I remember when I was a kid we moved onto an old farm in Indiana - had a pasture pretty full of them. Dad had a ford 900 ( very nice / 961 I think - dual stage clutch for PTO) anyway - he also had a heavy duty bush hog and backed over a bunch of them - had flats for 2 years after that! Also know...

Might as well rebuild them both. I remember going to the local NH dealer and buying a kit for 1 lift cylinder. The parts guy told me “I got one more kit - you want it? Your gonna need it!” I didn’t buy it but in about 6 months I needed it for the other cylinder!

Sorry for all the misspellings - fingers to big for phone!

It’s hard to capture grade in a photo - the PO of this place had dug a hole about 2 or 3 foot deep by maybe 20 (more or less - kidney shaped) IDK if he was making a berm to shot or was trying to make a pond or what - maybe just trying to make a dry retention pond thing - put it is actually at...

Overall the property has about 4 foot drop across a 600 ft run which ends in a wide ditch/cannel - I had planned to only tile about 150 foot and then let daylight it and let run the rest above ground - I missed that where I had planned to daylight was a relatively flat spot - about 100 so I...

MF243 - that’s looks like that might be pretty good soil? Also looks like it a pretty good sized patch. What you gonna plant?

Messed that reply up - was explaining that I’ve been saying degrees slope when I meant percent! Wasn’t following the 10” per 100 ft = .5 degree. I’m only going to have about 6 inches drop on a 100ft run, so half a percent

Dodge Man - yea, trying to think through that. For sure if we get 3 inches or more an hour - want that to have a clear path and then the perforated drain can clean up- that’s what I’m thinking

I’d like to have it all 18 inches buried in the ground - but will most likely have mounds over the pipes because I don’t have enough fall

I’m going to lay lay some catch basins in the low spots and have those run out threw solid pipe. Beside that I plan to lay some perforated pipe to gather up and drain the slop that is left over

Hi - I’m trying to lay a bit of field tile - the 4 inch junk that Homedepot and Lowes sells. Also I’m putting some catch basins and running them into schedule 40 (4 inch) . I’ve watched it rain out here a couple years and have a basic idea of run off / grade. I’ve also checked it using 100 ‘ of...

I found their Facebook page and number. Thanks for the info. And good luck with the liquid lime. I’ll be courious to hear how it works out. Especially what it does to compaction / soil health.

I think I tried Mayo - in Williston? Not Helena. Thanks for the reply

Lineman - I'm on the south east corner of Alachua and have been searching for Ag Lime. I've called about every quarry around and can't find a supply. Do you have a source for bulk Ag Lime? (Sorry for the high jack)
