Stone drains,won’t they just block up?
The stone he’s using looks small and looks like it complete with dust.

To my mind that yoke is only as good as the ground its working on, a bit of a one trick pony.As you and others above have said , the quality of the stone used wouldn't be anything to write home about .
But , your comment on wont stone drains just block up , Why would they ?
Use enough of stone to get to the surface , and forget about pipe , would be quite common around here .
Certainly a better job than a pipe and half enough stone .
If that machine could be yoked up to laser guidance , it would be a great tool , in non stoney ground .
Any drains I’ve stoned up,basically low spots stoned up fully block up eventually,ground type?As you and others above have said , the quality of the stone used wouldn't be anything to write home about .

What happens when you hit a big lump of bog oak. Or a rock.
Was he a member on here?An acquaintance has a mounted R&M mounted gravel hopper mole plough , and reckons it a great tool .
Was he a member on here?
Had a Fendt tool carrier?
I doubt if he is a member .

So you covered over the stone with wrap?Was fed up with pipes blocking in a particular bog I had years ago. Filled new drains with 2 inch stone to within just under ploughing Depth and covered the drains with years of old Bale silage wrap before backfilling. That was nearly 10 years ago.. You wouldn't come out if with your wellies on before, it was that bad..
I'm not saying its going to be a success for everyone, I reckon the plastic will prevent soil getting down to block it up.. I've also heard of straw being used. As I said the pipes were always blocking with a red ooze I believe was called red ochre.. Was a nightmare so we decided to go all stone its perfect now anyway..So you covered over the stone with wrap?
Got to admit I’d like a pipe in the bottom then stone.
Something like this with a stone box behind.
Yea I'd agree with that..Never backfilled a shore here without putting a layer of hay or straw over the stone first. Keeps the soil from goin down from the top. Great job. Crushed stone is useless as it goes back together in time.
Very rarely use pipes other than main shores.
Any shoring we do in wet spots I would fill stone up to the surface in spots so the water will always soak. And we always put a pipe in. There is a fella hiring out one of those mole ploughs with a gravel hopper on it local enough. I never heard of putting straw or hay on top of the stones before backfilling, I will try it sometim
