I've been looking for something to read a grade for tile work that is more accurate than a row of fence posts. Most transit levels I look at are only good for about 3/16-1/4 inch in a 100 feet, a few say good to 200 ft. I need to run some lines more like close to 1500 ft. So if the transit only can read a 1/4 inch in 200 ft that could leave me with a tile line needing water to run up hill to work. Which we all know will not happen. To see about whether there is fall for the grade from one end to the other and if I can adjust it some for depth that would be fine. But to lay tile by 1/4 +- to the 100 Ft would leave a lot to be desired or am I looking at this all wrong? No I'm not able to get anybody to plow tile in for me. Either to busy or not big enough job for them. I'm not tiling a whole farm just a few acres here and there, or replacing a line that needs to come to our side of the line. Not buying a plow for tile either might make a boot for them to slide through as I pull it along with the hoe as I dig.
