Different type of Tile plowing!!! This is in Holland.

JD Seller · Mar 11, 2015

I found this video on you tube. It shows a tile plowing machine in Holland. What is different is that it is a "V" shaped plow that lifts the soil and places the tile with very little disturbance.

Also the type of tile is much different than what I am used to seeing installed. It looks like it has a sand/dirt barrier on the outside of it to keep the tile line from silting full over time.

Tile with a sock is what we call it here- finer mesh material than in the video. Mostly used around basement walls when backfill is fine material, but we have used it in some field tile installations where we run into sand pockets in the clay ground. Otherwise the tile silts in.

That shore is some machine. In this part of Indiana it would be difficult to do as there are rocks every where.

Yes, i am from Holland and we have been using the V plow for the last 30 years. It is much cheaper to maintain then the one with a chain. Depending on soil type on tile depth we use or don't use a barrier around the tile.
No rocks in the soil overhere. The machine did get hung up one time in one of our fields on a ship wreck. We had no idee it was there, but it is al reclamed land overhere.
