    I wondered if the water coming out of drain tile pipes DP could be used for drinking water yet never did I ever consider it being used for irrigation as in all of DP's videos the water is considered a nuisance rather than anything else. I had figured water couldn't be used for drinking due to chemicals farmers might use on their fields to treat crops. This procedure/process never crossed my mind and I must admit it took me a bit to understand how this whole process worked, once it hit me I was blown away. Awesome video, process & machines.. Thanks so much for showing it w/o first explaining it as people are forced so think hard what's going on, me included. Wow, so cool ..

      Thank you for watching! You could probably drink water out of some tiles but I don't advise it because that's really shallow water and it's not so much the chemicals I worry about it's just the bacteria and things drink it through a life straw and you would be fine lol.....as far as using tile to supply water for irrigation that'd been Installed for drainage there just wouldn't be enough water available plus in the dry months they could just dry up

      @@davidsellars646 I worked on a ranch where they had areas where the water was mere inches below the field Was always fun raking hay and not realizing you dumped a windrow on one of those spots because your rake is 42 feet wide and your tractor never approached the spot itself, but the poor guy in the baling tractor goes head first into the hole. Was also fun walking on those spots, like walking on Jello. Was also fun because there were places you could just poke well pipe into the ground and have good water flow without any pumps at all.

    1/10/23; Wow! A 600 ft long, Horizontal Trench, 20 ft deep & ~4ft (?) diameter flex-perforated plastic tubing with double sock (sand) filter...requiring a 500 HP CAT sub-surface (excavator) narrow Trak (chain) Trencher! What a machine! Well waay down here in New Orleans area our local utility people use those (little) Vermeer Trencher machines to bury phone, fiber optic cable, gas & water lines. So this D7 CAT with rigid +20ft long, hinged narrow trak conveyor assembly is not a common sight sight waay down here in Mississippi Mud! Our subsurface geology few hundred feet down is known ( oil field speak) as Gumbo. Thx for explaining this type of 20ft deep horizontal trenching for water well & irrigation purpose. Fantastic special purpose machine. You said this company makes all their own equipment! ...and this 500 HP unit is their 'small' (only 20 depth) rig!! Great video 2day! Stay safe Brandon & show/tell us 'Gumbo' boys more of your farming stuff! Like lookin' & hearing & appreciating what farmers do to bring all us hungry people our food. Many thanks from waay down in Gumbo land!👍👍👍👏🛠⚙️💪🍺😊

    The piece that the other excavator was used to hold in place is the casing pipe for the well and they were pumping water through it into the sock covered tile pipe to keep silt from getting into the tile pipe while being installed. I think thats what happened right? This is a first for me. I knew about running tile in fields to drain the water drying them up so they could be farmed but never knew the water could be captured by putting the tile really deep and basically turning it into a horizontal well. That's really neat.

  • @XcoolcoolbeansbeansX
    @XcoolcoolbeansbeansX ปีที่แล้ว

    For anyone else wondering: he is saying "tile" which refers to that big ass hose they are burying along the trench. Generally, "tile" or "field tile" refers to buried pipe with holes or gaps that allow water to enter the pipe. This pipe can be used to allow for better drainage in wet areas, and allows for the water to be diverted else-where. I guess in this application, rather than be used for drainage, the water will be entering the "tile" as a means to supply the vertical well pipe they buried at the beginning.
    I'd never heard of this, and I had no idea what the hell he kept saying using the word "tile". Anyway, nice vid.

      Thinking here, *ZERO knowledge* on my end, before potentially incurring a ton of engineering and testing costs; due diligence stuff:
      - Local knowledge from other land owners, well drillers, and/or government ag/soil/conservation agency/board?
      - Is the aquifer that high; flow rate from/with a driven sand point well and a jet pump? [You can test that yourself relatively inexpensively.]

      Picture a lake except underground. The well does not specifically get its water from what is trenched. But from a broad area (cone of draw). This is why horizontal wells are capable of higher gpm from one well vs. Your standard vertical well which has a single point cone to draw from where as the horizontal well pulse the entire length of the tile that is laid

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is a well for irrigation it's a center pivot irrigation so the pad is the anchor point for the irrigation and the idea of the well out in the middle of the field is so everything is located right at the pivot so there is no need to bury pipe and wire to it the diesel engine will pipe right out of the well to the pivot and then the engine driven generator will supply the electric to power the pivot....when ever you can find water this close to your irrigation this set up is the set up of choices but some times you can't find water this close so in those cases we would run pipe and wire from well to pivot In the passed we have had to go at least 3/4 of a mile away to find water pipe and wire and digging it in is costly compared to this set up here

    So on the concrete slab comes a pump that sucks the water out the white platic pipe? Doesnt that pipe implode by the suction?

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  ปีที่แล้ว

      The concrete pad is for the center point of the irrigation there is a structure with four legs that will bolt to it a Diesel engine with a pump and generator will set next to it supplying the irrigation with electric and water and no the pipe will not suck shut

    Do they put a submersible pump in the stand pipe or a vertical turbine pump above the vertical pipe to actually pump the water?

      You can pump out of these with both style pumps

      We just put the 25ft boom on the other "baby machine" for another job up coming next week
      Definitely a engineering marvel. Especially when you start talking the bigger machines that the other side of our company uses

  • @danrose3233
    @danrose3233 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you do anything with all the muddy material when complete? Do you just allow it to dry out naturally? I would think it might make a strip in the field with lower yields due to poor soil.

    • @Jmeinema1
      @Jmeinema1 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is why we recommend that the top soil be removed and set aside. Usually the sand gets leveled and the topsoil placed back. There are however wells that you can see on Google maps because the top soil was never removed

    Will that not all be ground water? I assume that it will be for irrigation, so it shouldn’t really matter.

    As I was watching this I was expecting him to go down about 6 feet and then start driving backwards...then the trencher just kept disappearing...then it dawned on me "no way that trencher is gonna go vertical 90 degrees underground....sure enough! That's impressive as heck.

    I’m not sure how true it is but, I was told a long time ago that the 229 was a 225 house on a 235 undercarriage. I never quite understood the need, but if they built it, there must have been one.

      @dirtgrainsteel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a fitting welded in the side of the steel casing the tile goes on and I believe it's screwed on and then tapped really good the put it together then I pulled the casing up and they squeezed the casing to hold it and the door got shut on the bottom of the boot so that's why you couldn't see how it was connected
