I watch quite a few farm youtubes, both agri and dairy of different scales, one thing I really love about this channel is I'm learning a lot about the *why* things are done
I am so impressed that your are able to assemble such an excellent team of guys that are dedicated to your success! To get folks to work in the freezing weather and lend their unique expertise to all the different aspects of this project is really a testament to your ability to assemble/lead/support a team.
Grant, I just wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration you have been to me to achieve my goals and hopefully have my own farm one day. I live on one right now but I don’t know if we will still have it in 20 years with the way the world is growing around us. This may sound silly but you have impacted my life in sooo many ways from watching your farm sim vids everyday after school, and watching your farm, and knowledge about farming grow as you went! Such a huge inspiration! Thanks for doing what you do and bringing us along with!!
I've been watching this farm grow for the two years you've had it and I've got to say grant, i'm impressed. You have inspired me and the farm I live on now probably won't be here in 8 years with my grandma owning it and her being about 73-76. I really hope that I'll be able to buy it someday and have my own farm.
Really nice, Grant! That's A LOT of work right there! I'm sure it will be worth it in yields! I used to watch iowANFarmer when he was starting out. He's a super nice guy! Nice to see Spencer's equipment and his growing expertise in the mix as well! I think I remember Buck from your booth at one of the shows. You marshaled the resources, something you are really good at it, even in complex ways! That software was awesome too! looking forward to the next one with the laterals, etc. Thanks again!
Glad to see another video. I've been following you from day one and have to say you are doing an amazing job, just wish you would put out more videos but I understand you have many irons in the fire. Still yet, you are a pioneer in establishing your farm. Bad spell of weather for tiling but you guys got it accomplished. Great video, thank you.
It’ll be interesting to see the yield difference from this year compared to last year. Can’t wait to see what happens on the farm this year as a whole. Great video Hilbert bros
Happy new year I'm glad to see you getting it done although it was pretty tough going hope it increases your yield enough to pay for it all Have a safe year
Alot of people always ask why we run down standing crop to put tile in. This is exactly why, no fighting the mud and cold and rarely need to hitch on more iron to pull. You'll loving having it done though. Tile is one of the best investments you can make
Dad and I use to plow in the winter during the night, sleep during the day for the same reason - slime. Use to start at 11PM and plow until 11am while the ground was frozen. Worked but you knew when it was time to quiet for the day. Probably too much going on during the night to safety lay pipe.
Can you do a video about all the american sports players (Joe Burrow, Blake Griffin, etc.) who are planning to buy a bunch of farmland around the country and rent it out for cheap? I feel like it'd be a good informational video because I've heard alot of good and bad sides of it.
If the 8110 could have been used, would the 2 tractors have been better than the excavator/quadtrac combination? It seems this is a very expensive project! How long will it take to recoup with the increased yields?
The slits in the tile are thin enough little dirt should enter. That little bit gets washed out. Gophers are a bigger problem in my area. They dig down, find the tile. Use the ready made tunnel but pack it with dirt. You have to put a new tile next to it. Every farmer that puts in tile. Wishes they put it in decades ago. But it’s not cheap.
Tile in the ground means more profit in the long run . Before you know it you'll be farming 1000 acres and have a few more tractors n bin set up . Keep up the work man
Its called tiling because the pipe that goes in the ground is called drainage tile. It comes from what drainage tile was before the plastic pipe. Before plastic pipe actual clay tile was used.
Let’s say over a decade ago it was $2 per foot. Plus extra charge for each connection, extra for each outlet. That was spring project planned, GPS mapped in fall with a side by side. Never needed to hook onto tile tractor. But I wish I had done 3x the amount of tile. I have not gotten stuck in the decade plus since then in those areas. Nor had to drive around, skip. Except the field tiled 30+ years ago the tile is damaged by gophers. (True the outlet did not allow for decent slope to rinse out dirt. It dried soil, gophers got in, it got wet, they moved on. Now I spend time feeding the gophers…
Can I ask why? I am on my 3rd diesel pickup. Smoke (except at startup in cold weather) is a sign your truck is not set up right. You realize people have ZERO trouble believing diesels are bad for the environment when they see the messy, smelly idiot rolling coal. My trucks WORK. Pulling equipment over a hundred miles.
Excavators are worthless doing this work. They don’t have grousers to grip the ground. A little dozer would have been the hot ticket. There is a company that makes bolt on grousers for excavators but they are located here in Europe. I weld added grousers on in the winter then remove them in the late spring.
Another trick to add traction is extend the boom / bucket maximum out in front of the machine. You have the counter weight on the rear so the boom extended out gets more weight on the front of the tracks.
It’s messy following the trail, most trenchers dump dirt one side. IF the trencher can get to exact depth, GPS controlled. That’s fine. But normally that tractor/tile machine can lay that tile at steady rate across the field. At a fast walking speed. But conditions were slick. Which raises cost. I have never priced cost to hire a +8” trencher, set up with full GPS to put in (do I recall 70,000 FEET?). I suspect it would take many times as long, cost many times as much money. IIRC he said aiming for @3’ depth? It’s common to have small raises in field. So the plow has to go deeper to maintain the slope. (Why they drive over route first empty). They can see if ground would require greater depth then tile machine can do, or worse. That in places the tile would get too close to surface. Hitting a tile with deep ripper ruins that tile. Requiring lots of backhoe work to find ends of damage, dig new tile in.
Grant, good to see you decided to put in drainage (tiles) in this wet part of your farm. Only in this way I am afraid that you will certainly experience problems in the first few years because of the damage to the structure of the soil due to the mud with the excavator and the quadtrac. Is there no other way in your area to have the drains installed? I come from the Netherlands and every hectare has drainage there. Check out the video to see how they do it there. th-cam.com/video/ApDigygmA3Q/w-d-xo.html
@@waynejones5239 I watched that video. Yes that makes a lot more sense to use a dedicated machine that is suitable for the job, rather than using a tractor which is hardly suitable for this and has to be helped by an excavator to move forward. The structural damage to the soil is enormous the way Grant does it.
So you’re going to drain the nitrogen loaded runoff into a creek … that’s not good. That’s what’s killing the Mississippi basin. You’ll get more corn to sell, but at what cost for the future? This short-sighted thinking is what’s destroying the planet.

That is really going to increase the value of your field, and boost yield!
love this channel and "the squad" youtube channel
Great job about explaining tile. Can’t wait to hear how the field performs next year!
You are not afraid of work that's for sure. Good to see.
It’ll be interesting to see the yield difference from this year compared to last year. Can’t wait to see what happens on the farm this year as a whole. Great video Hilbert bros
What see much of a difference this year. Takes about 2-3 years for the water to find path to tile.
If it goes through really wet areas it will make a difference the first year then get better after that
The first 5 years is the hardest
Perfect little tractor grant you should get one!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing
Great video grant
I can’t wait for American farming
Is it ever going to be released
He said it will be a little bit
Ive been waiting for someone to make his farm as a mod for farm sim hopefully he makes his farm a map on the game
@@onlygaming69 its not going to be cause he has john deere equipment and the game doesn't have john deere equipment
@@coltshipman65he means in farm sim
Ben's mighty Ghostbusters truck putting in the work
Happy new year I'm glad to see you getting it done although it was pretty tough going hope it increases your yield enough to pay for it all Have a safe year

That little johndeere is awesome little workhorse love it 😊
Keep up the good work!!! Love the videos guys
Just wanna let you know Grant that our "local" farming newspaper did and article about you! (Im from Sweden!) 🤩🤩
Dad and I use to plow in the winter during the night, sleep during the day for the same reason - slime. Use to start at 11PM and plow until 11am while the ground was frozen. Worked but you knew when it was time to quiet for the day. Probably too much going on during the night to safety lay pipe.
Love the vids on all of your channels
That's awesome love it!!
Hey Grant may it be a great year for The Squad I'm from Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil🇧🇷
Amazing job
Happy New Year
Great Job
Love it
love the vids. keep up the good work
"They Trusted Me With A Stick!"
Sounds like Spencer is a good friend!
It’s awesome that You Do In Real Life Videos With Buck
looks like a cold job you did there ... :P nice work and happy new year from the Netherlands
Buck uhhhhaaaa I’m cold 🥶😂😭 nice and great video
Hi!!!!!! I haven’t seen your vids but n forever!
And I thought the Welkers had a crazy pull when installing their utilities. Lol
Love seeing a case on the farm!😂😂😂
I love your vids and content!
Nice to see some red paint on that farm haha
I love your farming videos squad
Great video Grant from Bryer
Hopefully the tile helps that field yield better
Raw experience
If your ever interested in full system design and installation at a professional level let us know if we can help!
Thanks

In farm sim it would be nice to have mud and flooding so you would have to tile your fields with your choice of tileing machines
⛄️☃️❄️🌨️
When will the date be for American farming. Will it be available on iphone and Android
When you said buck is that the rental man buck
what company did u buy the field tile from?
Keep up the good work
Please do more of the start from scratch in fs22 with Buck
Just curious I have seen many videos like this why do you guys not use stone and filter fabric around the tile won’t it silt up on you.
Keep the videos coming bro!
Love it, Lay that pipe!! Lol
I just finished reading the article about you on AgWeb Daily and it was amazing and your story is sooo cool
That jhondere is what you need
I hope Tile help your farm Grant
Would it have helped to pre rip it?
Where did you buy the tile from
Did you get thawed out grant from being in the cold bud ??
A lot of work but you did a great job
Hey! Grant will you ever get a second tractor may be red like a magnum
Load the military truck up full of dirt and use it to pull the quad track 🤷🏾♂️
How long would it take before you hit the break even point financially? Also...it seems like that tile would just fill up with mud pretty quick.
The slits in the tile are thin enough little dirt should enter. That little bit gets washed out. Gophers are a bigger problem in my area. They dig down, find the tile. Use the ready made tunnel but pack it with dirt. You have to put a new tile next to it. Every farmer that puts in tile. Wishes they put it in decades ago. But it’s not cheap.
Is there any news on American Farming? Also keep up the good work!
You should buy a 4960 tractor for next season they are the best tractor ever
Nice bro
Regarding the dust on the lens issue, to quote John Wayne in 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon', "Never apologize mister, it's a sign of weakness."
I always thought the same thing. He's always apologizing for everything
Some times if he won't do that you won't know how to fix something that he then explains
Tile in the ground means more profit in the long run . Before you know it you'll be farming 1000 acres and have a few more tractors n bin set up . Keep up the work man
I heard most wheel bearings on equipment are only rated for 40-60 km/h
How much did it cost you to start your farm
Rubber Wheels would do better to pull that. We just stuck in about $75,000 in tile on our new Farm
No, wheels would not do better. Tracks are superior to wheels when it comes to tiling. Don't give advice when you don't understand tiling.
I can’t wait until u buy more equipment
When pulling tile you'd damn near need a cat D8 high track
Dose grant like case Ih tractors now
Can someone explain why they call installing underground drainage pipes "Tiling"?
Its called tiling because the pipe that goes in the ground is called drainage tile. It comes from what drainage tile was before the plastic pipe. Before plastic pipe actual clay tile was used.
How much was all the tile?
Let’s say over a decade ago it was $2 per foot. Plus extra charge for each connection, extra for each outlet. That was spring project planned, GPS mapped in fall with a side by side. Never needed to hook onto tile tractor.
But I wish I had done 3x the amount of tile. I have not gotten stuck in the decade plus since then in those areas. Nor had to drive around, skip.

When American farming coming out
Need to make that 6.0 roll coal 8 inch tip on the Exhaust... chip it then she will roll coal
Can I ask why? I am on my 3rd diesel pickup. Smoke (except at startup in cold weather) is a sign your truck is not set up right. You realize people have ZERO trouble believing diesels are bad for the environment when they see the messy, smelly idiot rolling coal. My trucks WORK. Pulling equipment over a hundred miles.
Man I wish we could run tile in fs 22
Is buch gonna be your next hired hand?
No, Buch lives in Nebraska
You should have probably pre-ripped the run before you Installed the tile now you're going to have humps in the main.
Excavators are worthless doing this work. They don’t have grousers to grip the ground. A little dozer would have been the hot ticket. There is a company that makes bolt on grousers for excavators but they are located here in Europe. I weld added grousers on in the winter then remove them in the late spring.
Another trick to add traction is extend the boom / bucket maximum out in front of the machine. You have the counter weight on the rear so the boom extended out gets more weight on the front of the tracks.
Hey buch you still cold buddy
Austin farmer irl???
hate to say this, but a trencher would be helpful in front of the drain tile train.
It’s messy following the trail, most trenchers dump dirt one side. IF the trencher can get to exact depth, GPS controlled. That’s fine. But normally that tractor/tile machine can lay that tile at steady rate across the field. At a fast walking speed. But conditions were slick. Which raises cost. I have never priced cost to hire a +8” trencher, set up with full GPS to put in (do I recall 70,000 FEET?). I suspect it would take many times as long, cost many times as much money.

Requiring lots of backhoe work to find ends of damage, dig new tile in.
Some of the larger trenchers will go just as deep
When ur farm sim tractors stuck be like
if there are people who don't know Buch they've been living under a rock or in a cave
I saw. Buch
So I wouldn't suggest letting everybody see what buttons your pushing o. Your door lock for your shop....
It’s reprogrammed, if anyone uses that it sets off a trap door to a pit. ;).
