Can you imagine doing this 100 year ago with axe and horses. Strong farmers and settlers back then!!! Great video my friend.
Sandlot was our childhood growing up! I can’t watch that movie without getting emotional! It makes my kids, who are adults, and my grand kids laugh like crazy, watching grandpa get all choked up! LMAO!
My wife and I bought 35 acres of raw land here in North Florida in December of 2017. It took us 3 1/2 years to get about an acre cleared where our home is now as well as build a driveway that is roughly 1/4 of a mile long. It was/is a lot of "work", but it's something that I enjoy doing. I call it my "therapy".
Crystal River here😊
Melissa driving the quad in the mud is a great time. Dirt washes off but it takes a while for the smiles to go away.
Hi Mike,
Been watching your channel on and off for a year now. I got 80 acres in the California foothills. Lots of work. Watching your videos always motivates me to go out and work even when I’m not feeling it.
Keep up the great work!
Love the channel. First time I got here. I imagine I missed tons of stuff. I am 71 and love to work outside. Can't wait to see more. All the best to you and your new trucks. Lucky guy. I am sure you worked for it.
My wife and I love your videos and content. We grew up in the country, and moved into the city. "Work" we want to retire soon, and are planning on moving back out in the country, within the next 8-10 years. I look very forward to that day, when we can do the same as you all. Thanks again for sharing your videos again. They always put a smile on our faces.
You are pretty dang good with that excavator. And the skid steer with the many attachments
That Chic-fil-A is just nutz in Cranberry. I hate going thru the round a bout at lunchtime....
More woods, clearing and firewood. I love it! Cleaning those trees out sure was faster than the old days of the skidding winch. Not as fun to watch, just glad to see working in the woods!
LOOKS GREAT!!!
Good Lord, I can't get any work done as I'm addicted to watching you have so much fun!
Mike, one of your best productions. The drone shot of the tree coming down was a nice touch. This was as much fun to watch as Saturday morning cartoons. You and Melissa could create a TV show. Axel is the baby and parents can put their hands in anything, right Melissa. Very nicely produced Mike!
I was thinking the same, very enjoyable…..
Yeah I had breakfast with them morgan
I'm with you Mike!!! I don't like mud either....
Yes i've had to agree with you about fall coming back quick after july Thank you for the video
Nothing like seeing a buck in velvet especially if the sun hits them just right they look like they are glowing it's a beautiful site
This one was close to dark but it still looked good lol
I had exactly the same problem with a Kubota SVL 95-2S and a Kubota root grapple. If you get "lucky" a root/branch/stick will poke through between the tines just right and that hose doesn't stand a chance of surviving. That may be a design flaw or it might just be unavoidable. I cleared about 6 acres of dead avocado trees and stumps, but it took maybe a year. There is really no such thing as burning debris here in southern California. The next thing you know the whole county would be in flames. Grinders are the only way to go but they have their own grisly dangers. All I had was the skid steer but I was glad to have it. It is a lot harder to remove stumps without the excavator. I tried an excavator one time and while it is not super easy to learn how to use a skid steer effectively an excavator is whole other problem at a higher level of difficulty. What looks easy on screen actually requires a lot of skill and coordination because of how the geometry of the 3 parts of the digging arm interact. Each part is controlled separately and it is far from simple and I have to admire the skill shown here.
Yep in the same boat.... my molar started to hurt 2 weeks ago. Bad. Got amoxicillin and pain went away. Getting a root canal today. Same as yours left lower back. Thank goodness for the quality of dental care we have in the good ole USA
What about Bob is crazy ,classic Bill Murray , Richard Dreyfus is fantastic! If only we could work that fast ,love time lapse!
Well y’all got me again! I was about to get to work outside. Then here’s another Outdoors with the Morgan’s video. What I had to do can wait a bit, lol
Good Morning Morgan's. Does anyone else think that Mike trying to get the firewood poles maneuvered around the trees, reminds them of Archie trying to get a large stick into the house.
I watch another homestead channel where they had a logging company come in and clear about 15 acres a couple years ago. They did give him credit for the logs and truckloads of pulp they took out, but he paid them the difference. I think the material they took out covered a bit less than half the cost. It was amazing watching that huge equipment fell, skid, cut logs, shred trees into a enclosed semi trailer. It was quite an operation.
Shaping Up Nicely!! Nice Work!! And Yes I Loved The Birds Eye Veiw Drone Footage Adds A Whole Different Perspective!
Keep Smiling On!!
😄👍👊❤️
What About Bob is my family’s absolute favorite movie! Watched it countless times growing up and still to this day. “I’m sailing Dr. Marvin! I’m sailing!!” 😂
Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. My oh my, that is a long video. Keep up the good work and the videos coming. Have another productive day.
I love that fast motion!! But love watching whatever!! Stay cool!!
Nice Vid!
Y’all’s conversation today was interesting. I could not understand where Melissa said sure got the shirt. My wife would love one like that!
Many years ago, my friend Donna had 22 trees in her back yard. She wanted to get rid of 12 trees. The tree serviced wanted $1,200 per tree. I'm sure the price has gone up by now. It took them a week. It was a lot of work for them but big money too. Thanks for the videos.
Good morning Morgan's and Morgan fans.
Good Morning!
👋morning
Good morning
Good morning
Just love the guitar 🎸 pickin' music you have on while clearing your future meadow site !! Who's it by, Mike ?
A shoe is from the old film camera days. A cold shoe on a camera simply mounts an accessory. A hot shoe mounts the accessory and has electrical contacts that provide a signal to the accessory (e.g. flash) synchronized to the shutter. Love your videos. PaulL
I want to complement you on the quality of your video productions.
That opening overhead shot of the new building panning over to the new clearing area was superb.
For my "time," your video shots and production is some of the best out on RUclips.
That leads me to my second thought concerning comments from people on forums ... and that's about the value of experience.
It seems that many people watch videos and conclude they have a better way of doing things.
Perhaps, from their desire to be helpful, they feel the need to offer advice even though they have strayed outside their lane of experience.
That inexperienced advice often leads to the repetition of mistakes made by others in the past ... and lessons learned the hard way.
We see a lot of that going on with public policy these days ... a failure to learn from what people have tried and failed at in the past.
I don't know if it's a kind of arrogance ... an unwillingness to accept the value of knowledge and lessons learned from those who have gone before, but I see an awful lot of damage done to society by implementation of previously tried and failed policies.
So if you want to know how to do something (clear 150 acres) and don't want to waste a lot of time, energy and money; seek out the advice of people who have experience doing it ... and avoid those with little real experience.
Good morning Morgans.
Good morning!
Awesome as always Mike !
Good afternoon Hunter 👋😸 and family and friends 😸😺
Best you tube channel! Thanks for another great video. Love the clearing job you did!
Thank you Mike, loved todays video!
Hi Mike, I enjoyed this vid. I noted before that I can watch machinery clearing and earthmoving because there is something quite satisfying and relaxing about it. It reminds me of when young having my land partly cleared, only a small acreage compared to yours. The dozer spent a few days and I did the rest with an old ferry tractor. I had no loader but the grader blade on the PTO worried the logs and stumps during the burn, till there was just a pile of ash. Regarding your tooth, you need to be aware of a condition called osteomyelitis. That is a bone infection which takes a good deal to heal and usually with complications. Please don’t let infections go untreated. That’s from a nurse who is now retired. I enjoy your family, vids, ethics so take care.
Hi Morgan's ! I own a small 3 acre plot n the woods of Ohio with a small cabin. Several years ago I wanted to clear one acre for "pasture" compared to you, mine was easy. A couple trees, sticks, pinecones, brush and a lot of jagger bushes. It took a couple weeks because it was me, my spouse and a wheel barrow and ropes. We got it done and now it is a good grazing area for deer. BUT I was thinking about how much work you have had to put into clearing your dozens of trees. Imagine what our forefathers endured with a horse or mule, a.shovel, saw an ax and ropes....it is a miracle they were able to do that isn't it? I'm a 69 yr old woman and I just love watching your thought process when you work. It's a massive puzzle of which you put together the pieces. Love your channel.
I think your videos are the only ones I watch daily and I liked the longer format. Philosophy is spot on, keep on keepin on!
We had 1 1/2 acres to clear here in Texas. Some of the trees were 12 -14 inches in diameter as well as smaller stuff. A lot of folks get a dozer to do it. We got a large forestry mulcher. When you are done no debris to haul or burn. Just wood chips. All the much goes back into the soil in a few years. Some folks will say it is more expensive but that is debatable considering all the extra work that Mike went through with the excavator.
Hardwood? Different cat between hardwood and softwood.
The thing nobody accounts for when mulching is all the regrowth that will quickly take over the land without time consuming and expensive maintenance… you’ll be calling the mulching company over & over until you deal with all the roots left untouched by mulching..
Thanks Mr. Mike., you are amazing and the best!
I really enjoy your work!
What an absolutely great show this time, Mike, the extended time made my day, and what a lot of work you hot through, plenty more of this type of show please ❤
beautiful job Mike ... also finish that course of antibiotics ... working on your teeth with a possible abscess is no joke
really bad things can happen ... looking forward to the cabin project ... ✌
Stump removal is sooooo gratifying!
Good morning Mike have an awesome day burning n cleaning up
Mike there is something therapeutic about watching you work! God bless! Stay safe.
The meadow clearing is looking good!
Might be a great little area to put another cabin or guest house for Eva to live in after she finishes college.
Great video, looking forward to WV! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Today’s video is exactly why OWTM is my favorite uTube channel. Excellent work Mike! Melissa is your right arm too, I know you’re thankful to have her as your wife.
Oh WOW I just realized this vid is 45 minutes! plus 10 to you Mike!
Hey Mike love your videos realy enjoy them
just a random thought tho on the shower house could you not just build a small walk way from back door that way not taking away any room in cabin
thanx for the entertainment i get with my morning coffee
Noticed all the new music, nice.
Looks like a great location for a NEW HOME BUILD!!
Mike, a cold shoe is a mount for a camera mic or flash that has no electrical contact with the camera. A hot shoe is one which has contacts that have contacts that can receive electrical signals (to signal a flash) or send data (sound from a mic or on/off switching from a shutter release) direct with the camera.
I’ve been looking for one to mount a mic to my camera. Thanks for the heads up on where to find them.
Thanks for the video. May GOD bless you and Yours.
Good Morning!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing
Another great video Mike and enjoyed the longer format. Clearing looks great. Maybe a clover mix for the deer and turkey would be nice.
Mike, my wife uses slightly wet newspaper dipped in ashes to clean the window on our slow combustion heater. It’s amazing looking back at your early years.
Thanks to the Morgan’s.👏
Mike, well done. Your attention to detail is very evident in this video. Outstanding editing.........we just got home from our cabin, first thing I did was watch! Makes my day!
Mike and to all your followers, If you have an infected or abscess tooth, use and apply Frankincense Oil to the tooth and gum area. Now if you have a broken tooth easier to apply with Q-tip into the break or chip to get to the root. Use for 7-10 days apply as often as needed. Frankincense in a natural anesthetic and will kill the root of the tooth. I have done this and it works.
Mike love your work videos you make it look easy. Your wife has a great smile you got to love her personality.
I helped a neighbor clear 4 acres of wooded land for a pasture. He was able to get a crawler excavator to take down the larger trees and remove the stumps, I bucked and hauled off the logs - still took nearly 4 months part time.
GOOOOOD SATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE OUT THERE IN OWTM VIDEO LAND!!!…Mike thanks for your honesty. Youcould’ve never mentioned the oops 😬 broken fitting. But like Tom Hause yinz honesty is awesome. Project looks great. Hoping you can harvest or get pics of that huge 🦌.
Have a day
HELLOOOO Hunter 😊
Nice job you wood have never known they were their.
Life! Y’all have a Day!
Good morning Morgans and friends
🍩🍩🍩
Brothers
Good morning fellas. Keep cool down there.
😎👍
First great video! We are in western Canada, north of North Dakota. Here, LP well buy your wood lot to make 4x8 chip boards.
We had a 75 acre lot that we sold to them, good size trees like yours. Been told by the loggers, what you get for the logs, you well invest about the same a D9 Cat cleaning up the stumps into a windrow. You then have the cost of disking the land and cleaning the roots.
Good morning Mike, great job on Your clearing project. So relaxing watching You operate Your big boy toys! Good luck on Your root canal repair. The skid steer is making quick work of building the Morgan Critter Hilton with those big stumps!
Good morning Mike , family and everyone here. Mike I've been watching your channel since May 2017 and really enjoy the content. The first video I watched was , #20 Must Have Tractor Attachment !!
I used that video and replicated that piece for my Kubota. Thanks for taking us along and all the effort....👍👍
Start blinking because I'm ready for Fall. We caught a break today - hi of only 93! Back in the 100s for almost three week starting in a few days. Clearing looks great and can't wait to see the progress at the WV spread.
I have a Craftsman utility blade cutter that I use a lot for cutting everything. All you have too do is change the blade, brand new cutter. After a while the “anvil” gets a groove cut in it and makes it not as efficient at cutting. I found replacements made by a guy with a three D printer, I bought four of them!
Super awesome video Mike. Thank you!
Mike: meadow is looking good !!!! Satisfying to see you "subdue it" !!!!
Good morning Michael
Looks great Mike and Melissa, can you put up a zip line from the upper meadow down to the brick house meadow 😂😊. Just a thought. The meadow will look awesome all green after seeding! Stay safe and get the work done in W Va. Got to have a winter wonderland to relax and play. Fred.
My favorite kind of video ❤
Good stuff, I also like the longer videos. I watch while on treadmill.
Mike, with the variety of things you do on your property, I for one like the longer video formats. Thanks for sharing all you do.
Good morning Mike & family!!
Seed over a wild flower cover as it will be a wonderland of beauty.
Gorgeous land!
We used to do a bit of land clearing the standard change was $7000-10000 per acre depending on job size etc, so you can work out what its likely to cost and admittedly that was 20 years ago so you can imagine that would be double now!!
The land clearing looks awesome Hi Melissa
Hey Mike!
I have found several neat things on ETSY. Mainly for my ammo reloading process.
That is a rabbit hole that never ends in the way of aquiring tools to make the process easier and faster.
Some of the etsy people have come up with creative 3D printed tools, that solve problems with popular equipment, that are affordable.
I think you have mentioned it before.....Imagine doing this back when it was virgin forest! Got to hand it to the people back in the day.
Not that I wish u misfortune but it’s good to know your human and you do break stuff. Can’t wait to see how you do the shower house.
Hi Mike have you ever gotten that cnc router unit running and the fire starter package machine? Love to see them running. Great videos following for 3: years now.
Good morning Morgan's, Mike i think I have figured it out. The new clearing is for the new house. Don't forget, clear enough for the swimming pool. Have a day.
Mike, for that person that wanted to clear 150 acres. If he did it at the rate you are doing yours, it would take approximately one normal work week to clear one acre, so it would take over 150 weeks to clear 150 acres. This is actually three years not six months as you stated in the video. Just wanted to show what a daunting task that would be. Bill H from Cranberry Township
PS good luck with your root canal
Love the drone footage 👍
Great video! A 'cold shoe' is a mount that does not power the attached device. A 'hot shoe' provides power to the device, typically from the camera's battery.
Best. 45 minute. Video you ever. produced.
Our church had a wood lot that was about 5 acres I believe and the professionals had it cleared in a couple days. They had this remote controlled stump grinder that looked like a D9 CAT
Morning mike and Melissa, glad to watch another great video
Great drone lead in video. Nice!
Hey Mike been there done that with an infected tooth its a pain, it'll get better, make sure you get a soil sample of your meadow so you don't waste seed and fertilizer plenty of food plotting videos out there a clover meadow would be awesome for your deer and turkeys, hey Melissa love Sandlot and What about Bob, love you guys
hi there forms are interesting , just like a lot of people that leave comments , some know whats going on and others think they know , best to all john
Land looks great! BTW...Tractor forum. You take 40 hours per acre. 150 acres is 6,000 hours. Three, non stop 50 week, years. No stopping for weather, for break downs, for holidays, for the mountain of stumps you've collected. At the end of three years, your equipment is shot and the first 50 acres you cleared needs a good going over...Cause it's starting to grow back. If anyone is going to clear 150 acres (forested acres) by themselves. They better have a D8 or D9 dozer and a heck of a track hoe. Throw a log truck in there and a dump truck too. That's commercial work. Timber and co-gen grinding (if you have a co generation plant near by) can help defray the cost....but I still can't imagine what it would cost to have some one else do that kinda clearing.
