As an old soldier who served for 25 years I am glad they are exempt. When we go into battle the last thing we need is equipment failure because of some stupid green weenie EGR or DEF fluid causing failures that will impact missions that our soldiers may be on. Matter of fact I just wish the Politian's would just let the generals run the show and let the military to do their job...
On Edit: Decommissioned equipment is sold at auction but we do sell alot to other countries...
I also want to clarify that I would also agree with Mike saying that NO Diesels should have EGR, DEF, DPF or any other Enviromental crap on it. They kill the performance of the engine.
Spot on with your decommission comment. Prior to retirement, I ran a very large municipal fire apparatus fleet. The duty cycles of of large fire apparatus are not conducive to the emission systems used. ESpecially early on, we had countless issues that often took apparatus out-of-service. The number of fire apparatus produced in the US is miniscule compared to the number of over the road vehicles. Working with others who were trying to get fire apparatus exempted, I had the opportunity to speak with a very high ranking EPA official in Washington around 2010. In so many words, I was told, "Mr *****, you don't seem to understand. Not only are we never going to exempt fire apparatus, we are seriously considering removing the exemption from our military because those vehicles eventually get decommissioned and end up elsewhere." After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I said a prayer for our military. Thank God that goofy idea never came to fruition...yet.
@@danmech123 When I was a dealership diesel tech I repaired a pumper truck that had an engine fire due to an mission control while responding to a call and it was extinguished by the foam system on the truck.
At this point our Military is about a joke. We don't win anything no matter how long we are involved.
And yet people continue to vote for more Big Govt. More Control of EVERYTHING. Stop voting with emotions.
Thank you for your service! I was also thinking the same thing as Mike was saying that…
Levi is a nice asset for your business. Intelligent, hard working and honorable. Those are RARE in people these days. Well done Levi. Going to check out your channel 😊😊
Def is a wild thing. How does producing urea whatever that process would be,and deionized water, using the power to mix and then making plastic jugs to put it in and then cardboard boxes to ship it to the gas station, plus the extra process of building and the extra parts required for the def exhaust of the truck, plus parts that need to be on shelves for these systems, plus the reduction in fuel economy possibly ever be better for the environment. Government math is absolutley wild. Love the channel keep up the good work!! 🍻
Someone came up with a product they couldn't sell. So now you have to but a product which doesn't help much. Airplanes don't use DEF. How can causing vehicles to use much more fuel than before fix the problem caused by burning fuel?
Stone gravel who cares what you call it people got way to much time on there hands lol I think you should put some false trimmer on chicken coop to make it look like a good old home stead 2 hole outhouse lol blasting hole is cool I own 100 of them called oil wells how about you use them as blasting holes 🕳 they used to and it worked good I need your blasting experience
And besides. how much pollution does a laser guided bomb produce.
@@StikkyWoodI'd bet the folks that "use" to live in that area really could care less, but I also bet you could petition the government for a grant to study that and get some more useless knowledge for them😂😂😂
the process is the punishment
Thanks for throwing Levi some love on camera! He is an awesome young man and I’m glad you get to work with your son everyday. My son lives four states away in Boston, Massachusetts and he doesn’t have any interest similar to mine. Thank God I have a son-in-law that does! I love them both 👍🏻🙂
Good afternoon Morgans and friends. Happy Father's day to all the fellas out there.
I learned most all native trees and flowers when i was younger like Levi has. If you see this Levi, im still interested in a few chinese chestnuts. I believe you have most species i have here, but I'm sure i have something though we could trade. Happy Father's day.
I was at rural king the other day, 75% off all trees and flowers. I brought home several white pines, a few more black hills spruce and wife bought all kinds of flowers and bulbs. We're pretty much out of room here on the homestead.
We saved pumpkin seeds from the ones we bought our granddaughter last year. She wanted a pumpkin patch of her own this year and we've been struggling to get all the starts planted due to heat and no rain. If the dont die, she'll have quite the patch.
Mike, i hope you have a great Father's day aswell. Please tell the family hello, be safe and we'll see you down the road.....thanks.
Def fluid is a great fertilizer for your grass...its mostly water and nitrogen. Mix a jug 50/50 with water...spray on grass...either right before it rains or rinse it off grass blades and wash it in. Grass greens up real nice..and way way cheaper than grass fertilizers in the bag. Always test a small area on your particular variety of grass to make sure it doesn't burn and tolerates the dilution mixture...adjust as necessary. 👍✌💯
Mike, you saved a lot of lives when you guys did that road work on the narrows in Lewistown. One of the most dangerous stretches of road I was ever on before the improvements.
I remember hearing about all the accidents on that section prior
Great music today, great to see and hear from Levi! He's like a silent partner. You can tell that he is a fine young man! Well done Dad! Happy Father's Day!
Levi is a wise person to own land, since he knows so much about plants and trees.
And terrariums…
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there and to you too Mike! Great video. 👍❤️
I have a surplus 1984 M1009 Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle, basically a Chevy Blazer with a Humvee engine and transmission and military electrical system. It has a sticker under the hood saying it is exempt from EPA regulations. Generally, when the military gets rid of vehicles, they are so old that they are exempt from regulations anyway. Yet, DEF will still be a problem. The military is having to get rid of several series of vehicle because the OEMs don't make those engines anymore because they don't meet EPA regs and the military doesn't need enough to keep the production lines open. The fact that the military wants to run jet fuel in their diesels for logistical simplicity is an additional complication.
There is only one truck on an American military installation. The military uses the term "vehicle". The question was always asked as part of the trivia required to be excused from guard duty. The question was "how many trucks are on a military base and where are the located".
And the information remains secure…
My question on DEF is this; If you add up the process required from the production and distribution of the DEF to the additional equipment needed on a vehicle, including the related additional maintenance, is there truly a net saving to the environment?
Same with ethanol for the gas engines
Great seeing Levi. He has so much tree knowledge I would love for him to do a walk through the woods explaining the different trees. Just when I think I have all our trees identified on our property I’ll notice something else. Great video and a Happy Father’s Day to you, be safe ☕️🦌
I enjoyed hearing Levi's comments. Did not see the link to his channel. You have a great asset in Levi and would like to hear more from him. You are truly blessed as a dad. Have a great day.
Less than a minute into this video and you’re already onto the political stuff! AND I LOVE IT! If no one ever exposes the hypocrisy or the overt political criminal activity, then it is never going to be dealt with. People need to be winged off of their complacency and distractions to wake them up. And what better way to do it than in videos that are enjoyable and have a large audience. This is the way! Keep up the good work Mike!
I bought a property in Pine Mountain, Ga. In 2022. It had a spring on it with concrete walls around it built around 1910. Over the years a lot of activity disturbed the soil and Chinese privet took over. It is terrible for a spring because no grasses or sedges grow causing run off instead of absorption for the spring. We cleared them out and now natives are starting to reappear and the water flow has increased dramatically.
I burn my plastic def jugs to offset my diesel emmisions ! Saving the environment one burned jug at a time! 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I would not show my ignorance that way.
@@realairplane261
IMHO ignorance is the belief that eliminating plant food is a good idea.
@@realairplane261 your ignorance to sarcasm shows as well.
@realairplane261
Please sir, pull up your pants. Your ignorance is showing.
As a commercial driver, I remember Regeneration/DEF regs was for on road diesel vehicles only. At least that was how it started out. Then all of a sudden tractors and off road equipment started having it. If you look up off road only pickup truck regs etc there are exemptions for them so why not a tractor that never sees a paved road? Doesn’t make any sense.🤷♂️
That's how most worthless government regs start: first suggested, then forced
Lobbyists write the legislation that is made into law. It makes sense if you are a DEF manufacturer.
Yup, typical guvmnt, suggest then mandate. Idle hands are the workshop of the devil
Me working within the International Freight Logisitics for the USA. People would rage with the amount of Vessels, Ships, and Equipment that the government doesn't regulate emissions. There sat a cargo ship and cruise ship just the other day idling at harbor where the bay had this ploom of varied colored engine exhaust.
If you need a roller, Diesel Creek might have one you could use! Although we might have some differences, thx for bringing us along! 😊😊😊 John Ken
So appropriate your conversation with Levi on Father’s Day … interesting and that species walk good idea. Oh yeah throw in a Huntman cameo.. luv it.
I have my hands held up at the enemy lines, saying, "Wait, until I put more D.E.F. fluid into my deuce-in-a-half, please." Sarge.
Lol but you better put a drip pan under that oil pan!
They have to take time to put diesel in. 🤷♂️
Military vehicles often have to rely on different types of fuel. I don’t suppose an engine that can use multiple fuel types in theatre can rely on a steady supply of the fuel consumers use.
Wow, Levi seems really nice and smart, have not seen too much of him! I really liked him talking about the species and the woods!
Looks great Mike. Using that tilt bucket to cut that root was awesome, well done!! Can't wait till your next post!! Thanks.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Question: (I must have missed it) Did you ever answer the “contest” question of how much stone you used in a year? I think this might have covered 2022 or 2023 stone purchased? Thanks. Enjoy your videos. 😏
The music you use on your channel is much better than what I hear on most others. Knowing that it's generally from the public domain, could you please put playlists into the description so that these songs/riffs can be looked up? Thanks in advance!
Most Military vehicles are multi fuel compatible. Can run on Diesel, Kerosene, Jet fuel and heating oil. Pretty much any thin oil. So advanced emissions control would never work as the engine is designed to run on poor quality fuels and keep going. This would block any catalyst or diesel particular filter too quickly and make the vehicle not drivable. The goal is reliability in any condition be that desert or artic and everything in between not emissions control. Or you would be putting the military personnel in undue danger. Eg
“We can’t move the tank because it’s doing a Regen”
I agree, would never work for the military, I never said it would work or implied that they should have to use it. My point was the government knows it’s not a good solution yet civilians are forced to use it
Every diesel will run on Diesel, Kero, jet fuel, and heating oil.
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans I just made that comment to someone who felt you were making that complaint. It’s a matter of we know the systems don’t work but require them anyway to say we’re doing something
Army and USAF use JP8 in aircraft and ground vehicles, USMC use JP5 due to higher flashpoint while on board ships, Jet Fuel is NOT the same as diesel. My Bn in GA used DF2 in garrison and in the field, as soon as we deployed, transitioned to JP8 resulted in 250 vehicles having to have fuel filters changed and tanks cleaned of DF2 related sludge. As others have said, the battlefield is not the right time to wait for a REGEN.
Michael, we can’t grow grass nor about anything without irrigation here, out west, in Colorado! I’m always amazed at your seeding grass without a sprinkler system!
I enjoy Levi’s knowledge of trees and plants. A few years back, I “suggested” that motor mike plant the apple orchard again and then it looks like Levi took the idea to real al ity.
The same goes for construction equipment, excavators, bulldozers, etc. As of right now, I have seen used military equipment, bulldozers excavators for sale at governmental auctions.
In the Midwest, we live on gravel roads. I was 61 yo when I learned we live on a stone road. Mind blown. By the way, if we need decorative rock, we go to the stone yard. That should be called gravel yard. Evidently, we are completely backward in Ks.
In PA, we call them all “dirt roads” regardless of the predominant aggregate.
39 degrees for a low in Boonville this morning. Supposed to be in the 90's this week. Good progress on your road!
In Maine anything with crushed rock only, no fines is crushed rock. Anything with fines in it whether crushed or just screened is gravel. I always say to my customers gravel is what the duke boys roads were made of. Some people that move to the area order gravel, and they expect crushed washed stone.
Another good use for DEF is as a spray on fertilizer. Might work well for your new food plot. And as a fertilizer it’s the least expensive one can use.
Happy Father's Day! One comment on the stone differences...apparently Pennsylvania has developed their own, different system for the gradation of stone. Most/practically all of the US and much of the world use the ASTM system for grading aggregates, both coarse and fine. ASTM also governs many/most of the standards for the production of concrete.
You do not plant grasses in the spring . The roots develop in the fall in the cool weather . Since you don't have the deep roots in the spring , the first dry spell you have , it will typically die off unless you get a lot of rain .
Mike, I can see a stone bunker down in the wood yard just like the wood bunker. As much stone as you need between all the properties you maintain it could help you to store some when you need it.
Mike, another difference between gravel and crushed stone is gravel is generally excavated, either from a river/creek, or from a deposit. Stone has to be blasted from a formation then processed. Also, gravel usually has a fair amount of sand in it that has to be removed, primarily thru washing, but sometimes can be dry-screened. Around my area we have substantial deposits of gravel in the ground. It also gets crushed to make various sizes, since the nearest stone quarry is over an hour away. My dad, who was in the crushed stone business for over 40 years, always said that creek/river rock will always find itss way back to the creek.
Love your choice of music! Sets the right mood.
Mike, if you would run for president you got my vote. I know the first thing you would do is cut out crazy unnecessary spending.
Get the tote that you had set up to water your lawn awhile back and use that to wet the stone down. Check and see if they have rollers that has a water tank that they use for stone
Here in Wis. stone comes from the rock quarry and is crushed to different sizes. Gravel comes from natural gravel pits, which is a mixture of small smooth stone and sand. Many gravel pits dot Wis. which were left over from the streams formed from the melting ice of the Ice Ages. 👨🏻🦳 🐄🐄 🚜
I can 100% tell you that our manufactures here like Oshkosh build units for overseas that do not have emissions on them also. I remember a bunch of fire apparatus getting shipped over. Nothing had emissions on it. However, that is one of the biggest issues with reliability in the USA with road trucks and fire apparatus. We are fed a ton of crap everyday abot this. Our governement would rather us throw appliances and vehicles out and create more waste so they can have these systems on them. All the while we make more waste making DEF and these systems that add nearly 600 lbs to a vehicle. And are not reliable. Most people have issues with them.
Honda ran their last production run of lawnmowers for the USA in 2023 due to emissions regulations.. A lawnmower is the enemy of the EPA. I never thought I would see it. They restrict on road motorcycles like they are the enemy of the state. Look at the required testing for an on road or dual sport motorcycle. Just to have it sputter, backfire, and run extremely hot with all the crap attached. 8 Million motorcycles on the road in the USA vs. 288 million cars. And motorcycles and lawnmowers are an issue.
Yea and Kallie off road MC’s and ATV’s have to have a CARB compliance to register 🥴🥴🥴 It all boils down to Control of the Masses
Great seeing cameo appearances by your sons. Great seeing Levi in a lot of your videos. You have a lovely family, Happy Father's Day, Mike
Good morning Mike, Happy Father's day! Would love to see Levi do a walk through identifying native vs non native plants and trees. Nice Boulder 👌. Good start to the entrance of the road..
I’m retired military. A lot of our daily shop trucks and non combat vehicles do have emissions. We also use contractors and they have emissions vehicles also. Those exempt vehicles are not always used every day. They’re used for training and actual missions/deployments.
Talk to Clint at c&c equipment, he sells used military equipment. All of the newer stuff that normally would require emissions equipment don’t have any.
Mike, the government's attitude is that you should be happy that they are allowing you to own a diesel engine. I wonder how many in the US government own interest in the companies that make DEF? I bet the government does not require DEF for the diesel generators that I have seen used to charge EVs either.
I get it. However in a combat environment, DEF would add a supply and eventual break down problem as all of us know from owning a DEF vehicle .
Cease fire! I need to do a Regen. 😂
But all military vehicles aren’t used in a combat environment. The diesel vehicles used in the Minuteman Missile Maintenance field will never see combat action.
I wouldn’t use the word “never” and I would rather be safe than sorry as a country. Our own government is against us for crying out loud and every country hates us because of our government.
“I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.”

Gravel also has sand with small rocks !
My 2 cents for where you took out the river rock. Plant lawn. Everything looks great
Dear Mike, over here in the UK we have a rule for all militery vehicles as in Army, Navy and Airforce which is called CROWN EXEMPT. This means they can build what they want and do what they want. The enviro and a whole host of other road rules they can breach with no come backs what so ever. BUT if a tracked motor (tank?) damages a road surface they have to pay for the repairs and closures. they use red diesel and not road diesel as they are TAX EXEMPT in all laws and restrictions. Have a great day....
Guy at work told me he saw a vidja on the u tube that a landscaper puts Def in with his round up, because def is liquid fertilizer and it tricks the plants into thinking they are getting extra food and it speeds up the roundup process
Thank you for the explanation of gravel and stone. I was brought up calling it all gravel. Loved seeing Hunter haven't seen him for a little while except when he goes to get a treat.
Nice to see Levi and to learn more about his interests. Very impressive lad.
Thanks for the good tunes... much appreciated!
Mike my view is that all gravel is made out of crushed stone, river or quarry.
Enjoy your work.
You can also buy DEA liquid in an IBC pallet, which is cheaper than all those separate packages
Thinking that you waited until the wife was gone so she wouldn't come out and see the mess you were making at first 🤣🤣🤣, but as always, when you are done , looks great! Fun watching you work 👍 I worked 20 total years in two different quarries here in Northern NY, running breaker, excavator , loader,etc, and always kept watching out for unusual stones, lot of fossil marking, etc. lot of the reason I like your videos, common interests 👍👍👍
To be fair Mike, military vehicles need to be operation ready at all times. Adding a DEF system to them would render them unreliable.
Plus, local governments would need to develop another revenue stream if we were not monitoring emissions on diesel vehicles.
I think what he’s saying is it proves they know it makes things unreliable but are forcing it on us
Always thought the difference between stone and gravel was the size of the rock. But since you described the difference I looked it up and you are correct. Nothing to do with size.
Happy Father's day to you Mike! Your son Levi is a fine young man and so are all your children! God bless you and your family.
Happy Father's Day, Mike & Levi! Spicy opening there, Mike! Love it! Quite the hypocrisy in our government. We are having our pad built for our barndominium home build. The pad is 110' X 70' and one corner had to be built up about 4'. I think we are at around 750 tons of stone now. Two dump trucks (25 ton and 15 ton beds) were dumping for four days straight. That road to the meadow is going to be a lot of stone.
Nice to see Levi on here.
Happy Father’s Day! That road looks amazing
In Oregon, we "rock" roads and we use pea "gravel". I guess we use "rock" for everything you use "stone". i.e. 3/4 minus rock. Great seeing Levi and thanks for your videos.
Great job Mike. The only way to change these draconian laws is with the antiseptic of sunshine. Keep up the wonderful work.
Subscribed to Levi's channel. Thanks for the link
Why Thank you! HAPPY FATHERS DAY to YOU! ALSO may your whole FAMILY BE BLESSED! Keep up the good work.
Road project looking very nice Mike keep up the great work you're doing looks awesome enjoy your day have fun be safe happy Father's Day😊
The road is looking great and Happy Father's day!
Could spend an hour or 2 getting blueford fixed up enough. Would be a perfect job for the old timer
Hey Mike you can't have military vehicles in a war zone setting waiting to finish a Regen so I agree.
Mike: it would be interesting, some day, for you to show the kind of DRILL / SAW that you used, (or whoever cut them???) to cut the bore holes, and maybe what a newer one looks like ???
Most newer military trucks still have the option points for the def but it is not installed. Therefore, they could have the truck sold but have it required by the new owner to install all def equipment to make it legal for commercial civilian use.
Absolutely correct. My military HMMWV's do have a catalytic converter. You can buy a John Deere 850J bulldozer and other large equipment.They have no emissions system. Mike, you can get a lot of equipment on auction. Low hour skid steers even. Gov Planet is the company I use to by my HMMWV's🇺🇸
Privitt grows up and leans over and spreads seed away from the bush and new plants come up and lean out... Thereby it will take over a field given time. Not many years. We got behind in the massive rains lately and it is maybe 25 feet from where it was. A power pole was there I used to drive around but now is deep inside the overgrowth.
You nailed it on the def and it's 1000x more deadly than the carbon deoxcid that comes out of a diesel engine other words it will kill you quickly unlike the other fumes from a older diesel engine and is more damaging to the environment than the carbon deoxcid that they don't like the only thing that it does is make the smoke invisible and you have to pay more taxes for it. God Bless Y'all up there and have a great day 🙏🙏👍😮
Good Sunday morning Morgan family! Down in Hilton Head SC this week, and enjoying the beautiful weather. Hope you have a fantastic week!
All I know is that I know alot of small business operators have deleted the DEF from their trucks. It’s not like anyone ever checks. It will however void your warranty . And you can pre def trucks and motorhomes etc. my recommendation is just delete all that crap. Less headaches, better on the wallet, more power, more sunshine
I commend you Mike. I used a skid steer for the first time yesterday and I gonna need some more practice.
Happy Father’s Day Mike. Yes we need rain. Yards over here in Ohio are getting pretty crispy looking. With the high temperatures predicted this week, I only see things getting worse. Burying cow bones for the grandkids to dig up would be hilarious!!!
Good morning, Morgans, thanks for the content. Love seeing the road develop.
You worked in the area called the narrows where they made a 4 lane highway from a 2 lane road.Sure is nice down through there now.
👍👍👍👍👍👌Wow lots of interesting stuff coupled together with a super choice of soundtrack everything tied together so well, a person forgets about the operator skills to do it all, really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing !!
Here in Wis. rock comes from the rock quarry and it is crushed. Gravel is a natural product from from the gravel pit and is smooth stone mixed with sand naturally.
Mike, I never get tired of watching you operating equipment. You really have a nak for it. You don't even have to talk. That's all it takes for me, personally. A little less talk and a lot more action guy. That's me. I am just a regular subscriber. I like your channel.
DEF fluid is not used to regen the particulate filter. It is injected into the scr to help reduce NOX
Happy Father's Day! Time to spend some time with the Morgans!
We learned long ago that one CANNOT represent the people unless he/she is subject to the same laws - that comes from the "Taxation without representation" thing... The crown said that we DID have representation as some volunteers agreed to "represent" our interests in Parliament. We made the argument that they CANNOT represent the people. So... yeah... do you know how many laws and statutes that Congress is exempt from? Seriously... we need to examine this a little better. DEF compliance is the LEAST of the problems... lol. Thanks for pointing it out though.
At 5:04 into the video ,shows the perfect build site for a new building . A straight shot from the new gate to the other side of the curve. Drive in some engineered pylons in the valley and build right over it . I had posted this idea before .Maybe down the road it might happen .
This could be a good application for the old dump truck, get your tri-axle loads dumped then use the single axle to spread and help pack
Good Sunday morning! Here comes the heat. I get almost all my DEF fluid at the truck stop pumps. Cheaper and easier.
I got contaminated def too many times at the pump only buy that crap in the bottle now.
Looking really nice Mike, everything is coming together, ideas, good planning, and it works out good. It will be really handy to have an all weather road to the meadow. Good to see The Hunt Man in the background, as well as Eva :)
Have a great week sir. 💯🙏
Nice job on the entrance. That thumb on your grading bucket sure comes in handy for moving those big rocks exactly where you want them. It hurt my thriftiness to see all those 2.5 gal. DEF jugs. Though it sucks that we have to use this stuff, it’s a real crime that you pay at least twice as much per gallon of DEF in those jugs as the truckers do at the pump. To save a buck, I save my empties, the fill 7 or so at a time when I’m on a road trip passing truck stops that sell DEF at the pump. Saves me at least 50% over the price per jug at the auto parts store. Since my mom was 15 when the great depression ended, I guess I’m just wired to save a buck. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished road. I have a similar project at our property in northern Wisconsin. I sure wish we had the same solid foundation as my home state of PA. I’ll be dealing with at least 12” of clay to get my road started. I expect to learn a thing or to watching you finish your road. See you then.
Good morning all! Off to church soon, I will be back soon!..
If you search for the article "AIR FORCE FORD SUPER DUTY PICKUPS LACK EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT" which was printed June 17th, 2024. The article talks about the Air Force not using emissions in their Ford Super Duty trucks.
