A tile camera lets a farmer see inside drainage tile instead of digging to guess where it is broken. A push camera is the simplest tool for the job: a camera head on a stiff cable that you feed down the line from an outlet or access.
What a push camera finds in field tile
- Breaks, crushed sections and offset joints
- Roots, silt and rodent damage
- Collapsed or blocked tile
- Where tile changes direction, so you know where to dig
Why the Rausch MC 80 is popular for tile lines
The Rausch push camera line includes the MC 30, MC 50 and MC 80. The MC 80 is the most popular for field tile because its super stiff cable can truly push up to 400 feet, and it is the most budget friendly option for farmers. For crews that want a step up in reel, monitor and features, the Rausch Mobile Pro is the next level, at a different price point.
Locating the problem
Pair the camera with a locator so you can mark the exact spot on the surface where the camera head is sitting, then dig only where the problem is. That saves time, crop ground and excavation cost.
