Mike, my hats off to you, it's called pleasure to see someone taking care of their equipment as u do. Makes for less maintenance and fewer breakdowns that shows you've got common sense and few people have that in todays world. Love your show.
Enjoy your videos and family involvement. Beautiful piece of land you are caretaker on for the future generations. This is how things should work. Oklahoma says hi.
Thats a good size dump trailer, its like a small dump truck. You have nice equipment, and it big chunk of land to keep it all on. Cheers !
Don Darrow born Illinois , retired to Florida... Watching since July 2019. Still a lt to catch up on. Having fun doing so
Really enjoying your channel guys It is good to see all the work you do . I,m in ENGLAND so this is so good for me to see how you guys do things in the U S A
Mike yet Again Nice Job!!👊👍
Thank you for sharing the video. Enjoy watching here in Ohio. 👍
Been watching your show for the last several week and like it too much. I have a hard time getting any thing else done. Love all the stuff you do. I grew up on a 250 acre farm in So. Eastern Minn. Good thing it’s been below zero (15 to 25) for the last week or so. I’m a retired acft mechanic so it doesn’t matter now. My wife and I heated our house with wood for several years, too old to do it now (76) too fat now too. Have a day!!
Really like your channel there in Pa. I live in Cailf 100 miles north of Sacramento and I'm a wood Turner. And love cutting fire wood.
Clark County, Washington here. Crushed Stone/Limestone, ordered in smaller amounts, a cubic yard of crushed stone can cost as much as $115 and a ton as much as $143. Ordered in larger amounts, a cubic yard can cost as little $30 and a ton as little as $65.
Looks like a good spot for a open front shed
Lookin good. The halls from n.indiana. Spoke to mike about deer hunting and the herds here. Spoke to melissa about having friends and family sign things at buckinstock in Michigan. Remember my wife and I?
A new operator in the loader gets my attention after this. I have an old Donahue 8x16 gooseneck grain trailer. It’s old enough it does not have a VIN. I was hauling gravel for my driveway. The sand pit operator had broken his arm so his wife was in the loader. I came across the scales with 30,060 lbs on three axles, the front axle of the pu did not fit on the scale. The old girl grinched and groaned but lifted the load off.
When I feel the need to relax, your videos fill the bill and I learn a lot as well. Great family, great work ethic and great videos. Thanks for providing. Al from Tucson, Az.
Just a safety note, use a tag line rope on load so you can position load from a safe distance without getting between load and another object.
My last weekend I watched one of your videos on the mill, one after another. Then I liked the grappler, then I started binge watch most of your videos. Then I subscribed. Now i'm hooked. love your videos!!! I'm from Arkansas and retiring in about 2 or 3 years, and need to build a house. Trying to learn all I can!!!
BTW I have a few video's myself, just look up name!!!!
Thanks for taking the time and energy necessary to share what many of us can only dream about doing ourselves. Living in the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona doesn't provide many opportunities for felling trees and milling lumber or splitting into firewood. So I am relying on you to share what I can only imagine and what it would be like. I discovered your channel only a few months ago and I look forward to each new episode. Having done my share of taking videos and video editing and rendering, I know the time it takes and I am in awe how the two of you are able to keep up with all the demands on your time.
I truly love the life you are living and it is obvious to me how important your family is to you. I wish you the very best as you continue to work hard and are so willing to be an inspiration to so many people. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family as you remember Him.

Mike, I done some tractor work also, not like you did but someday I need to but what I done, I got on my Kubota B7300 HST and unhooked the scrape blade then hooked up the bush hog and I done a good bit of heavy mowing. I cut thick grass and weeds with briars enbedded and a few small brush and cleared off a hillside. I spent all day outdoors and there was no doubt I was in my Happy Place. I felt so good staying out there and the weather was great but on the hot side and dry. We need rain and a lot of it but not all the same time. My lawn areas are looking like a desert all brown and dry. we had no rain here for going on about I guess 3 or 4 weeks.
Anyway like you, I had a day too...a super good day outdoors. Enjoyed so much I didn't want this day to end but it must I guess.
I agree that we who have tractors and implements and such need a dedicated place for all our stuffs. I need to rebuild my so called equipment lot and it looks better and it's easy to get to what you need and it's basically out of the way. I like to keep my stuff orginized. they say I'm a perfectionist. I don't know about that but I like to be able to get to my stuff and not have to dodge this and that to get to what I need. No matter, I still enjoy the outdoors.
Your dump trailer is the thing. I know you will get some very good use out of if and enjoy it to the hill. Nice, very nice. Hello Melissa, Stanley, and I may get the other names messed up so I won't say because well I'm that way. Hello my buddy Hunter! I can't forget my buddy for life.
God Bless all the Morgan family.

Build a retaining wall down along that trail on that bank. Backfill it to level the ground. Move that equipment again. Concrete pad that area you are working now with a 12-24 inch cantilever over hang over the wall to clear your fenders of your dump trailer. Set up the wood splitter and conveyor right there for the rounds to pile up on the pad... For those who want to season their wood on their property - back the dump trailer down the trail along the retaining wall, RK55 bucket push the wood straight into the dump trailer from the conveyor pile.... ?.... Just a thought.😕 Layout of the ground is perfect for it.👍
From Wyoming, working in the Middle east. Love the videos, your care for your family and of the property (land, equipment, etc.) and your operator skills. It's good to see people living a good life, appreciating it, caring for it, and being kind. I assume the trailer pulled smooth with the 2.75T of stone as you didn't mention otherwise. I liked the music in this video too. I held my breath when Melissa was under the forks of the tractor... but understand she is used to working around equipment you are operating and you are deliberately slow and cautious. Thanks for sharing your piece of the world. Sorry to see about the camera. That's a bite out of the wallet I would guess. Best to you and yours... and pats for the pups.
Great info, Mike is very skilled at running the tractor, spreading the stone, with help from Milessa, keep the great videos coming. Thanks, Jim from Ontario, Canada
I'm from the Panhandle of Texas. Just 80 miles from Oklahoma border. We get all for seasons up here as well as very high winds, sometimes 70 + miles an hour. Always have wind. This area was part of the Dust Bowl. Very flat and arid. Very little rain fall. No trees to speak of. That is one of the many reasons I love watching your channel. I love to see lots of trees and forested areas. Love the hard busy work ethic you and Melissa have. I was raised to work the same. My husband and I are retired and disabled now but I joined a gym recently to try to get as much strength back as I can working with a personal trainer after a massive back surgery. I enjoy seeing Hunter, Just wondering what is his day like? Does he have chores he is able to complete like feeding the dogs or making his bed, just wondering if he is able to stay busy. He seems like he enjoys waking around and seeing what everyone is doing. All your children seem to be great kids. Enjoy seeing your entire family. If the questions about Hunter are too private I understand, forgive me if I overstepped.
your new trailer is the bomb!!i I bet you wished you had it earlier ? you guy's work well together you said to mention where i am from San Diego retired here from the mountains burned a lot of fire wood cut and split by hand!!enjoy your videos hope to meet you some day. Have a day!!!
Hi there Morgans from Perth, Western Australia, from a New Zealander (kiwi) living here in Aus.
And lined up new machines on new gravel, a sight that goes deep into the heart and soul!
Central Kentucky. Love your videos.
Good afternoon from California. I think it's just great that you're acquiring the right tools for the right job. Having worked for county parks doing much of the same stuff you do on your property, it was like pulling teeth to get some of the tools needed to do the job properly and safely. Good for you!😁
Seeing that lifting frame behind your tractor reminded about something. You may find a hydraulic toplink useful for your logging work. It would expand the lofting range of that lifting frame. Down the road it would support a rear lifting boom, which you might find handy. It is nice to see your equipment pool growing. The firewood bucket sounds like very good idea. As always my thoughs are with the Morgans. God Bess you all.
Archibald rocks.
Still watch the reruns here.
Another great video. 👍👍👍❤️
Mike, outdoor pallet racks would really help you with space and organize. keeps the implements up off the ground too .
Hi guy's! Mike your gonna have to do a video on setting your tailgate to dump stone.
Chris Keasler from Sunset, SC. You inspire me to get outside and play with my tractor and equipment!
They do make quicktach for your tractor making it easier to attach and detach your equipment from your tractor
Love your Golden Retrievers Melissa. They definitely have their own personalities.
Don't you have the flap function on the trailer gates. That way you back up to where you want to cover, and raise bed and drive away.
That's what I was Thinking
I would look at putting up an equipment shed at some time to keep your implements out of the weather. It will protect them could build over the pad maybe with material left over from the sawmill building. Goes a long way in the longevity of seldom used implements
Great plan Mike
Maple Grove, MN You sure do a variety of jobs very well, Mike. And Melissa also! I look forward to seeing what will be next. Hi to Hunter!
Enjoy your channel. Las Vegas, NV
Don’t know about any other subscribers, but I really enjoy the blues music! Good work to all at the Morgan household 😎
Hi Mike idk about yr local Walmart but the one hear where I live gives us all them nice heavy duty plastic pallet that we want. They would work great to store yr tractor implements on to keep them from rusting from grown contact
Hello Mike and Melissa, “oops happens” ! You are putting the Moritz to work in the way it was intended and it’s working great. The work yard is looking good but it’s getting smaller 🤔. I am sure you have a plan though, I will let you worry about it and I’ll set back and enjoy it all unfold. 😉 Be safe and today’s BK Day, HEY Hunter !! Thanks for sharing with us.
Another great video of Melissa with Ruger,Stanley and Piper
Love the dogs being chauffeured around! :)
That tree looks like it wants to be the anchor of a 3 sided Attachment/Woodbin shed to keep those guys out of the rain and snow -) LOL what an ending!
Well Mike with that dump trailer and stone I see a super duty Ford coming your way
I see a duramax. Mike dont have time to walk.
Love your new toy!! 😊
I like the wood in the basket idea, nice way to do an on going delivery and return service.
Nice job Mike keep on making the great great videos. Were here in New Jersey.
Like your videos from Columbus, Indiana
Good morning from central pa having a nice morning so far but a chance of a rain shower later found the leaf thing they are falling early still lots of green ones left have a great day 👍
I think a shed at the old orchard for the agricultural equipment would be good, rough sawn green. Then another shed for the sawmill and tractors near the house. That trailer is definitely an asset.
Henrico Co. VA, just outside of Richmond. Looking forward to seeing this new firewood bucket. Y'all have a great day and keep up the great work.
Sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident with your favorite camera- I hope it’s repairable!
Good morning from Missoula, Montana. Jealous of your BEAUTIFUL weather, we are supposed to get feet of snow in our end of the state. Hello to Hunter “Spicy” Morgan. Have a great day!
I love your choice in music on your channel. Something I look forward to in addition to your videos. God bless you and your whole family
Hi Morgans, Bob from Perry County PA. We love Goldens, tractors and working around the property too. Archery is coming soon as well....
Great video This is how my back yard looks tractor implements every where LOL. I use heavy duty plastic pallets to put my implement on this keeps moisture off the steel. I seen how damp surfaces like rocks, dirt and grass tend to cause increased corrosion on most implements so the pallets allow water to shed off and leak to the ground plus moving things is a breeze now. Thanks for sharing.
I see a nice machine shed in the future made out of cherry with a galvanized roof, maybe some heavy 4x4 racks and you could stack some of the lighter implements 4 or 5 feet off the ground. It's a problem when you get too many toys! When I was a kid on the farm my Dad always put grease or used oil on the disk blades and plow shears to keep them from rusting...used an big old paint brush. I don't know what happened to the camera but I think that's what happens when your setting in a nice air conditioned cab with radio playing! Take care, I like your videos even if U have to use the old camera!
Watching from south Mississippi - and envious of your mild temps! We're still in the mid-to-high 90s.
Mike, would like to suggest that you you try a portable scale under the trailer I don't know how much a chord weighs but I believe it would make short work of loading the dump trailer ... just a thought !
You'll be at 100K soon - Dad would have had my brothers and me spreading stone with shovels and dressing up with a garden rake - I love your method !!
I love your videos....been watching from the start....thanks for sharing....watching from Memphis Tennessee
I think you’ll love that dump trailer. I live about 40 minutes north of where you bought it. Mortiz is top of the line quality. I have been thinking about buying one myself, but after hearing more of your feedback I think I will be making the purchase. Great video
Next time time you get shure pack for you drive way you will have to use the dump part of the tail gate and chain it so it only opens an inch or two. That is a great way to spread it out. That is about the amount of material from the pit I bring home . once in a while a new operator will dump 6,000 pounds in my one ton . Here in NH I am paying about $30.00 for a load like that. Guess I am lucky. That is a great trailer and love all the toys. What comes next. a pole building or Melissa"s pool. LOL Enjoy the videos.
I'm from Livingston, Louisiana and i've been watching for about three months now. I try to watch every video as soon as you post them. This is my first time to comment and i have to tell you i love the videos with your family and all the projects, it's great.
Live in Peachtree City Georgia. Barn, property, tractor, and of course wood splitter are in Roanoke Alabama where we are retiring in about a year.
South Georgia. I'm envious of your weather. It has been around 100 deg. everyday this week.
Pine Grove Pennsylvania Lo e watching the videos
Nice to be able to get stone when you want it, no delivery charge.
Sorry about the "unfortunate incident" with the favorite camera!
I have stupid question - Could you back the trailer up near the tree, tilt it enough to start the stone falling and drive the truck forward to lay it out some? Or is the trailer not to be moved when in dump position?
Wow. Looking at some of these posts where people are from is pretty cool. Makes me being only about 3 hrs from you seem boring. Hanover, Pa here.

you guys ROCK
Ah, Saturday morning. Stressed about the car. Good time to relax and watch someone get things done.
Mike, I've owned three dump trailers and found that lining the inside with OSB saves alot of wear n tear n dents on the sides. If I get another I might consider a liner because the bottom dents very easy also.
From Lares, Puerto Rico
Auburn ky. Love your video!!!
Love your videos. Usually watch every morning while i eatg breakfast here in New Hampshire. Hope to see you at Paul Bunyan show on Sunday.
For things to stay looking new they should be under a shed my first tractor faded by sitting out in weather built the shed 24x60 all my implements and tractor are under it. I know it’s easy to tell you what to do but from experience it keeps you equipment looking new but it took me ten years to build mine 😬thanks for making these videos really appreciate y’all
I think a shed at the old orchard for the agricultural implements would be good and then another for the sawmill and tractors near the house.
How about starting a Go Fund me for the Morgans, Sometimes it takes Money to put up buildings,
Buildings don't make money equipment does, I do agree with you that equipment lasts longer under cover.
But in my personal opinion if U want to offer advise on how someone else does things, do as the old saying"Put your money where your mouth is".
I think the Morgans are progressing just fine.
Once again this is just my personal opinion.
Mike
mike holubek in this case, the advice is worthy and plenty. The Morgan's have their own money.
@@politicallyatheist1379 i stand by my previous statement, We all know equipment is prettier when its under cover, but cover cost$.
Its not a question of Money it's the idea that its easy to spend other peoples money.
If people don't like the priorities to Earn Money B4 Spending Money then gofundme is the way to spend others money.
Just my Personal Opinion here, Nothing More Nothing Less.
P.S.
Disclaimer; I am not related to, nor have I not even met the Morgans yet.
I do enjoy the videos and the ideas.
Galax, Virginia. Love your dump trailer! That's nice!
Great to have space to organize. I love the way you move implements....sure beats hooking up a three point hitch. Looking good Mike.
Sorry about your camera.....”incidents happen!”
Mount. Holly NC like the tractor videos
Super watch! Amazing what you guys are accomplishing with the proper equipment! From Baton Rouge, La. GEAUX TIGERS!😀
Hi great show just started watching a week or so ago, you are both easy to listen to and it sure beats watching adds on normal channels.
We have a small acreage ( 150 ) in southeast South Australia and a bobcat / landscaping business.
Love what you do and love watching the background when Mike delivers wood we have been to Virginia and North Carolina had a ball loved the whole trip, similar country , our son in law is from Olney Maryland
cheers Iain & Joanne Hetherington
Penola, South Australia
Enjoy watching all your post, started last winter . The first one was the segment about the ponds frozen drain pipe. Been a fan since. Steve here in Indianapolis.
I just had tri-axle loads of 2B and Limestone dust(sand) delivered here in S.W. Pa...it was $410 for the 2B...the sand was cheap...less than $300. Same guy delivered back to back...about 12 miles from the quarry...if picked up, the 2B is about $14/ton & Limestone sand is around $8/ton...
you can look it up online...Bullskin Quarry.
Just found your site like it a lot so far
Put a double layer plywood on top of disk and put your least used piece on top big space saver
Mike just a couple of thoughts buddy. First you should consider getting a high quality spray in bed liner put in the dump trailer. Second may be a good idea to tie a rope to attachments when Melissa is helping you. So she can help without being to close. I know you are extremely careful buddy. Hello to my buddy Me. Hunter. God bless
I think the dump trailer industry is going to experience an uptick in sales for the fourth quarter.
I am binge watching your videos here in Round Rock, Texas.
If RK is going to let you keep all those attachments, a pole barn is mandatory (right next to the pool).
Just a beautiful day here in North East PA
MIKE, yard lookin good , less grass to cut! Great operator skills!
Great job and looks fantastic...That Moritz is the BOMB !!!!!
Be safe and God Bless
Love watching y’alls videos. I’m from Franklinton Louisiana.
never miss a video I am from Northern/Ireland
David Hamilton Someday I’m gonna visit 🇮🇪 Ireland. The way the young women there talk with their Irish accent really gets me going.
I’m almost out of soap 🧼 also.
I’ll bring home some soap when I get the girl. 👍
Bruce LakeFrom Fort Wayne, IN great site
Dumptrailer would be good with a spreaderdoor (? one that opens a Little and opening controlled by chains) in the back. Seems to be a great trailer with strong build.
Just a friendly word to Melissa "never stand between something that is in motion and something stationary" . Learned that when rigging steel to build buildings. Great videos!
