Mike, thought you would want to know TTWT paid you a compliment referring to your expertise handling the tractor-bucket when spreading stone; the video was fairly recent from Tim. He mentioned Mike Morgan when Tim was operating his machine. Thanks again for the videos.
Mike, your skill with equipment is elite level. I really love how you make doing dirt and stone work look effortless. God Bless, Daryl
D Roy Having the right tool for the job makes most jobs easier. I’m still splitting my fire wood the old fashion way, with an ax, a pair of gloves, to prevent blisters, and muscles. I do have a good chain saw to cut the rounds. The human power that I provide, I look at as a much needed work out. I only split a couple cords a year for our fireplace at our home. We make our outside fires with what ever Mother Nature puts on the ground at our camp. All I need for those is the chain saw, the gloves, and one of my trailers.
That is all most people need. A pair of gloves, splitting maul, chainsaw and a good partner to tell us how to do it. 😎
Love to watch you operate your equipment. I do not have your precision and at my age there is no hope. Your videos are always upbeat and encouraging. Keep up the good work.
Don’t be hard on yourself. His equipment is new and everything is smooth and tight.
Agree about your Tractor. I have a MX5200 which is perfect for taking care of my driveway and handling large round bales of hay.
yeah my buddy bought one too wich was pretty cheap and powerful
Nice work on the Kubota, Mike. Always a pleasure to see someone who has the skills and takes pride in his work. Stand your ground in regards to the pool, they are nothing but a money pit!!!
MIKE, watching you cut sod, and planting gravel is always a teachable moment for me, as I learn alot. Thank you. Good stuff!
Thanks for the video, just ordered this model two weeks ago very excited for delivery!
Ole Berg here, I live southeast of Deer Lodge,Mt. I was down with a detached retina Nov. and Dec. and watched all of your videos. Really helped getting through being couped up for 2 months.Keep them coming
Hey Mike & Melissa! I enjoy watching your videos and seeing your daily routine and activities. Keep up the good work. Melissa, your sense of humor is a blessing because there are so many people that doesn't have the sense of humor you demonstrate. Mike, I am unable to see the replies to the comments on your videos; therefore not sure if it is on my end or if they be blocked. God bless you and your family. I am retired military and currently live in Valdosta, Georgia I have a birthday coming up August 1, and would appreciate you and Melissa giving me a shout-out on one of your videos on that day. Thanks
A perfect day for Melissa, Taking a dip in her pool after a day of wood chipping, followed by a trip to Dairy Queen.
Anyone else find it oddly soothing how easy Mike makes it look. Im only running the little 250 and lucky if I can get it to run that smooth when scraping or dumping. Jay, from Palmyra, TN.
My husband and I enjoy your videos. What a wonderful family you have and awesome property! Keep making the videos!
Nice Work On Cutting Out The Sod And Putting Down And Leaving the Limestone
No Suprise The Outcome Is as Always Awsome!!👍👊
I had a minor leg operation 15th july, so I have to sit with my leg elevated. I found your U tube videos on the 2nd day , then "Tractor Time with Tim", I'm having a ball watching your day to day activities !
G'day Hunter, hope you're doing well mate. It's awesome seeing you in the videos 😁
Looks like a beautiful day in Western Pa.
Nice job of scraping and laying a bed of stone...Yesterday I watched Tractor Time With Tim and he was in awe of your gravel spreading.
Have a day Morgan’s!
Another really good video of your day. I feel like I am there sitting on a lawn chair watching you work , your editing is so well done. Thank you. Now to get up and go to my 40 acres and get to work!..
I have the M700 with the shuttle shift on our 100 acre homestead and it has been fantastic . It has a little over 700 hrs. with zero problems . I also have the B2650 with cab and front snow blower which works out great up here in northern Maine . I love your property and all that you guys are doing with it . You have a great family and I wish you guys all the best .
you are a lot better getting the grass off than I am, I dig holes when I'm trying to grade with my FEL. You have a good touch...
Great day from Tee in Michigan. Got to love this weather. Hunter can't wait to see your new hobby. You all be safe keep the love and kindness.
Area is shaping up really nice. Like yourself Mike I am hoping this weather continues. Have a good one.
Been hanging out here since the original Kubota before the RK's and still look forward to your videos.
my nieces mom in thailand is the cheif officer in thailand for these kubotas inspection over in thailand at kubota coroporation inspection facility :)
me too, Greg
great last name!!
Nice work Mike. Nobody spreads rock like Mike Morgan. Have a productive day.
I’m really looking hard at the MX cab…thanks for the video
Nice job on sod removal and spreading gravel. Hope the woodmizer gets the next shed. Have a great day.
Love my L6060. I feel the same about its size being perfect. I’ve also modified a number of things to make it just a little more comfortable like adding light bars at all four corners with a larger bar center front. The best option by far that I added was a larger left tide set of steps I found from another RUclipsr from Newfoundland. They are hand made and perfect for a larger older guy like myself. Not an advertisement but Specialty Repairs Custom Mods. I would highly recommend.
yeah kubotas accully the only one companies that carries verilty of sizes of tractors from small,mid, medium and large and the kubota excavators too wich is small,mid,medium and large too wich kubotas are pretty smart so can have different sizes for any applications
Michael Mac Tavish, a mini-excavator is next on my wish list. I’ve got several low areas across my land that have small amounts of water that runs when ever it rains but they are filled with garbage trees, I’d love to pull out all the low area trees and build a large pond for the deer on the back side of my property. More then anything, I just enjoy getting out on the property to unwind after work is done, much like yourself it seems. Cheers.
Good morning Mike and Melissa, great video !👍👍 That’s an all around Tractor for sure Mike, you don’t have to cut a highway to get around in the woods and it will handle the lifting and winching chores you will need and the trails and roads you have can be maintained really well. That cab is a real winner too. Thanks for sharing with us and keep up the good work and videos. Fred.
Another good, simple, learning video. As everyone else said, the guy or gal on the sticks makes a big difference!
Looking good! All you need is a third function valve for the front locks and then you wouldn't need to get out of the cab and do it manually. Especially if your consistently changing attachments
there $200 extra option here at my dealer plus he'll keep the levers on it too as a back system wich is smart if the hydrulic lock dont work you have the leaver as a back up wich my dealer does wich is smart idea
Have you ever tried a York Rake with bogey wheels? I had one that I loved. The adjustable wheels allowed me to tilt the rake so I could set a crown in a road. The rake also swiveled up to 45 degs on either side so it pulled the rocks and sand off the sides of the road into the middle where I spread them out again.
Those Detroit Diesel engines always leak. That's why when I worked as a mechanic, we referred to them as a "Drip-troit". They didn't really use many gaskets on them and relied on metal to metal connections to seal the mating surfaces which allowed oil to seep through.
Outside of splitting wood, Mike's favorite activity is buying and spreading rock :-))
No more mud ! Have a day, and hello from Gig Harbor Wa.
Nothing wrong with bragging about a new tractor...regardless of brand. I have a 50 hp blue tractor however where I messed up was not getting a 4wd unit. Nice to hear equipment running and not so nice for the noisy music. Thats the neat thing about you tube....just fast forward past the noise. Any plans yet on equipment shed size ?
There ya go Motor Mike. You saved some time by dumping the rock where you needed it. It is like handling wood the least amount of times. Tell Hunter I want to see him making wood. Cheers!
You were on me before about where I dumped rock, I explained why I did so before but you must have missed it, last time I needed more rock where I dumped it and took a few buckets to the shed, this time I needed it all there
Must have missed it. All is good. If you having suggestion for my work let me know. I like people trying to make my like easier!😄
I am impressed
I really like the way your work area is coming along. Our off-grid communities are using a lot more recycled concrete and asphalt. The down side is no bare feet or flip-flops in the summer time with Georgia asphalt.
Mike, you make that equipment look good, and you don't abuse it.
Chilly past couple of mornings in New Berlin, NY - 36 degrees! Rest of the week starting to look like summer. You're losing lawn in a hurry! Best make pool install plans before even mentioning a roller, Mike. Ha!
Hey Mike,
Land Pride makes rear facing blades for the grading scraper.
You might want to give them a call and have them get you a couple of them. It will help keep from wearing out those inside cross bars for backing up with that scraper.
hi Mike Mel,hunter eva ,yea i powerwashed the patio and was 68 today kinda cool,yeah i told you Kubotas are good tractors i had a few,i had a lawn mower one to,and like the colour,orange to,just be safe and know what to do all time,can get yourself in a jam theres all kinds of scenarios,so just be careful,good video later Mike
I've learned a lot by watching your videos. Thanks!
Mike when I spread inch and a half to dust stone I always mix it up first with the backhoe first, saves getting boney patches that turn into potholes in the yard . keep well from us in the uk
Was watching tractor time with Tim and he gave you a complement
I could have used your trailer and loader last week. I shoveled about 1 1/4 cubic yards of that stuff out of the back of my pickup. I'm still feeling it in my shoulder.
You need a truck bed unloader, they cost like $50 at harbor freight
Have a day, Phil here from Kansas City. Heading back the the Stihl store today. Wonder what the weekend brought me to work on.
Glad you are happy with the tractor. Neat video!
I’m sorry Mike but I like the Rk 55 better. It was definitley quieter, and proabably somewhere about $16,000 - $20,000 cheaper. If you were shelling the money out of your pocket which one would you choose?
I submitted a comment the other day in another video, saying I thought the RK was quieter, and asked Mike what he thought, no reply yet...
Would be nice to see RK55 to MX5400 comparison
im planing on getting a $8,000 kubota 16.8hp diesel 11000 watt generator wich wasnt really to bad price tag with 5 year warranty and $500 cash rebate included wich cant beat it plus it uses the same filter as the kubota tractors
I know this comment is a bit late, but I have owned an RK55 for about a year now, and have nothing but good things to say about it. It is more comparable feature wise with the "premium" models offered by other manufacturers.
cant believe how far that spread - your are pretty dam good at that Mike
I was just thinking the other day you don’t seem to be missing the RK37 too much. Sometimes it is nice to have enough tractors so they can all have their jobs to do and not have to change attachments all the time.
rk tractors accully doesnt have a good lifting power like that MX5400 has
My proposed successful retirement venture.....start a stone yard right next to the Morgan's!!!👍
lol
Smooth Operator, ... Thanks Mike
~ Blessings All ~ ❤️ 🌈 🙏 🌿
Amazing job stripping grass. I have a smaller B26 and use it for a living. It’s probably the most difficult task to do on a tractor as you can’t see your cutting edge like you can on a skidsteer/CTL.
Key is like you did, take as little as possible and make another pass if needed. Once you gouge the ground you are SOL.
Just a suggestion from an old, no, very old, cattle rancher. When using trailer, put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, for trailer to go left turn steering wheel, left, trailer right, turn steering wheel right. You have great videos. If Cecil B DeMile we’re alive, he would green with envy. Best to every one. Shingalo1 at BarX Ranch.
Sure looked windy there today. I have to say that we have had a piece of nice weather for the past week or so, guess we'll pay for it, eh? Ann says that she is looking forward to seeing the hand rail finished on the mini-cabin. I was wondering what will be the next structure and where will it be placed. Great video, thumbs up.
Thank you for putting up the name of the song and artist. I LIKE IT.
Hi Mike, I have been a subscriber for a couple of years now. Like you used to have I have an L3901 and was thinking of upgrading. do you have a video on when you upgraded to the 5400 and talk about why that model etc?
thanks,
-Steven
Good morning Hunter ;-)
Smooth Mike.....smooth operator!! Have a day!
Nice job you 2 I sit and watch your vlog . I wanna just come and I enjoy that stuff so if you ever need help I'm. your man. Stay safe Morgans
Another good one, Mike
Love the ahows. I was curious if there was not load covering laws in your area. I live in North Carolina and we have to put a tarp over our loads. I have a tarp system on my dump trailer for gravel, dirt and mulch. Without it i would get ticketed and also our places that sell gravel will not load you if you do not have something to cover your load.
not here in my province because it wouldnt make any sence and all it be more money ripped off taxpers for governments back pockets
Have a great day everyone
Hay Hunter 😊🇺🇸👍
thats a heck of a way to mow the grass mike lol !!!
Mike, I have watched you use your land plane and I have a couple of observations. I too have a land plane and enjoy it very much.. Now for the BUT when you are pushing material with your tractor you are using the frame of the land plane. This action could wear it our or damage it. If you notice their are a set of holes on each cross member for adding a rear blade.. Land Pride has a grader blade kit for adding an additional blade. I did not add one on my land plane as I rarely push from the rear. This may be something for you to consider. Last thing, when you were grading your mothers road the front blade seems to be doing all the work. I try and level mine a little more, you may wish to increase you top link length. I truely enjoy your videos, keep up the great work and hopefully I am not coming across as too critical. Have a day.
If Mike likes the way it spreads without an extra blade on the back. You just wait until the paint wears off, find yourself a good welder, and lay down two or three beads of hard surface. Wa-La good to go for the life of the attachment.
Pretty good stuff fella. Thank you for sharing your day.
Have a day y’all
Love to see a site plan for your Renewal Resources Center. Curious to see what you have in mind for drainage and for work and traffic flow.
Love the tractor videos. You are a pro at spreading stone. Mine never goes that easy.
When you push the bucket lever all the way forward, is that the "float" position? No pressure? Just weight of the bucket?
Good video your camera angles caught the action very well. You do have skills in tractor and implement operation that make a joy to watch. Melissa you are sneaky hiding in the shed to drink your diet cola.
MORNING MORGAN'S
I wish Kubota would go with a 2 pedal system and put the fuel tank under the tractor.
Is there a gauge on the dash that tells you how far off the ground the front loader is? Or do you just have to estimate by eye? Just curious how you’re able to keep a consistent depth while you’re taking up that sod. Thanks!
yeah the kubota has a loader rod for the sight of the bucket plus its on a alo euro and quacke loaders wich you can get for mx series too wich kubota dealers let ya have kubota,,or ALO euro or quicke and or Allied loaders options
Nice looking parking spot, you have gravel by the mill & splitter, gravel around wood shed and "new" trailer parking, but grass and dirt separating the two??
Congratulations on 160,000 subscribers! 👍
Good morning morgans from old europe,its lunchtime here
Good job Mr. Morgan , the wood yard is taking shape , yup nothing worse than wallering threw mud to do the job . Question for you do you have air bags added to that truck , it really handles a load well . Be safe
Mike the answer for the hawk you spoke of a day ago is just a broad wing hawk command to PA
Mike you are a very good operator. I'm impressed with the skill level you have regarding the bucket and land plane. Did you used to operate heavy equipment?
Looking good mike have a day love from TEXAS
Loved the opening music!
Hey Mike I was just wondering if you like the visibility more out of the Kubota cab vs the rk tractor? You looked like you had no trouble seeing to load that firewood. If you have a change let me know.
I like your new video you did a good jop i am from Bedford Pennsylvania PA
Mike, you are pretty good on that tractor
that's a very close shave, MIKE
Hey Mike what advice would you recommend what would Vise would you give to somebody that he was thinking about starting a RUclips channel
Holy cow that music gets it done.
The place is looking good
Good morning from MidMo! I’ll echo the comment that you have a much better touch scraping grass off than I do.
Wow....that's an OPERATOR right there. Nice efficient work. Curious, did you use the float function when scraping the grass or just go by hand/eye?
Impressive and for those that dont know....that ain't easy like he made it look!
Time index 1:40 “OH NO we have guest coming over QUICK MOW THE LAWN HURRY!!!”
Still trying to wrap my head around the Kubota I'm not running it but I did like the looks and operation of the RK seemed to spread stone better and I liked the Graple better but thats me that is why the make cadies and VW's
I explained it several times, this stone is 2a, doesn't pour like 2b, this comes out in clumps
I guess I just liked the RK better than the kubota in spreading the #3 and maybe it is just I like red better than orange but either is better than by hand lol have a day and be safe and healthy see you again tomorrow
Incorrect, 2a limestone has fines in it and you can't pour it like clean rock. I have spread thousands of tons of stone
Sorry thought the first stone you laid out was a #3 then #2a on top either way what you laid out turned out looking great you always operate equipment well. I still remember the first time I ran a loader 50 years ago they sure make a job easier
Just a thought Mike, it only take a minute to remove your tailgate. A whole lot better than the alternative.
Great as always. Cheers from Upstate NY!
I like the Mx 5400 but not seeing a Backhoe available for them
The 5400 is not too big or small, but will it dig a Pool size hole?
What’s the hp on the Kubota? What with your building plans and the way you’re going through stone, why not just have a couple triaxles of 3B and 2A delivered and be done with it? I doubt it would go to waste.
What kinda building are yall going to be building next? Good driving skills ya got👍👍👍👍👍👍
In my business, some rain in the summer is a _good_ thing 😂
🤣 sneaking soda in the woodshed. You scamp.
Thanks for putting these videos and reviews together. They are very helpful and inspire me to get into the woods! I'm very interested in the 5400 Hydrostatic. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this tractor vs a conventional-transmission more utilitarian tractor that provides more oomph at the price point, like the New Holland Workmaster series? I'm looking at both for a 224 acre woodlot and sugarbush I recently purchased. Mostly using for flail mowing and foodplots, as well as cutting some firewood and sugarbush/road maintenance throughout the property. Thanks
I know I made at least 3 maybe 4 comments about using a S D vibratory roller in the last year and a half maybe those comments are still in the back of your mind where I planted them and are just coming back to you LOL
