Mike I have a home on top of a mountain in Pennsylvania! And you never seen so much water! The water table is very high it's crazy and clay! God Bless America! Love the Hats I'll get one soon
Mike and Melissa my hat has been ordered ! Thank you
Just gotta say how glamorous Eva is loooking these days. She's like her mother in a lot of ways - smart, great sense of humour and good looking. Melissa is a brilliant wife to Mike !! God's richest blessings to the entire Morgan family and keep those videos coming, Mike !!
Teach your young people how to shoot a gun ! Because America is flooded with criminals from around the world! Wake up America
Good Sunday morning, Morgan's and friends!!
Thank you for the video, Mike!! Mike, you do you !!! It's your property and equipment . Keep doing as you see fit. Love the content!!😮
Some people are a half a bubble of plum, so that's how they see things in there world. Can't fix stupid, you're doing good Mike do your thing we like it
LOL My dad used to say HALF A SANDWICH SHORT OF A FULL PICKNIC LUNCH.
@@jimputnam2044
2 bricks shy of a full load.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Card short of a full deck?
Morgan's not the sharpest spoon in the drawer.
Not the brightest bulb
Good Morning everyone from Pensacola! When you get into social media you truly see the ignorance
in our world. Mike, the majority of us understand the concept of pond maintenance.
I lived in P'cola for 10 years. great area. I love that city
Mike, just do what you want to do it's your land...😊😊😊😊
Agreed! Mike have you already created a sediment trap on the upside of your corduroy road? Would it make sense to leave it (the road) so you can clean out the sediment again. You’re right, there’s always maintenance issues and you’re the one that’s doing it on your land. And best of all, you get to enjoy it! Opps, I’m too late. The road has started to go!
IT sounds like there are a group of individuals who think they know much more than they really do. You are there doing the task and can see what you are moving and can see where you are in depth and width you want. You are a multi talented individual who has a lot of knowledge in many things. I appreciate you sharing this with us. Love the videos you share. Keep them coming.
Mike you can never please everyone. Then there are people that nothing pleases them. For the one that said you're wasting your time. This is a sanctuary for the animals. With all of the development happening around Mike's area where are the wildlife supposed to go? The Morgan's enjoy the wildlife. This provides a place for them to live, raise there offspring. This pond has fish in it, providing water to the wildlife, helps stop flooding and washouts. So let Mike do what makes Mike happy and mind your business. Mike chooses to share what he does with us. Remember he doesn't have to. Carry on Morgan family. I like the channel content.
Eva definitely has her mothers smile😅
A Great job on your pond! All of the fish are enjoying all the natural bait moving…especially the crayfish, with your sediment cleaning. The new hats, look very awesome!
GOOOOOOD SUNDAY MAAAWNIN EVERYONE from a fantastic (very cool) morning here in VaBch….Ponds coming along great Mike! Great seeing Eva, Levi & Melissa…if I get up
There soon, I’ll be reaching out to Levi to buy some of his trees & bring back to VaBch.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a day!!
HELLOOOO HUNTER 😊
@@Shippusher Hi Jack? 😊
@@davidmorse8432 hello David !!😁
Hi Jack!
@@johnsadler8637 good morning John!!
I am one of your followers who think you should, in some way, use the pond muck as fertile soil someplace. Even with the small rocks in the dried muck, you could use that valuable soil to grow something.
Nope .
Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Fantastic and Blessed Day 🤠
Mike it was good to see Melissa, Eva, and Levi. You’re doing a great job on the pond. Love all that lumber that you sawed. That’s a neat lumber mill. Take care and have a good one 😊👍❤️
I’ve been around the sun 78 times so far and it always amazes me just how much advice I’ve received on how I should live my life and do things differently. Yes, I’ve taken some of that advice and I am grateful I did. On the other hand, I ignored most of the advice and simply smiled and said thank you. Mike, you have good head on your shoulders, you definitely have it together, my friend. Keep doing what you do.
Glad to see the pond is almost done and I have to say you guys have the best kids always helping and smiles all the time 😊
I’m literally doing the same type of pond clean out at my property. Did end up getting my KX040-4 stuck in a soupy section as my four bolted together railroad tie mud mats just couldn’t sustain the movement on that one soupy section and I started sinking. Took me a day to get it unstuck and about 15 10”ish diameter 15’to 20’ logs that I had to hand drag under the tracks as I seesawed the tracks up and down using the dipper to lift them. Once I got it out, the section my excavator was on and sunk in was about 40” deep to clay. The next day took me about 6 hours of hard work using a yarding clamp and chains to pull the 15 logs and 4 mud mats out of the muck. I just dumped them into the section that still had water and let them soak for a day to keep the mud on them soft. Then I came back the next day with my trash pump, 2” lay flat hose, and my firefighting nozzle on the end, used the excavator to pick one out at a time, and easily sprayed the mud off the excavator and mud covered logs with the high volume of water that my trash pump puts out. For reference I can spray about a 2” stream of water about 70’. So the high volume of water does an excellent job of clearing the tracks and the pond water that I was using just ran right back down into the pond. I’m gonna get about 4 used 8’x14’ structural laminated mud mats off Facebook marketplace for a $100 each and cut them down to 6’x12’ to keep them under the maximum weight I can lift and try again. They should do a lot better than the 8’ wide railroad tie mud mats I have.
Thanks for the videos. I've been watching your channel for a while and just feel a sense of home when I do. I grew up in West Middlesex, Pa but have not spent much time back home in the last 35 years. We are nearly the same age, I graduated high school in 1985 (you might remember the tornados of 1985, that was our graduation night, so the ceremony was cut short). Anyway, I joined the navy in 1990 and ended up spending 28yrs. We currently live down in Florida, but thinking of moving back north somewhere where it isn't so hot, I haven't lived in a place with real seasons in a very long time. After training, I spend my 1st 10 years in the navy in Groton, CT (Yes, I'm a bubblehead/submariner), then moved all over the place - San Diego, Guam, Hawaii, Virginia.
I have a few acres in West Virginia (90) in Gilmer and Braxton Counties adjacent to my great grand parents' and grand parents' property. It is way back off the beaten trail and would take considerable work to be able to access it regularly, but i've been thinking about building something down there. Don't know if I'm willing to put in the work :(
Anyway, thanks for the videos in both PA and WV.
Pond is looking good. You have a beautiful family my friend. Great to see all you guys working together. Thanks for sharing.
Recently looked at a property with a spring fed pond (headwaters for a creek), can confirm, that one stays clean with no maintenance. Also can confirm, a spring fed pond in some areas do need maintenance, grew up on a spring fed pond. That one filled itself in about 70% in 38 years (fairly large around 15 acre pond). So, some n=1 data to support your idea that they're all different and some spring fed ones don't need clean out
Good looking hats. Glad to see Eva growing and doing so well. God bless your family brother.
Good Morning Morgan’s!! Have a day!
Good morning to Hunter 👋👋😸 and family and friends , Happy Sunday everyone 🙏🙏😸
Good morning my friend. Hope your day is great and blessed. 🙏 ❤

Hey guys!
Good morning everyone!!
We are on the Cumberland Plateau, about 15 miles Northeast of Soddy Daisy Tennessee. Flat Top Mountain is part of Walden's Ridge. Elevation about 2200 feet. My wife's family have been on this property for over 175 years. She has lived at our address for 77 years without moving. Thank you for asking.
Something very relaxing about watching you work!!
Looks like Levi is enjoying lifes' pleasures, glad to see he is happy, and By the way Eva is beautiful and bright. I'm a fan.
My goodness,Eva, she's grown into a beautiful young woman. Thank God, she looks like her mother and not her father, good one Mike she have your work ethics .👍🌴 remember these palms 🌴 trees down your driveway ❤🌴👍🇺🇲☦️🕊
Keep on doing what you are doing! People have no idea if they have never worked with nature to try and control erosion. It is a never ending job. Enjoy your videos!
I don't know how to say this yet will try . It seems to me that the pond can be set to have a way that it won't fill with sediment some way . I think to have a example like lake mead in nevada , a great feat of engineering was that . Using the Colorado River to fill the basin for the lake and having a hydroelectric release of the waters . Through a narrow cement output to the other side of the river going through the grand canyon . I just think there is something to be learned about how waters can be controlled for humanity's improvement . Yes I think there must be a way to reduce sediment building up . Maybe like you said some sediment netting or traps to make it so the excavator is not needed to hang over the pond . So that the amount of sediment that gets to the pond makes it on through to the next delta not in the pond
Good morning Morgans and friends. Nice and cool this morning, i think we may have set a record low. I had 39°@ dawn. Mike the new hats look great. I need to order a couple. I think the camo is my favorite orange 2nd. Hope everyone has a blessed day. Tell family hello please and give Hunter a 👋 for us. Be safe and we'll see you all down the road........thanks
Hi Michael! Kind of cool here too, 57° this morning.
@@davidmorse8432 my kinda weather other then feeling behind even more on things. The heat returns this week though like always. Have a great day friend.
Great video, I just wanted to tell you, Eva sure is a beautiful well rounded young lady, you surely should be proud, she was definitely raised right ❤❤❤ lots of love from the other side of pa
Years ago I bought a book on ponds, the types to build, drainage systems, etc. The first sentence was that every pond is dying from the first day it’s built. That’s stock water ponds to a a huge concrete dam on a river. They all take maintaining.
Blows my mind that people think they know better than the person that has lived at the property for many years. There is helpful advice then there is just plain ignorance. Good job on the clean out! Hope your enjoying your day!
Mike: can you use the muck for landscaping? I think the grass would grow really good.
Love to see the camo hat with a camo back. Great for hunting.
Eva has so many of Melissa's mannerisms. She is a beautiful, kind, and smart young lady.
Hey Mike, I’ve watched your videos for almost 6 years and I’ve enjoyed all of them. I don’t know why people feel like they have to tell you how do to what you do when you demonstrate every video you know what your doing. Thanks Mike for all of the entertainment, Ray at Lake Bridgeport.
I'm watching you did the muck and I'm actually "smelling" the wet muck pile. Amazing! Have a good one, everyone.
Good job recognizing the clay liner
You’re doing the right thing and in a reasonably good way. Take your time and get it done.
No hurries, no worries, mate.
Just keep making videos
Mike
Don’t worry what it looks like on video, it looks good to those that know what they are looking at, and the cording to float the digger on was a brilliant idea to get out on it.
Time and patience and you can do most things that look too hard for others.
👍👍👍
Morning Morgans and Viewers, I think part of it is Mike just loves to run the equipment, Let Mike do what Mike does, Good Job!
It's the "boy" in Mike that makes it interesting !! LOL !!
If you even put about 4 yards of that muck on Blueford and try to start up that hill you will either ruin your clutch or just keep stalling down. Try pushing a foue wheeler on level ground a d then try it uphill. Same for the truck. Learned that the hard way. Have fun and stay safe!
Mines have spent time and thought on how to best pile overburden. They all seem to agree, the best way to pile overburden is to drive up on your pile and always dump over the back side of your pile, extending your ramp as your pile grows.
I just found out that your new Play-by-play guy for the Penguins is a guy named Joe Brand. He came from WGN Radio in Chicago. He used to do the Pre/Post games for the Hawks. Nice guy and very knowledgeable!!!
Hey Mike. I enjoy your pond work. How bout at final grade you leave a flat spot for storing a canoe, kayak, jonboat. Having it handy means it'll get used. Probably not by you but by the grandkids. Great place to learn how to row a boat. With all the wood available make a bigger flat spot and build a Cabana! Fun project to watch. Thanks for all your work.
In my neck of the woods we call the guys telling what you need to be going to your pond. Sidewalk Superinfections. They haven’t seen it or dealt with it in anyway shape or form. But they have all the answers.
Good morning Morgan family. We enjoy all your videos. From what I see you have no time to waste. I believe there are people who do, and people who do nothing but complain. Carry on, keep up the good work.
Just excellent mike & Levi cheers 🥂 😊
Watcha neighbor tryed to clean his pond. He was using a trackhoe the hole day left it in the pond that night. The next day the machine sank 3 feet and could not move. The next day it sank 4 more feet. Before he got it out the mud was at seat level.
looks like good garden soil. Nice and rich in nutrients. Maybe Eli could use it.
Yeah let’s get a trail camera down there. It’s funny how they come out when you’re working but disappear when hunting season rolls around.
Arm chair operators know how to do everything. They just never have.
Mike, regarding that muck you're removing from the pond , the micro organisms in there make for fertile addition to a garden
Good morning to the Morgan family. Glad to see everyone is doing well. I like the camo hat also Melissa. Congratulations to Levi. Good luck Mike getting a picture of the deer on camera.
Funny how ppl discount your years of experience with heavy equipment and your land. No one knows better than you what you need, and how to do it with the equipment you have on hand. Keep on doing it the way you like.❤❤ love to all!
Always nice to see the family. God Bless
Good morning Morgan family! Nice work Mike! Would a portable water pump feeding your pressure washer to clean the tracks as you pull out the corduroy logs leaving the muck behind.
Well safe to say if pond capacities aren't restored the migration of water will render associated land wet from migration over the lake banks
Different parts of the country ponds are good like Missouri ware there’s clay ground too hold the water . You do what you want with your pond . Up here in northern Wisconsin you need a liner or clay bought in to hold water . Missouri is alot of ponds .
Eva got it going , GOOD LUCK!!!
you and Arms working on their ponds looks like fun
glad the idea of the logs worked out so well!
I think a drone view would help.
Beautiful Eva!
I keep waiting for you to pull a 300 pound gold nugget out of the ground! Do you have anymore potential "in the woods" projects? Dangerous trees that need removed, dragging a big tree out of a valley, more digging etc? I love the woods and have enjoyed these cleaning out the sediment videos.
❤❤❤❤
Awesome work Mike, I really enjoy seeing you work with Levi. You are a lucky man my friend. Thanks for an awesome video.
That sawdust sure builds up fast. I have a small time sawmill inside a 40' Semi trailer. Yes I cut a 16' door in the side for loading. This keeps the sun and rain off me as I cut. But most important is the sawdust control. I have a trap door in the floor that drops into a trailer below.
Isn't there a thing about logs being underwater for a long time makes them more valuable? Sinker wood, Sunken salvage wood. It probably needs deeper colder water than you have but it could be a fun experiment.
I just think that people got nothing better to do with their life than think their opinion matters. You seem to have a good grasp of things so I like just watching your projects progress.
I also like teasing you when you do things to let the crowd get upset. Like when you slow down for that stop sign.....😮
Flash flooding is no joke! Some of the news videos from the last month near Moab, Utah were devastating to the amount of debris that comes with the water.
Thanks s for sharing Mike hope the rest of the family is well. The nice thing about cleaning and clearing you just have time. If you were on a time restraint would be different. Keep up the good work like the videos look forward in seeing you guys at the Paul Bunyan show.
Good to see Eva and congrats on your certs.
I just would love to know what the Morgan’s would have had to pay to have a reliable contractor come in and clean out the pond as well as Mike did it. I’m thinking thousands.
A corduroy road or log road is a type of road or timber trackway made by placing logs, perpendicular to the direction of the road over a low or swampy area. The result is an improvement over impassable mud or dirt roads, yet rough in the best of conditions and a hazard to horses due to shifting loose logs.
I love watching people's channels to see how they doing something maybe not the way iam used to doing it, and ill say "damn, i never thought of doings it that way" There been other times I'll just shake my head, ive never seen anyone that does everything the way others do it.
Beetle kill wood has been a thing for a number of years, with the mountain pine beetle (MPB) causing damage to forests across North America since the late 1990s.
It became a design trend in 2013, with some markets demanding high prices, for the stained lumber.
I guess it's not surprising that it took a trip to northern Michigan for you to learn about it since you cut and mill your own lumber rather than shop at the big box store.
Man Levi has such an easy job. And im sure he's getting paid well
you could leave the bridge of logs or just make sediment pond where you are digging at but make a raised area to let water run over or a spillway
These pond videos have been outstanding. So much fun to watch. You have done a nice job.
I believe Eva has a plain in front of her, she has it all laid out.
Don’t you mean PLAN !
Id like to have a dollar for every hour ive spent cleaning ponds with long boom excavators .
A lot of people sit and critique your pond cleaning project , but i guarantee very very few have the ability to clean a pond . The thing is , it is tough to clean out ponds/creeks/sumps etc with a small excavator . There is not enough reach . The camera gives people the impression that you are operating a much larger machine . Haha , as you know , you jave to literally be on top of your work with a small machine as there is never enough resch . Even midsize machines like cat 300 series machines with standard booms are too darn short .
We used hitachi EX270&300 excavators with 60 to 80' booms , i always wished for 100' .
Keep up the good work .
How steep things are don't show on camera well. I was watching the mountain stage of The Tour de France and the hill didn't look so bad. Then the camera man put the camera down at road level and it turned out it was extremely steep. It gave me a new appreciation of what the riders were doing. I know you don't suffer the haters well. I used to deal with the public and from what I saw about 10% belong in a rubber room. You guys are doing a great job. I live vicariously through You, Dirt Perfect and Lets dig 18.
That should make good Garden dirt
Your hat models are outstanding!!! Pond reclamation 👍👍👍
Like the hats but need winter hat.
People who make idiotic comment need to concentrate their own actives and treat your videos as a form of entertainment and enjoy the video's. The Kiln is what I am waiting to see. The entire focus with you is just enjoyment, that is why I watch TH-cam...
Mike you keep doing what your doing. A pond requires maintenance just like your car or truck, otherwise it would be a stinky mess.
I’ve said it before, but I’ve noticed that folks who have never DONE are those who know how to do everything🤔. I laughed at the comment that “it’s gonna fill up again so don’t clean it”…reckon they never mow their yard as grass is just gonna grow back.
about any pond needs maintenance, but with conservation ponds there is more required
We wanted to add a pond to our property. I dont know now. this video has helped me to understand whats really needed.
I've been watching you for about two years and I must say thank you for sticking with Kubota and Vermeer etc.
All these other tubers are so quick to jump on the Korean bandwagon with their LS,TYM,Kato,Sany junk.
I buy and sell three or 400 tractors a year for a major auction company, we're not even allowed to have those brands on the lot unless they are no reserve just because they have pitiful resale value on the auction market, same way with Mahindra they're only allowed with no reserve.
A few months back we had our first TYM come through the auction it had eight hours on it two years old it was a leftover dealer tractor that they could not sell, I think it was the roughly 60 horse cab with the loader, MSRP was $44,000 originally in 2022, it brought $8800 at auction.
We can arrange financing for Kubota, John Deere, new Holland, Vermeer and case iH but we don't have a single lender out of 10 banks that will touch any of those are listed above from Korea for the exception of Kioti.
Interesting
Awesome video guys love the work videos and good deal on Levi’s tree business sweet
Good morning folks!
Thanks for the vids Mike enjoy them a lot. It's to late now but Wolf Ridge should have brought about 4 of their long conveyors and nose to tail them up the hill to demonstrate that they can move dirt as well as logs, open up another market for themselves
You are doing a great job. For your situation that is probably the best way to accomplish that task.
Eva is beautiful and smart and was raised properly, any guy would be beyond lucky to make a wife out of her .
Great job
That comment about ponds needing maintenance convinced me to stop mowing my lawn and cleaning the floors in my home
