I bet that was an adventure for the young ones.... Shoot, it was kind of an adventure for me. Imagine the effort it was for Grandpa to install the original tile back in the day.
Nice to see kids playing like the old days. Especially the Grantman large and in charge. Tile with a good outlet can turn a farm around. Your neighbor knows his stuff Good you have him close by.
That was a great video, my grand father ran a farm and a owned a drainage company in clare county Mi back in the 50-60 & 70's, that really took me back in time! Thank you.
Always amazing that well-installed tile from years ago is still working. From our experience, interesting to see how wet areas become farmable again. We've put in random lines placed so a systematic pattern can be added in the future.
Thanks for another great video Kip. It was most interesting and informative. Great to see how they put these tile lines in now days. I remember helping on the farm when I was young and we put in those old clay tiles. The way they do it now is much better and more efficient. Was really enjoyable seeing them do this tiling. These tile lines will really pull the water off that ground. Tiling always pays you back for the investment you put into it. Glad to see you tiling this ground Kip. Good project to have done. Nice. That big tractor put that tile in the ground without hardly any effort. Wow. Must be at least five feet deep. Just kept going ahead without much effort. Wow. Thanks for sharing this process with us Kip. Has been most interesting!!!!!!’ You take care and be safe. Thanks for everything. Hang in there. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Those big 4wd Cat powered Challengers are good tractors. I believe i heard the guy say hes fot his turned up to 750hp. Thats alot of pulling power !!!!
Quite the process there Kip. Good to see you keeping the farm going. Far too often we see them go under because the kids don't want to put in the work. I remember Mr. Walton flying around all the time. Heck he even landed in the yard one day asked if me and Julie wanted to go for a ride lol
even if it doesn't totally drain, itwill serves to spread the water out. That deep water will help make the field more evenly watered. Even if there is no actual water drainage all the way to the big ditch, the evening out of moisture is a good thing.
Draining here in the uk, its usually with a massive track machine that digs the trench out, lays the pipe in, all laser guided, you watch for any smashed tile pieces in the dug out spoil, mark it, then dig out that spot, tie the new pipe into old clay pipes, then put a good layer of shingle, 20mm sized stone on the plastic pipe, go over with a tractor with a blade on pushing the dug out dirt back in, run on the trench to compact the top back down and job done. It seems a tidier job than your guy, but i guess its the end job that matters.
i love seeing the kids having fun/ playing and enjoying themselves, but pls don’t let them be walking around/ down ditches like that when it’s just been dug out like that. if it caves in, it’s usually not a good outcome. 🤷♂️ love your videos, and GOD BLESS. ❤
How much fall the main has is a much bigger component of the formulas used to calculate for how fast things will drain. Basically, there are charts they go by. This is an expert installer, not some guy winging it because he can overbill his experience or equipment.
Why waste time putting in 3” lines for the cost difference ? Especially if the old laterals are 4”, may as well put those lines in between at 4” as well.
@@davegray478 cross sectional area of 3 inch is 7 square inches while 4 inch is 12.5 square inches. 12.5-7=5.5 (5.5 / 7)*100 = 78% Circumference of 3 inch is 9.4 circumference of 4 inch is 12.5 inch 12.5-9.4= 3.1 (3.1/9.4)*100 = 32% What is the bigger factor for infiltration rate? Is it cross sectional area or the circumference?

👍👍
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO ĶIP ❤😊
The Challengers are beautiful tractors Its kind of a shame they no longer produce the 4wd wheel versions.
It's always great to see guys that know what they are doing kip

Good you have him close by.

👍👍
I drove by there this afternoon. I saw you had some tiling done. U hang in there
A job well done by a good neighbor and the older generation, very few younger kids that will work that hard and they also want a lot more money ✌🏻👍🇺🇸

Thanks for sharing, Kip! Truly amazing to watch!
In the U K we did this system in 1982 and still working, aparently it works with a suction efect to draw the water out the ground. Good job
Hi, kip siegleayou have nice cows
Love to see Michigan's farmer's improving their ground. Great job from a fellow michigander.
Love seeing your kids, being kids. Blessed
Pretty impressive equipment. Pretty amazing how quick it starts to work. Good video
Kids just love mud.
another great video!

Really enjoyed this video. You got a lot accomplished!!
You guys need to get a tile plow Kip! Hook it up to that 9400!

Good point 👍
Tile will help immensely
Thanks for sharing
That big ditch appears to need a reprofile job.
Great video
That will help that field a lot now. Better yields probably in the future.
LOL mission accomplished for the kids getting in the hole…. 👍👍👍😂😂😂
Big Iron that CAT powered Challenger is 💪🏻

After you get thru the top soil it looks like dense clay.
Could someone explain why they call it a "Tile"? I just can't wrap my brain around why underground pipe for drainage is called a Tile.
Way cool!!
In north central Iowa we say “tile and concrete, you pay for them whether you have them, or not.”
Have a question... How does the water get into the tubes to be drained .???! I think I missed something. ( don't laugh )🙏❤️🇺🇲
The black tile they are putting in has little slices in it to let the water weep in.
No harm in asking what you don’t understand.
i love seeing the kids having fun/ playing and enjoying themselves, but pls don’t let them be walking around/ down ditches like that when it’s just been dug out like that.

love your videos, and GOD BLESS. ❤
So what’s the process of returning the field to “Normal” after this point?
Is that semi-blocked 6” clay tile going to take the volume from all of those 3” dumping into it?

This seems like something you and your brothers could do. Already have the tractor and a backhoe for digging
Muck will have that 3” plugged in a couple decades.. 4” is well worth the money to your children!
3” over 4”
4” is 50% bigger surface area, for .05 more per foot well worth it!
Why waste time putting in 3” lines for the cost difference ? Especially if the old laterals are 4”, may as well put those lines in between at 4” as well.

What does the installation cost per foot?
muck in the first degree
Great video.
