first off let me say that I am not a fan of gutters,down spouts, and tile for buildings. My present house and barn and a previous house and barn along with the 4000 sq ft house I built for my daughter have no gutters and no problems associated with the lack of. Your 1400 sq ft area will generate 400 to 600 gallons of runoff in a good rain storm. Now fill one 55 gallon openhead drum full dump it in the area of the existing drain, mentally increase it 10 times and ask if this is what you want to install 800' of tile to eliminate. The slope of the pipe is a concern. Will it be possible for the water from the ditch to backflow thru this pipe?
