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.
@ 3:02 the "My favorite Red Tactor" made me smile. (Alaskan coastal fisherman, metal boat builder, welder) was a cute skit of the " farmer tester's relation" to the machine.

"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."

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.
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.
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.
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.
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

I saw this video. I ordered a few cans of WD-40 contact cleaner. Didn't even know WD-40 made contact cleaner. We have been using a blue shower, which costs 3 times more per can. The WD-40 contract clear worked great! I will recommend it to our Global Supply Chain. I work for a global mining giant, here in Arizona. I grew up on a farm. Love the videos!!!

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.
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.

Drain tile draws down the ground water table so corn roots have to go deeper. This makes the corn plant hardier and able to have a better draw area for water and nutrients. Corn yields increase. In your soil type, a 70 to 80 foot tile run separation sounds about right. From a retired Drainage Engineer.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
I did this work for a season. Hardest physical work I've done. These guys make it look easier than I remember. We were all laser at the time. GPS is a huge leap forward for install and as-built. I had a shovel in my hand all day making connections and stringing tile ahead of the plow. Good times!
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.
I actually didn’t know there was a contact cleaner. I have a one ton pick up truck and a 4 horse trailer. At night the trailer lights blink sometimes when going over bumps and such. I’m going to get that ! You probably aren’t crazy about product endorsement but in this case, one of the VERY rare times I’ve watched a video like this, I’m actually going to get some ! Thanks !
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
@@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 👍

That was really neat seeing how drainage tiles are put in. I knew the general process and what they are. It would be neat to see the process of plotting out where the tiles need to go! Thank you!!!!
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 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!
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.
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.
All your green woman are watching you cozy up to that red one! You think the day with the air seeder was bad! Now they all have seen you! Holly Hanna! Good luck!
Interesting video! There is a bunch of plastic tile on the family land in SE Kandiyohi Cty put in in the late 90s to mid 2000s but I never got a close look at the equipment. I vaguely remember concrete tile going in in the 70s and early 80s. The fellow who did that work is now in his 90s. The oldest tile on the farm is red fired clay from the late 40s or early 50s and may have been hand dug! A section of that had to be repaired last year. Doing genealogy, I got the draft registration for one of my Dad's uncles from WW1 who listed his profession as a tile ditcher. That would have been in the McLeod Cty area. There is a "tile spade" shovel on the farm that would have been the sort used to hand dig the trenches for the clay or concrete tiles. I cannot imagine how much work that was. Heard stories about old "drunks" that would dig tile all summer for I am sure poor wages. Much of the family land would not be farmable w/o tile drainage. Historically it was marshy. Dad told of sloughs w/cattails and muskrats when they moved there in '39. I am sure nowadays, draining that would not be allowed.
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.

@@Matthunter0767 Only true silt soils are made up of small enough particles that are able to get through the slits in the pipe walls. So when draining these soils special fabric has to be fitted to the pipe to prevent this from happening - often referred to a sock.
Hi Zack n Becky... This really was interesting for me as I've always wanted to see how this is done and explained. Saved it in my likes on RUclips because I'll watch it again several times, so thanks. Also Randy and his men, that was some awesome plant machine digging, so careful to expose the buried pipe, not damaging it and the men didn't hang about doing the other things, like the jointing, impressive ! burying the cutter boot thingie so it's didn't freeze up, that was something unusual but a very good method. I thought Randy would have used a bit of WD on the track rollers whilst there was a bit in the can!!! You know WD 40 was the 40th formulation of the lubricant developed to protect the workings of the Atlas rocket developed for the US Navy back in the 1950s / 60s. Thats how we all came to have it. It's good stuff, and has a ton of uses, you're can even use it for stains on clothes before washing them. 😜 That was some innovative use of the Go Pro camera to be sure... I like your camera work Zack you manage some really unusual angles. Onyx is one cutilisious scrumypie kid. I expect you two will have tons of laughs as he grows, Envious... you have a lovely family 🤢 Mind how you go everyone. UgZyerAll. 💜
see i dont mind RUclipsrs doing adverts like this. it a good product and something they do use why not get pay to show it off. much better than 1 minute talking about some rubbish mobile game that I just skip by. plus I am buy a trailer next week and will now definitely be buying wd40 contact clearer 👍🏻👍🏻

Drain tile draws down the ground water table so corn roots have to go deeper. This makes the corn plant hardier and able to have a better draw area for water and nutrients. Corn yields increase. In your soil type, a 70 to 80 foot tile run separation sounds about right.

I make that poly drainage pipe for a living..it’s always interesting to see it being laid in the ground
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
Mrs.Millennial Farmer, he makes some smoooooth advertisement.😅
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.
Now that I have caught up on “Off the Husk” so many things make more sense. Also I prefer the unfiltered Zach and Randy.
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
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.
Always happy to see Randy TMP...
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
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.
I died laughing at you saying goodbye to the case😂😂😂
I did this work for a season. Hardest physical work I've done. These guys make it look easier than I remember. We were all laser at the time. GPS is a huge leap forward for install and as-built.
I had a shovel in my hand all day making connections and stringing tile ahead of the plow. Good times!
*Go Pro in the tile plow tracks*
"Weee, o we're coming to another turn, weee!"
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.
That inter drain machine has some “balls”
I actually didn’t know there was a contact cleaner. I have a one ton pick up truck and a 4 horse trailer. At night the trailer lights blink sometimes when going over bumps and such. I’m going to get that ! You probably aren’t crazy about product endorsement but in this case, one of the VERY rare times I’ve watched a video like this, I’m actually going to get some ! Thanks !
Seriously, who the hell dislikes this kind of videos?! It's so satisfying!!
Superbe travaux de drainage👌
Avec la technologie cela parait tellement simple quand c'est réalisé par ses professionnels
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 👍
That thing has some nuts!
The sound of theese tracks are so satisfying

That was really neat seeing how drainage tiles are put in. I knew the general process and what they are. It would be neat to see the process of plotting out where the tiles need to go! Thank you!!!!
That’s not a rock, that’s a boulder 🤣
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.
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
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!
I’m really going to miss the welker wagon.
But I told myself I wouldn’t cry
😭😭😭
The GoPro on the track! Easily one of the most awesome/ingenious places I have EVER seen a camera mounted!
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 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 wasn’t the pipe laying I thought I was gonna watch today
Love the set of "nuts" swinging on that tractor!!
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.
All your green woman are watching you cozy up to that red one! You think the day with the air seeder was bad! Now they all have seen you! Holly Hanna! Good luck!
15:41 just smile and wave, smile and wave onyx (sorry if I spelt his name wrong Zach)
The truck nuts hanging off the plow are a nice touch. 🤣
Oh my god I’ve dreamed of this day
Interesting video! There is a bunch of plastic tile on the family land in SE Kandiyohi Cty put in in the late 90s to mid 2000s but I never got a close look at the equipment. I vaguely remember concrete tile going in in the 70s and early 80s. The fellow who did that work is now in his 90s. The oldest tile on the farm is red fired clay from the late 40s or early 50s and may have been hand dug! A section of that had to be repaired last year.
Doing genealogy, I got the draft registration for one of my Dad's uncles from WW1 who listed his profession as a tile ditcher. That would have been in the McLeod Cty area. There is a "tile spade" shovel on the farm that would have been the sort used to hand dig the trenches for the clay or concrete tiles. I cannot imagine how much work that was. Heard stories about old "drunks" that would dig tile all summer for I am sure poor wages.
Much of the family land would not be farmable w/o tile drainage. Historically it was marshy. Dad told of sloughs w/cattails and muskrats when they moved there in '39. I am sure nowadays, draining that would not be allowed.
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 😂
That is just SO awesome System 👍👍👍 you all have a nice weekend
I was waiting or Randy to say "I thought he'd never leave"
🔥🔥Thx for bringing us along out to see the tile plow in the field 🔥🔥
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.

You sure make farming interesting, watch every episode...and this comes from an old city slicker. 👌
Out of curiosity why no sock on pipe?? Won’t the pipe eventually fill with dirt? 😀😀
It only fills with dirt when it enters the ditch
Dirt is heavy enough up here (I live in mn too) that it won't to into those slots
@@Matthunter0767
Only true silt soils are made up of small enough particles that are able to get through the slits in the pipe walls. So when draining these soils special fabric has to be fitted to the pipe to prevent this from happening - often referred to a sock.
South central PA shale ground would clog that up with clay. Interesting to see how it works great in other soils
Awesome, thank you for showing tile work and how important it is to farmers.
A can of WD-40 should be included with every Hi-Lift jack.
Man, that's the truth!
Hahahah
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!
Millennial Farmer: “ you are my favorite red tractor all season.”
CaseIH: “ Jimmy!!!!... get the phone we have a very important customer.”
Hi Zack n Becky... This really was interesting for me as I've always wanted to see how this is done and explained. Saved it in my likes on RUclips because I'll watch it again several times, so thanks. Also Randy and his men, that was some awesome plant machine digging, so careful to expose the buried pipe, not damaging it and the men didn't hang about doing the other things, like the jointing, impressive ! burying the cutter boot thingie so it's didn't freeze up, that was something unusual but a very good method. I thought Randy would have used a bit of WD on the track rollers whilst there was a bit in the can!!!
You know WD 40 was the 40th formulation of the lubricant developed to protect the workings of the Atlas rocket developed for the US Navy back in the 1950s / 60s. Thats how we all came to have it. It's good stuff, and has a ton of uses, you're can even use it for stains on clothes before washing them. 😜
That was some innovative use of the Go Pro camera to be sure... I like your camera work Zack you manage some really unusual angles.
Onyx is one cutilisious scrumypie kid.
I expect you two will have tons of laughs as he grows,
Envious... you have a lovely family 🤢
Mind how you go everyone. UgZyerAll. 💜
see i dont mind RUclipsrs doing adverts like this. it a good product and something they do use why not get pay to show it off. much better than 1 minute talking about some rubbish mobile game that I just skip by. plus I am buy a trailer next week and will now definitely be buying wd40 contact clearer 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Randy for letting us come along, even with Zach.
If the women don't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy, Duct Tape forever. Red Green would be proud of you Yankee. lol
