How does it work? SD Drain® Tile receives elevation data from your RTK-GPS receiver and automatically outputs signals to the hydraulics controlling your tile plow. An optional slope sensor allows for extra input data. If your plow allows, SD Drain Tile can independently control the pitch and depth of your plow as opposed to flying your plow through the ground using pitch only control.
Survey The first thing you do in the field is survey the tile run by driving the tile path. As you survey, SD Drain Ditch will automatically capture elevation points to create a survey line. The survey line will be displayed on screen as you are driving the survey path. When the survey is completed, SD Drain Tile will automatically generate a plan for the tile run as you drop the plow in the hole. This plan will show the proposed tile line as well as minimum and maximum depth guides for the tile.
