This friendship makes the list of my favorite things to watch on RUclips
That's amazing... imagine our ancestors digging these trenches by hand and laying clay tiles! Those were real men!
Oh I could do it. I used to have a job as an engine hoist in the 90's.........
This was GREAT.
Did you notice that all the Chev trucks Randy had were the best generation? 1987-1998. The previous generation from 1973-1986 were hell on Earth. I know because I dove dozens of them.
I am all for classroom learning, however, nothing beats the learning on a farm. Lots of good life lessons. I was luck as a kid to live near dairies, and work on farms. While it didn't end up my career, it gave me respect and understanding of how tough it is to put food on the table.
"Are you able to talk about what you have going on here?..........he doesn't have to concentrate at all" Onyx...."until he hits a rock"! LOL! Well said young man.
Been missing Randy on the videos. I used to loved the “Check ins with Randy” jingle and segment where you featured him in some of the ends of your videos.
Me too 🥲
Wd40 use it to spray round you door rubbers of your car/ truck to stop them from freezing up.
Great video again well done Becky. .........oh and Jim.
Thanks to Zach for holding the camara.
Forget the gopro...thats the most unique place to see a set of nuts hanging.
Ummm.... not so sure thats the most interesting place a set has been on that tile plow lmao
WD-40 is one of man's best friends, along with duct tape and zip ties
And of course, beer
mordy g , don’t forget breakclean, and bacon
mordy g ......And sheep.
Have you ever tried Ballistol? Works much better than WD-40 to loosen and it also lubricates. I use WD-40 until I found Ballistol.
And a drill, drill bits, wrenches, sockets, extentions, ratchets of every variation, channel locks, vice grips, screw drivers, pry bars, pullers, hammers, electric tape, connectors, breaker bars, sawzall, circ saw, soldering iron and solder, grease, welders, grinders, band saw, power sanders of all variations, jacks, porta powers and every other tool.
And LazyBoy chairs
It was good to see Randy again. And I noticed he is still going to my favorite depth...
I like the truck nuts on the tile plow. It’s a nice touch
I like the bull balls tied on the depth gauge sting. Nice .
Have to agree, that tiling machine is cool to watch! Appreciate the soil science too. Dang cool machines and education opportunity in one video.👍
Always interesting to see Master Pipelayer's pipelayer. I used to use a smaller version to run phone/fiber lines. Hit my fair share of big rocks as well.
since i was 6 years old i saw this machines running in the fields .... my father do it and now i plant my vegetables on ... and i know that was a good thing for other generations ....(sorry for my anglish, i"m a farmer from east France )
Onex is a great kid. One in a million. You are so lucky to have a son like him. Treat him well.
I live in Manitoba Canada, and we have no snow on the ground. This is awesome, but we don't have a master pipe layer, so that is sad. LOL. Thank you all for educating a city kid and keeping it interesting.
It’s pretty cool they have all those mint chevys from the 90s, like a rock!💪
This video brings back good memories for me. When I was a young man I used to make connections behind these kind of plows all day. I took pride in my work. Nobody took and threw trash in the pilot holes. No twine, no plastic tile scraps. When it came to connections I didn't want to waste an inch of tile. So I tried to be fast. I would have the connection ready and locked before the machine began moving forward 99 percent of the time. I also was a spotter and tile locator for the guy digging pilot holes up against the main. So with short runs sometimes I really had to run back and forth a lot while carrying a shovel and a locating probe. It made me lean and strong. Later the boss bought a UTV for me so I didn't have to run so much. On a hot day I would drink 2 gallons of water and 1/2 gallon of lemonade. I remember the dirt getting in my leather boots and a new pair of socks would have holes in them by the end of the day.. I got noticed for my achievements and eventually got more responsibility. I started surveying and later operated a Bron 550 plow. That has been the only piece of equipment i ever ran where you have seats across from each other and you sit sideways in the cab because you have to look forward and backwards at the same time. I think our rolls of 4" tile would have 200 rod (3,300' ) of tile per roll.
Awesome Field trip for the boy and Awesome Dad for having a good boy that wants to learn
Great video Zach, I think your son & you were having a great time,& Randy what a nice fellow, would be a better world if you had more people like Randy, Video was open learning , Great stuf, regards Trevor.W.Bacelli Biloela Qld Australia.
Shameless plug or not, WD-40 has always been the “go to” stuff for Midwest rusted all to heck nuts, bolts and everything in between that my family uses
its my go to in Scotland as well
What an awesome video. Teaching us another aspect of modern farming techniques makes me truly appreciate even more the work that goes into corn and soy production as well as other crops. You are right about the value of a field trip for Onyx. Wish it was me there soaking it all up. Thnx again.
Awesome, thank you for showing tile work and how important it is to farmers.
The simmy shaky, but not more than twice. That's what she said. Seriously though your explanation on why tile is put into a field is spot on. People sometimes confuse the thought process of just draining a field dry of water. When it couldn't be farther from the truth. There is a fine balancing act between proper nutrient distribution and water needs for growing plants. Keep up the great work. It was good to see Onyx out and about.

The unstated value for soil fertility (profits) by using this "plow" type of drain-pipe installation, compared to trenching, is that the soil horizons are not mixed, or the black soil does not end up under the yellow subsoil. As a landscape scientist, who has taken a lot of soil science classes, I noticed this. When hand diggingsoil pits, or digging trenches using a back hoe, back filling inevitably means that a lot of top soil ends up at the bottom and the subsoil ends up at the surface creating a "slick spot." That backfilling the black on the bottom, and the yellow on top, is shown in this video where the crew had to use back hoes to connect the laterals to the main drain. This
"plow" installation, rather that entirely trenching, is important from a soil health standpoint.
Long time watcher of your channel, keep up the good work of connecting consumers to the realities of farming
Awesome, learned on more tiling and how it works. Love ALL the videos!! Thanks!! Good Humor!!
Thank you for this very high quality video. I actually learned a few things. I loved the track cam. It's amazing how electronics have transformed every-day farming as well as support services such as tiling.
The rock box is for putting the parts in that the rocks break off
Zach.....It is uncanny how much your son looks like your father...Seems like a good kid!!
My thoughts too...he's a smaller version of him. 💜

@@coralielinnerg2841 OK we got it, stop already!
I, too, found this video very interesting on how they lay tile in the field. Thank you for your continued explanations on farming operations for us city slickers.
What a good looking all around kid he is, kows when to speak up and all! And Zach way to go, great friends share whats in the fridge!
I make that poly drainage pipe for a living..it’s always interesting to see it being laid in the ground
"My grandfather used to say that once in your life you need a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, and a preacher. But every day, three times a day, you need a farmer."
Those rocks look just like the ones we had on our farm in Southern Manitoba. we had one that was about 10ft by 6ft and stuck out about 3ft above ground. Dynamite was the answer! Our farm was about 50 or 60 miles West of Emerson MB and 4.5 miles North of the 49th. I didn't realize that the glaciers extended that far to the East of us.
For a city guy from Canada, thank you to you and Randy for explaining and showing the tiling process
Zach....so interesting to see how "BIG AG" does it...Your challenges are so different than what we have over on our little first generation farm operation...thanks again for another great video buddy..you and the family stay safe Josh #stoneyridgefarmer
Well said Stoney Ridge Farmer.
If the go pro riding the track dosen't get you an oscar I don't know what will.
Its also a great way to demonstrate how a tracked vehicle works

That is some darn impressive tech there! Wow, what the right tools do for making a job look..... easier.... I think that’s the right word as it sure is not an easy job. Thanks for sharing the fun.
This is great stuff. I love the shot where the soil horizons are clearly visible.
That's a nice big shop Randy has a lot of space parking trucks and tractors and etc.
Does randy own the business?
@@niallfearon24 no, he works for two guys who own it, they also farm a few thousand acres
@@niallfearon24 As far as I know he is part owner
@@markmcculfor6113 he does also now farm some acres of his own along with one of the owner's sons.
@@MillennialFarmer You've shown all of his equipment before. I remember the sacrasm in that video to this day 🤣
The actor who plays Jim always seems so cheerful 😀
Great video,fab footage,loved too see how tiling works.Great too see onyx out n about.Great job.👏👏👏🇨🇮🇨🇮
The field behind my house was done a few years ago and they had a converted army tank that had a camera mounted in the hole while it was trenching. Rode with them for 1/2 a day and gave them a hand in the holes. Pretty cool. Big boy tonka trucks.
He is so lucky that he has snow here in Namibia all we have is heat
I dont know the feeling of snow
I live in South Africa and the heat is crazy
If it snows here it will be cool because it is so dry and all the field fire we are battling it very big
The cold and shorter days are very hard to deal with. It's hard for many people and it can affect your mental health quite a lot when it is below freezing for 5 months straight with the sun setting at 4 pm
From SA
Now that I have caught up on “Off the Husk” so many things make more sense. Also I prefer the unfiltered Zach and Randy.
I’ve seen so many drain tiles put down in my time hauling grain, it’s nice to see how it’s done up close and what all goes into the tile drainage.
You sure make farming interesting, watch every episode...and this comes from an old city slicker. 👌
More off the husk please I am going through withdrawals and it makes me feel like I'm not drinking alone
Another very nice one Zach! Tile plowing, to enhance drainage of this parcel! Nice to see these advanced heavy duty and tracked machines steered via satellite receiver. It is nice to see how coherent they work and for example how the pipes got connected.
Also nice to see how your land and soil looks like if you dig deeper. looks quite good isn't it. Great and thanks to you all 👍👌
I'm so glad there making equipment so much more youtube friendly now. There really going that extra mile for the customer's
Jim’s a bloody legend.....so much so....they should name a national American 🇺🇸 day after him.....like Jim’s day and give him the keys 🔑 the state:-)
MN already gave them to the bother humper in congress.
And as humble as a guy Jim seems to be, he'd say "Oh, you don't have to do that" haha
That’s not a rock, that’s a boulder 🤣
it just blows my mind how much technology is in farming and tile plowing (the whole rock throw off and then follow that line was impressive.) Thank you for sharing so someone not so familiar with farming can get a scope for what goes into it.
Thanks Zac!
Your ears must have been tickling. I was just recently hoping and looking for another video with MPL Randy!
You fulfilled, and satisfied!
Enjoy your less busy time!
Now I know what "drainage tiles" actually are. Cool.
Love to see the real purpose of this channel rubbing off!
It's a strange name right?I learned of them a couple of years back but took almost that long to find out *why* they got that name!
Eventually i found pictures .The original method consisted of flat tiles with U shaped tiles placed upside down on top,forming a hollow shape
That inter drain machine has some “balls”
Zach, I just wanted to say that this was one of the all-time coolest videos you've ever posted. Seeing what Randy does and how his team does it was awesome! This might be a great idea for a new mini-series with other people who perform jobs that tie directly into farming and keeping the farmer and his fields working at top efficiency. Thank you for giving us a window into a hugely undervalued business and making those important connections to farming and agriculture as you always do.
Man that machine sounds awesome with the steel tracks slapping around. Love the track veiw ride too and the whine of those drive motor and planetary!!! Great camera work there bud.
I’m really going to miss the welker wagon.
But I told myself I wouldn’t cry
😭😭😭
Anyone notice the balls on near the plough
Depth gauge!
Deez Nuts... GOTEM!!!
That lets you know when your balls deep!
there was a podcast that explained those, called balls deep. It got deleted with no explanation
Lol in his IG story Zach went up and poked them 😂
Cool video. Thanks for sharing that level of detail. Always see these in fields but never knew what they did. Appreciate it!
looks fun when operating that pipe layer . you guys look like fun to hang out with and do work .
I died laughing at you saying goodbye to the case😂😂😂
Fun WD-40 Fact: WD-40 was originally used to protect the stainless steel atlas rocket in the 1950s, and was quickly grown into the brand it is today.
Fun fact: WD-40 is mostly mineral spirits. >50%. Mineral oils >25%. The rest is driers, fragrance and propellants. It is technically a Stoddard solvent. The old guys here will remember that as Varsol.
I was told that it was developed to dry out the distributors on military jeeps. I learn something everyday.
De-rocking fields is one of the jobs I did as a kid growing up in rural Indiana. There would be 50 kids with buckets lined up in a row about 5 feet apart and a tractor with a front loader following behind. We would walk the fields and pick up rocks. Once your bucket got full you would haul ass to empty it into the loader and then back to your spot. Any thing too big we would call out and the loader would come up and dig it out, then the whole line would continue. Man, I must have walked 20 mile a day if felt like. And I got exactly $1 an hour. Sunup to sundown. Some long summer days. But when you got that handful of cash at the end of the week, you forgot about all that misery and toil.
Neat video. Even just sitting here watching, it was cool to see them tile pipes being installed by this massive machine
A can of WD-40 should be included with every Hi-Lift jack.
Man, that's the truth!
Hahahah
*Go Pro in the tile plow tracks*
"Weee, o we're coming to another turn, weee!"
Really cool to watch. If I was there, I would stick around and watch all day.
Randy has a hell of a operation going on there. That tile plow is impressive, to say the least. It's moving a lot of soil
Mornin {holds up coffee mug in a toast}
I just realized I need to find a quality WD-40 coffee mug. Don't know why I just thought of that...
Follow up:
After using some Google-Foo in an effort find a decent looking WD-40 coffee mug or tumbler, it became apparent that the WD-40 company may be missing out on a potential profit stream by not offering any official WD-40 merch like fashionably branded and high quality coffee mugs, t-shirts, and hoodies.
I found some independent Pinterest and Esty references for mugs/tumblers, but nothing I trust from a consumer standpoint.
In some situations there were none currently available or the price was a bit too steep for my wallet to climb. $16 for what is an unofficially branded $1 ceramic coffee mug is hard to drink from.
Note: I did find a few t-shirts offered by independent shirt retailers with the WD-40 logo on them. Not sure of the quality though.
So... Zach... If you get a chance... Maybe talk with your WD-40 rep and bring this up.
Maybe the MF store could be a distributor of excellent, official merch for the excellent and reputable WD-40 brand. Just a thought/suggestion.
;-)
In the meantime, I will keep looking for a good looking WD-40 mug that is sold through a reputable resource.

That's probably the most unique place *anybody* has put a GoPro.
I was going to say that.
That was the Master pipe layer's idea!
Someone has put one inside of a engine Before
I know of someone who put one thru a combine, it didn't fair as well. (it was the welkers)
Is it strange that i wanted to duck as the camera passed protrusions?haha
Every time you do a video with the pipe layer I learn something about how drain tile actually works. Love these. Even a non farmer like me has got to think this is cool.
That was a very informative video. When they tiled my Grandpas farm the did it with t backhoe and levels, way before gps was deployed.
This was the first job I had in agriculture back in the 70s we laid clay tile about a foot long then covered with stone and I had the job of back filling with an angle blade on a 4 wheel drive tractor G Miles and Sons back home in England they had 6 cat D 7s they got from the US Air Force when they put them in gear and ran them into the North Sea Miles was there to pull them out stripped them down and cleaned them up and when I worked for him in 77 they were still running the Air Force didn’t want the expense of shipping them home they buried thousands of dollars worth of trucks Jeep’s tools you name it they buried it wow how far things have come through the years
yea the USAF buried a tonof stuff at Burtonwood Air Field near where I live....what a waste. Why not just give it to Britain or the people to use.
@@Rubedo777 ya I know man we used to play as kids on them old fuel tanks always found bullets they sweep from the B17 s for years people have looked for that stuff and they still have not found it 👍

Hi that was a fantastic video ,i thoroughly enjoyed every second of it ,as a retired 360 operator here in Scotland ,that was a fantastic machine for laying tile ,love from Bonnie Scotland
Fascinating technology, thanks for sharing this. Those big rocks would make an interesting lawn decoration if you can move them.
This wasn’t the pipe laying I thought I was gonna watch today
15:41 just smile and wave, smile and wave onyx (sorry if I spelt his name wrong Zach)
That was really interesting. I have driven through sugar beet country by Wahpeton and seen reel after reel of that drainage tile and wondered what it was for. Now I have been educated. Thanks Zach .
Hope Onyx gets plenty of ice time this season.
Never a dull moment when the two of you are together. In our essentials toolbox we have a roll of duct tape and a can of WD-40. Although PB blaster is nearby
It doesn’t matter what’s on the outside all that matters is on the outside (case)
Millennial Farmer: “ you are my favorite red tractor all season.”
CaseIH: “ Jimmy!!!!... get the phone we have a very important customer.”
Man, that Randy is a SPECIALIST! Fascinating to watch! He said "well oiled machine" and I agree. We don't see much of that action down south here. Very well done, Zach!
A great lesson in pipe laying, we need Randy over here in the UK, the field around here are swimming again, even after a dry summer at least the duck are happy.
Oh my god I’ve dreamed of this day
Seriously, who the hell dislikes this kind of videos?! It's so satisfying!!
Great Video with Randy in it. I always enjoy your videos but really like the Tiling videos.
Farming has never been an interest of mine until I came across your videos, keep the great content coming!
I am guessing that onyx has recovered
It's been a couple of weeks. Hard to tell when the video's were shot though.
@@coralielinnerg2841 this is not the right comment
@@TheOneSaskatchewanFarmBoy ...Make sure you report it. There is no room for that nonsense on here.
Woah theres a bunch of early folks here! Hi zach!
Im watching the video before school im writing it for about 2 more weeks im writing math thanks this video gets me motivated for the day and gets me through the day thanks Zach.
My gosh, that is some beautiful soil! MPL Randy & his crew make it look easy. He has some of the best equipment, and it looks like he and the crew have a boatload of experience to make it operate at peak efficiency. I understand how you never get tired of watching that. I don’t know why, but I feel that I need to obtain some WD-40 specialist contact cleaner and clean some electrical contact myself now. 🤔
I was waiting or Randy to say "I thought he'd never leave"

That is just SO awesome System 👍👍👍 you all have a nice weekend
You have the Millennial touch Zach ! A guy from our town built all his tile line machines as he had 3 to keep his family busy as he had 13 plus kids. He was a very smart guy. He built his shop 50 yards from the house, but there was a tunnel from the house to the shop and he used ground heat to keep the shop warm in the winter.
For French drains around buildings and such they always have filter fabric around the pipe to keep silt from clogging everything. Why isn’t it needed in this application?
it's a cost-to-benefit ratio deal .... while the lines could benefit from it, the additional cost per foot just won't pay out in increased crop yields.
We emptied a drain line that was 4 years old in a golf course...there were so many capillary roots you could fill a dump truck....and we did. It sucks.
@@tf7274 same here,roots render pipe useless without even entering inside of pipe.Will never use it again
I was wondering the same thing because drain tile around where I live is socked with filter fabric
@@topangachronic9463 I've put a few French drains in and if there was trees nearby we put root killer in the ditch. I've seen pine tree roots run up 100 foot septic lines through the D-box into the tank.
