I need to install 4" dia. slit corrugated tile in a wet area below a pond. The wet area covers about 1/2 acre or more. I will be using an E35 and have three buckets to choose from: 16", 24" trenching and 39" grading/ditching bucket. The soil is mostly saturated clay with some areas of top soil - all is covered with vegetation. The area can be driven over with the mini excavator for the most part without aid of the bucket and arm - it is wet year round with water some water coming from a seep or spring. The exact location of the seep or spring has not been determined - probably near the pond outlet pipe and possibly more than one source of water. I plan to start near the tile outlet and work my way uphill toward the wet area. I am planning to use the 24" trenching bucket and to trench about 3' deep. Any advise or comments on your experience with a similar drainage project will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
