Oh yes things have changed. My grandmother told me the story of her with her parents and siblings. Walking from New York to Desmoins Iowa. Behind a covered wagon with bare feet. I asked why she didn't ride on the wagon. She explained that the wagon was full of tools, wood stove and personal belongings. She said the seat would only fit two people. Her father had to drive the horses. She said they could switch out with their mother. However what self respecting child would ask their mother to walk. She also said the reason for no shoes. Was that shoes were very expensive and they could only afford one pair per year. They saved the shoes for school and church. Really makes you think how spoiled we are today. God bless
You probably dont care but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Joel Levi I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Joel Levi DAMN IT REALLY WORKED :O I literally hacked my ig account after roughly 45 mins by using the site. Just had to pay 15 bucks but definitely worth the money :O Thank you so much you saved my account !
Melissa is going to install the backhoe. Then dig a pool size hole. When Mike comes homes and sees it. Melissa will say I know what will fit in that hole. A swimming pool. Lol God bless
Cracks me up how Melissa dresses for whatever she's doing. Sowing seed= plaid shirt and a straw hat. Driving the tractor= overalls and a ball cap. Love it. She always dresses the part.
So happy this video came up in my TH-cam today! Our B2601 is being delivered this week or next week and I will probably be using it more than my husband since his job takes up a lot of his time(weekend warrior 🤣). Melissa made it look pretty easy.
Melissa is a real farm girl at heart. She's a real keeper Mike. Any lady that hops on a diesel tractor and gets after it especially in coveralls & good workbooks is the best kind.
Great job Melissa, first time I got my wife on my new zero turn mower first thing she asked me was where are the brakes, when I told it didn't have brakes she drove around for about 25 feet and she has never got on again. After Ten years on the zero turn mower I probably won't never be without one!
Good morning! Mikes dad taking a gun to school great story! Times sure have changed. Being about the age of Mike and Mellisa I think we have been blessed with the times we have grown up in. I just love this show in the morning. Have a great weekend! God Bless. ❤️🙏
Mike and Melissa I very much enjoy watching your video's and I do remember mowing yards as kid I'm 57 years old not and watching you two do bring back old memories
Yeah, the first time I tried, it only took me about 10 minutes, I had the manual out there going step by step LOL. Probably will never be taken off again.
Good morning Morgan's! Glad to see Melissa mowing and practicing on the tractor. My wife does most of the mowing, she only wanted a tractor style for years, until I bought a new zero turn to help occasionally, she tried it a few times and its now hers, we sold the tractor style! LOL We also have the conversations about when we were kids, and the things we did that would be frowned on in today's society. Say howdy to Hunter!
Daughter Eva is a real ray of sunshine. What a wonderful young lady. Teaching CrossFit for Kids and pitches in with family projects like painting, blowing leaves and trimming. She has that killer smile, just like her Mom. I'd like to see her cleaned up for Prom. She strikes me as a potential runway model although she will probably end up running her own company.
Love that Melissa throws a hint about the swimming pool. When I was a kid and coming of age, I learned how to drive in a 1947 Ford pickup. It was a beast and kept running. My brothers and sisters loaded it with enough firewood, that it lifted the front end off the ground. Some of us had to sit in the hood to hold it down, so my brother could steer. When you were old enough to drive a tractor, dad would take you out to the field and leave you all day as you did what was needed to be done. I also remember driving to school with guns in the rear window of your truck and leave them out there in your unlocked vehicle. Times sure have changed.
For me the weather is fine when I see a Melissa video, Eva and Hanna add Robins and Sparrows to the day. I remember those thankfully rare, times when Melissa put her self doubts forward not her shining spirit. I am glad to see her easier with her growing skills. Her preference for Mike being around as backup is a fine practical choice. She should get the practical rewards of her skills and work. Mike and Melissa delight as a fine working partnership. Their example of a quietly joyous life can displace less pleasant memories..
Melissa- I often think of the things I did as a young person, that I would be nervous letting my children do. Why is that? I think we as parents today realize what could go wrong and worry our kids will get hurt. I love how you brought this up! I also used a Gravely tractor with the handles as a small child! Learned the hard way not to lean against the exhaust wearing shorts! I still remember the burn!
I had a similar experience last week with my daughter. she told me that she would like to try a garden sometime so i made four raised beds in our small backyard showed her how to plant the first one and told her the rest was hers to plant . she is having a blast with them . just knowing she can grow plants is so satisfying to me .
Melissa,thanks for bringing me to tears remembering the laughing that went on with my Dad. Cherish every moment, they are so special Have fun mowing(Robin)
Just about spit out my coffee when Melissa was talking about the backhoe and digging a hole somewhere...lol. Can't waite for that pool digging ceremony video.
Love the story bout your dad, brought up on the old dairy farm had to make do with what we had. Changing old horse drawn equipment to tractor pull. This was late 40's thru 50's. Love watching all this new equipment.
Bill here from St John Parish, Louisiana. When we had our mobile home park in central Louisiana my cousin had a mid sized Kubota tractor. Any time we needed any tractor work I would hire him to do the job. ,My wife fell in love with it. He showed her how to operate it and she would just drive it around in the back pasture. He eventually showed her how to use the front in loader and box blade to spread and grade gravel on the road that lead to the back of the property. If I ever get s bigger tractor for our camp in Mississippi it will be a Kubota.
I also just introduced your channel to my 89 year old Father! Loves the woods and loves cutting firewood to this day! Keep up the fantastic work!!! Love it!
Love your channel. Our family watch your videos and love them. We decided a few months back to move from downtown Atlanta and bought 5 acres in North Georgia. Gonna be buying a lawn tractor soon. Wife liked this past episode with Melissa on tractor. Think that may have given her some confidence. Thanks again for your videos.
Really enjoyed stories about your dads and growing up. I started driving at the ripe age of 10. Had to sit on cushions to see over steering wheel. Boy times have changed.
Mike & Melissa I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Each time I see you doing the day to day chores on your property it brings back the memories of when I had my 80 acre place in the Ozark hills of Northwest Arkansas. I moved back to California to be closer to my 80 year old mom. I plan to take the knowledge that I glean from seeing your family working your estate and transfer those skills & practices to when I am able to move to eastern Tennessee once I can move back to the country.
Ahhh..... the memories! Yes, things are different now, aren't they? I remember painting houses with a friend when we were 14 years old. We bought a used ladder and carried it around the neighborhood with our brushes and buckets. We would be 30 feet up on a roofline painting away and not an adult in sight! 🛠️🛠️🛠️. Wow! That BX23 is a super machine. Mine is 16 years old with 1200 hours on it. They have made it so much easier to use! Plus, Melissa looks amazing on it!
Nice of Mike to let you drive your tractor Melissa. Did your notes mention moving the loader control all around after turning the tractor off to reduce pressure in the hydraulic lines before disconnecting them? Whoa, Hunter is magic, he can disappear!!!!
Great job Melissa, you and that tractor are going to make a great team. Enjoyed hearing about y'alls parents. I'm 68 and time was sure a lot simpler back then, but we do have some things today that make life easier for us. (Some things). Have a great day.
Wow Melissa, that was a slick operation. Kubota makes it easy to remove the F.E.L. Very user friendly. Mows great too. Nice little tractor. To small for Mike, so you need to get started digging your foundation for your new pool. You go girl.
The first time I ran and really used the BX I smiled, got one of the kids to run and use the tractor they smiled, another one ran and played on the tractor, they smiled. We understand why you are smiling. I have yet to mow because we are using the loader more and the mower would be in the way, 60" deck just to wide for where we go. By the way, my guy at the dealership told me to stay away from bio-diesel, just a thought. Got go and work with the tractor and get stuff done. From west central Illinois, tractor on
Yeah Melissa a Biigg... Thumbs Up You are a superior farm - Forman. Were all proud of you, as Mike just demonstrated... Love your fortitude. Hip Hip Hurrah. From the Archer Clan.
Last! Was out working early yesterday morning so I missed this video. Playing catch up before I head out this morning. Have a great Sunday all and be safe. Thanks Morgan's, another great video as always! Have a day!
You did a great job Melissa keep going you have done a great job at learning things. Mike is gre as t guy I hope some day I am able to meet you both.stay safe continue to give us that smile
I drove to school with a shotgun on one side of the console and a 30/30 rifle on other side. Duck/goose season and deer season were open at the same time. Imagine trying that now!! Every farm boy did the same thing, and while in school, we all had folding buck knives on our belt too!
Mike and Malyssa, You are so right. Train a child on how to do something then stand back and give them the responsibility. They will succeed when you trust them to do it. It makes what you told them how to do sink in well. Nothing succeeds like success. Love your channel John In Pensacoal
Nice job Melissa! Saying that you remind me of my Mom is a tribute to you. She worked right alongside my Dad and did whatever was asked. Their both gone now but the genes live in three sons. Be safe and stay well.
JOHN DEERE and KUBOTA Sub compacts are not great at any one thing! But the are very very good at many different things! Purchased my 1025R in 2015. It was a little pricey, but it has proven itself time and time again. From pulling stumps to moving rocks, weekly mowing, and spreading soil and stone. Which is better? Well that all depends on your individual needs. Great accomplishment Melissa. Have a great day! Looking forward to the Morgan’s coming up with new ideas on how to put the BX to work in ways I haven’t thought of yet!
Melissa made a great point about technology. Today, kids and teenagers have so many more distractions than what we had growing up. Being over 50, I find that I did things at a much earlier age than today's generation. I was in the tobacco field cropping tobacco at the age of 12 and always had a summer job that typically involved manual labor. I think too, that in today's world, it really depends on the teenager's level of maturity they exhibit and what they feel comfortable learning. For example, if I had a 15 year old (boy or girl) that wanted to learn to run a tractor, teach them safety and basics first, and let them prove that by doing before moving on to more complex tasks. Just an opinion of course. I think you both have done a great job with your children!
Looks like a lovely day folks. Thunder and lightning all day over here in Ireland. Kubota a very popular machine in Ireland. Good job Melissa, always rocking up to any challenge 👍
Happy to see the BX mowing. Slick system for removing the loader. Still not 100% convinced Kubota is for me but certainly a viable option. My dad was really slow to let me help on the farm. Not that he doubted my ability but from all the griping and complaining my older brothers gave him because they hated the farm. It wasn't until he had retired and sold the farm that he realized just how much I loved it and wanted to work with him on it. Oh well, ancient history. Great video! Hi Hunter! BK Saturday!
Great job Melissa, like a pro !!👍👍!! I really like to use a cheat sheet until I have directions embedded, and especially when you have so many things going on not to mention the aging thing. You all did a good job with sharing, Hunter did great too. Good to see Eva too. Keep up the good work and videos, we sure enjoy all that you do on here. Fred.
I have had the BX23S for a little over 2 years now and love it. Best thing I have added was the Kubota Deluxe Wheel Spinner 77700-01540. Makes it even more enjoyable to drive.
When my oldest daughter was in High School 25-30 years ago, most of the boys pickups had rifle racks and rifles in the back window. I worked with the Chapter 1 kids and would have my rifles in my Landcruiser and the Vice Principal and I would go shooting at a friends ranch after school.
Love the example of working together without being condescending! Grew up on a farm with Dad who didn't mind teaching his daughter to handle anything! 65 years old and still loving my Kubota T 2080- much easier than Farm all Cub we started learning on (side mower attached) keep on pushing!
Mike you guys had me cracking up, when you said dont let her steal your tractor! I love to mow grass as well, my wife recently started to mow on our farm. I told her just the other day, I appreciated her mowing but to save me some and not to steal my tractor! Hahaha
Great job Melissa! You are able to speak to an market segment that manufacturers find hard to reach. I'd say the value of the relationship to Kubota just went up. An episode using the loader might be popular.
When Melissa was telling her mowing story, I could hear Hunter, behind Mike, pacing back and forth. Lol I guess he was waiting on his mom to finish telling her story. Good afternoon Morgan's!!
Great video! I love my BX23S! Great idea to take the loader off on the concrete driveway. Speaking from experience don't take it off on an unlevel surface..you will work extremely hard to get it reconnected. Just start digging the hole for the pool Melissa...happy digging..
I have a couple Gravelys (4 wheel riders). They are some of the best tractors ever built. Heavy duty, last forever, and easy to work on. I love my RK24, but my Gravely 8123 will still hold it's own.
I really enjoy both your TH-cam channels, I am in my late 60's and not able to do some of the things I used to. I strung fence, cut and split wood, worked for a living in the oil industry. So now I like to watch someone else doing the work. I hope you don't mind, I sent some rawhide chews for your dogs, hope they enjoy them. BTW, I am in Texas.
Kudos to your parents. They prepared you for real life, which today is not that common. Based on what I see in the news today, a majority of the young folk could not survive on their own.
Mike, after reading through the comments, it looks like its time to seriously consider getting everything in place to get your (Melissa's) pool project underway. Look at the good side of it, you'll have the opportunity to buy all kinds of goodies for the new pool. Not to mention, one more reason to fire up the sawmill. HAVE A DAY!!
That machine amazes me, all the levers operate effortlessly, the hydraulic disconnect is convenient and a little stiff but still Melissa was able to perform the task while sitting down. My only thoughts are that the roll bar sticks up high and if you aren't mindful you could smack a low branch. I never paid much attention to overhangs until I started driving a 11'4" tall motorcoach.

Cracks me up how Melissa dresses for whatever she's doing. Sowing seed= plaid shirt and a straw hat. Driving the tractor= overalls and a ball cap. Love it. She always dresses the part.
So many choices for what a big hole in the ground can be used for.
So happy this video came up in my TH-cam today! Our B2601 is being delivered this week or next week and I will probably be using it more than my husband since his job takes up a lot of his time(weekend warrior 🤣). Melissa made it look pretty easy.
Wow the BX23 dose a Great job mowing what a clean Job!!👍👊
Mike & Melissa
I watch TH-cam every day and my favorite videos are yours. I can't wait for your videos. Keep up the taking. Thank you.
Melissa is a real farm girl at heart. She's a real keeper Mike. Any lady that hops on a diesel tractor and gets after it especially in coveralls & good workbooks is the best kind.
Good morning from Yukon. You all are still pups. I’m 68, will be 69 in January. Have a fantastic day on your happy little homestead . God Bless.
Great job Melissa, first time I got my wife on my new zero turn mower first thing she asked me was where are the brakes, when I told it didn't have brakes she drove around for about 25 feet and she has never got on again. After Ten years on the zero turn mower I probably won't never be without one!

Wow, in really impressed with how easy it is to remove that loader! Well done, Kubota, and Melissa!
im accully planing buying a brand new $8,000 kubota GL 11000 diesel generator
Yeah, the first time I tried, it only took me about 10 minutes, I had the manual out there going step by step LOL. Probably will never be taken off again.

Melissa you will have your pool soon , even if you dig it yourself . You are the complete package …. beauty , brains etc... Mike you are one lucky man
I had a similar experience last week with my daughter. she told me that she would like to try a garden sometime
so i made four raised beds in our small backyard showed her how to plant the first one and told her the rest was hers to plant . she is having a blast with them . just knowing she can grow plants is so satisfying to me .
Melissa,thanks for bringing me to tears remembering the laughing that went on with my Dad. Cherish every moment, they are so special Have fun mowing(Robin)
Great job Melissa.
I got my BX23S a week ago and I still haven’t removed the loader.
Nice memories of your dad’s, thanks for sharing.
I just placed an order today with my local dealer for a 60 inch MMM for my BX23s. Can't wait to get it installed and mow my grass.
Just about spit out my coffee when Melissa was talking about the backhoe and digging a hole somewhere...lol. Can't waite for that pool digging ceremony video.
Thank you Melissa for proving that anybody who can understand the programmes on a washing machine can handle plant.
Love the story bout your dad, brought up on the old dairy farm had to make do with what we had. Changing old horse drawn equipment to tractor pull. This was late 40's thru 50's. Love watching all this new equipment.

*Keep on tractoring!* 👍
Ahhh..... the memories! Yes, things are different now, aren't they? I remember painting houses with a friend when we were 14 years old.

Whoa, Hunter is magic, he can disappear!!!!
MIKE,......The quiz Kid.!
MELISSA, ..... THEE Perfect Student!
Together, yinz guys set the perfect example (on camera!) . Continued Blessings
Lot simpler to unhook than the old ones. Now you can start digging your pool. Hope you have a blessed day
Great job Melissa, you and that tractor are going to make a great team. Enjoyed hearing about y'alls parents. I'm 68 and time was sure a lot simpler back then, but we do have some things today that make life easier for us. (Some things). Have a great day.

Love to hear you talking about raising your kids. We have 5 "kids" and we parented together always!! Keep doing what you are doing! It is great!!
Yeah Melissa a Biigg... Thumbs Up You are a superior farm - Forman. Were all proud of you, as Mike just demonstrated... Love your fortitude. Hip Hip Hurrah. From the Archer Clan.
Melissa, you are so adorable and such a good sport! I love how you and Mike are together. Love your channel!
Melissa is a go getter! She works very hard!
Last! Was out working early yesterday morning so I missed this video. Playing catch up before I head out this morning. Have a great Sunday all and be safe. Thanks Morgan's, another great video as always! Have a day!
You did a great job Melissa keep going you have done a great job at learning things. Mike is gre as t guy I hope some day I am able to meet you both.stay safe continue to give us that smile
Good job Melissa you make it look so easy.

That mower does one heck of a job , or maybe it’s the operator lol. Family memories are the best! Loved the video.

Melissa is doing very well learning new tricks. It will soon be Mike’s turn to run the house chores.
I started mowing with a gravely when I was 8. Definitely brings back memories. Your BX and my 1025R are some serious upgrades!
God Bless All the Morgans!!
Hello Morgan’s! I love how Melissa is always smiling! Every single video. 😊

Looks like a lovely day folks. Thunder and lightning all day over here in Ireland. Kubota a very popular machine in Ireland. Good job Melissa, always rocking up to any challenge 👍
Mike!!! At 5:00: "Now back up and you're ready to mount!!" Luv It!!
i hate to spoil the fun.... but he said "mow" not "mount"
Your right Mike your wife is amazing and and she has a strong heart God Bless
Happy to see the BX mowing. Slick system for removing the loader. Still not 100% convinced Kubota is for me but certainly a viable option.
My dad was really slow to let me help on the farm. Not that he doubted my ability but from all the griping and complaining my older brothers gave him because they hated the farm. It wasn't until he had retired and sold the farm that he realized just how much I loved it and wanted to work with him on it. Oh well, ancient history.
Great video! Hi Hunter! BK Saturday!
You go Girl! Great job Melissa!
Great job Melissa, like a pro !!👍👍!! I really like to use a cheat sheet until I have directions embedded, and especially when you have so many things going on not to mention the aging thing. You all did a good job with sharing, Hunter did great too. Good to see Eva too. Keep up the good work and videos, we sure enjoy all that you do on here. Fred.
Très belle vidéo
Très beau tracteur et très bien équipé, le système d'attache rapide de la fourche est très bien.
Super vidéo
Merci
Great idea, from Thomas Desmond. Below, use the backhoe to demonstrate & and surprise ,Mike with your ingenuity for the cement pond....Yahoo!!!
Excellent video. Way to go Melissa! Proud of you!
I have had the BX23S for a little over 2 years now and love it. Best thing I have added was the Kubota Deluxe Wheel Spinner 77700-01540. Makes it even more enjoyable to drive.
Do you remember the gun racks in the back windows of pick ups?
I think people now say What is that rack for in the old pickup?
Still have the gun racks and guns in them in Wisconsin
When my oldest daughter was in High School 25-30 years ago, most of the boys pickups had rifle racks and rifles in the back window. I worked with the Chapter 1 kids and would have my rifles in my Landcruiser and the Vice Principal and I would go shooting at a friends ranch after school.
Good morning Morgans!! Loving the Kubota's and all of YOU!!
I really like the way the hydraulic lines disconnect for the the loader. John Deere could learn from Kubota in that area. Hope you enjoy your tractor.
Nice little Kubota, so handy for the small jobs around the property, and of course, a good operator too! Nice job, Melissa.
You youngsters have a good day, I just turned 73.
Love the example of working together without being condescending! Grew up on a farm with Dad who didn't mind teaching his daughter to handle anything! 65 years old and still loving my Kubota T 2080- much easier than Farm all Cub we started learning on (side mower attached) keep on pushing!
Looked like Hunter teleported there. LOL
I tell yah. Tractor manufacturers have come a long way in user friendly designs.
Have a day!
Mike you guys had me cracking up, when you said dont let her steal your tractor! I love to mow grass as well, my wife recently started to mow on our farm. I told her just the other day, I appreciated her mowing but to save me some and not to steal my tractor! Hahaha
Hi I'm jessie and i love the great content you'll show , i watch every chance i get , God bless you'll.
Glad to see Melissa running her own tractor. Pool will be there soon.
Not with the baby kabota.
The cut with the BX23S looks as good as the zero turn.
At almost $24,000 it better be good !
Great job Melissa! You are able to speak to an market segment that manufacturers find hard to reach. I'd say the value of the relationship to Kubota just went up. An episode using the loader might be popular.
When Melissa was telling her mowing story, I could hear Hunter, behind Mike, pacing back and forth. Lol I guess he was waiting on his mom to finish telling her story.
Good afternoon Morgan's!!
MELISA can do everything and look yummy doing it SHE needs a POOL ,MIKE
Kenneth,
Agree with the Yummy but not the Pool.
Kenny you just want to see Melissa at pool side.
....and a new kitchen with a double oven
Great video! I love my BX23S! Great idea to take the loader off on the concrete driveway. Speaking from experience don't take it off on an unlevel surface..you will work extremely hard to get it reconnected. Just start digging the hole for the pool Melissa...happy digging..
I have a couple Gravelys (4 wheel riders). They are some of the best tractors ever built. Heavy duty, last forever, and easy to work on. I love my RK24, but my Gravely 8123 will still hold it's own.
I bought mine 16 years ago. It still runs good 1200 plus hours later. Kubota
That's a super functional little tractor!
I really enjoy both your TH-cam channels, I am in my late 60's and not able to do some of the things I used to. I strung fence, cut and split wood, worked for a living in the oil industry. So now I like to watch someone else doing the work. I hope you don't mind, I sent some rawhide chews for your dogs, hope they enjoy them. BTW, I am in Texas.
Kudos to your parents. They prepared you for real life, which today is not that common. Based on what I see in the news today, a majority of the young folk could not survive on their own.
Good video, good people, thank you!
Nice job Melissa, now it's Mike's turn to demonstrate how easy it is to remove the loader on the MX5400.
Got to love a woman that loves to run power equipment you have a keeper mike good job girl enjoy
Wow!! Hunter just pooffffed into thin air 🤔 great job Melissa 👸🏼👍🤠
haha
Good morning everyone hay Hunter.
I wish my loader came off that easy.
😊👍💝🌹💥🌎🍵☕
I grew up with a Gravely, 3 attachments, awesome machine, an x brother n law got it. Miss that machine.
Great video as usual. Thanks for the birthday wish .you guys are awesome.
Mike, after reading through the comments, it looks like its time to seriously consider getting everything in place to get your (Melissa's) pool project underway. Look at the good side of it, you'll have the opportunity to buy all kinds of goodies for the new pool. Not to mention, one more reason to fire up the sawmill. HAVE A DAY!!
That machine amazes me, all the levers operate effortlessly, the hydraulic disconnect is convenient and a little stiff but still Melissa was able to perform the task while sitting down. My only thoughts are that the roll bar sticks up high and if you aren't mindful you could smack a low branch. I never paid much attention to overhangs until I started driving a 11'4" tall motorcoach.
Speaking of that I saw a tractor trailer the other day stuck under a underpass, refrigerated unit was smashed halfway back the trailer
