- Field Drainage - Installing a Catch Basin and Main County Drain with CSI
In the field with CY Schwieterman Inc as they install a main county field drain in Darke County Ohio. In this video they are installing this to replace the original drain that was put in the early 1900's. In this video I show them installing a catch basin into a 30 inch drain that will Y off into two 24 inch drains. After the Catch basin in installed they work on installing the 24 inch drain line.
Field Tile or Farm Drainage in vey common in our area as well as much of the Corn Belt region. I have other farm drainage videos on my channel of installing the systematic drainage line in the rest of the field that will eventually work into a main tile like this.

Thanks for sharing the video of installing replacement County drainage. Makes sense the County should provide major drainage lines. I grew up in Fruita, Colorado on a 40 acre horse hay farm. Dad ceramic tiled the twenty foot deep drainage ditch top 40. He recovered many more acres to farm. Then, he had the farm leveled. But, we always had a small alkali sink in a .25 acre. I like the plants in it. Dad also installed cement ditches to have enough water for the hay & pumpkin farm. Three of us kids had our own pumpkin business young.
Adding irrigation water in the high desert, caused higher levels of alkalinity in the fields. They installed drainage for alkaline water to drain from Grand Valley floor old sea bed. So, government over a hundred yrs ago, installed in a grid if open drainage ditches through the valley from Palisade to Mack, CO. Then, it was up to property owners to maintain the deep drainage ditches, that dump off into the next wash. Then, most of the irrigation ditches in the Grand Valley were cemented to reduce the alkalinity in the Colorado River.
Cool, very professional crew, every one working together, getting the job done. Like it is supposed to work in Washington but we know that aint goina happen! Thanks for the video!!
I have personally worked for CSI and they do one hell of a job getting jobs done efficiently and in a safe manner.
I still work for them....
I got a job opportunity that I liked better
@@aaronseger1597 I hope I find one too haha
Very Interesting. I have Never seen a Machine like the one in the video. I have seen the Older machines like that but not a modern. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that's a pretty slick operation, everyone knows exactly what they're doing. And that soil looks nice and rich as well.
Should I ask for a pay raise? I was throwing that pipe
I’d say the guy yelling “now” gets the raise
@@slg792 he has the easy job of just watching pipe and yelling hahaha
Exactly what I’m thinking. No good in the rocky ground where I live though.

That was very cool!!!!! Couldn’t have been done better!!! The soil was perfect too. No rocks or roots or much else. Very well done! Everyone did their part really well from the trenching to the pipe laying to the backfilling!!!! Loved it!
This kind of operations is what tells that USA is great .
All the best from Morocco.
Great machines. They are doing a great job, but they may want to consider pointing the bell end of the pipe upstream for better connection integrity.
When the trencher picked up the box, there was a lot of weight on back and you could see her lifting a little on the tracks.
Very quick operation in the right ground conditions plus the crew know there jobs very well..
Thank you. Sometimes we have to use the excavator to lift the back end as the ground applies too much pressure
Same with the weather here in the Mid-Ohio River valley. 80s one day and snow the next. Mother Nature decided on an April Fool's joke.
Very good video. Thank you.
I kind of miss playing dirt ! 👏👏👏👏👍great job 👍🚜🪝🪝⛓⚙️
Up in Hardin County, Ohio back in the day Dad backfilled with his John Deere MD Crawler. Would have blisters on his hinnie at the end of the day. A man would use a spade on the non-dirt pile side to cover the tile so a rock from the backfill would not break the tile. Dad referred to these as the "County Ditch or Tile".
that is called bedding the tile, I have done that with every bit of tile I installed, clay and plastic. Then i fill in the trench. My father & uncle did it it that way & never had a problem using that method.
I don’t see any rocks
Man that is one heck of a gopher...You could fertilize my soil here in middle Ga. with that soil. Never seen topsoil that deep. No sand or clay just black gold. It is no wonder you folks make the yields you do. I have done drain tile before. That is hard work in that pit. That is one big shoe on that digger. Biggest we ever ran was a 12 inch. Those guys have it down to a science.
Hey from over the pond here in the UK, awsum video, no messing, straight to the action, loved it, you got a sub
Cool video. Never seen them lay the big pipe!
the structure they set is the low point in which they are starting at and laying pipe to the high point like your supposed to do then that would mean they are laying their pipe backwards. The bells always go up hill.
Would be good to see this working when finished if possible. 🏴❤️
Mike,
Had some idea of this process but your video sure made it a lot clearer. Great Drone shots too. Thanks. Look forward to more this year.

Great vidio Mike. My father-in-law was a ditcher too.
I in Florida for the winter watching a Farmhand Mike vidio.thats awesome.
excellent upload. Full watched and have a wonderful day.
Loved the hooovering shot showing the entire crew at work AFTER showing the operation being preformed at each different work station. I ahve laid literally 1000’s of miles of waterline and loved watching this trencher/digger. never been around one.
My curiosity question is simple:
How many feet per hour will this machine average in good digging like this?
Coming from a fellow tile installer here. They are laying the pipe backwards. Also I didn't see them checking elevations to ensure proper height of pipes or manhole besides the level. I'd be very nervous of this company in my opinion. However they have a nice looking buckeye!
The grade stick with the laser receiver was in multiple camera shots checking elevations around the junction box
Jesus. The grade was shot constantly.
Amazing group of people and equipment , extremely efficient, great work.
That may be more fun and interesting to watch than the farming itself. Without a doubt, unless you have sandy soil, tile is probably the best money you can put into the farmland. You don’t see wheel diggers much anymore, but there’s nothing better for the job when you’re dealing with that big diameter pipe. Happy New Year Mike and thanks for sharing!
thanks I love the drone scenes
Always great to see a competent experienced crew at their best.
Bonus suspense and mystery: that rock at about 17 minutes!!! are they going to take it out with them, plant it deep for a future bounteous crop (we all know that rocks are down there propagating maliciously), or just leave it there??? the Farmhand Mike Hitchcock channel. lol
Never seen something like this before. Thanks 🙏 Mike for sharing great 👍 video!
I miss running heavy equipment. The good ole days. :)
Very interesting video Mike!!! Great job! 👍
Damn impressive operation! Well organized crew of good working men. Time for some bushings on the cats bucket pins 🤫
Yeah we needed some bushings for a while now. Just don’t have the time to replace them!
You don't see that out in Oregon. Thanks for sharing as that was some great footage👍‼️
Actually yes you do. Many companies do Farm tile
Nice machine 👍👍👍👍👍
That tracker that is digging the pipe ditch. Similarly sound of that machine in one the episodes of the six million dollar man what actor Lee majors was fighting that machine.
Class job ,looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪
awesome team work
Enjoyed the video.
Outstanding video! 😉
Thank you very much! 😊👍🏻
I remember as a kid dropping clay tile into the ground . Talk about sore hands at the end of the day .
So cool
Now that's an interesting operation, with some very interesting kit
What a machine
nice work guys
Unreal they would put that much money into a drainage system as if it was a subdivision.
that is some kinda beautiful farm soil all the way to the bottom of the trench!
That angled connection to the concrete basin and then that second pipe to connect to it, they look suspect to me. I think there will be premature problems there.
Forcing the angles instead of using 33 degree or 45 degree fittings saves on costs but results in less than optimal solidity of the connections as well and most likely premature problems.
Really great ROV vids!
Awesome as always Mike. Great crew doing this job 100% your not having a bad day until your B@&$/ deep in mud and water. Stay healthy and safe everyone from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
Interesting video!
Hard to watch those young men down in those trenches with no shoring, ladders, etc.
I've known men who died in collapse of trench walls.
Please be safe fellas...
Yes Mark,especially at the 14:30 minutes, the weight of the backhoe can make that trench collapse and hurt that young man Whit the red cap,it was s dangerous moment.

The guy in the excavator Will get better with time
Easy work in a cornfield. Try doing that in the city with underground utilities to deal with.
Need trench boxes. Safety disaster waiting to happen.
Good video Mike. Enjoyed that very much.
Ok if the 24s are draining into the 30, then they're laying the pipe backwards
Nais video!. Thank you.
Awesome
Mike you give us a Wonder wheel for new years. :) Now find the same thing as a ballast cleaner on a railroad next to or on a farm love ot watch that! Maybee John deere or Versitle on the move on the railroad. Love to see farm equip move on a train!
Pretty neat little operation. Nice and efficient
Super neat video and educational too. Thanks Mike!
Pipe is backwards and killed way to much corn..I work for a tile
Company in new castle, Indiana we go through the crops and not destroy much crop that we can and doing a big job like that during the summer because it’s dry we do it whenever we can if there’s crops the farmers have to give us the ok go through their crops but usually we do it in the fall to planting season water doesn’t stop us unless to wet on top
I agree the sections were all put in backwards that were shown...assuming they are working "uphill" from the bottom/lowest elevation to the top/highest elevation to keep water draining out of work area/open trench . the backwards mating of pipe sections will eventually cause sink holes to open up at the joints. may take 20-30 years but it will happen...
It’s not backwards. That way works best when pushing the pipe together. And it was the farmers idea to remove that much corn. It was not needed
Must of started from uphill to downhill then
@@hubertutt5842 no. We dug upgrade
@@billysteve1503 then the pipe is backwards bell end goes up hill
Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. SWRT membranes installed below plant root systems retain water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of drought-free periods up to 3 times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes (Guber et al, 2016).
DAM THAT LOOK LIKE FUN JOB
The bugs were outrageous. Definitely not fun with the boss chewing our ass the entire time
My brother in law does tileing i know all about this, he has done tileling for me 👍👍👍
Yup
Are you sure they have done this before amount of gravel there using is wortless the pipe they took out was plastic not clay
That looks pretty interesting😁👍
Well done Mike👍😉
Gut job!!!
Zdravím a krásné záběry! :) :)
be interesting to know the average annual rainfall
Interesting video
Shouldn't there be gaskets fitted where the corregated pipes enter the basin?
Why is farm field tile drain pipe be laid without geotextile fabric, but geotextile fabric is used when laying drainage pipes around a building foundation or French drain? Thank you in advance.
Excelente video 👌👍🇻🇪
G'day Mike happy new year mate
Wish the county would do these drains in Len.Co. Michigan where they need it. Thanks mike
We used to have a farm on Gorman Rd just west of Sand Creek .
Excellent video Mike 🚜👍
I know that area. Worked with Midmark Corp as one of my MFGs in the bioMed industry.
Who is Mike Less?....I was told to watch his channel..by this guy who knows this guy...🤔
Collectively that is a “well oiled machine”
Люди живут с какой то перспективой куда то идут, завидую и восхищаюсь потому что мы в России уже давно никуда не идём да и не уверен шли ли вообще куда-нибудь
intresting video Mike
Mike, did you mention how many miles of tile were laid and how many days this installation took to completion? Good job with the video.
Very interesting video. I enjoyed it and learned something new
This was great
Well that was interesting, (and good), video of an operation you don't see everyday. Who stands the cost of it all after it splits, or is it just divided evenly amongst everyone who uses it. Also do they run anything over the top of the filled in trench after, or is it just allowed to settle on it's own.
One of the pipes exiting the junction box appears not to be joined properly, wouldn't that allow water to not drain properly?
This was different, but I liked it a lot, Thanks Mike
Interesting video👍👍
Once they're rolling, how many feet of pipe can they put down per hour??
Thanks!
I was working on this job, It depends on the size of the pipe. But on a perfect operation, 70-100 feet a hour
@@billysteve1503 thanks, that sure is gettin' after it, stay safe
That's one helluva digger
Would liked to have them install a sheet of geo textile fabric and 8-12 " of limestone under that catch basin. Perhaps a "plastic hat" on the folks in the trench but most importantly, Mike Less shirts on everyone in the video. They may work for Cy, but this is a Mike Less video.
I did enjoy the video but it would be appreciated if you would bring the drone down lower to the project for a better perspective thank you
Hm, interesting but, why the drenaze is soo big?
You should get with Jeremy Goyings with GoDrain tile out of Paulding Ohio
Great job
👍 heck of a video Mike
What if you hit a really big rock or ledge? Really interesting video
We’ve hit many many rocks. We would stop laying the pipe, and pull the box out. Then the excavator would go to the front of the trench and dig out the rocks
can someone explain what the purpose of this is please.
interesting video
Nice😃😃😃
