[QUOTE="Farm X, post: 7614014, member: 152407"] It lifts the soil (so all of the subsoil stays below the topsoil) and lays the pipe right behind the shear. Because we understand that it is very common outside of North America to lay gravel on top of the pipe, we do make an AggBox (lays pipe and also has a hopper on top to fill in). From all the plows that we've sold in North America, farmers haven't had the need to lay gravel and their drainage works great. Even with the plows sold throughout Europe, very few farmers find the need to lay gravel. And all of these farmers have all types of different soils from soft and sandy to hard clay. With that being said, I do understand that gravel is a common practice throughout the UK. What is nice about owning your own drainage plow is that you have the ability to experiment on a few runs and see for yourself if laying gravel is needed with this type of machine or not. We plan to visit the UK to host a demo day in late August. If you're interested in checking it out, feel free to PM me. Or if you have any more questions too. I'm always happy to continue our discussion on here as well! Do most of you contract your drainage projects or do you do it yourself? I'd be curious to know what the costs are per hectare if you contract it out. [/QUOTE]
