This video brings back good memories for me. When I was a young man I used to make connections behind these kind of plows all day. I took pride in my work. Nobody took and threw trash in the pilot holes. No twine, no plastic tile scraps. When it came to connections I didn't want to waste an inch of tile. So I tried to be fast. I would have the connection ready and locked before the machine began moving forward 99 percent of the time. I also was a spotter and tile locator for the guy digging pilot holes up against the main. So with short runs sometimes I really had to run back and forth a lot while carrying a shovel and a locating probe. It made me lean and strong. Later the boss bought a UTV for me so I didn't have to run so much. On a hot day I would drink 2 gallons of water and 1/2 gallon of lemonade. I remember the dirt getting in my leather boots and a new pair of socks would have holes in them by the end of the day.. I got noticed for my achievements and eventually got more responsibility. I started surveying and later operated a Bron 550 plow. That has been the only piece of equipment i ever ran where you have seats across from each other and you sit sideways in the cab because you have to look forward and backwards at the same time. I think our rolls of 4" tile would have 200 rod (3,300' ) of tile per roll.
I am all for classroom learning, however, nothing beats the learning on a farm. Lots of good life lessons. I was luck as a kid to live near dairies, and work on farms. While it didn't end up my career, it gave me respect and understanding of how tough it is to put food on the table.
Been missing Randy on the videos. I used to loved the “Check ins with Randy” jingle and segment where you featured him in some of the ends of your videos.
The simmy shaky, but not more than twice. That's what she said. Seriously though your explanation on why tile is put into a field is spot on. People sometimes confuse the thought process of just draining a field dry of water. When it couldn't be farther from the truth. There is a fine balancing act between proper nutrient distribution and water needs for growing plants. Keep up the great work. It was good to see Onyx out and about.

The field behind my house was done a few years ago and they had a converted army tank that had a camera mounted in the hole while it was trenching. Rode with them for 1/2 a day and gave them a hand in the holes. Pretty cool. Big boy tonka trucks.
I did this work for a season. Hardest physical work I've done. These guys make it look easier than I remember. We were all laser at the time. GPS is a huge leap forward for install and as-built. I had a shovel in my hand all day making connections and stringing tile ahead of the plow. Good times!
The cold and shorter days are very hard to deal with. It's hard for many people and it can affect your mental health quite a lot when it is below freezing for 5 months straight with the sun setting at 4 pm
The unstated value for soil fertility (profits) by using this "plow" type of drain-pipe installation, compared to trenching, is that the soil horizons are not mixed, or the black soil does not end up under the yellow subsoil. As a landscape scientist, who has taken a lot of soil science classes, I noticed this. When hand diggingsoil pits, or digging trenches using a back hoe, back filling inevitably means that a lot of top soil ends up at the bottom and the subsoil ends up at the surface creating a "slick spot." That backfilling the black on the bottom, and the yellow on top, is shown in this video where the crew had to use back hoes to connect the laterals to the main drain. This "plow" installation, rather that entirely trenching, is important from a soil health standpoint. Long time watcher of your channel, keep up the good work of connecting consumers to the realities of farming
I saw this video. I ordered a few cans of WD-40 contact cleaner. Didn't even know WD-40 made contact cleaner. We have been using a blue shower, which costs 3 times more per can. The WD-40 contract clear worked great! I will recommend it to our Global Supply Chain. I work for a global mining giant, here in Arizona. I grew up on a farm. Love the videos!!!
Those rocks look just like the ones we had on our farm in Southern Manitoba. we had one that was about 10ft by 6ft and stuck out about 3ft above ground. Dynamite was the answer! Our farm was about 50 or 60 miles West of Emerson MB and 4.5 miles North of the 49th. I didn't realize that the glaciers extended that far to the East of us.
I live in Manitoba Canada, and we have no snow on the ground. This is awesome, but we don't have a master pipe layer, so that is sad. LOL. Thank you all for educating a city kid and keeping it interesting.

Zach, I just wanted to say that this was one of the all-time coolest videos you've ever posted. Seeing what Randy does and how his team does it was awesome! This might be a great idea for a new mini-series with other people who perform jobs that tie directly into farming and keeping the farmer and his fields working at top efficiency.

Watching this on Monday 11/23, which wasn't bad for a Monday. I didn't have the Millennial Farmer poking me in the ribs with a boot (Red Deer) and asking me if I'm OK, which makes this day a plus!
Growing up on an irrigation farm in the Texas Panhandle the LAST thing we wanted to do was let water get away (18" rain average!) so when I came to Kentucky and saw folks actively draining water I was amazed.

Great video, interesting to see different way you install drains for agriculture in US, we usually use a gravel backfill in our heavy Scottish soils , which have much higher rainfall .🏴
It's a strange name right?I learned of them a couple of years back but took almost that long to find out *why* they got that name! Eventually i found pictures .The original method consisted of flat tiles with U shaped tiles placed upside down on top,forming a hollow shape
Im watching the video before school im writing it for about 2 more weeks im writing math thanks this video gets me motivated for the day and gets me through the day thanks Zach.
Drain tile draws down the ground water table so corn roots have to go deeper. This makes the corn plant hardier and able to have a better draw area for water and nutrients. Corn yields increase. In your soil type, a 70 to 80 foot tile run separation sounds about right. From a retired Drainage Engineer.
I, too, found this video very interesting on how they lay tile in the field. Thank you for your continued explanations on farming operations for us city slickers.
Man that machine sounds awesome with the steel tracks slapping around. Love the track veiw ride too and the whine of those drive motor and planetary!!! Great camera work there bud.
That is some darn impressive tech there! Wow, what the right tools do for making a job look..... easier.... I think that’s the right word as it sure is not an easy job. Thanks for sharing the fun.
De-rocking fields is one of the jobs I did as a kid growing up in rural Indiana. There would be 50 kids with buckets lined up in a row about 5 feet apart and a tractor with a front loader following behind. We would walk the fields and pick up rocks. Once your bucket got full you would haul ass to empty it into the loader and then back to your spot. Any thing too big we would call out and the loader would come up and dig it out, then the whole line would continue. Man, I must have walked 20 mile a day if felt like. And I got exactly $1 an hour. Sunup to sundown. Some long summer days. But when you got that handful of cash at the end of the week, you forgot about all that misery and toil.
@ 3:02 the "My favorite Red Tactor" made me smile. (Alaskan coastal fisherman, metal boat builder, welder) was a cute skit of the " farmer tester's relation" to the machine.
Hi that was a fantastic video ,i thoroughly enjoyed every second of it ,as a retired 360 operator here in Scotland ,that was a fantastic machine for laying tile ,love from Bonnie Scotland
Follow up: After using some Google-Foo in an effort find a decent looking WD-40 coffee mug or tumbler, it became apparent that the WD-40 company may be missing out on a potential profit stream by not offering any official WD-40 merch like fashionably branded and high quality coffee mugs, t-shirts, and hoodies. I found some independent Pinterest and Esty references for mugs/tumblers, but nothing I trust from a consumer standpoint. In some situations there were none currently available or the price was a bit too steep for my wallet to climb. $16 for what is an unofficially branded $1 ceramic coffee mug is hard to drink from. Note: I did find a few t-shirts offered by independent shirt retailers with the WD-40 logo on them. Not sure of the quality though. So... Zach... If you get a chance... Maybe talk with your WD-40 rep and bring this up. Maybe the MF store could be a distributor of excellent, official merch for the excellent and reputable WD-40 brand. Just a thought/suggestion. ;-) In the meantime, I will keep looking for a good looking WD-40 mug that is sold through a reputable resource.

This was the first job I had in agriculture back in the 70s we laid clay tile about a foot long then covered with stone and I had the job of back filling with an angle blade on a 4 wheel drive tractor G Miles and Sons back home in England they had 6 cat D 7s they got from the US Air Force when they put them in gear and ran them into the North Sea Miles was there to pull them out stripped them down and cleaned them up and when I worked for him in 77 they were still running the Air Force didn’t want the expense of shipping them home they buried thousands of dollars worth of trucks Jeep’s tools you name it they buried it wow how far things have come through the years
@@Rubedo777 ya I know man we used to play as kids on them old fuel tanks always found bullets they sweep from the B17 s for years people have looked for that stuff and they still have not found it 👍
Fun fact: WD-40 is mostly mineral spirits. >50%. Mineral oils >25%. The rest is driers, fragrance and propellants. It is technically a Stoddard solvent. The old guys here will remember that as Varsol.

Man, that Randy is a SPECIALIST! Fascinating to watch! He said "well oiled machine" and I agree. We don't see much of that action down south here. Very well done, Zach!
You have the Millennial touch Zach ! A guy from our town built all his tile line machines as he had 3 to keep his family busy as he had 13 plus kids. He was a very smart guy. He built his shop 50 yards from the house, but there was a tunnel from the house to the shop and he used ground heat to keep the shop warm in the winter.
For French drains around buildings and such they always have filter fabric around the pipe to keep silt from clogging everything. Why isn’t it needed in this application?
it's a cost-to-benefit ratio deal .... while the lines could benefit from it, the additional cost per foot just won't pay out in increased crop yields.
We emptied a drain line that was 4 years old in a golf course...there were so many capillary roots you could fill a dump truck....and we did. It sucks.
@@topangachronic9463 I've put a few French drains in and if there was trees nearby we put root killer in the ditch. I've seen pine tree roots run up 100 foot septic lines through the D-box into the tank.

Very interesting and educational and almost unbelievable of the capabilities of operators and machinery! Forty years ago I worked on a much smaller rig doing plastic tile as well as clay tile. My guess is no more clay tile used today. 👍
@@Matthunter0767 Only true silt soils are made up of small enough particles that are able to get through the slits in the pipe walls. So when draining these soils special fabric has to be fitted to the pipe to prevent this from happening - often referred to a sock.

I, too, found this video very interesting on how they lay tile in the field. Thank you for your continued explanations on farming operations for us city slickers.
Man that machine sounds awesome with the steel tracks slapping around. Love the track veiw ride too and the whine of those drive motor and planetary!!! Great camera work there bud.
That's probably the most unique place *anybody* has put a GoPro.
I was going to say that.
That was the Master pipe layer's idea!
Someone has put one inside of a engine Before
I know of someone who put one thru a combine, it didn't fair as well. (it was the welkers)
Is it strange that i wanted to duck as the camera passed protrusions?haha
I've laid water mains and sewer lines..but not that quick..awesome..
That is some darn impressive tech there! Wow, what the right tools do for making a job look..... easier.... I think that’s the right word as it sure is not an easy job. Thanks for sharing the fun.
That inter drain machine has some “balls”
*Go Pro in the tile plow tracks*
"Weee, o we're coming to another turn, weee!"
De-rocking fields is one of the jobs I did as a kid growing up in rural Indiana. There would be 50 kids with buckets lined up in a row about 5 feet apart and a tractor with a front loader following behind. We would walk the fields and pick up rocks. Once your bucket got full you would haul ass to empty it into the loader and then back to your spot. Any thing too big we would call out and the loader would come up and dig it out, then the whole line would continue. Man, I must have walked 20 mile a day if felt like. And I got exactly $1 an hour. Sunup to sundown. Some long summer days. But when you got that handful of cash at the end of the week, you forgot about all that misery and toil.
@ 3:02 the "My favorite Red Tactor" made me smile. (Alaskan coastal fisherman, metal boat builder, welder) was a cute skit of the " farmer tester's relation" to the machine.
More off the husk please I am going through withdrawals and it makes me feel like I'm not drinking alone
That’s not a rock, that’s a boulder 🤣
Thanks Randy for letting us come along, even with Zach.
Hi that was a fantastic video ,i thoroughly enjoyed every second of it ,as a retired 360 operator here in Scotland ,that was a fantastic machine for laying tile ,love from Bonnie Scotland
Jim’s a bloody legend.....so much so....they should name a national American 🇺🇸 day after him.....like Jim’s day and give him the keys 🔑 the state:-)
MN already gave them to the bother humper in congress.
And as humble as a guy Jim seems to be, he'd say "Oh, you don't have to do that" haha
I died laughing at you saying goodbye to the case😂😂😂
That was a very informative video. When they tiled my Grandpas farm the did it with t backhoe and levels, way before gps was deployed.
🔥🔥Thx for bringing us along out to see the tile plow in the field 🔥🔥
Mornin {holds up coffee mug in a toast}
I just realized I need to find a quality WD-40 coffee mug. Don't know why I just thought of that...
Follow up:
After using some Google-Foo in an effort find a decent looking WD-40 coffee mug or tumbler, it became apparent that the WD-40 company may be missing out on a potential profit stream by not offering any official WD-40 merch like fashionably branded and high quality coffee mugs, t-shirts, and hoodies.
I found some independent Pinterest and Esty references for mugs/tumblers, but nothing I trust from a consumer standpoint.
In some situations there were none currently available or the price was a bit too steep for my wallet to climb. $16 for what is an unofficially branded $1 ceramic coffee mug is hard to drink from.
Note: I did find a few t-shirts offered by independent shirt retailers with the WD-40 logo on them. Not sure of the quality though.
So... Zach... If you get a chance... Maybe talk with your WD-40 rep and bring this up.
Maybe the MF store could be a distributor of excellent, official merch for the excellent and reputable WD-40 brand. Just a thought/suggestion.
;-)
In the meantime, I will keep looking for a good looking WD-40 mug that is sold through a reputable resource.

I’m really going to miss the welker wagon.
But I told myself I wouldn’t cry
😭😭😭
That's pretty neat. You can tell by the way that it is!
What a good looking all around kid he is, kows when to speak up and all! And Zach way to go, great friends share whats in the fridge!
This was the first job I had in agriculture back in the 70s we laid clay tile about a foot long then covered with stone and I had the job of back filling with an angle blade on a 4 wheel drive tractor G Miles and Sons back home in England they had 6 cat D 7s they got from the US Air Force when they put them in gear and ran them into the North Sea Miles was there to pull them out stripped them down and cleaned them up and when I worked for him in 77 they were still running the Air Force didn’t want the expense of shipping them home they buried thousands of dollars worth of trucks Jeep’s tools you name it they buried it wow how far things have come through the years
yea the USAF buried a tonof stuff at Burtonwood Air Field near where I live....what a waste. Why not just give it to Britain or the people to use.
@@Rubedo777 ya I know man we used to play as kids on them old fuel tanks always found bullets they sweep from the B17 s for years people have looked for that stuff and they still have not found it 👍
Fun WD-40 Fact: WD-40 was originally used to protect the stainless steel atlas rocket in the 1950s, and was quickly grown into the brand it is today.
Fun fact: WD-40 is mostly mineral spirits. >50%. Mineral oils >25%. The rest is driers, fragrance and propellants. It is technically a Stoddard solvent. The old guys here will remember that as Varsol.
I was told that it was developed to dry out the distributors on military jeeps. I learn something everyday.
I'm so glad there making equipment so much more youtube friendly now. There really going that extra mile for the customer's
For a city guy from Canada, thank you to you and Randy for explaining and showing the tiling process
I am guessing that onyx has recovered
It's been a couple of weeks. Hard to tell when the video's were shot though.
@@coralielinnerg2841 this is not the right comment
@@TheOneSaskatchewanFarmBoy ...Make sure you report it. There is no room for that nonsense on here.
The sound of theese tracks are so satisfying

I did use W--D40 for 15 yrs before i went in the Army ,,since i been out 50 yrs i am going to start buying it again,,,,thanks
Man, that Randy is a SPECIALIST! Fascinating to watch! He said "well oiled machine" and I agree. We don't see much of that action down south here. Very well done, Zach!
A can of WD-40 should be included with every Hi-Lift jack.
Man, that's the truth!
Hahahah
I was waiting or Randy to say "I thought he'd never leave"
I didn't realize it was installed so deep. Very cool.
You sure make farming interesting, watch every episode...and this comes from an old city slicker. 👌
This wasn’t the pipe laying I thought I was gonna watch today
Millennial Farmer: “ you are my favorite red tractor all season.”
CaseIH: “ Jimmy!!!!... get the phone we have a very important customer.”
11:28 "That looks like a rock to me". LOL, that's a very huge one 😂
You have the Millennial touch Zach ! A guy from our town built all his tile line machines as he had 3 to keep his family busy as he had 13 plus kids. He was a very smart guy. He built his shop 50 yards from the house, but there was a tunnel from the house to the shop and he used ground heat to keep the shop warm in the winter.
Seriously, who the hell dislikes this kind of videos?! It's so satisfying!!
15:41 just smile and wave, smile and wave onyx (sorry if I spelt his name wrong Zach)
looks fun when operating that pipe layer . you guys look like fun to hang out with and do work .
Farming has never been an interest of mine until I came across your videos, keep the great content coming!
For French drains around buildings and such they always have filter fabric around the pipe to keep silt from clogging everything. Why isn’t it needed in this application?
it's a cost-to-benefit ratio deal .... while the lines could benefit from it, the additional cost per foot just won't pay out in increased crop yields.
We emptied a drain line that was 4 years old in a golf course...there were so many capillary roots you could fill a dump truck....and we did. It sucks.
@@tf7274 same here,roots render pipe useless without even entering inside of pipe.Will never use it again
I was wondering the same thing because drain tile around where I live is socked with filter fabric
@@topangachronic9463 I've put a few French drains in and if there was trees nearby we put root killer in the ditch. I've seen pine tree roots run up 100 foot septic lines through the D-box into the tank.

Very interesting and educational and almost unbelievable of the capabilities of operators and machinery! Forty years ago I worked on a much smaller rig doing plastic tile as well as clay tile. My guess is no more clay tile used today. 👍
In dirtwork we may yell and cuss at each other a bunch but this video proves that there is no better group of people to be working with .
Out of curiosity why no sock on pipe?? Won’t the pipe eventually fill with dirt? 😀😀
It only fills with dirt when it enters the ditch
Dirt is heavy enough up here (I live in mn too) that it won't to into those slots
@@Matthunter0767
Only true silt soils are made up of small enough particles that are able to get through the slits in the pipe walls. So when draining these soils special fabric has to be fitted to the pipe to prevent this from happening - often referred to a sock.
South central PA shale ground would clog that up with clay. Interesting to see how it works great in other soils
