Tileing wet ground ?? ( sp) tile

I worked on a tiling crew in the 80's and as recently as the spring of 04 and still run the GPS side of the business.

Cheapest, buy a used tile plow, use your 150hp+ tractor with front wheel assist or 4wd, do your tiling, and resell the tile machine to the next fella.

Biggest hassle is getting a timely appoval from the govt, can't just tile any more, need it ok'ed so you aren't draining wetlands.

If you don't have the hp to pull the plow, then you need to hire a neighbor or a pro. The old wheel or chain diggers might be selling cheaper these days, but they are a maintenence nightmare, so nothing cheap about operating one. Very nice if you want a trench to work in tho, not knocking them!

There are deep ripping mole rigs that possibly create water channels in your soil over a foot deep, & will help drainage in the right soils, right conditions, for up to 5-6 years. This is not good, too much rain, need water to pour away drainage, but can help in the right situation.

Basically said if your ground if pretty flat don't try to do it yourself-needs to have drop and too hard to do 1" over 300' without professional laser/gps high dollar stuff.

If your ground is a bit more rolling and you have a large 4wd tractor I would talk to local NRCS people to help come up with a plan. Sometimes you can get costshare if job will help avoid erosion-but then you have to do to their specs or they don't pay.
