have a goldigger plow since spring of '99. took 5 years to tile my farm as the field came open and time allowed. really reasonable cost wise when you do it your self. best time to tile in my opinion is after wheat.after I was all tiled up, and before the requists for tiling started coming in and been busy in my spare time tiling for other people. more work than I can keep up with. haven't seen the problems with the smeering of the sides of the trench and the lines not working. ifn you don't get in a hurry after tiling and let the mounded up dirt dry for 4-5 days it crumbles back into the trench real nice. don't drive over the trench to pack it down, you don't want that. also when you dig up the lines to hook up new lines you will notice a top soil streek following up to the surface where the top soil fell backdown to the tile, this is the easiest path for the water to get into the tile, even if the tile trench was smeared, that's why you don't want to pack down the trenches till they are crumbly, then run over them with a digger.even if the trench was smeered, eventually frost would take care of the problem eventually. if tile lines weren't working, maybe they weren't installed right.what makes you feel really good is when you get started some and go look at the outlet and there is water coming out! as far as the gps, I bought that system 2 years ago, lots easier than surveying everything with a laser. have had some problems neer a woods or fenceline with trees where the signal wasn't good enough, or not at all. was told I could switch to the "glouchnov" system using more Russian satallites, but more money, haven't done that yet. maybe wait to see what the chineese come up with first! tiling works really nice if you have three people, two tiling and stringing, one digging holes ahead. I use a white 4-270 tractor for tiling and a 4-210 for puller tractor. the 4-270 pulls the plow most of the time and its got rice tires on all the way around. I am pulling a 6" boot all the time so I don't have to change back and forth with 4". this probably helps whith the tile trench as its wider and allows more loose dirt to fall back into the trench

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
