Definitely, it is the one piece of equipment that paid for itself in one year. Dad and I bought one in the early 90's and have ran one ever since. Put ditches in after planting in the spring and again in the fall after tillage and NH3 application. 75% of our ground is pattern tiled very well, but the ditching saves the extended ponding that causes thinner stands or delayed planting.
