in yield average. tata!
Very nice upload George, we first used plastic back in the mid to late 70’s, back then there was still a grant for that which helped, after about five years we had to have them flushed out as they were getting bunged up with what we called red oaker, crusty stuff from the peat, always a chain apart, you mentioned tile draining here in the states, well here in Wisconsin, stones are the big problem down there, they always have a digger on hand to help if needed be.
Great video, lovely sounding fastrac, use to love siting for hrs as kid in old zetor with rear mounted aft trencher chain drainage machine in 80s, we had set hydraulic drive cage wheels that pressed against rear tractor tyres as gearbox gears wasn’t low enough to creep along,
Good video George 👍 as you say I always enjoyed drainage work even when it was tile drains back in the day 🙄😁 look 5to seeing the results of your efforts 👍
Great video George, as you said it makes sense having the right tool for the right job, and in this day and age there are certainly some right tools about.
Nice job on the drainage! Here in the Netherlands they too use the "big moleplow" style drainage machines on tracks. I even believe the machine of randy the master pipelayer has Dutch roots. 😅 (we know how to get rid of water here 😅) Also we use drainage pipe with a cloth/membrame around it. Not sure why,but i think it's to prevent soil from going through the slits. But it's the only thing you see here.
Employed White Horse land drainage with a Dutch Interdrain trenchless machine on former sand & gravel restored land in the 1980's, with stone backfill.
Great video & explanation of the draining process, George. Remember draining with 3in clay tiles. In the early spring the job would be to clear the mouths of the leaders (usually 4in) at the ditch, rod them and then the laterals. You would find the tiles with "a spear" metal spike about 4ft long with handles at the top - hard work! Then you had to dig down to get the rods in. 😩😂
Hallo george Nice Film from laying drain in The field. In Germany give it many fields with drain its a good think. The drainlayer looks like a greater dt75 with 300 hp.
i can remember seeing the old Barth drainage machines in the late 70's. County based tracked drainers, fair old bits of kit laying the clay tile drains
Hello George that drainer is the same as Olly Harrison’s he changed it to a new one a few months ago and he had a company a few weeks ago demo the American version and that was brutal this has been an educational Thankyou keep up the good work and look forward to the next video 👍👍
Great video aft trenchers are from suffolk where i came from i was up until recently using a wheel trencher putting in football field drains same principle but we had a stone box on the trencher to keep the stone uniform level
Great video again, really interesting insight along with the mole drainage vid. Presumably the soil is gravelly because its near the river and other waterways?
George fabulous fabulous video absolutely fantastic 👌 top quality Saturday evening viewing with a nice Yorkshire cup of tea and 2 cherry Bakewell tarts 😂😂😂😂 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Back in the 70s, I moved a tracked trencher on my low loader. The operator said he could unload it, with out building a ramp off the swan neck. All well and good until it reached the balance point, the tracks only went down a few inches, but at the back end, and 8ft in the air, the driver was catapulted out of his seat. Luckily for him his jumper caught on the levers, and he was left hanging upside down, still tracking towards my unit. Panic stations for a while.
Excellent! Well done and very informative indeed! Good to see well designed machinery used for this specific job :) But I must ask two little questions... Why does the Kubota mini excavator have two different colored blinking lights on top? Why is one of them green instead of amber ? Just wondering :)
George we were laying plastic drainage pipes like that on playing fields 50 years ago it was called Lamplex and made by a company whose name I can’t remember in Stroud Glos.
Hey George, I know who would need this done on their farms wet & awhile ago flooded fields. Harry from Harry's Farm he is on youtube and his fields were really badly flooded and his fields are all different ground soil types so one field be fine the next one be semi-flooded still? i send him this video link and maybe it will help him with his problem fields?
Back in the fifties contractors used clay tiles and the trenches were bushed with hedge trimmings blackthorn or hawthorn. Never used gravel till they started using plastic, I think clay tiles last longer. We used to get our drinking water out of one that was at least 80 years old. Wouldn't want to drink it now with all the crap they spray the fields with.
You’ll have the driest fields in the country George! I’m still not sure about the plastic pipe, everyone I’ve dig up has been full yet half of the old clays aren’t 🤷♂🤷♂ we need our ditches dug out first before we put pipe in 😆🤦♂
Well that was a draining video 😂.. but they are very important.. you know how important they were when you subsoil a field with clay pipes and forget there not that deep 🤔🤫😁 cracking vid sir.. 👌 stay safe 🏴
Looked a good drainage machine. The ones we used 30 odd years ago where a wheel type. Same principle and did the same job. Quick way to put drainage pipe in George and will last years to come, good vid.. 👍
Interesting, i saw some farmers discuss this on harrys latest video and they suggest its not a good idea in the long run. Hopefully they're wrong. Everywhere seems saturated atm.
What was their reasoning for it being a bad idea? Enabling water to get away from areas of fields that lay wet and consequently don't allow crops to grow is surely a good thing?
@@GeorgeSaundersThey suggested it has negative side effects in drier periods and if it needs the drainage, the land shouldn't be worked. Which seemed defeatist. At least, that was my understanding of their discussion.
@@GeorgeSaunders someone said there’s Zero return on the investment of land drainage. Personally I think it makes managing the land easier, in the long term.
See puting hundred Mill pipe strong black plastic Don't crack hard frost standing outside in cold You got lots gravel vains Hold water were you are Wet patches needs mirror End of the belt not putting To much gravel on😂
What George, no steering system!!!!! How are you coping backfilling you must be really worried about being able to see your coolant temperature gauge 😂😂great video

Nice to see you putting in drains the proper way george using stones , no good unless the stones are there, A job well done, good vid as usual 👍
Evening George. Another great video showing another important part of how farmers look after their land. Also good to see some Ulster made kit at work

Great George to see how the trenching is done . Lovely bits of kit . The Fastrac is humming along . Great video George 👍 🚜 🔧
Great work George, Richard and Matt👌👍🙏🙂

Excellent video George, great job!
Nice video George ,we hadplastic pipe on our farm in late 80,s does the job.
another great video again as always
Wow that was very interesting George, a bit different to my days when we used LBC clay drain pipes, in the 60's etc. Well done to all. regards Ken
nice to see a land drain goiung in with all the kit . we do it a littlr differently in wales
You guys need to come to the Nederlands to see how we do it works better end faster 👌🏻
Very interesting. Thank you, George.
Cheers Steve 👍
Great video aft trenchers are from suffolk where i came from i was up until recently using a wheel trencher putting in football field drains same principle but we had a stone box on the trencher to keep the stone uniform level
I know the type you mean, how deep were you installing the pipe out of interest?
@@GeorgeSaunders18 inches there abouts
Thanks buddy for upload 😊Great watch as always😊nice peace of kit😊👍👍
Very good video my friend the machine work well😊
very satisfying.
The farm I use to work on we use to do land drainage we had like crawler to dig the trench and had a machine to back fill aswell
A week ago or so on Larson Farms from Minnesota they pulled down some pipes with one of the big plows and their 600 Quadtrac.
Great video again, really interesting insight along with the mole drainage vid. Presumably the soil is gravelly because its near the river and other waterways?

Interesting video George that's going to move the water 💧
Olly Harrison trialled one of the American style trenchers a few weeks ago pulling it with his 2 new Fendts
Great job George

Green light is to confirm that the operators lap belt is being used.

Land drainage a costly item to install but like a lot of things in farming it’s a long term investment
allways interesting when doing drainage

Great job George. Did you get the pipe from Cotterill Drainage? 😊
I'm not sure to be honest Andy👍
Well that was a draining video 😂.. but they are very important.. you know how important they were when you subsoil a field with clay pipes and forget there not that deep 🤔🤫😁 cracking vid sir.. 👌 stay safe 🏴
Cheers Ian 👍
When did you start laying, is this a new gig or have you been doing this for a while, George?
Is there a laser level on the trencher?
Yes there is a receiver on the trencher 👍
@@GeorgeSaunders Nice set up that the farmer can get involved as well, must have saved some money.
Satisfying if you get it right..
How much per metre do they charge for the machine per hour
Don't forget to map where you put the drains in for future reference
Less brute force than for Dirt Perfect with his tile plow hung on the tail of the JD 850 to lay 6 and 8 inch tile :-)
Boys land George!
👌
Don't you use a laser to lay your novaflow drain?
The trencher has a receiver on it

Looked a good drainage machine. The ones we used 30 odd years ago where a wheel type. Same principle and did the same job. Quick way to put drainage pipe in George and will last years to come, good vid.. 👍

Those plastic drain are ot new,they have been around for 50 years or more.
See puting hundred Mill pipe strong black plastic
Don't crack hard frost standing outside in cold
You got lots gravel vains
Hold water were you are
Wet patches needs mirror
End of the belt not putting
To much gravel on😂
Thought you would be quicker doing that with a shovel 😅
You could have given a demonstration!
What George, no steering system!!!!! How are you coping backfilling you must be really worried about being able to see your coolant temperature gauge 😂😂great video
Some strength to pull that trench
