Kingdom of Callaway - Fulton, Mo 65251 | Yesterday my middle son and I traveled to southern Iowa to a field day sponsored by Tom Moser in Garden Grove Iowa. He sells Soil Max tile plows and tile trailers. The Soil Max company sent a couple of guys that gave a very informative talk on tiling, RTK guidance, and related things. There was also a man from Timewell tile that went over the tile they sell. They had a little classroom set up in a tent, and it was very educational and worthwhile. They served a nice pork tenderloin lunch, and then we headed to the field to install some tile.
They demonstrated in a field that was originally tiled on 40 ft centers, and we were splitting the middles and installing three inch tile in between the existing tile lines. They showed us how they splice into a main, and we also spliced into a terrace outlet. They were using a full size plow that was on the three point of a 4 wheel drive tractor, and they also demonstrated their newer, smaller three point plow. They both worked really well. It was nice to ride in the tractor and watch the screen and the plow working together.
Tom was an excellent host, and he and his son are sure nice to talk to with questions about tiling. We learned a lot, and got to meet several real nice guys from Iowa and Missouri that are like us - wanting to see a plow running in the field before buying.
It was a day well spent. We even saw dinosaurs on the way home......
