- Trenching In Field Drainage Tile near Elwood Indiana.
In this video I am out in the field with B Thompson Associates LLC as they are out in a field custom installing Field Drainage Tile with two different tractors and trenchers. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Amazing how far tiling has progressed with technology! Thanks for sharing Mike. Your channel is top shelf.
Nice video amazing technology sir
Very interesting video. I think these Deutz-Fahr tractors look especially great for doing such work.
Been there, done that about 40 years ago. We had an old tracked trecher and a Steiger Tiger with a plow on it. The Steiger weighed in around 80k.
Great vidio as always. You can tell that the backhoe operator wasn't his first day on the job. Digging the rock out right next to the trencher. Wow.
It is cool to see how drainage tiles get installed😁👍 nice video👍👍
I grew up in Van Wert county and in about 1960 my dad bought an OLD wheel ditching machine on tracks. He put clay tile in one 20 acre field per year for 3 years then he did the last 10 acres the last year he used it. I also helped one of my neighbors when he put in clay tile. All that before I was about 12 years old. When I was a teenager I helped a ditching contractor for a few weeks one summer. All that was with wheel ditching machines. I bought a Case trencher that would go 48" deep and had a backhoe on the other end when I was in my 40s. From my experience I think a wheel machine is much cheaper to maintain than a trencher type. I am surprised anyone would put tile in this way.
Mike, you always have a great variety of aspects in your videos and in the videos themselves. eg, drone, ground, and in cab shots. It is like you know what I want to see next. Nice job.
Happy subscriber 😊!
Back 150 years ago it's said that 500 Irish labors would dig this (by shovel).
That’s really neat, about an hour and a half south east of us.
Great video Mike
I like Mike less videos on CZcams from the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲
Am I going crazy or is Deutz actually making moves in the American market? Never thought I’d see them over there..: they’re such amazing reliable powerful tractors.
We have 7 Deutz tractors, the oldest one being a D25N as my grandpa worked as an ingenieur in Köln-Deutz in the 70’s and 80’s
I'm Italian, and deutz fahr is a brand bought by an Italian factory
Lot better than a plow don’t need a pull tractor if wet easier to hook up new runners,😎
Wakarusa Ag in north central Indiana is a great dealer for Deutz-Fahr if you want to learn more about them.
Very awesome video and I might add that I’m really liking the deutz fahr tractors more and more
made in germany baby
they save fuel a lot of it, ive been in the cab of theses tractors in the video and there pretty nice
@@fazeobama8872 but is italian propriety
Sdf brand
My friend Denny Kirian makes the DK trencher. He sell both three point and pull type models. He was the first as far as I know. We are in north central ohio
haha thats my boss blake, was wondering when they would be in a video
Hello! Deutz does it...
Trenchers are good for frozen crust, and less drag is good for muddy conditions.
Where's the windmills? Lol I live about twenty five miles from Elwood and when we see the windmills you know you're getting close
Show em seu serviço, sou Diego aqui do Brasil, e gosto muito de trabalhar tbm cm máquinas
Hey Mike you might check out Dirt Perfect. He is on the Ohio river in Indiana. He built a bad ass tile plow with auto grade. I have seen him pull that thing through rock it is crazy.
Howdy Farmhand
Looks like agleader water management system on it. Great system would prefer the plow to a trencher.
Looks like they have no shortage of rocks!!! We've got some "iceberg boulders" here in N.Central OH. A little tip shows through the surface, then a big buried mass. Thought it would be interesting to see the outlet flow after several inches of rain.
I can’t even imagine farming in these rocky fields. I’m from the Netherlands we farm on 280 hectares just a little under 700 acres and I haven’t seen a rock in my 20 years of farming. I’m dead serious too this looks like such a pain to deal with.
@@xSCHEF I have seen fields in New England that had hand made stone walls on all 4 sides and the ground still had more rock coverage than dirt.
@@donmedford2563 how can you farm that? Wouldn’t that bust op your equipments?
@@xSCHEF It is just used as pasture now. I think back in the 1600s or 1700s when they cut the trees down they probably hand planted and harvested everything. Where I used to farm in Ohio we have rocks like the ones in the video but we removed the ones that were a problem.
The backhoe operators are good. It seems like too small of dia. tile for laterals. Good video!!
I am curious why they do not even try to do a better job at refilling the trench behind the trenchers. It seems it would be very easy to put a V shaped thing on the back to move the dirt back into and on top of the trench.
They'll come back through with either a backfill auger or a dozer and close them up.
I know it depends on soil type but I wonder how long a chain lasts...I have a neighbor who has a new Deutz about 125 hp and it is a nice machine. Handles great and all the controls are handy and easy to operate. I drove it some last year and really enjoyed it.
We get about 400,000 feet per chain average.
Any idea what the name KMA stands for and where they're manufactured? Looks like a much better designed machine than the DK. Shorter and more compact due to the rails. Pull type from the start. Single driveline. Reversible I might add if I saw it right. The DK is heavy and hard on tractors due to having all that weight so far away from the 3 point due to his lift design. Don't get me wrong it works, but this is so much better.
They are made by KS Technologies & Custom Manufacturing in Attica Ohio
You should really try head down under here to Australia and do a video with some Deutz tractors
In the works
@@farmhandmike that’d be pretty cool
😎😎
the deutz fahr brand was bought by SAME which produces Same, lamborghini and Hurlimann tractors, but now they have staked everything on the German brand, making lamborghini disappear and probably also SAME in the future
Yah ! Good content ! why 80 foot lateral grids ? in Michigan we tile no less than every three rods ! ( 50 feet ) ps.. i have alot og the ground i own tile every rod and a half ! we btile tape 100 % of the conections and tile caps ! marv'
I really can't answer why every 80 feet. I know he said this is not on every job.
In central Indiana soil lateral spacing is usually between 50 and 100 feet. We do a lot of 60 and 80.
This part of Indiana is heavy clay soil, Michigan, maybe, has more sandy soil? Just a guess.
It all depends on the soil type. Where I'm at in Ohio 40 foot is common and 30 is becoming more common. 30 years ago 50 was common and now we're going and splitting those farms to 25.
What make is the red trailed trencher
how does a big rock like that end up 4 feet below the surface of an Indiana corn field?
I'm sure that rocks been down there for thousands of years slowly working its way to the top.
Glaciers covered this area about 10 or 15 thousands years ago.
Dk trencher have a look
I'm also farmer in India but I'm so so samal farmer
Very expensive agriculture equipment you have
your videos are way to long
My longer videos generally get more views than the shorter ones. In the past I have broke videos like these into part one, two and three and they just don't get the reach.
@@farmhandmike hank you for the reply
