Looking for a drain jetting silver bullet

[czechmate]

i have a sieger Jetter and some 1983 installed drains.
There is a 160 diam pipe blocked with roots 170 m into the field.
I have worked on this for some days now but feel I'm getting nowhere.
The nature of the soil and its ploughed with cereals I can't even walk in the area so there is no chance with a digger for months.
Is there a magic trick I am missing?

You can get jetters with cutters on the head , problem maybe shredding the pipe .

That's the kind of thing I was hoping for Howard but have been advised they are only available fie the traditional high pressure type (this being the high volume 500 psi type)

You need a root cutter/ sand tip, we have used ours to clear willow roots while in crop to keep the drain running, before we could clear them properly after the crop has been cleared.

Is that with a high pressure machine or a 40 bar type?

40 bar

40 bar

Do you have any link to a source? Would it damage plastic perfect pipe?

We got ours from GMR (Graham Mitchell Rowland), only used ours in clay pipes, but in plastic it might damage them if you used a flexible link between the PE pipe and the tip, but you used a fixed link ( steel pipe) then I think it would be fine.
