| “I am really impressed with the amount of tile footage we can install in a days time. I also like after you make a survey run you can push the max depth button and pull the max depth line up to the deepest point of your survey and see exactly how deep you will have to go to get through a high spot.” |

| “We love our Intellislope. Never tiled with a laser before and never want to now. We have put in about 60 acres or so. “ |

| "It is really a time saver to check grade, and very easy to set slope. Really like being able to see where you are at on the screen, be able to break grade with just spin of the dial. Really happy with it so far." |

| "Until using the Intellislope for a day and half, I didn't know tiling could be so easy." |

| "I am a contractor/farmer who installs about 300,000 feet of tile per year. With Intellislope I expect to install an additional 100,000 feet per year. It's like having another employee without having to pay one. I no longer spend time moving and changing a laser. Installing long runs with a wide variance in slopes is no different than short runs with uniform slope. With the Auto-Tile feature I know that I am installing tile at the most uniform depth possible, my most important goal. Intellislope makes tiling easy and fun." |

| “We got our Gold Digger about 14 months ago, and in that time we’ve put in about 35 miles of tile on our farm just using it part-time when we weren’t busy. The plow has worked great…no problems, and we love the Intellislope system. It makes tiling simple, easy, and accurate. After looking at old maps where tile was laid over the last few years, it’s great having the tile we’re putting in GPS marked so we can find it again if necessary. On our farm, we’re always trying to find jobs that pay us $100 an hour or more. The more of those we do, the more profitable we are, and using the Gold Digger is a job that is probably paying us $300 to $500 an hour. I’m sure glad we got one!” |

"We had our first chance to run the Intellislope this fall. We were admittedly fairly inexperienced in laying tile. The conditions couldn’t have been much worse for a couple of beginners. It was cold and windy, and the frost was dropping fast, 4 to 6 inches deep. We ran our calibration runs and then started out. I was amazed at how simple the Intellislope was to run. As we were just starting, I chose a field with plenty of slope, about 2.5-3%. The tile plow held grade really well. It was so much nicer and easier to run the surveys from inside my warm tractor cab than trying to fight with a laser in the cold and wind. Also, the tile runs were fairly long and would have required 2 to 3 grade breaks and resets with a laser. I simply surveyed the runs with the intellislope, set my parameters and plowed in the tile. It worked great. Like I said earlier, the conditions were not very good, yet we installed nearly 7,000 feet of tile in our first day. Unfortunately the weather just kept getting colder, so we decided to wait till spring to continue tiling. I’m excited to run it without having to deal with the frost.
We did have some reservations about jumping into doing our own tiling, but the intellislope really made it simple."

"...being brought up somewhat old school, it took some time to put faith in the Intellislope and GPS. Once I became comfortable with it, it became very simple. This system is much faster and more efficient than any other system out there. With the Intellislope control you don’t have to change laser plans. The difference in grade doesn’t matter. Some tile I have put in had over 10’ of rise in 1200 ft. With Intellislope, there’s no laser mast to deal with. I recently tiled 115 acres with alot of draws. The field had 14 outlets. I was able to work out all the draws, non-stop, not having to change laser plans or move the laser head.
The fall of 2008 was our first year with Intellislope and Gold Digger plow. We have installed 430,000 feet of tile. It has been a very enjoyable addition to our farming operation. We are looking forward to installing many more feet of tile with our Intellislope control and Gold Digger plow."

"I work at a case ih dealership and had a customer that bought a tile plow and Intellislope. I sold him a rtk base station and receiver. WOW what a well thought out system... Cool that you can map a path then see it all right on the screen. We went to the field to calibrate everything and do a few "dry runs" I was totally impressed with the ease of the Intellislope monitor and gold digger tile plow. With-in 2 hours we were up and ready to lay tile.
The key to the system is the slope sensor, it levels itself before you start driving that way the tile don't have a hump or valley in it. What a neat system. "
