Why Tile with Soil-Max ? ® The reasons to tile are numerous – but ultimately it comes down to increasing your yield and maximizing profit. Soil-Max® makes tiling incredibly affordable and a one-time, up-front investment in a tile machine typically can be recouped within the first year. Plus, it will produce ripple-effect benefits for years to come. What’s more, the primary cost associated with installation is typically the contractor’s labor. And, the Gold Digger® tile plow attaches to any 200 horsepower tractor, eliminating the need to purchase additional equipment. Bottom line: a...

are installed below the soil surface just under the root zone. These subsurface drainage networks then open to a nearby ditch or stream. Because each field is unique, design and installation of a drainage system requires careful research and planning. Drainage depends on topography, types of crops, and soil variety. Collectively, these factors determine the drainage depth and spacing needed for optimal land improvement. The most common type of tile is corrugated plastic tubing that has tiny holes to facilitate water entry. When the water table of the soil is higher than the tile, water...

Just drop the pin, hook up a single set of hydraulics and one implement cable Pull-Type Advantages Nitro Rod cylinders last 3 times longer than chrome Replaceable shears allow plow to be as wide as needed Needs a minimum of a 20,000 lb tractor Tiles up to 6 1/2 feet deep Lay 3” - 10” tile at your convenience with easy change boots Poly sides shed dirt and pulls easier Narrow width design pulls easier Proportional valves make it Intellislope® ready Innovative Balancing System Makes it Easy The best way to control grade is with the pitch of the shanks. The only problem with this, however, is...

3-point Soil-Max Gold Digger Stealth ZD ® AVailable in Cat III or Cat IV the 3 Point Stealth ZD® Gold Digger® Features Constructed of T1 Steel to be lighter and stronger Replaceable shears allow plow to be as wide as needed Needs a minimum of a 20,000 lb tractor Tiles up to 5 1/2 feet Deep Lay 3"-10” tile at your convenience with easy change boots Poly sides shed dirt and pulls easier Narrow width design pulls easier Proportional valve make it Intellislope® ready

ALL NEW CAT II/CAT III NARROW 3 Point Stealth ZD® The Soil-Max® 3-Point Gold Digger® is much different than other tractorbased drainage plows. For starters, it offers flexibility of being able to be pulled by a large utility class tractor. Simply put, this plow is the easiest pulling plow ever. The Gold Digger® flies through the soil much like an airplane — allowing your tractor to be completely independent of the plow. It does this by using a total pitch plow concept. Plus, it’s very easy to back into starts. Bottom line: when you pair it with the Ag Leader® Intellislope® system the...

Replaceable front shear cuts our perfect bottom to support major tiles sizes Gold Diggers® perfectly support the tile on the sides and bottom for long tile life and no erosion below the tile Specifications call for tile support here, 1/3 of tile diameter from the bottom of the tile. Competitor's V-bottom shoe causes erosion here. The Gold Digger's® shoe does not make a “V”. Meets ASTM F449-02 tile support specifications Front shears and boot sides can be switched to support different tile sizes Square Tile Boot Minimizes Friction with Poly Insert While some tile plows force round tile...

Flexible Feeding An 11' 6" tabletop diameter with disk brake turntable makes feeding tile a breeze. A 12" diameter stringer manages the flow of any size tile. oil-Max stringer carts simplify tile spool transport and feeding – so you spend less time in transport and setup and more time tiling. ® Simplified Transport – In and Out of the Field 8-ply high flotation tires (measurement needed for 12.5 - 15) reduce soil compaction and make transport easy. LED brake lights, height-adjusting hitch and legal highway transport width makes it easy to go from field to shed. Hydraulic Disc Brake...

Intalling Tile the Easy Way Water management is an important part of maximizing yield. Properly tiled fields help extend planting windows, promote better root development, reduce field compaction, increase nutrient accessibility and improve consistency of crop emergence. The Intellislope® tile plow control system eliminates the need for complicated laser surveying equipment and makes installing tile easy. If you can drive a tractor, you can install drainage tile with Intellislope®. Intellislope® Benefits ► Increase field operation windows and reduce field compaction. ► Reduce yield-robbing...

Can be done ahead of time with an ATV, or at the time of installation with the tile plow utilizing RTK GPS. Collect surveys by driving over the path where tile needs to be placed to collect the surface elevation. Enter the desired minimum/maximum target depths, as well as the minimum grade to drain excess water from the field. This can be done in the field or with the SMS™ Advanced Water Management Module. Install Use the plan you created to install tile using AutoTile® to adjust the depth of the plow automatically. You can also use Grade control or Pitch control modes as needed. Millions...

SMS water management system ™ Eliminating Guesswork SMS™ Water Management Module allows you to strategically design field tile plans based on precise supporting RTK topography layers. Once the tile plan is designed, SMS™ will validate plans to ensure the desired drainage level is achievable. Importing survey and installed tile data from the Ag Leader® InCommand™ display to SMS™ Software provides a seamless way to manage and track improvements in crop yield where tile has been installed. Water Management Module Benefits Use the Tile Plan Editor features to create ideal field tiling plans...
