Tile Drainage Equipment

Because they aren’t making any more land

If maximizing yields and reducing in-field variability caused by excess moisture makes sense to you, then you should consider tile drainage.

Imagine not having to farm around waterlogged areas or lose crops to flooding. That’s what tile drainage can do for you. It’s not just about higher yields – it’s about reclaiming those problem areas and getting consistent results year after year. Many farmers see their investment in tiling equipment pay off in just one wet season!

Why Tile Yourself?

Forget the frustration of finding contractors for smaller tile jobs.  What if you only want to target your problem areas? Own your tiling equipment and choose where and when to improve your land – it’s a great investment in your farm’s future. Owning your equipment puts you in control – tile when and where you need it, without relying on contractors.

Soil-Max Tile Plows. ADS Pipe. Training & Support.

We started tiling in 2010, and started selling plows the next year. We could have chosen any plow to sell. We felt then, as we still do today, that the Soil-Max Stealth ZD plow is the best ‘farmer-owned’ plow on the market. It is simple to use (we’ll set it up and teach you how to run it in a couple of hours), and places tiles as accurately as a contractor plow
