2. Self-propelled (trenching/plow) Pull type Types of Tiling Machines

3. Tile is put on a reel Tile is feed thru the puller (if equipped) How A Self-Propelled Tiling Machine Works

4. Tiling machine is engaged and begins driving backwards, pulling the plow Tile is then forced thru the power feeder to the chute Tile goes down the chute and into the ground

5. After tile has been placed, soil is backfilled over the tile in the ground Laterals and mains are laid individually, and are later tied together with an excavator

6. All tiling machines traveling directions are run off of GPS (specifically RTK) Height of tile, slope of tile, and direction of machine are operated off laser or GPS GPS Driven

7. Tiling machine install 120-140 ft/min Roughly 25,000-35,000 feet per day Longer the tracks, the better (traction wise, not all about horsepower) Cuts anywhere from 3 to 7.5 ft deep Costs range from $400-$500, depending on soil type and location Capabilities
