- Today was spent preparing for cold weather and wood cutting! Fueling, Greasing, and Removing Ice with the Kubota MX 5400. I also installed the Wallenstein Skidding Winch and turned the tractor into a skidder.

We live in Western Pa. and Have around 100 Acres of Land, About 1/2 is ours the rest is my moms, We have 4 kids and one grandchild, 3 Golden Retrievers and one Cat. We enjoy working on our property and making impovements. We sell firewood and soon will be selling hardwood lumber.
That's cool helping family close to you. I think would be cool to meet you guys some time. Was great watching you too again!!
Mike your a lucky man to have a wife like Melissa, allowing you to keep all those great toys and still smiling all the time.
I just got back from ice fish Saturda and Sunday it was -20 when strted fishing today. Good thing we have a heater and pop up tent. We were in northern Minnesota.I I was with fourmen that worked for me as a reunion. Great time and getting to see them again.
Gotta get the odds and ends out of the way to get to the bigger stuff that you want to get done!!👍👊
Amazing, drive up and drop off. Handles are in the right spot to drop and run. Camera in perfect spot ready as well. Well done.
I made skid shoes for my rear blade, holds it about 3/4” off gravel driveway.
Helps keep gravel out of yard.
Great episode as always!!
Mike - Been away for a bit. Am now spending the rest of the winter in Florida where it was 73 today. Left weather in the 0 to minus temps overnight in Iowa. Snow should be gone by the time we get back in May. Have a day sir, and enjoyed catching up today. Congrats to Eva on her lifting capabilities. Am guessing the boys don't give her too much trouble. Blessings to you and your family. Hi to Melissa, Hunter, Hannah, and Eva.
Another good one. Enjoyed the fact that a husband and wife can have some fun even when things are going as smoothly as you would want.
Fargo, ND here....and it was negative 40 with windchill today and the high for the day tomorrow is -20 with windchill of -50. Thanks for the vid!
Hard week for picnic tables. My husband, while scraping paths in our yard, caught the corner of the platform of our picnic table, movbed it about 2 ft. before knew what he was doing . His motto is if you never mess up, you aren't doing anything! Have a day from southern WV
Nice of you to take care of your sister's drive, your mom's, Levi's and neighbor Cliff. Back when I heated with wood, my brother was always searching for trees and doing all the sawing. I never, not once asked him. He said one day, my drive has washed out, I'm having a load of gravel delivered tomorrow. Instantly, I knew I would be helping, it's just natural. You're a good man Mike. You will always be respected and thought of as a good man and great friend. It's also sweet of you to get Melissa to operate your excavator, I'm sure she's gonna enjoy that! It's gotten cold at night here in Hickory NC, but it's in mid to upper 40's during the day. No snow at all this winter.
Happy Sawturday Morgan's and friends.
Starting the day here @ 0°
Gonna get cold this week. Be safe and we'll see you all down the road! Have a day!
Morning Michael ;-)
@@badcat4707 Morning friend. Happy Caturday. Lol
Great video! It was cool seeing you use all the different attachments.
💥 Love how Melissa tries to blame Mike after she obviously left the picnic table in the way. 😂
*Keep on tractoring!* 👍
Lol wait till she sees this
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Hope I’m not in too much trouble. 😂😂😂
Hey Mike, you can put a piece of grey PVC pipe (3") with a slit lengthwise and slip it over your blade. Helps prevent catching on things and also keeps from blading up your gravel driveway.
I like that you added the video # to the end and did not get rid of it... kind of like your brand!
Stay warm up there my friends.
75f and sunny today here in Florida.
Mighty humble of you to admit that Mike. Funny thing was, before you even got close to the picnic table, I thought to myself, you might wanna move that.
Lol... spotter is always the boss.... Stuff happens though. At least it wasnt the new building or a car. STAY SAFE!!
good to see the tractors going again
Good morning! 27F and severe clear here in NC this morning for our walk.
That table was in the worst place, between the house you were conscious of and the goal post Melissa was handling, and right in a blind spot over the tire. But, as many have mentioned, it’s not like you have no replacement boards, or if you don’t, a little time on the sawmill can remedy that! Glad it wasn’t worse. No blood, no broken bones.
Y’all have a good Super Bowl weekend!
Morgan, I worked for 25 yrs. w/a farm co. where always used a 2-way hyd cylinder in place of the top-link,third link, etc. Works great!!
Nobody is perfect Mike - even you!!!!!!!!!!!! Quick repair will resolve. Stay safe and well!!
Mike, get a plow blade for the front of the tractor. Much easier than using the rear blade and you can use the 3rd function to change blade angle.
It's nice that you have the equipment and the time to take care of your extended family.
Greg from northern Michigan. Mike was listening to Ice Ice Baby (by Vanilla Ice) on the tractor radio and was distracted by lip syncing the words while driving 😁 Luckily the tractor tire was not hurt and now Melisa gets a brand new swimming pool picnic table in the spring !
I am cold just watching yah ,mercy ,down on the coast ,we don't get temps like that! it's 48 right now ,we have a lot of sand that kind of looks like snow ,LOL .We do have wind ,always wind !
No big deal about that picnic table, Mike - It'll buff right out...
Cold here M&M headed your way. Plowing here now after a quit winter so far. I hate that when I bump something and break it. Ticks me off. Have a great weekend 👍✊
Morning Bob
@@HallnoutMhall Goog morning to ya
Boy have I missed y'alls channel this past month... but I came for the sub-compact and you don't seem to us it much anymore. But I'll drop in every now-and-then.
Preparing for the cold here in Michigan also. Be safe with your outdoor projects. Looking forward to seeing the conveyor used with the big wood bags.
Have a day everyone.
Bruce from Mason Michigan
My home is in Gregory!
You guys seem to have so much fun with each other and that so good. God Bless.
Thanks for all the great vids. When you talk @ cold , I know when you minuses i know that is cold for you . Here in Edmonton Alberta ,Canada we are in Celsius degrees where 0 is freezing etc. We have been unusually warm but changing now . We were -25 o C today with - 35oC wind chill . Mon. Is to be - 45oC with the wind chill . Keep in mind -40 oC is the same as -40 oF . So will be pretty Cold. We have motor block heaters on our vehicles but takes a while to get things warmed an fluids
can jell very easy. Supposed to be like this for a couple weeks , so will watch your vids to feel warm
Thanks stay safe.
Looking forward to next videos. Having a large propery and horses, there is always a lot to do. Your videos help me get motivated when tired.
Hello Mike, Gary here. I just received the “Outdoors With The Morgans” coffee mug. Thumbs up 👍 to the packaging. It could not have been more secure. I just had my first brewed cup of coffee in it as I watched your latest video. Which by the way, was great. I like seeing how you and Melissa work so well together. Thanks again for offering the coffee mugs. I will enjoy it for a long time to come. You and your family take care and we will see you in your next video. 😊
I agree, a rear blade is best in snow! Mike you are right, I tried the Dot's pretzels and they are the best pretzels I have ever eaten!
Hi Mike, glad to see you use the blade. I do have to admit, using a blade can be tricky. You have to manually adjust the angle, the drop (non horizontal angle) and the off perpendicular angle to be just right to get it to do what you want the blade to do for you. You have three different angles to work with. Maybe you could do a video on that? I learned all I wanted to learn trying to work out some soft parts of a trail. Made a huge mess and got a lot of exercise getting on and off the tractor making adjustments. Cheers!
Looking forward to seeing the skidding winch in action. It makes pulling logs look so effortless. Thanks for great content.
Good morning everyone. 24º in Kansas City now. Waiting for it to start snowing, good day to get in the Suburban and head to Costco or Sams to avoid the typical crowds on Saturday. Stay safe, be humble & kind and have a day.
Good morning Phil
@@HallnoutMhall Hello Michael. Has anyone heard from Old Man Fred?
@@rphiliprogers you know when I was messaging you, I was thinking same thing. I have his number. I'll txt him.
@@HallnoutMhall Tell him hello from Elizabeth and myself.
@@rphiliprogers Will do sir. Waiting to hear back from him. Tell Elizabeth hello from indiana and give her a big warm hug for us. Be safe.
Yes......I got my Stihl 500i today!!!! Thank you for the videos! Luv ya's from Kentucky!!!
Good morning Hunter ;-) and family too ;-) Happy Caturday !!!!
I often wondered the same question. “If you had ever hit anything??” Question answered. 😂
Glad you didn’t hit Mellissa.
He has me trained well - always be watching
You two make a great team!
I have been watching the channel for over two years I have never seen you hit anything Mike. You are getting more professional at using your equipment not that you weren't already an expert. Thanks for sharing your video with is. Hello Hunter. Ed
Yeah me too Mike, I can’t wait for spring either !.
Mike, I remodeled our porch stair railing with the Can-Am Defender while plowing; ripped the whole railing off and took a divot out of the 8x8 post it was anchored to. No sense doing any job half way! :)
Hey. I've broken stuff like clothes line with the bucket.lol I'm in New Brunswick and we're having the mildest winter in a very long time. I'm 67 and I've never seen this.
Love seeing your transparency I was beginning to think that you never made a mistake I watched and questioned if you bumped a camera once because the next time it cleared higher my dad always said the only one who doesn't make a mistake is someone who doesn't do anything
Having a Day here in Kabul, Afghanistan. Not nearly as cold though!
Jack, thanks for serving. Take care and hope to have you home safe.
Be safe Brother Jack!!
Keep your head on a swivel. Be safe.
Jack,
Thousand yard stare!
God bless you Jack
The man that doesn't make mistakes isn't doing anything.
Truth
That is the absolute TRUTH!
Good morning Morgan’s!! Nice day today in Southern NJ, prepping for another round of snow tomorrow. Have a day!
Hi Mike and Melissa and family. Have watched every one of your videos since day one.. We live in Grande Prairie Alberta and tonight at midnight the temperature is supposed to be -49 Fahrenheit Its cold here today thoroughly enjoy every one of your videos. Great job guys.
Good Morning Morgans, Eish it looks cold. So when you say you waiting for the cold weather what does that mean? It's really interesting to see all the form water takes in you videos. Please make a video when the ice melts and do you have water erosion during that time or have you made previsions for that before hand. Like I said I have never experienced snow or icy conditions at all. So it would be an interesting video to see.
Have a wonderful weekend and keep warm from an over cased Cape Town. ❤❤
I JUST LOVE IT WHEN MELISSA GOES OF SCRIPT AND TELLS IT LIKE IT IS ( SHE SLAYS ME ) YOU ALWAYS BRING A SMILE ON ME
Oh man Mike, you didn't hurt the tractor, did ya?
Yeah, it's going to be cold here tonite, forecast 48* f in Houston. Might have to put my tee shirt on to go outside!
Yeah Mike - “lighten up “......go girl!
Have a day Morgans! God Bless Y’all!❤️👍😊
When I first got my Kubota, I was working in the garden and I backed into the deer fence. My wife screamed "What were you thinking!!!" . As the years pass I often repeat that to her. She gets it now.
Just a thought, Mike,
I have a similar set-up, utility tractor with a pull-behind, 3 point hitch angle blade, similar to yours.
When I plow snow, I like to put all my snow off to one side of the road, the down hill side. I find it keeps the ditch on the uphill side clear for when things melt out in the spring.
Winter, 1987. I’m on base at Great Lakes Naval Station in Illinois. Temperature is around -22° and a wind chill around -45°. That was the most miserable time of my life.
I use a back blade to clean snow from in front of my garage also. I open the garage doors just Incase my clumsy foot falls off the clutch pedal.. 😁
In Wisconsin we are expecting -15° with daytime highs around zero. You just have to adjust to it.
Yikes
Hi Mike, cold temps here in northern Alberta as well -40 C with the windchill -48 C
Hey Mike, you should be able to find some wood around there to fix the picnic table.
Summer content:Making a new picnic table with lumber from sawmill
We have a Kubota L3240 and have used a 7ft rear blade to clear our 1/3 of a mile stone driveway for 8 years now.. Works great, I windrow off to the low side of the road and one thing I would suggest is to take the rear pin out and let the blade float side to float side to side so it doesn't dig in to the driveway as much 😉
Get ready its 12:30 pm on Saturday and so far it was 2 degrees at 6 am and now it is 16 degrees here in Indiana.
You had one job ... one job ... and you ran into the picnic table 😲
She had one job, giving him directions
Laughing!
Great video Mike and Melissa
All i have ever used for grading gravel driveways is my york rake.
... things happen ... but at least was small and can be fixed, when have time ... my neck of the woods dropped to 56 (very unusual) and heard fm my friends in Butler that it was 21 there, I am glad I’m here and not there! ...
My rear blade is my primary snow/ice removal tool. I also use it in the garden for leveling land, making furrows, and mounding rows. Very versatile tool. If you own a tractor, you need a blade.
0 in Minneapolis. Just thinking that I was missing you out in the woods with the skidding winch so looking forward to it. Stay warm.
Once it starts !!
Have a great day everyone!😊👍👍👍 were getting cold and snow to again . I'm ready for March to .!!!
I enjoy most of your posts.
This one was very good. I enjoyed your hitting the picnic table al.ost as much as Melissa did.
All day I've been wishing I had some of the toys you have.
I fell in love with a back plow when I worked for a Bible camp in Maryland. I did everything with that back plow.
Check out video #631 for the skidding logs.
I like a snow thrower better, Mike it is less work overall. I wish you would put one on the small tractor & try it out?
Did you get a new oven yet???? Would be a nice anniversary gift???
Good video Mike. Thank you
It is North Dakota here, high temp tomorrow is -10. Honestly though, tomorrow will be the coldest day we've had so far this year, it's been pretty nice overall. Looks like we're going to have a pretty chili week, but your right, it's already Feb, and we're moving in the right direction.
love your machine park! very nice equipment yo have
When you have a tractor then you also have to have a lot of other hobbies too, Mike! ;D
The northern wind is cold no matter what direction it's coming from! - Old saying in Sweden. Haha!
Love y'all, God bless from Social Circle, Ga.
Just don’t hit the hobby barn. At 7pm on Saturday it’s -8 with an expected low of -18. It cold here in Minnesota. Have a Day!
In the spring you will need to bring the gravel back to the road bed!
I have a friend who lives in northern MN, and they sent me a weather map for the entire region that all the temps were going to be -50 or below for the HIGHS. That is cold
It is going to be really cold here in North Texas next week too, 18° for a low one morning next week!
Always happens that way. You jinx’s yourself Mike. Comes in three’s. 😳😁😆
Your big doe is watching over the fawn, about 15 yards downhill curled and leaning against the tree. (12:03) It's a typical baby deer, frozen like a statue when danger is around waiting for its mother to signal everything is ok.
Mike, you might want to invest in a hydraulic top link. I was so happy with mine that I've ordered a hydraulic side link to work with it. It's amazing how much better a box blade, rake or scraper blade will work. Hooking up 3-point attachments, even if their on uneven ground, is an absolute breeze.
Goodmorning Morgans and everyone watching. Sweet way to clear snow mike nice job. I see your getting ready for the big logs this weekend are we going to see Melissa use the excavator im sure she's going to do a great job, that will be a great video to watch you both put a big hole in that pile of wood cant wait. Thanks for sharing
I bought a box blade when I bought my tractor because I had a blade with my last tractor thinking it would work on my B 2601 but it is too small for it. It’s only a four footer and don’t cover the tires when angled. I’m thinking of selling it and buying a 6 footer for my tractor. Yours is sized right for your tractor and works great. Thank you for the video. Wayne
Mike that doe deer decoy, I slipped out there and strategically placed it there 2 years ago.
Mike,I see a new picnic table being build in your future,just be prepared for Melissa to keep reminding you about it,,,,ooops,we all miscalculate distance...every once and awhile..lol. Have a beautiful day Morgan's...and keep on Shining..!!!!
I love my Land Pride rear blade. Great for snow removal!!!
Mark Nichols, Everett Pa. I enjoy watching your channel. I work in the oilfield in ND. My wife and I had a firewood business years ago. I had a Yanmar B50 excavator with a thumb and Timberwolf commercial log splitter and firewood conveyor. 16' Bri Mar dump trailer to deliver firewood and haul excavator. Can't forget 4 chain saws from trim saw to 28" bar on big saw. Alot of similarities watching your channel. Mark
Wait, is that Melissa at 2:10 with a smile on her face as she is looking at the table thinking “yea right, he doesn’t break anything”?
For plowing, I prefer a tractor without a loader, chains and a wide and heavy rear blade with hydraulics. It can be used to even stack snow in piles by swinging the blade around.
It’s life and a part of working , things happen to a person working ,nothing much happens to a couch potato 🥔. Enjoyable,content 👍
I remember working the Pipeline on the North slope can how sweating at 30 degrees
Amazing, how the camera just happened to zeroed in on the picnic table when the “accident” occurred.
Great video, Mike. Thanks for posting.
Don't forget time change is just around the corner!
Good morning Morgan’s -16 here in Minneapolis this morning
Thanks for the laughs today .
