Telling my age here, every time Mike dumps a bucket of dirt in the trailer it reminds me of Pig Pen on Charlie Brown with that cloud of dust just hovering around it. The rotating bucket shot was really cool.
You couldn't have a kid called pig pen in a cartoon today! The PC police would be all over that! Now Peppermint patty could self identify as a male and have a bi racial child with another girl and nooo problem...
Intro gave me motion sickness this morning when I tried to watch at 9 am. Been queasy most of the day. Just finished watching at 6 pm. Great job Morgans. Rained for last 2 days here in upstate South Carolina. Have a productive day.
Good morning from MidMo. 66F and clear. Porch is nice this morning! Last rain here was Monday- the southern tip of the derecho system dropped a couple inches. That greener things up. Someone commented that the soil was like flour poured on the kitchen table dry. Good analogy. The bucket cam intro was nice! I was just glad you didn’t move the bucket up or down or engage the drive - that would have kicked in the vertigo! I counted 8 buckets in the first load but there might have been one slipped in I missed. You’re right about the soil being lighter - I’d guess 20% lighter than even normally wet soil. Even more lighter than what you pulled from the pond.
Here in SE Michigan, if the weather forecast calls for storms, we get nothing. If it calls for isolated showers, we get drenched. Being a weather forecaster has to be one of the best jobs, they're hardly ever right and nobody seems to care. But we have been getting some rain. Hello to Hunter and all of the Morgan's
Bad storm last night. Damage our patio cover. Was outside hanging onto it in 65mph winds and a lightning storm trying to keep it from breaking our bedroom windows. Was standing on an aluminum ladder trying to cut the ceiling fan cord off the gables that I had zipped tied onto. Felt like the Priest during Caddy Shack! You could sell that top soil here in Texas for a mint. Would love to have all that in my yard, or garden beds.
Morning. Sunny and hot in Hawaii. Tradewinds are back today so a bit cooler. Had rain for about a week but it’s passed. Good ‘cause I’ve got chainsawing to do! 😊
I wanted to let you know that you have a very wide and vast taste in music which is fantastic. Lovo how you opened this video in particular, loads of drama to the music. I am a professional musician working on getting my 70s horn band back into the mainstream and thanks to TH-cam, all of this is possible.
I like the Moritz trailer too because it has the scissor lift rather than a straight single or double cylinder set up. The scissor set up is more forgiving when you dump on un level ground. It doesnt put torsion force on the cylinder shafts causing them to wear out pre-maturely. If I get one it will have the wireless remote so I can tailgate a load with out getting out of the truck.
Great video Mike !👍👍 I sure do like the Moritz dump trailer and having one around your place allows you to get things hauled on the spur of the moment when needed! Hope you got Hunter out for BK DAY so he could have his day!!! 👍👍 Liked the new “DOO” look Melissa, you wear it well. You’ll have plenty of time to draw up some landscaping plans once the foundation forms are in place. Figure where you can plant your Pines then 👍👍. Keep having fun with it. Thanks for sharing with us and allowing us to ride along.
REALLY liked the music in the first 2 minutes 12 seconds of the video. Made it sound more professional. Like a full production documentary. Reminded me of an African safari, watching herds across the plains or mountain climbing in the Himalayas, something very action-oriented. I really liked it. Gave your production work a whole new flavor.
Well where I am it rains every 3 or 4 days been a bear haying this summer but made it through and finished all fields last Friday . This week is clean out the log loading landings and watch the Morgans
Melissa ,love your wild forest girl hair. Mike I have seen the pulverized dirt in super dry conditions actually mix with air in our main skid trail and would roll out "wakes" from the skidder tires much like wakes from a boat. It looks like you have "airated" dirt also. We would have either A foot of fluffy dirt or a foot of soupy mud. Great work and great video. Thanks again.
Good morning Morgan's, It has only rain were I live in north central Iowa 6 tenths in the last 6 weeks very dry for this area. I could see the dirt slump at the beginning of your video as you were pushing it to the low point. Looks like powder. Lot of areas need a drink. Mike you are definitely a pro with the equipment great job.
Finally got 1 good dry day in NC to rake rocks out of pasture. Checked weather and the next 4 days called for rain. We jumped in the truck and headed to Zelie to see my brother in law. Rained almost all the way up. Just before PA it stopped raining. On leveling the pad mine required 4 feet of fill on one end.
Melissa’s hair did look good. Whatever process she went through to have it like that, probably by a lot of circumstances, it looked nice. Ground work is going along nicely. Lots of dust.
Melissa, you can have a NEW TREE PLANTING PARTY with some beer and wine and some horse duvers. You can then watch them get big and beautiful as you watch grand kids grow old. You can call them Ty's trees.
Good morning all, Phil from Kansas City here. Spent the week end cutting cedars and enjoying the timber. Back to the Stihl store today. Have a day and keep yourself and other safe.
What a clean way to move dirt. I had a backhoe that I did a lot of work with and I looked like I had rolled in a pig pen after a couple of hours on it..
Can't help but to think one day one of the many holes made by Mr Mike will result in Melissa's dream of a Pool. LOL! Good job you guys. The Pool's Coming Melissa! Hold On; don't give in!
Nothing like moving talcom powder! Mike your lady is beautiful in more ways than her hair, she's a great helper, mom, loves the outdoors, is not afraid to try new things! Great love in your family!
Just wanted to let you know I have the same f150/ dump trailer setup but my trailer is 14' 12K rated.... look at your tires on your truck. Mine had P rated tires on the truck and didn't handle a load like I wanted.... I changed to E load rating 10 ply tires on my f150 and it made a WORLD of a difference towing. Also noticed you had to use the trailer brake as it was pushing the truck a little... My tires helped a bunch with that... and on the F150 the brakes are the short fall on that truck.... keep an eye on the front brake pads... mine started crumbling from the heat and needed to be replaced while under the 36K mile warranty. The second set made it to 45K miles and they crumbled from the heat as well. I upgraded to the PowerStop Truck and Tow brakes and rotor kit for about $400. Man wish I had done that from the start.... NIGHT AND DAY better. (I only tow about 10-15% of the time and max I have towed is about 10K) I had a F350 diesel before and this rig is soooo much better all around, couldn't be happier.
Hot hot n hot in Phoenix Arizona 118-120. But dry doesn’t matter still hot. Great videos and glad to see people working on their own projects. Thanks again M&M
Last! Hope everyone had a great day. Bad dry here also. We'll start getting our precipitation next month and straight to winter I'm thinking? Be safe. Tell the family hello. Have a day!
Been in the upper 80's and lower 90's here in New Mexico (Edgewood). Just started our monsoon season. Scattered showers every day, hit or miss for our chance for rain. We have the Sandia Mountains just west of us and get the winds through the canyon.
Finally got some rain in eastern CT on Sunday, maybe an inch. I have a 6’x10’ Bri-Mar dump trailer, and I love it. Don’t use it every day, but when I need it, it’s ready to go!!! Great video Mike, thanks for sharing!!!
You gave me a lead in when you started talking about the dump trailer vs a dump truck. I always thought you should have an old 4x4 duely dump box with buckshot mudders and a 460! I have the perfect solution though. Skip the Bronco, I think they are cool too, but for the $$$ I know they will bring I wouldn't do it. Go buy the exact truck you have but in an F 350 with a Diesel and electronic 4:30.1 locking axles. I think the Diesel is about a $7k option but the 3.5 was a few grand too and you would have as nice a truck and you could load or pull about anything you ever need to.
Good morning Morgan's, from hot and humid East Tennessee! We finally got a very needed an beneficial 2 1/2" of rain Saturday! Y'all definitely need some, especially to help with compacting your pad. Tell Hunter hey, and it might not hurt to take Melissa to DQ! 🍦 😉👍
Here in Denmark we had an awful July with lots of rain and wind, but August so far has been sunny and warm and light to no wind - so now we enjoy summer 😊
Weather in Mt. Pleasant SC: warm and humid. We went through a very dry July but have had plenty of rain lately. Keeping an eye out for approaching (possibly) hurricanes.
Mike I have the same F150 and the same size dump trailer and I can haul and dump about twice the amount of dirt that you are moving. I don't think it would hurt anything to load it up. My wife and I really enjoy watching your channels. Keep the videos coming!!
Central Pa.here . No rain, it is dry. Only had rain one day out of last 40 days. We worried about wells and springs, . Went to our cabin yesterday creek is almost dry. I never seen that in my 65 years.
Thank goodness the walnut tree made it! I almost didn’t watch out of fear that you were going to cut it down 😞. I think it has rained here 9 out of every 10 days for 2 months now. You have “powder” for soil. Marcus in Chesapeake VA.
I don't know about W. PA, but out here in Northern CA, we had 112F the other day, 104-107 most days. Had a major lightning storm that started around 0305 PDT and ended with a strike on a utility pole 3 houses down from me. Lucky it didn't hit my 80' Amateur Radio tower. The detonation was so loud, I thought something exploded. Then we immediately lost power until around 1500. Glad I have that 10KW diesel genset. Newsom is crying about power shortages in the state. Too hot to do any work with the L2501 unless I do it early AM. That KX080 flat gets with the program. Archie sure grew up in a hurry. He seems to give the other two a run for their money, lol. Stay safe. Cheers.
💥 Looks like you’re working in a desert. That soil is about as dry as it gets. I think you could fill the trailer a bit more with it being that dry and light weight. *Keep on tractoring!* 👍
Here in iowa some places are real short. But the whole state would like to see some rain. This past week we had straight line winds up to 100 mph. I have never seen that many trees down in our town. We were out of power for a week. Storm path 40 miles wide and 170 miles long plus or minis. Long.
That is really dry! It is in the 100's and last night (FINALLY) it rained a bit - I think 1/2" or more in two shots. Our plants were needing it - only 1" deep damp and then dry like this but hard pack. Deep water has stopped flowing off the hill at us and heading to the creek. Drying out waiting for Hurricane or Fall Rains. Winter is normally cool and clear, but last year cloudy and wet. Waiting on this year.
I live in Home PA we had a little bit of rain last night but it is so dry my small creek has dried up. The brick house looks great since the last time I saw it.
Got smashed with rain in the last 2 weeks here in South East Australia. Flooded roads, I cant get the tractor or the skid-steer out cause they will churn up the track too much. Total deluge. 9 little dams are full and there was water bubbling out of the ground...its awesome. Never seen it like this, hoping it breaks our drought and helps the bush regrow after the fire. BTW - deluge = 2 inches in 3 days......all things are relative :-) Having a day!
Hey Mike, have you ever considered using the tractor to drag the trailers around. That's what I do on my 100 acres here in Northern Rivers NSW Aus. I find it much easier as the tractor has a better turning circle.... Plus you don't have to worry about scratching it as much. Just a thought. Cheers Aussie Steve :) Keep up the good work.
Delaware has received more than normal rain this summer. It is mid August and everything is green. Normally this time of year the lawns would be brown. Have a day!
Well Mike you asked about the heat and how dry it is , I took a picture of our thermometer this afternoon and it was between 115 - 120 degrees here. You walk outside and you can feel the moisture leaving your eyes
We hit 123 deg up here in the sand hills in Logandale Nv yesterday. supposed to be hotter today. We have had 67 100 deg plus days this year and over 120 days w/ no measurable rain. That much dust would earn you a nice fine here in Clark county
More often than not, here in north Georgia, if the weatherman predicts a 30% chance of rain, we’re gonna get wet. But lately the showers haven’t lasted more than 20-30 minutes. It’s incredible how dry and dusty that topsoil is!
Here in Herndon, VA we have had several days of torrential rain. My sump pump last week came on over 200 times. My second (original) sump pump came on numerous time too and it very seldom comes on at all. That said, we've had lots of rain this month so far.
Even in Bedford county outside of Clearville, my winter runoff creek still has water. It's not flowing but I have seen it dry many years. I must be getting your 50% of showers!
It would b a good time to dig it. U have the rite tool for the job. Do any of u guys watch hedblom on u tube? He has a tilt rotator on his track hoe and that guy is somem on it. I’m not trying to promote him but I enjoy watching him work it
I have to say that the opening scene of the video with Melissa carrying the pole and that really cool music in the background made her look like a Viking warrior goddess! Better watch out Mike I bet she can really hurl that thing! 💪💪😱😱
Everything you own must be covered in dust. Any neighbors or friends coming by to help you out? My Dad was always working and building at our place. VERY very few friends or family came when we worked. My Dad was just the opposite. Much like you.
Telling my age here, every time Mike dumps a bucket of dirt in the trailer it reminds me of Pig Pen on Charlie Brown with that cloud of dust just hovering around it. The rotating bucket shot was really cool.
Yup

Buckner Missouri. 87 and sunny. Nice breeze and little humidity.
Fantastic Work Once Again Mike!!👍👊
It is a little less humid than it was two days ago. It was supposed to rain but I think that went around us. I like how your project has been done.

Mike! THAT Excavator is Really getting a Work out!
I would have been tempted to get the loader attachment to dump dirt into trailer. But it is so mesmerizing and relaxing to do it with the excavator.
That dump trailer looks pretty handy..
I’m not getting much done here in Northern California, it was 112 degrees yesterday and more is on the way. Have a day!

Great, another video to stoke my dump trailer addiction! Man I need one of those trailers bad!

Mike, you should keep the excavator. You are doing a super job and excavators are one of the finer things in life! More Hunter.
Northern Clearfield County and yep, same boat as you guys. Need rain!
Been in the upper 80's and lower 90's here in New Mexico (Edgewood). Just started our monsoon season. Scattered showers every day, hit or miss for our chance for rain. We have the Sandia Mountains just west of us and get the winds through the canyon.
Finally got some rain in eastern CT on Sunday, maybe an inch. I have a 6’x10’ Bri-Mar dump trailer, and I love it. Don’t use it every day, but when I need it, it’s ready to go!!! Great video Mike, thanks for sharing!!!
You gave me a lead in when you started talking about the dump trailer vs a dump truck. I always thought you should have an old 4x4 duely dump box with buckshot mudders and a 460! I have the perfect solution though. Skip the Bronco, I think they are cool too, but for the $$$ I know they will bring I wouldn't do it. Go buy the exact truck you have but in an F 350 with a Diesel and electronic 4:30.1 locking axles. I think the Diesel is about a $7k option but the 3.5 was a few grand too and you would have as nice a truck and you could load or pull about anything you ever need to.
Always enjoy Hunter’s trip to BK!

Mike and Melissa, I guess you can have the fun of selecting a few new pines to plant at the end of the new building!
I live in Home PA we had a little bit of rain last night but it is so dry my small creek has dried up. The brick house looks great since the last time I saw it.
Yeah, I agree with Mike. That hair looks great on you. I think that is laying by the pool hair 😃
Same here in Michigan Mike. Dry dry. Keeps missing us also.
Mike, I promise you that I could smell and taste that dirt while you were loading the dump trailer!
Someone needs a hug!!
Got smashed with rain in the last 2 weeks here in South East Australia. Flooded roads, I cant get the tractor or the skid-steer out cause they will churn up the track too much.

Here in upstate NY (near Cooperstown) July's rain total 2.5" but first 10 days of August, 5". It's still dry but not the dust bowl you have.

Amazing how dry the ground gets, how are the air filters doing on the equipment working in that dust.
Much better music, thank you. It's music of the titans, you are the titan on the excavator! well done......... :)
We hit 123 deg up here in the sand hills in Logandale Nv yesterday. supposed to be hotter today. We have had 67 100 deg plus days this year and over 120 days w/ no measurable rain. That much dust would earn you a nice fine here in Clark county
Geez M& M I didn't realize there was a desert in Pennsylvania !! Whew!! Looking good!! Enclosed by winter?
More often than not, here in north Georgia, if the weatherman predicts a 30% chance of rain, we’re gonna get wet. But lately the showers haven’t lasted more than 20-30 minutes. It’s incredible how dry and dusty that topsoil is!
Good morning from Yukon. Nice work Mike. Say Hi to Hunter for me. Have a great day. God Bless.
just curious which is bigger the bucket on the tractor or excavator?
Awesome opening shot!
I just sold my little 2 yard dump truck on Saturday. I don’t miss it...yet. It would have worked nice for your job there.
Here in Herndon, VA we have had several days of torrential rain. My sump pump last week came on over 200 times. My second (original) sump pump came on numerous time too and it very seldom comes on at all. That said, we've had lots of rain this month so far.
Even in Bedford county outside of Clearville, my winter runoff creek still has water. It's not flowing but I have seen it dry many years. I must be getting your 50% of showers!
A Pool will make the sting of the evergreen trees go away... lol
Not only that. It would give him plenty of fill for the new building. I consider that a win win situation.

@@randywilson6869 no i havent watched him Randy ill check him out.
I have to say that the opening scene of the video with Melissa carrying the pole and that really cool music in the background made her look like a Viking warrior goddess! Better watch out Mike I bet she can really hurl that thing! 💪💪😱😱
that is amazing, in Okla. where we have hills, it is because that is where the rocks are.
Everything you own must be covered in dust. Any neighbors or friends coming by to help you out? My Dad was always working and building at our place. VERY very few friends or family came when we worked. My Dad was just the opposite. Much like you.
Wow!.. I can feel that dirt dust choking me out from here...lol
Chesterfield, VA, got between 6 and 11” of rain on Saturday morning - massive flooding
Mix some of your old leaves in with that topsoil great for grass
The soil is reacting like flour spilled on the kitchen table. Very dry .
