There are a lot of variables involved in tile installation. Installed tile needs to be at a grade (fall) for water to promptly exit the system. Grade has to be consistent and that is near impossible to do with a backhoe in a situation where the tile is near to flat. Tile should be 30" or deeper to minimize risk of crushing plus in northern regions so as not to freeze up. Soil type dictates distance between lines for effectiveness. Clay soils need spacings of 50 feet or less apart unless the field itself is sloped 8 to 10 percent. Sandy soil will allow for greater distances apart. You need to check with FSA for wetlands or conservation issues especially if you have not owned the ground in question for long. The field should be surveyed with a transit to determine grades. Staking with string levels or lasers work well to assure the proper depth of the machine doing the installation work. Trenches have an advantage if old tile is suspected of being in the field.
