A tile plow would never work in our soil. Around here a chain or wheel trencher would be the most common installation tool, but an excavator works the best. The only thing about excavators is they require a man in the trench to lay the tile.
Our soil is variable with lots of rocks and veins of gravel. The ground water likes to follow these veins of gravel up to the surface, creating a wet spot. You need to dig down to the gravel vein and lay the tile right in it to divert the water away.
The rocks stop a tile plow in its tracks. Trenchers fare a bit better, but lay the tile at a fixed depth and can't follow the gravel veins to the spring. With an excavator, when you strike water you can follow the spring right to its source and cut it off, as long as you have an inch of fall in 100'. One time we buried a tile about 9' deep, and the vein was still going deeper but the operator made us quit for fear of a cave-in.
