Cougar has a big point here, hire a good contractor and be done with it. Not that easy to buy plow and go do it. Unless you have worked for a tile contractor for years, why risk getting it done right on your farm. Need a backhoe for starts, finding tile, backfilling, maybe a dozer if wet. Need a tile trailer to string tile, truck or tractor, a man to run it. Surveying time and equipment, all costs, not to forget your time, could be doing more in farming. These plow salesman tend to forget about that when selling them. The plows at farm shows I have seen, are way overrated on depth and power to pull. I know what a Hoes plow weighs and horsepower it has, tracks etc. Then farm plows, say they can do the same. Yea right. And then breakage, things happen. Fuel too. Unless you do it more than for yourself or start up a business, have it done by a good contractor.
