from the sound of things your putting in a drainage line and to do that you need to be able to control the angle that the pipe is laying at in order to not get high here and low there. your best bet here is a back hoe with a water line pipe bucket on it. most are 6 - 8 inches wide and don't mess the ground up that bad. you need to get a back hoe to dig the ground up where the water is standing at any way and go down a foot or so deeper than the trench your going to put in. fill that hole up to level with the bottom of your trench with 3/4 to 1 inch size gravel and then put field line pipe in a circle in the hole with one end of it sticking into the drainage pipe. fill the hole with another foot of gravel and then dirt. use the drainage tile with slits in it and not round holes. it would be best if you wrapped the drainage tile in land scaping fabric to keep it from filling with dirt over the years. if you have a lot to wrap you can buy the same material that septic tank installers use and its real cheap compared to the landscaping fabric. i worked for a man who row cropped 6000 acres and we spent all one spring fixing holes like your talking about and fixing it like i described and we never had one fail.
