it would be impressive to see, but I’d like the little guys to get more than 2 passes on the 100 acres!  :lol:

So why is it pulled by two machines?

 

How much muck is it shifting?

 

Is it just to dig the sand into the soil to improve the drainage?

 

What is tiling or what are tiles?

 

How big is that field? We have nowt that big over here.

it’s actually corrugated and perforated drain tube

 

my guess is one machine doesn’t have the power or traction to pull the plow straight, but they both pull together well

 

The muck alone I imagine cannot be farmed.  It looks like they compacted about 18-24” of sand atop the muck, then they plow it under.  It adds a stable base and proper drainage, since the water table is so high.
