[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 7614907, member: 156006"] Seen lots of fields drained with this type of machine. Personally I think they require a lot more power and traction than the majority in the uk would have available. Part of the reason the US Midwest is not using gravel is they are sold the concept that drainage is fir lowering the subsoil water table to make space for the heavy rains during th3 growing season. lots Of surface drainage also the deal with a 6 inch thunderstorm rain event. These tile plots leave quiet a ridge of heaved up soil which will take a few years to settle. I like the idea of tile drainage and have kicked around the idea numerous times as my soil has poor natural drainage and would benefit from a lower water table. Buying the plow is only part of the kit needed to do the job correctly. rtk gps with elevation unlocks is needed if your doing any distance and are in flatter ground. [/QUOTE]
