I didn't quality for Soil Conservation Cost share on this project so I want to do it myself. This will be my first project with a Cat7-17A I purchased. I know filling the ditch and putting the tile in with a excavator or tilling machine would be preferred, but the ditch is only 117 feet from the neighbors fence to my primary ditch. The neighbor will let me build a basin on the fence line. This will pond water on his side. I am figuring a four foot high structure. What the 12 inch tile and standpipe won't take I will let go around the end as a emergency spillway. So, my thoughts are to peel away at one side of the ditch so I can get into it, clean it, and groove out a notch for the tile to sit in. Put the tile about 3.5 to 4 feet down. Then carefully backfill it. I will protect the end of the waterway too with another structure and inlet. There is some brush that needs to go too while I open it up. Filling this ditch allows me to seed it as a waterway and have access to a couple of additional acres in the corner of my farm. A neighbor with a dozer has built about 14 terraces for me ... so I have watched him alot. I just want to do it all with a dozer. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks. andy

Andy,

I put in 50 feet of 18" tile with my D6 when I built the road going into my house. I tilted the blade to max (manual blade!) and cut a ditch out for the tiles. I then took a chain and ran it through the tile and looped it over the blade and carried it to the ditch, lowered it into the ditch and then pushed the sections together as I put them in. All in all it went pretty good. The only real problem I had was pushing too hard on the tiles putting them together; they tended to rise up at the joint if you weren't careful. Hope this helps and good luck!

Tommy
