Field Drainage boiling up

Same issue myself this year.on heavy ground.got very hard not to mark the ground when travelling over a large drain in silage ground.is it just a case so much rain has fallen an it taking long time to soak

You'll never be finished tending to wet ground. I'll be draining some ground for the third time this year.

Mole plough when they weather is better could be a simple option

Is it hilly land , maybe there are springs in it. I drained 8 acres in 2021 and it turned out well except for one corner where there was a well that was filled in, there are springs there and it's still wet.

Ill have another go at it in June

Lads I've got a field that has a road draining off into it. There is a sheugh parallel to the road behind the fence where it goes into. Wouldn't be much or any of a flow in it and probably needs to be cleaned out.

Where the road water drains into the field there is an open sheugh that collects this water and brings it down the field to where it enters a covered drain of some type - it's bought ground so can't tell yet if it is piped or a stone drain down to the river. The water pools where the sheugh meets this covered drain. What I'd like to do is to cover the sheugh and pipe it fully down to the river.

My question is what is the best way to get the road water into a pipe with minimal silt or any other material that would block it. In an ideal world Road Service would install a gully with silt trap and give me the the piped outlet from it. However, I don't think they'd have the will to do this and would probably just cut a trench in the verge to run it into my land and alleviate the surface flooding during heavy rain.

As a minimum I'll have to clean out the sheugh and create some type of sump where it meets the closed drain.

Any thoughts?

That pipe will be sorted one way or another as part of the overall job.

I'm just looking for ways folk have got water from ditches into dragon periods without clicking them with silt.

Its relatively flat ground so there wouldn't be a great fall in it.

As an example, I had this fairly deep puddle on a minor road adjacent to a field. Got on to local Councillor and in turn council who installed a black JFC style pipe covered in pea gravel and a grill/sump to divert water into a field drain. Clean gravel and an outlet is very important and I'm not sure did they use teram to filter any silt.

Same scenario here. I'd like to get it piped from the road down to the river, doubt that will be granted. They is a big fuss about potholes up here at the minute.

Could possibly try them for gulley, they can only say no...

As an alternative you could put a manhole along your pipe every 200m, you could then run a jetter nozzle to clear.

Put 6 or 9 inch pipe at least if dealing with excessive iron.

Issues here with land drainage, iron ore and springs causing problems blocking pipes. Frequent rodding the solution?

Used to have to yearly rod drains with iron ochre. Be very carful if they are old drains pressure jetting can **** them up completely. Basically the jet can cut find gaps and cut through the soil and disappear off in another direction. If there are juctions in old drains the jet can just go through the pipe. New plastic drains would be fine.

If there is water nearby and not much flow on the drain then a hose on the end of the drain rods can help flush it all out a bit quicker.

btw don't be wearing your Sunday Best :-)
