I'm sure this has been said many times, but it's just awesome that you take the time each day to take Huntman to Sheetz. That trip probably means the world to him.
Hi Mike. I live in Kingston Ontario Canada and you have way more snow than we have had this winter ❄️. I love it when we get to see Melissa and Hunter in your videos. Not that there's anything wrong with your show. I pray that you will be safe and warm this winter.
Mike thanks for the input on the W-D 40 Dry Lube. I will secure some and use it on my machine tool machined surfaces. The mill, shear, brake drill press tables and columns all can use help. If HQ works for you, use it. Your reluctance to implement indicates uncertainity. If it were my decision i might use Navy Terms, Bridge, CIC ( COMBAT INFORMATION CENTER), Power Shop, Boiler Room, Engine Room, Power Distribution Center for examples. A shipmate from the 60's called me yesterday. Had no idea his call would create these thoughts today. My wife told me this morning as we age our mantrs is: " I never thought I would think the thoughts that I think today when was living life yesterday" I gotta tutn that mantra into a song! Thank you for presenting a slice of your life.
Good morning Mike! You should look into putting rubber coin flooring in your enclosed trailer. I've been in the motorsports industry for 30 yrs and have worked out of dozens of trailers, and the rubber coin holds much better than paint and still looks new years later
Good morning Mike. Watching this video brings back memories of my childhood growing up in the snow about 45 miles SE of you. Joined the military in 1980 and to this day still work for the Federal government in a civilian capacity down south in the warmer climate of NC. I make it back home often, but rarely in the winter months. Enjoy your content and never miss an episode. Best of luck to you and your family in the coming year!
So happy to see you properly obeying the stop sign! :) Glad the big storm missed you. We're getting ice in southern Missouri. Lost power for 2+ hours. but all is well for now. It's going to get bitter cold for a few days following this current ice storm, so the ice will be with us for a few days. Please be careful driving to West Virginia.
Hello Mike and Melissa! We will be getting your storm tonight. Missing us to the south. Only a few inches predicted. Hope you guys stay warm. Have a fantastic week!
Good Sunday morning Morgans and friends. Hope everyone has a blessed day and that the storms have minimal impact on those in it's path. Remain positive everyone. Have a day and we'll see you all down the road.......Thanks Mike.
Hello Mike, I have a WD-40 story I thought you would like. An old boss I had raised show horses. They would occasionally get caught by a fence or gate latch and get cut. The wound would heal, but the hair would grow in a different color through the scar. One day, a horse got cut by an open gate that was sticking. So he was there with WD-40 spraying the latch and hinge to free it up. The horse was curious as to what he was doing and nosing around while he was spraying the hinge. So he thought a little squirt of WD-40 on the wound would scare him away to leave him alone. Didn't work, but afterward when the wound healed, he noticed the hair was the same color as the surrounding hair. Tested it again on the next injury with the same results. So he sprays all wounds with WD-40 now to keep the show horses showing without scars to take away from their looks. Go Figure?
Mike……this is why I moved to Arizona. When I worked for an oil company I went to work at 4 AM every day. It took 20 mins to get to work. It started to snow at 4 AM and by 8 AM there was 10” on snow on the ground. No one but me got in that day. It took me 2 hours to get home. Cars stranded in the middle of the road and no roads plowed yet???? Same thing the exact same scenario the next week. That made my decision to move. Never even thought about moving back. I had a driveway 140 ft. Long. Much too long to shovel by had. At the street it was a narrow street with parking on both sides. What a job just to get to work in the morning. If I EVER want to drive in snow again I can just drive up to Flagstaff, have fun then drive back to Mesa AZ?
Morning Morgan's from snowy Western Ny. Currently 20 degrees and 14 inches of snow. Being in the rust belt I've been using WD-40 on everything for years, great product. As far as plowing snow goes I have edge tammers on my bucket, leaves about 1 inch of snow to crust over and doesn't hurt the gravel. Have a great day everyone.
Mike, for your "snow blade" take a section of 1 1/2 " PVC pipe, cut a slit in it and attach it to the bottomof your blade across the whole bottom and it will not pick up gravel when it is not frozen. I did that on my JD Gator and it works perfectly, you might also try that on your plow blade. Try to qwork with warm PVC pipe when puting it on the blade, it is more flexible that way.
Mike, I split a piece of 3" PVC pipe lengthwise and slipped it on the bucket edge. It worked great for pushing snow and not tearing up our stone driveway. Just a suggestion that worked for me. could do the same for the back blade.
I used 2 1/2” steel pipe i got from the sprinkler fitters at work on my side x side blade and it works well and added some weight to the blade as well.
I agree its so much better when the stone is frozen when plowing snow. Its looking like the storm moving more to the south might only bring us 8" topps. Glad to see Hunter putting a coat on i thought foresure hed been in a teeshirt.
Neighbor Cliff needs an "I" on the right side of his pickup. It's only a DENAL. It pains me to watch the gravel being pushed around, but then you have something to do in the spring. I'm always jealous of a tractor with a cab, as mine is an open station. Very interesting points on WD40 at the end. Great information as always!! HELLO HUNTER!!! I hate wearing a coat as well!
Nice editing Mike at the Stop sign!!! 😂. Enjoy your content daily. Look forward to it before I start my day. We are getting a cold front here in Hill Country of Central Texas. Warming up my Kubota LX2610 to move some aggregate. Working with wife to cover plants and cover pool equipment for this week’s cold front. Nothing but colder weather and nothing like your getting in your neck of the woods. I cleaned my pot belly stove glass yesterday and prepped with OWTM fire starter. Used your ammonia/water mix and a newspaper. Worked like a champ! Stay warm! Steve in Bertram, Tx.
Mike, I just wanted to give you a weather report from us folks in North TX. This time of year the weather is very volatile. This morning started in the mid-60s. The wife went for her morning constitutional. It was 64 degrees. By the time she had returned to the house, it was in the mid-40s. The temps had dropped around 20 degrees in 30 minutes. The winds are out of the north at 15 - 35. So, we are getting our 1st taste of winter. We called these Blue Northers. So, I'm fixing-to ( TX talk) make some homemade chili. Seems like good weather for it. I wanted to wish you a blessed New Year as well. BTW, I've got a RU as well. It's 2018 with a little over 20K. We old folks don't drive much as everything is close. Also, I wanted to thank you for all the great videos. They make my day. Health issues keep me from doing as much as I would like. So, thanks again.
Thank you for addressing. Somebody else has said that’s why you weren’t using it. Stay safe thanks for the video. Appreciate your patience with my criticism. God bless from Missouri.
Thanks for the brief info on the WD 40 background. I use that dry lube on my table saw (and saw blades) as well as other shop tools with a machined surface like lathe, planer, jointer, & band saw. I also found it works great when you spray I spray it on the door sills of my Jeep to keep the rubber door gasket from sticking or freezing in the winter.
Mike i went with my parents to my dad's sisters house to visit one time when I was about 25 and had been working hard for about 10 yrs already and my joints were hurting a lot every night. Well my aunt had a can of WD-40 sitting beside her chair on her end table and she picked it up and sprayed some on her hands and rubbed some into her elbows. My dad looked at me and said don't get any ideas. I said I'm not but does it work. She said it sure does. Pretty quick to.. I never did try it because dad said it goes into your blood stream and who knows what it doing to her system but she was 90 so you couldn't tell her anything all she cared was it stopped her pain . But then I used 16 ibuprofen a day. 4 every 6 hrs for the pain I was in. By the time I was 50 I had right knee replacement and right shoulder replaced twice then left knee replaced 8 yrs later and the left shoulder needs replaced but right one didn't work so not messing with it but it's painful. So maybe I should have use the lubricant who knows.
You really need a snow pusher to save your driveway. I have an Express Steel XP30 84” now but when I owned my B2650 I had their XP24 60” and the adjustable skid shoes and the adjustable rubber cutting edge were key. The rubber cutting edge swipes surfaces clean even if uneven but doesn’t dig into the stones too bad when not frozen, When frozen ground, man it just leaves a nice clean surface and doesn’t spill over the sides to require second passes to clean up those little wind rows. I see they bother you as much as they do me haha. I got mine both with the welded on back drag as well which also has the same thick rubber cutting edge. I can clean right up to the garage doors back dragging and then push perpendicular to clean everything up. Up here in Northern Vermont we get a lot of snow and I will never use anything else. I haven’t used chains but my R14’s are starting to to show some wear so I made have to add those before the next bid wet storm. You won’t regret it … I promise you. Love your channel,
Good morning, Mike I love snow. But I'm from the south, and I am absolutely aware of how good we have it down here. Between the slick roads, ice, plowing, salt, and everything else that goes along with snow. Nice to look at, but you wouldn't want it at your house. Again, great video
Good morning sir. I just wanna say I still laugh my butt off every time you freeze frame at the stop sign 😂😂😂😂. Have a blessed day, hod bless America 🇺🇸
You know he's going to freeze frame while he's still approaching, but it's funny anyway when it happens. Now, if I can only find someone in the comments who's triggered by it.....
We are getting the same snow mix here in MO. But not thrilled with the frigid temperatures! Single digits at night and low 20’s during the day. Stay safe and warm.
I'm a big fan of dry lubes and silicone-based lubes. Silicone lubes can also be effective high temperature lubes. If you're shoveling snow, wipe your shovel down with a dry silicone lube. Amazing how much it helps keep the shovel clean. Clean the door gaskets on your vehicles. Then wipe them down with dry silicone. Almost completely stops ice build-up and sticking in the winter. Don't get me wrong, I have every size and shape can of lube, protectant and rust inhibitor/penetrant known to man. But...When I'm working around plastics, rubber or areas I don't want all gooped up, I turn to silicone and dry lubes. Silicone grease, dielectric and food grade, are also excellent lubes.
WD-40 is interesting. It’s also changed formula so it’s not the same thing anymore. It used to have a lot of seed oil in it in the military used it to preserve wood on guns and rifles and other things to waterproof and clean and lubricate. It was kind of the original CLP. I remember my dad and grandfather telling me that it was great especially on wood because the linseed oil would soak in and then dry up so it wasn’t greasy to the touch and you can use it to spray and clean machinery and Gun stuff out and it would still lube but not leave a bunch of thick grease in there to soak up even more dirt as bad as other oils, but I don’t know how it works today because they’ve changed what’s in it a couple of times.
Mike, you live in such a beautiful part of our country. I love watching your videos and especially when they show the area where you live. I live way down here in New Orleans and it is just not beautiful like up North.
I love a good storm so I hunker down. I have a cabin a little way away- I’m torn between staying home to batten down the hatches, or go to the cabin and get snowed in there. Keep up the good work! Jeff
Big Mike .... Love seeing you use that back blade. I've got an old Ford back blade,,, that's how I do our road system.. I spin it 180 degrees and use it like a dozer for banks... That back blade can do a million jobs once you learn the tricks to setting it up... On to WD 40... You don't fish much but spray a lure with it, and you catch fish! I used to spray the complete underside of my truck with it.. no rust for many years... A gallon is fairly cheep compared to fluid film which people use... love it for guns to... air tools... plastic like your wheeler... One more thing, hydraulic cylinder on your rear blade and remote hydraulics on the rear of the tractor.... You will find it makes that rear blade alot easily to use... Great Video!!
Mike the hand held snow blower is great for cleaning off your equipment. What about your big turbo blower that you us to blow leaves with your tractor. Bet it would clear that like fluffy snow.
Mike have you considered using spray or roll on bed liner material for your covered trailer, a little more work but much more durable than paint plus some brands offer different colors.
Hey Mike, Have you seen the paddle wheel attachment for your weed eater? They are great for sweeping stone back out of the grass. You can also sweep up the nuts. Ron
Good Sunday morning Mike. WD-40 is a great product. I spray WD-40 on my 4 wheeler plow before I plow snow. The 4 wheeler is in my heated garage and if I don’t spray WD-40 on the plow the snow sticks to the plow as it is warm and will collect snow and freeze onto the plow until the plow cools down to the outside temp. Looking forward to the cabin visit. You will have some serious snow to move there if the forecast plays out.
Mike, I appreciate your taking time to look at the house even though your not an inspector. You have experience that matters. As for house prices. 😮 I wish we could buy a house for that. Both of our kids bought starter homes in the last 2 years. Prices cooled because of interest rates and they had savings to take advantage. But both were over $500k for starter homes that needed lots of updates. It is the time we are in. (We are on the Left Coast) but we are Right politically.
Aero-Kroil is my go to for those really stubborn fasteners, we used it on the airplanes when I was a mechanic for a local commuter airline back in mid 90's. If you can find some, try it works great for penetrating and loosening stubborn nuts and bolts. They also have one with graphite, that one keeps all of my lock cylinders working smoothly throughout these cold nasty months.
Snow removal is very gratifying for me. I own a John Deere 1025 with a bucket, snow pusher, and a blower. I live in Minnesota and we have not had any snow to amount to anything. We still have 3-1/2 months left but I enjoy having options for snow management. No we do not enjoy ice.... unless it is in our beverages....

The old infamous Stop Sign, you stopped I saw it. Gets me every time. Have a day.
LOVE the stop sign!!!! Nobody can criticize your driving. AWESOME
0 to 20mph in a milisecond from that stop sign! 😅
Kabotas have great brakes

don't mean for tractors
Hi Mike. I live in Kingston Ontario Canada and you have way more snow than we have had this winter ❄️. I love it when we get to see Melissa and Hunter in your videos. Not that there's anything wrong with your show. I pray that you will be safe and warm this winter.
I absolutely love how you handle the stop sign! I saw a perfect stop. I did. It was text book! Smile.
Leaf blowing snow off tractor tires you're about to plow with...heartwarming to know I'm not alone!
My favorite part was the “stop” at the stop sign. Love it!
It’s not street legal so he doesn’t have to stop😂
Mike thanks for the input on the W-D 40 Dry Lube. I will secure some and use it on my machine tool machined surfaces. The mill, shear, brake drill press tables and columns all can use help.
If HQ works for you, use it. Your reluctance to implement indicates uncertainity. If it were my decision i might use Navy Terms, Bridge, CIC ( COMBAT INFORMATION CENTER), Power Shop, Boiler Room, Engine Room, Power Distribution Center for examples.
A shipmate from the 60's called me yesterday. Had no idea his call would create these thoughts today. My wife told me this morning as we age our mantrs is: " I never thought I would think the thoughts that I think today when was living life yesterday"
I gotta tutn that mantra into a song!
Thank you for presenting a slice of your life.
I almost spit my coffee out at the stop sign. I loved it.
I did spit mine; managed to miss the key-board but
Nice trick using the blade in reverse to minimize stone removal. Thanks Mike.
Good morning Mike! You should look into putting rubber coin flooring in your enclosed trailer. I've been in the motorsports industry for 30 yrs and have worked out of dozens of trailers, and the rubber coin holds much better than paint and still looks new years later

Those tractor tires are amazing. The acceleration you got off that stop sign was foraminal!
Good morning, Morgan's and friends !! Thank you for the video. Good content!
I liked the way you handled the stop sign best of all.....should hold up in court.....
So happy to see you properly obeying the stop sign! :) Glad the big storm missed you. We're getting ice in southern Missouri. Lost power for 2+ hours. but all is well for now. It's going to get bitter cold for a few days following this current ice storm, so the ice will be with us for a few days. Please be careful driving to West Virginia.
Nothing like Sunday morning watching Morgan’s with coffee
🙂 A-Greed!
Enjoy it myself after coming back from church or before church. Depending on the weather and if the church is closed.
Blessings on this Sunday morning! HQ is perfect. HQ for work and HQ for fun!
Hello Mike and Melissa! We will be getting your storm tonight. Missing us to the south. Only a few inches predicted. Hope you guys stay warm. Have a fantastic week!

I've heard that WD-40's base ingredient is fish oil. Maybe that's why people find it has healing properties.
Good morning Hunter 👋👋and family and friends , wishing you all a peaceful Sunday 🙏🙏😸
@@badcat4707 hope you have a safe and blessed day friend. Bundle up heading out. Be safe. Thanks🙏 👍 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

I see what you mean about the trailer. Everybody thinks differently. And I think that's why I watch your videos, I like the way you think.
Love the stop sign…”stop” laugh every time!

I don’t blame you one bit about wanting to have the trailer to your liking before you start using it Mike. I am the same exact way.

The rear blade does a great job but I got a stiff neck just watching this video. Thanks for all the great videos.

I used 2 1/2” steel pipe i got from the sprinkler fitters at work on my side x side blade and it works well and added some weight to the blade as well.
Mark, I just ripped a 2" pvc for my 3pt blade. Will report how it works on our gravel after this storm system.
I do the same with Pvc, works great.
Great idea!💪🏻
That digital stop was funny. Dripping with sarcasm. My favorite e sorry of humor.
The portion concerning WD-40 is the best part of the video and I really enjoy the history. Thanks.
I agree its so much better when the stone is frozen when plowing snow. Its looking like the storm moving more to the south might only bring us 8" topps. Glad to see Hunter putting a coat on i thought foresure hed been in a teeshirt.
The freeze frame by the red octagon cracks me up 🤣
Happy New Year
i know right :) 😅
I usually 2-in rubber blade on my rear blade and I do not scratch the concrete and it works good on gravel surfaces as well
Another good video we’re getting a lot of snow here in St. Peters Missouri. Thanks for sharing.❤

Well you're right. Now that you've pointed out the bump on the ceiling of the tractor I can't stop noticing it. 😀
Mike,as usual another excellent piece of video and removing the snow ❄️ 😮😊❤
My driveway is 2 miles long. I need the first 6 inches of snow just to smooth out the bumps 😂

Your long term view for your property has worked out wonderfully. You have worked hard but you have a very nice setup all the way around.
I love a good storm so I hunker down. I have a cabin a little way away- I’m torn between staying home to batten down the hatches, or go to the cabin and get snowed in there. Keep up the good work!

Being from the Mississippi coast i look at all the work snow causes you and i decided the best snow is on a Christmas card. Have fun and stay safe!
Big Mike .... Love seeing you use that back blade. I've got an old Ford back blade,,, that's how I do our road system.. I spin it 180 degrees and use it like a dozer for banks... That back blade can do a million jobs once you learn the tricks to setting it up...
On to WD 40... You don't fish much but spray a lure with it, and you catch fish! I used to spray the complete underside of my truck with it.. no rust for many years... A gallon is fairly cheep compared to fluid film which people use... love it for guns to... air tools... plastic like your wheeler...
One more thing, hydraulic cylinder on your rear blade and remote hydraulics on the rear of the tractor.... You will find it makes that rear blade alot easily to use... Great Video!!
I use anti seize on my stove latch and hinge. Works great and a little dab will do you.
great job Mike. our favorite was the comment generator. And everyone loves WD.
I am following Ryan Hall, no relation lol. Looks like serious icing and as you say, snow on the backside. Be safe:)
Mike the hand held snow blower is great for cleaning off your equipment. What about your big turbo blower that you us to blow leaves with your tractor. Bet it would clear that like fluffy snow.
Good Sunday morning everyone!!
Good morning from Kentucky . Hope you all have a wonderful day . W are supposed to get sleet, snow and freezing rain today starting about 10 A. M .
Mike, if you have rear remotes you should put the hydraulic angling system on your rear blade, life changing, seriously!
He has it....watch the video
Looks like a great opportunity to pull out that savage blower you have and use it as a SNOWBLOWER on that dry snow…..
Loved plowing snow with the tractor at the old house. Just some about being outside and surrounded by silence.
Morning, it's beautiful looking, but I'm glad I'm in Texas
Good morning y'all !!! Have a awesome Sunday, and hello from British Columbia
Good morning! That seems to be a really nice size tractor for snow removal. Have a great Sunday!
Good morning everyone from Alabama!
Yeah we got close to 8 to 10 inches down here in ky so far calling for more tomorrow yall stay safe up there Ole buddy
The last few years I've used dry lube on my firearms, works great. Does not gum up in the cold, or attract dirt, game changer on pump actions.
Mike have you considered using spray or roll on bed liner material for your covered trailer, a little more work but much more durable than paint plus some brands offer different colors.
Hey Mike, Have you seen the paddle wheel attachment for your weed eater? They are great for sweeping stone back out of the grass. You can also sweep up the nuts. Ron
Good morning from Northeast Ohio .-1 with windchill storm staying south of Columbus as of now
I hit my regency once a month in the winter to clean it and treat it with Cristo lard! I dob
some lard on the latch as well to keep it lubed
I just can't imagine having to deal with that snow! Down here is S GA if we get an inch, we just shut down until it melts.
Nice move on stopping the vid at the stop sign. Got a chuckle out of that.
BTW Mike you should try the ABS pipe on the scrape blade trick and see how it works. I keep seeing videos this winter how people really like it.
Good Sunday morning Mike. WD-40 is a great product. I spray WD-40 on my 4 wheeler plow before I plow snow. The 4 wheeler is in my heated garage and if I don’t spray WD-40 on the plow the snow sticks to the plow as it is warm and will collect snow and freeze onto the plow until the plow cools down to the outside temp. Looking forward to the cabin visit. You will have some serious snow to move there if the forecast plays out.
You could probably use your leaf blower attachment on your tractor to blow the snow off your driveway.
Good morning a Mike. I use my blade the same way (back blading) but I rotate it 180 degrees so I plow forward. Just a note.
Good morning Mike it is Sunday here in St Louis Mo
and we are getting slammed with ice and snow 😮
Mike, I appreciate your taking time to look at the house even though your not an inspector. You have experience that matters. As for house prices. 😮 I wish we could buy a house for that. Both of our kids bought starter homes in the last 2 years. Prices cooled because of interest rates and they had savings to take advantage. But both were over $500k for starter homes that needed lots of updates. It is the time we are in. (We are on the Left Coast) but we are Right politically.
We use the dry lube on our outdoor screen tracks. Works like a champ!
I spin my back blade all the way around and then pull the snow all over our drive and trails. Works great,
Aero-Kroil is my go to for those really stubborn fasteners, we used it on the airplanes when I was a mechanic for a local commuter airline back in mid 90's. If you can find some, try it works great for penetrating and loosening stubborn nuts and bolts. They also have one with graphite, that one keeps all of my lock cylinders working smoothly throughout these cold nasty months.
Good morning Mike and family. You know how forecasts work, so as long as you're ready for snow , it misses you
Yup, here in Michigan forecasts are a joke. The great lakes make it hard to predict anything!!
Snow removal is very gratifying for me. I own a John Deere 1025 with a bucket, snow pusher, and a blower. I live in Minnesota and we have not had any snow to amount to anything. We still have 3-1/2 months left but I enjoy having options for snow management. No we do not enjoy ice.... unless it is in our beverages....
