My grandfather"s farm was tiled by hand in the early 1900s...two local guys made their living by digging trenches and installing foot-long clay tiles, about 4 inches in diameter. Generally trenched from the middle of a pothole, to an outlet in a lower area. In the 50s it was common to use trenchers, backhoes, excavators, etc. Later, concrete tile was used. In the 80s, we started using plastic perforated til, and when going thru sandy or silt areas, where dirt could seep thru the holes, a net mesh "sock" was installed around the tile. Typically, trenchers (on tracks) were used. Now tile is usually put in with a tile plow, with grade maintained by a laser system. "Intellislope" (google it) brand system lets you drive over the proposed route, and automatically controls grade on the return trip.
