Can’t you put a joint instead of a patch?

How long are your patches? Make them as long as possible to avoid seepage 6 to 8 foot, then if you need another patch in a hurry you can just cut it in half and bingo...... 2 patches . I know they’re a pig to move but big is best .

Are you using the same pipes for dragging all the time? ie using your best pipes from pump and worst in field?
Only way to keep pipes good is to have ONE person use them all the time.

I wrap any bursts with duck tape then slide a patch over that seals them up plus if you can see tape when reeling out you know a patch has moved

Used to use two particular lengths for in the field which were dragged about to get worn, remainder had the easy life.

Maybe the leaping Deere should make their head gaskets out of that

Is the diegestate you are spreading warm right out of the plant ?

Digest fresh out the plant always leeks worse than normal it seems too go like oil and squeeze through the gaps ...

Mega long patches or aluminium joiners is the only way round it
