I rode out and took some more pics of the tile machine and some tile today for those who are curious about how this works.
This first picture is a close up of the machine. I know it has Deutz air cooled engine and is all wheel drive. It has a laser set up so I suppose it controls depth automatically. This is where they were running when a thunderstorm came up yesterday morning.
These three show the part that does the work. We call this type of machine a wheel. It has buckets that rotate on a wheel that is spinning. It picks up the dirt and drops it on a belt conveyer and piles it out one side or the other and the tile is put in the ditch behind the machine and small amount of dirt is pulled in the ditch.
These pics show how the tile is brought to the farm. I threw my hat on the ground in the first one to give a little perspective on the size ot the rolls. A tag on that roll said it was just over 3000 ft. The weather forecast is for a 80% chance of rain tomorrow and we really dont need it as these last pictures show. bill
