- Stihl 500i Chainsaw and the Kubota KX057-4 make short work of a massive beautiful white oak tree. I managed to buck logs to length and carry them to the yard to go on the sawmill

A Blessed Sunday Morning everyone.
Having Melissa there gives perspective to how big this log really is.
Amen.
Thanks for sharing with us Mike and Melissa. Got a lot of milling to do. You’ll have a bunch of good boards stacked before long. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
I spent all day using my 500i cutting 2” thick slabs outta rounds that were about 27” in diameter using an Alaskan Chainsaw mill and a 36” bar and chain... the best thing about the 500i in my opinion ... it starts on every pull ... so much better than my 661 magnum ... Mike, you make it look easy man ... love the content and the commentary ...

Every time I see you moving logs with the mini x I wonder why kubota doesn’t see a great opportunity to get some exposure with a log grapple for it. Keep up the great videos!!
Looking at upgrading my ms 391 to a 500i
What length of bar are you running
Great video
25”
If anybody ever questions again why you have the equipment you do, I hope their questions were answered today! 👍💪
Impressive lift capacity..Beast of a machine.. Can’t wait to see what the white oak looks like on the saw mill
you go Eva there's nothing better in life than a hard worker
As a head sawyer in a hardwood mill herd in Wisconsin, it killed me to see you cut all those "cookies " off the end after the first one
To late now LOL. Have a good day Morgan family
Got to get firewood from somewhere 😂.
Beast of a machine! You might want to get some anchor seal on those ends before they start checking. They are going to make some beautiful lumber.
I'm a go getter, I take my wife to work every morning and then in the evening I GO GETTER. Nice oak, I hope you get some nice lumber from it. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸
Great video as always. A busy place! Can you use rounds as stools around the campfire for your reception? After which they could be cut into firewood.
Those would make some nice tables, dressers, chests, etc..... Fairly solid coloring!
You couldn't even come close to wiping that beautiful smile off her face 👀 🤩🤩 Great job Mom & Dad 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
That is one nice long I bet that’s going to make some beautiful lumber can’t wait to see it
But what about that orange and white saw!?!
Beautiful. Boatbuilders would love to get ahold of that white oak. Lots of great uses, obviously, as it’s beautiful wood.
Eva driving that Jeep looked like Danica Patrick running at Daytona!! Good job "Girl"!!!
Mike with those really heavy loads sometimes you can actually rest them on your blade so if you hit a bump or if they are just super heavy you don't over tax or over pressure your hydraulics
that 500 is just a RIPPER!! thats enough to give any man some wood of his own!!
skilful/smooth machine operator, deliberately thoughtful, considerate of nature, social & respectful of family in a beautiful PA woods ... what else can one ask for, love Pacific North west, Montana & now PA woods
I wanted to know about the 500i. I was picking up some parts last week and found out my dealer has a couple in the back for regular customers that ask.
Enjoyed watching a man that knows what he is doing with a saw. Watching people see saw the bar. Is painful.
Beautiful hunks of white oak! Glad you got it out of the woods in good order. Looking forward to seeing these on the Woodmiser!
Once again, great camera work, it takes time. Loved the "waterfall" of chips coming off the 500i. Great camera angle.
Those are some nice saw logs!! You'll get some nice lumber from those 3.
Mike, I’ve always enjoyed your videos. And impressed by the time you put in making and editing them. But now the Melissa has started “ Firearms And Fashion Friday “ she is giving you a run for your money. Her editing skills have improved, and even incorporating drone footage. She come a long way from when she wasn’t sure if she wanted to appear in your videos when you first started, to being a TH-camr in her own right. And let’s not forget “ Saturday Night Live with the Morgans.
Nice when the logs debark themselves before they even get to the mill.. what a time saver!
nice lookin saw log...Kubota amazinng machine... thanks 4 video. be kind.
That is one valuable saw log. As a life long furniture/cabinetmaker I am salivating over that tree.
Love your channel.
Ihave a question ! about what size of wood do you look for when building cabinets And when you are looking at lumber what cuts do you prefer ? i have a mill and have been milling some oaks( pin oak) and black walnut and white oak plus silver maple
@@gerryrogue7710 only rarely do I look for a specific size of lumber. When I take a commission for as project I will figure out how many board ft I need to complete a project then I'll buy 30% more to allow for waste. Any unused lumber goes into my private stash. Certain frequently used lumber like poplar I will buy in quantity and keep in stock. I normally buy 300 to 500 board ft of poplar at a pop.
The only time I am concerned about size is if I get a commission to make a live edge table.
I always buy my lumber in the rough and face and plane it myself.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific in sizes.
@@GreggsWoodworking no you certainly answered some of my question as to sizes cause i figured people who know wood working also know and have the tools to make what they need as to make theyre profit margin even better I have been milling and making all shapes and sizes Just getting ready to mill out some poplar soon I have been slow drying it and learning alot especially how the density of woods dry (oaks ,maples ,walnut ) as-to poplar ,pine I have been wanting to make those epoxy tables and stands but dont want to limit myself to just that but thank you for answering what you could about the sizes I know with lumber prices these days Its going to get more expensive to make things and sell them
@@GreggsWoodworking may i ask what part of the country you are from?
@@gerryrogue7710 I am from the Phila. Pa. area but have lived in Louisville Ky. For the last 20+ years. I'm lucky here in Ky. We have a wealth of small saw mill operators most of which have kilns.
Where are you located?
Equipment is amazing nowadays, my T650 Bobcat absolutely blows me away at what it can lift, track machines are so stable, Great job Mike, congratulations on your Walk Away👍🏼🚜🪵🇱🇷
You should collect some more of those big rounds and then create a giant checkerboard. You have to use the excavator to move your pieces and you already demonstrated how to king someone.
lol
I love when the saw just "eats" it's way down !!
U noticed that too ! She Cuts !
That wet spot where the water comes out; now that you've got the excavator, you can dig a hole a few feet over from the trail, dig down to the shale, dig across the trail in the shale, crush and refill, and the broken shale should let it just drain under the rail.

Did we miss video 1094? We so enjoy your channel - much better than any soap opera or one of those “series” drama shows! We do not want to miss any episodes. Can’t wait to see what you and your family are up to next.
And thank you for introducing us to Hello Fresh. Every meal has been a delight.
No there is not a 1094 I think Mike accidentally skipped that number.
@@Dale.Nienow That is what we thought. Thanks for confirming our suspicions.
Great job, Mike, Melissa and Eva! You guys are really just a low key family that seems to handle life in big strides and positively! I enjoy the channel and like the content! All the best, thanks, Brian
Mike, holy cow man, that saw is a beast, that thing went thru that white oak like it was butter, tons of man glitter in a heartbeat. A good investment for sure.
I sent a Hudson hub cap to Hannah not Eva by mistake for the wall, knew it was one of the girls. Jay from State College.
Your saw is only as good as the sharpness of the chain.
@@iansmartel5473 so true....maybe even take the riders down. Did that on my chains when logging in the Pacific Northwest
I was about to go to bed then i saw those beautiful logs about to go to the mill….. and i was totally committed. Great channel. Way to represent western PA!
Awesome! Thank you!
I bought a Stihl MS 362 CM yesterday, 24 inch bar. It's a beast 💪😎
I sure like that excavator! It's a little on the pricey side, though. I might have to settle on getting a 500i instead. I'm retired and have 40 wooded acres. Just traded in my JD1025r on a new JD3046R. The projects that you inspire here sometimes require a little more tractor than what I had. I'm glad I have some place to go for information. That way, I won't have to make a bunch of mistakes before I learn the proper way to do things. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
The lift of the last log was very telling of how heavy the logs were. You could see the machine tilt downhill. What a fun day!
Good thing he had them cut down maybe they even lost a little liquid weight ! I had a standing dead red oak last year cut down and was hand splitting , got sprayed more than once ! Full of water !
Wow those are some nice white oak logs. Great video Mike. 👍👍👍❤️
What's beautiful tree. It will make some nice paneling for the new building.
Can't wait to see the lumber once sawn!
I'm a Case sales rep for construction equipment ( this the name Iron Man) and our CX80 is similar in size to the one that you have. So here's a suggestion when carrying heavy items like your logs. You might try resting the bottom of your bucket with the load in it on your dozer blade. It won't necessarily help your undercarriage but it will save wear and tear on your turntable and pins and bushings up the stick.
He will have a new one next year
That's one nice piece of equipment it saves you a ton of work nice logs to without a sawmill i would have got a lot of fire wood out of that tree
Great Sunday and a great video GOD BLESS 🙏
You’re great with your daughter. You get my “Good Dad”, pat on the back award.
70’s on 7! One of my fav stations!
I see an upgrade to the game room flooring to quarter sawn white oak. Those 3 logs, would make Nathan (Out of the Woods) jealous.
Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! 😊 👍
The Kubota brings all the logs to the yard...
Mike, sure am happy to see you use all your safety equipment. Stay safe my friend
Cutting up trees is so relaxing. I grew up in New York State , The village of Granville NY, we also had a 120 acres in argyle NY my Dad and I always had fun cutting fire wood and fence posts, great video.
When are you going to cut up the 'Park Bridge' logs?
Mike you really impressed me today besides listening to 70s on seven and you know when you’re moving around you need to have the finals in the back I’m a heavy equipment mechanic by trade and you would be amazed how many supposed operators have no clue what you were talking about
Can you imagine pulling those logs out with a team of mules! There was the time that was the only way!!
those mules used less fuel and wouldn't have cost mike anything to move those logs .also if he had a male and a female log puller occasionally you get a Free little log puller ,coulda called it lil kaboda
Beautiful log... can't wait to see it on the mill! (Pun added at no extra charge.)
You should get some pretty lumber out of that 👍
Picking up that heavy load reminded me of your video #645 at time between 14:30 and 14:60
Oooohhhie!! Just what we woodworkers love… slabs from a dead, rotting, hard-leaning tree.
I love watching you work with those machines, you work them like surgical instruments
I should get a debit card too. Eva is about 43 years ahead of me doing it. The Kubota did a fantastic job.
My husband’s mouth is watering!!! All he can see is awesome flooring and fabulous furniture!!!!
White oak is incredibly heavy wood for sure!
I cut a 12" chunk off a 24" log, & I was forced to hand split it on sight, because I could barely move it otherwise, & picking it up for transport, was out of the question. When younger, I stacked a pile of 25"X3' chunks of basswood, end over end, in the family hunting woods, that ended up going to waste, as no one ever took them.
At the wet spot in the trail you might dig around and find a water source. If you find the spring put a vertical tile and put a pump in it if you have power close enough.
Looks great there is a lot of cabinets my friend just great planks
Happy Christmas & all the very best wishes are sent for the new year..
Regards from Yorkshire.
I love the scent of cutting fresh oak,nice video Mike ever consider investing in a carbide chain on the 500i? Very pricey but with all the cutting you do might be worthwhile...
Mike, As meticulous and careful you are about all your projects I really enjoy all your "Doing" videos! I would really enjoy a video or two about your regular maintenance habits for all your equipment too. I know there is much I can learn from that! You and Buckin' Billy have given me the confidence to do my own small-time chainsawing now.Love the channel.
Mike has shown maintenance on his videos before. He is as meticulous on maintenance as he is on his stacking.
One of your best videos of all time. And I've been following several years.
I use to skid logs out of the woods with my pickup truck . It had a 10,000 pound winch in the bed. One snatch block was used if the 10,000 pound winch wouldn't move the log. That increases the pulling power to 20,000 pounds. If that didn't work add another snatch block. That increases the pulling power to 30,000 pounds. The winch in the bed was used to load logs onto a trailer also.
Mike - Thought sure you would go ahead and put the big log on the mill. Oh well, that's for another day. The excavator did a super job getting those big logs out of the woods. Blessings to you and your family. Hi to Melissa, Hunter, Hannah, and Eva.
Nice to See Nature at its BEST!!
Beautiful log thanks for the demo
Good morning everyone!!
Nice !!
Hope you drug the rest up for fire wood !! 😊👍👍👍🌎🌞
Put a 4 inch till in !
It's funny, sitting here watching you cut that white oak, I could smell it. I guess because I know what it smells like. I have seen in other videos of folks that have a sawmill that cutting through the bark on a tree helps to dull the blade faster. Have good days!!
Always a great day when you spend time in the woods
Mike
Why don't you put a few buckets of shale
In that mud hole by the spring..it would firm it up, and let it drain off..

Learn something every time I watch. I’m leaning towards the kx 57-5 or u55-5
GREAT JOB MIKE! U MADE MY SUNDAY MORNING 🌄!
DWIGHT. ARNOLD. I. USE. BIG. LETTERS. ALSO. AND. SOMEONE. SAID. I. WAS. YELLING --- HA HA HA
I enjoy all aspects of working with White Oak.
It's heavy and hard.
You just carried a few Grand's worth of premium lumber out of the woods with that mini excavator. Amazing 👍. That machine is going to pay for itself in no time at that rate 🙂.
it takes a couple of years for white oak to air dry. that machine is nice
I watch you guys when I can I am disable I did that kind of work most of my life I allways loved hard work. Thanks for shareing your work
The Kubota really shocked me to be perfectly honest 👌
Do you recall what the sticker price was on that model and does it use any other attachments by any chance?
Woodturners would love those rounds that you designated for firewood you could sell and make money from them.
I appreciate you showing us trying to pick up 2 rounds at a time - I would have wondered why not if you hadn’t shared that. Thank you! Sometimes I feel like I am in your pocket 😆. Marcus from Chesapeake VA. (Currently at Yellowstone)
impressive lift on that Kubota,
Thats my hydraulic log turner
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Need d rive belt for Kubota Z122r zero turn
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans ooooo
mmr in
I pop one on my blade and carry another with the bucket that holds the bucket one steady so you can move two at once
When grabbed excavator and said "these white oaks are HEAVY, HEAVY."
Reminded me when my nephew was little, 2 or 3 yrs. Old.
he would lift something and say
"Hevy... Hevy. It was so cute. Lol
Good thing you're in the excavator. Tractor tires would have given you trouble.
I was quoted $1326 for the 500i and it’s not even available at my dealer for the near future. A lot of people waiting for their saw.
Boy! …. can’t wait to see the lumber u get from that white oak log. What great lumber that will be
Getting some light rain here in Southern Indiana AND it’s staying just a little uncharacteristiclly cool here. Just can’t “shake” the cool breezy temps. ….. Eva, you are going to drive the boys nuts.
mike with that size of tree i bring out the 660 mag chain saw with a 4 foot bar
That fule injected saw is impressive noticed dust flying with the chips and no bogging, imagine how fast it would cut with a really sharp chain probably like hot butter.
Eva could make bank retrieving rounds from the woods, splitting into a set up bag. She could turn one per day until she gets tractor time. Then look out. Possibly give Mom a break if Hunter can help load on each end.
Greetings Mike/Melissa, wondering if your planing to do any work on the pond dam? Later
I remember a few years ago having to turn a few pin oaks into firewood. About the same size as your white oak. People who bought the firewood loved it. I split it into larger pieces to burn longer.
This seems to be the only way to movie logs easily.
great video mike I knew when your friend cut the tree it had good lumber in it
Love the way a chain saw sounds especially one of those "orange" ones lol "stihl"
Great watching!! Keep posting!!
