Re: land draining
Great to see your pictures, David !
Many years ago, I did a lot of land draining with an Allen drainer almost identical to this one photographed recently at S.E.Davis. In those days we used clay pipes or tiles, which had to be manually put in the 'chute' at the rear of the machine.
I remember spending many hour unloading and loading the clay tiles (3 inch bore) by hand, throwing them in pairs to a mate...

Hi Pete, No that's fine, would you be able to put a link here to the Fordson site as well ?
Re: land draining
Draining machines have not moved on that much, the idea is still the same.
Nice to see the old drainer.

Re: land draining
Most of my work especially this year involves land drain maintance and repair, the farm i'm working at this week has a seam of peat running through and in one pasture i have been jetting and renewing drains, amazingly there are 3 main's, one 12" and two 6" and all running near to capacity and the laterals are 6" and 7-8 foot deep most of the laterals are running between 1/4 and 3/4 and the main's are struggleing to cope, no water flows into the 10 acre field yet a stream flows out, an astonishing amount of water for such a small area.
Using my 7t CAT on 600mm steel pads and it's struggleing to stay on the top and this is during a dry spell
