- Video from a farm in Southeast Darke County Ohio laying field drainage tile in two different field. In this video I got through the process of field drainage as they install a main drainage tile then lay the smaller drain lines across the field.

I was 13 years old during my Christmas Vacation in 1972 and spent 6 days working with one of those tile trenching machines. It pulled a wagon with a pallet of clay tile 4x12 in. There was a rack in the boot behind the digging wheel were you placed the drain tile bottom up were there were 4 rows with 4 holes in each row on the bottom half of the tile. Being in the thumb of Michigan we had to clean the machine every night so the dirt and mud would not freeze to the trench. We did the same thing as the guy with the shovel but on both sides. This was to put enough cover so tile clay tile would not freeze because we were not back filling to spring. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING. Versatiles are some of my favorite tractors and I really like there new colors.
The farmers in this video are top notch! I live a couple miles away from them. My family also farms in the area and have had them ditch a few of our fields as well. I would love to apprentice with them and learn. Great video thanks Mike.
Mike , Speicher made the 600 with in line 6 cylinders, 6060 trencher with 318 Chrysler gas motor. Then came 6160 ( in this video) they put 471 Detroit motor and Browns hydrostatic drive for the traction. Then came 7160 with heavier frame the finally 7160 with the digging drive housing went up and down on the up rights rail I beams with the digging frame.
Good to see this little known aspect of farming and helping to grow the nation’s crops
I worked at Speicher in 1977. First job out of high school. Speicher also made a backfiller similar to the Versatile in this video. They make Theiman lift gates in the old Speicher building now.
...... and it's all Old Codgers doing the work! Never too late to be a Star on Mike's Channel! Thanks Mike!
I'm really interested in that Soil Auger for back-filling - never seen before -any good for Hi-Speed snow-clearance, maybe with Plastic or Bristle Auger? Would be a Beast on front of my Hydro Unimog Wish my drainage was as easy as that - couldn't even THINK of pulling those machines through our stoney or slippery clay soils. Have a great Easter, despite our social problems.
Mike - Another great video showing how tiling is done. I had never seen this operation before, but had relatives in Nebraska who had it done on their farm. I understood how it works, but now know how the tile lines are put in place - simple, but very effective. Thanks for sharing this.
The bidirectional tractor is a neat machine but a small bulldozer would run circles around it backfilling and it could double as an anchor point for the trencher winch.
Those Deere tractors with the cumming engines are probably the best low rpm high torque tractors Deere had.
Thanks to a real engine
Worst mistake CIH ever did was drop the cummins engine from alot of their tractors.
JD still uses cummins in their biggest HP line. But the JD engine itself are extremely relieable. The 404 was a 10k hour engine that was very successful.
@@mjpopp the 404 was a huge dog. Had many reliability problems. Blown head gaskets were very common. Also back then John Deere ran a 45 minute hour, giving the impression the engine and tractor were long running.
@@mjpopp As I remember, FPT engines in results of Cummins and CNH Global cooperation from 1996. It's not far away from old Cummins from Cases or Steigers.
Old clay main - don't see much of those left these days around here. Most are broken or caved in - lots of the fields around here are tiled. Was such a wet year here last year. A lot of fields didn't get planted or had bad wet spots even if tilled. Thank you for the video. Take care 'Spin"
I've also seen concrete tile before too.
@@MoFire312 So have I - most of those where 'newer' then clay around here.
This is good stuff👍
Neat to see the pre-season work that goes into making a crop farm work well with the local climate!
Cool to see the bi directional working 👍
This is awsome. I'm a truck driver for Baughman Tile.
Love to see the tile going in the ground. This is the same way we tile in Central Illinois.
Your channel is probably the only one so interesting and informative, where you can see what agriculture looks like overseas.
For me living in Poland, and also a farmer is a very interesting experience.
Greetings from Poland!
Playmobil-Agro Agro Thanks
Love that 8960.thanks mike
Never seen a wonder wheel where it wasn't used on the railroad. Those things eat track switches, and wires for a living. Really cool. IF the field floods it will also help. We had too much rain last year.
Great pictures!
Thx for showing!👍🏻
Interesting video indeed. Had a buddy that did field drainage back in the day, he had a Steiger Tiger, it worked 👍
amazing machines
I like that video with the Spicer machine in 1964 I worked for a contractor who had two of them very rugged very versatile machine in northwestern Pennsylvania
The septic company that my son works for has one of the yellow trenchers over in Northeast IN.
Wish I were a farmer. Thanks Mike
The trencher sounded like it was powered by a Detroit two stroke diesel!
Speicher machinery was made in Celina, Ohio. On portland st. SPEICHER BROTHERS .
How does the run off effect the water quality down stream?
When you top dress with liquid manure? Could you hook the drain tile to a water tank for storage and future use in a drought situation?
And there by keeping your farm runoff to a minimum. Cause when driving by it reminds me of a straight pipe up a holler in Kentucky and those are bad.
Ideally, that backfiller on the bi-directional, would run the other way. This would allow the backfiller to follow right behind the wheel trencher, since the wheel trencher usually puts the dirt out on the left side. As it is now, the wheel trencher has to go always before the backfiller has enough open trench to make it worth running.
Nice looking farm ground!
Great job
Great video Mike sounds from that John Deere loads of grunt 👍👍🏴
I like the old Chevy dually
We do some tiling on our farm as well. We've got a 9560rt with a lebriect plow.
If you watch iowANFarmer channel, Why am I putting in pattern tile? There is another video after also and this guy explains tons of information on this tile machine... thx for the video.
You can see the tile plow run through the drowned out spots from last year which shows the reason they need the tiles.
i don't understand why the back fill the clay directly onto the pipe? would it not be better to coat the pipe with some single or the like?
Hey Mike If you want more infor on the wheel trencher Look up IA Farmer on youtube Several videos published about a week ago now using this trencher (recognized the operator) and on several of them go into specific detail
Great video Mike
I am guessing this tile is not perforated, as I do not see any pea gravel going in the shield to surround the tile line.. I am guessing the wheel trencher is USA manufactured because it is running a Detroit Diesel.. Maybe a 453.. No mistaking that screaming Jemmy.
Drove a new one of them, my how time flys Vesatile bi directtional that is. The air conditioning compressor keep quitting.
That deere wasn't even breathing hard pulling that tile plow....almost makes you want to buy a deere....
right Mike?!?! Hehe.
Probably because of the big 14.0L Cummins. If I had to pick a favorite green 4WD it would be the 60 & 70 series though.
@@farmhandmike was the only time John Deere made them correctly. After that series they went backwards to how they built the 20-30-40-50 series
The tile plows are still made here in Minasota
Minnesota
thank for the video. But where all the waters go ?
Speicher Tandem Traction Trencher. Built by Speicher Bros. in Celina, Ohio
one thing do the in fill sink and what do they do with the spoil left over also do they fill in when it settles could be weak spot in the field later for machinery to get stuck in
With my versatile 256, I have a post puller, pallet forks, auger, grapple fork, bucket, bale spear but not a whatever the hell machine that is. I want one...
Nice vid Mike!
Always wondered why a backhoe wasn't totally useless.
That Versatile BiDirectional tractor is coo
Nice vid mike 👌👍
How deep is the tile usually placed?
What's the permitting process like?
Hey Mike, great stuff. Maybe you would have time to look up iowANFarmer here on YT, he have put up some videos recently about how they use similar equipment to do some tile work, they also used a wheel trencher. And the guy running it in his videos gave a very good explanation about that machine.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
The yellow digger, and man running it looks to be the one I saw on a Iowa You too. ??
It is a speicher 600 trencher there is a picture showing it
Watch iowANFarmer they were using the same tile trencher
I knew it was a Detroit Diesel right off, maybe a 4-71?
4-53
sound like a Detroit Diesel engine
Is that you in the kubota? No I see someone else!
you should get one of them farming
Why do they not have ear defenders on ?
Que asen con eso , ponen agua? O sacan agua?,puede alguno explicarme
First one to like this video
Trencher was made in Celina, Ohio, see patent for details...patents.google.com/patent/US3049816
can i use some off your videos, to do a "farming tribute" ?
I dont know how this will work in the long run without ston- or clean gravel all around the pipe ,after time it will cloug up with soil
Soils with higher clay content do not require filter and should last many generations if done properly. Lighter soils or sand require a filter or sock on the tile and this ensures the system doesn’t plug up with silt and sand.
Was up in your area on the 10th do you know the history on the 90 acre farm on 127 that is for sale.
No I'm not sure what the story is. I know there is several low spots that always hold water is all.
@@farmhandmike OK thanks. Was delivery at my store up in Greenville and seen sign.
Also known as laying the pipe
Hi check out iowANFarmer videos he currently running 1 of those trenching machines gives loads of info on them . Good video Mike cheers 👍
I guess no water came out.
from France: your drains are very big, why? , we drain with 32'', drains 60''. What slope do you have? because you have little relief... Your slicer is in fine earth, if there were rocks or limestone or flint, the knives at us would melt like butter in the sun (we put 1/2 buckets carbide/tungsten) and the drainer would jump like a goat! , for plugging a bull with an angled blade is enough. What are your coupling clips, Otherwise good work. French farmer vetérans drainer
In France :we always get the drain32'' over ,on top the collector 60''
sorry had to give a thumbs down. i can live 2 or 3 adds but that was over the top
