- This evening I took the Kubota KX-080 Excavator Down in the back end of the pond to start removing some sediment that had washed in from a flash flood. It was a little sketchy getting in there and had to be careful not to sink out of site.

Nice job Mike!! I have only one "should" for you. You "should " keep making these videos!!Ha!We love them and all of The Morgans!
Another entertaining adventure. Thanks, Morgans!
You are pretty good with that excavator. I am 14 and help my family farm. I run our John Deere 350g excavator and my Grandpa yes the 850k dozer, i have been running the excavator since I was 7. I hope you have a great day.
Good for you Deere Man. As you get older you'll appreciate those skills even more!
This is where experience and wisdom is demonstrated perfectly. Any amateur would have driven that hoe right onto the intended workspace and become really stuck. You are a man with many skills and talents, Mike!
Coffee and Mike playing on his new rent a toy! I really enjoyed working around the pond today! Love from Northwest Indiana! 🙏🏻👏👍💗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good morning all, Phil from Kansas City here. Mowing the lawn this morning before heading into the Stihl store. Have a day and be safe.
Mike and Melissa your music selection is perfect. I sometimes replay just for the tunes. Everyone has their own taste in music yours just happen to match mine. Love it.
Great job Mike, enjoyed the clips you put in of the work you did 9 years ago. Let’s folks know this ain’t your first rodeo on the pond!! 👍👍. It’s interesting watching you work and listening to you explain what and why you are doing something. Thanks for sharing with us and be safe.
Yep i liked seeing the old pictures. Neet to hear what was making the bubble's. I would not have known until i waz making my own!
Glad I watch this on my smart tv makes the double screen better nice job
Holy smokes! I had no idea that you had done all that work 9 yrs ago. What you were taking out now looks like nice and rich top soil. Yes, Mother Nature will see to it that it fills up once again. It's a nice looking area and would make a nice picnic or camping spot.
There is something about watching a skilled heavy equipment operator in action. Having the machine be an extension of your hands moving smoothly and efficiently is a sight to behold. Great job Mike on the first stage of the pond dredging operation.
A beautiful site to work and anything you do is an improvement
I enjoy the picture in a picture view. I can understand and see much better.
I enjoy your content. Have considered putting a pond on my property. After watching your video I think I'll just enjoy the natural spring on my place. Have a great day
I agree
I know that several of us viewers have been wanting to see the pond get fixed. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
MIKE I FEEL FOR YA BUDDY....ALL WORK AND NO PLAY..
Troll Killa nobody really Michael hall
Bull. All play. Never work. Poor guy has to rent equipment to get his playtime in.
I love watching you do this , working on the pond. Could watch all day.
if I did not know it was mike I would have thought this was lets dig 18 .....thanks mike for explaining things like a classroom teacher
MIKE, happy for yinz, that you and Miss are enjoying life. keep living !!!
Good morning Mike. Nice work with the excavator. Do it how you want...you're running the controls.
Mike! Thank you for sharing your "vintage" photos of your early work on the pond! Always like seeing a before and after with any project. We are currently contemplating a small pond in an open sunny field, so hopefully we will avoid some of the issues you have had to deal with. We may be calling you for consultation services, though!
👏👏👍👍
Mike, I like what you are doing!!!!
enjoy your channel very much have a great day.
Thanks, you too!
Good information on ponds in the woods. We are looking at having a pond built in a deep gully in our woods and you bring up good points to consider. Thanks Mike. God Bless.
Good afternoon Hunter ;-)
It looks very good to me. A grading bucket would be a great thing, but the one you have is working very well.
It looks like you are doing a great job Mike , you always take your time to pre plan what you want to do .
It pay to be careful doing pond work.
Great content as usual 👏 👌
So glad to see you working on a pool for Melissa!
Hey Mike,
*You SHOULD* post more pictures of when you were digging out the pond 9 years ago!! Those were awesome!!! :-)
Thanks, Good Sir. Have a Day!!
Looks good you have been watching letsdig18 lol
letsdig18 would turn that little pond into a big lake in 2 days!
@@boltactionshooter Just 1 day :-)
Mike, your videos are really looking good! Love the multiple camera angles and the creative placement of the cameras. I know it's a pain in the posterior to keep moving them while you're working but it pays off in the production. Can't wait to see part 2 and beyond.
Think your doing the right thing for what the pond is. In reality a big sediment traps by nature. But would like to see you teach Melissa to run the excavator she's good at learning how to run more equipment. You go girl 👍
Thank you Sir! Awesome!
Always learning from you guys. I've got a little pond on my property and its in a steep grove of gum trees - they drop a lot, a very big lot of stuff. I know I'm going to have heaps of maintenance to keep it going, but I can straight away see that the plastic-liner spillway will be a winner for me. Now I'm #SmilingLikeanOutdoor Morgan! Have day, hope you choose great!
Mike, that was a great video! You are a Master of making videos. The camera setups were excellent. The narrative was instructional. I really enjoyed watching it! Thanks for capturing and producing it. From
Central Texas, y’all Have A Day!
Sketchy ya but a boat load of fun!
Nice to find out more about the pond and what it had for a liner! I had been looking for a piece of rubber lining around the edges in some of your other videos.👀😁
The video production was excellent using multiple camera angles with narration. Inclusion of the former equipment used with a history of the pond added more to the reason for the dredge work. You are to be commended for the only weekend warrior that works eight days a week. Please keep the productions coming as the episodes are entertaining as well as educational particularly for one flying a keyboard from SE WI. Thanks Mike.
Was half expecting a “this is how to get an excavator out of the mud” video
What I'd do is...no, what you should do is...keep doing what you're doing. I do enjoy y'alls channel. Have a great day.
Looks like you are having fun, carry on
Come on Mike, thats only a pucker factor of 1. You can get to a 4 without mats. 🤣
Great Work way to be cautious on your stability on the soft ground!!👍👊
"What can go wrong".....Catchy Title Mike, we know that piques interest....but us old timers here also know that when Mike has the controls there ain't anything gonna go wrong! Good work Mike! Pie Town Larry
Great video as usual!
Mike, keep in mind that what you're digging out of the pond is excellent garden soil! Perfect for vermiculite too.
That's money in your bucket!
That picture in picture, is a great addition to your videos.
Progress! I can appreciate your concerns about spongy ground.
I need all that compost great job Mike have a day love from TEXAS
Thanks for sharing
Amazing how wet that stuff is even after 2/3 months of no appreciable rain. Nice work Mike.
Mike, your music choice is always good. Always has a flavour of ‘Of Monsters and Men’. I could be wrong, of course.
Hello Mike and Melissa. I am Larry from Forney TX which use to be a small farming community but now all houses. I always enjoy your videos. Mike it looks like you are doing a great job on the pond.
Love this video. Can’t wait until the next one. Love to watch you build. My day doesn’t really start until I watch your video every morning . 😊👍🏻
Thanks for your video
Hey Mike, you should ignore all the 'you shoulds'...[snicker]
Go for it Mike, nothing ventured nothing gained. " Drain the swamp "
Draining swamps is the problem with flooding and erosion. Swamps clean water and release it slowly. Wish people would educate them selves on retaining wetlands.
Master operator at work. Mike, I am amazed at all of your 'handy-man' talents...Well done.
Good job Mike.
Thought for sure you were going to get stuck! Great job by a Pro!
OMG! Can’t tell you how satisfying it is to see you working on this! That dirt looks like brown gold. I would be willing to bet it would be the absolute BEST topsoil you could ever use around the new building. Brought me back to my younger years playing with Tonka Toys😊 Marcus from Chesapeake VA.
Mike you shoulda do exactly what Mike and Melissa want to do! Have a day , good job!
I've got one that i need to do the same thing to. Now is the time for me to do that as well. I think you should do what you think is best & not worry about the negative remarks. Hope y'all have a blessed week.
It's wonderful how much work you guys have done the kx80. My dad and are doing a remodel on some of our rentals here in paso robles California.
Good morning from Kentucky. It’s a beautiful day here but rain in the forecast.
Letsdig18 , old Chris would be a great channel to watch . He does a lot of ponds and creeks and I've watched a lot of his videos where he tested the waters and got out of places that I didn't think hw would be able to . Just a recommendation .
Thank you for sharing. I think you idea of building a small dam at the head of the pond will reduce the amount of sediment going into the pool and you will be able to clean it out easier Great work. Your having to much fun.
Beautiful job! Can't wait for the next episode...for the finish product. From New Fairfield CT
That's good looking dirt Mike.
Sometimes the ''You Should'' people have good advice, always keep an open mind and ear !
I loved the old pictures. Damn you were ambitious back when you dug out the pond. You haven’t slowed down much. A speaker at a supervisor seminar said to “Never Should On Yourself!” I didn’t think that you should have done anything different. Keep up the great work!
I loved that intro song you used for this video... Peace Be Still My Darling is a great choice!
Reminds me of letsdig18 but just tad smaller scale. Thanks Mike!
Great Video, Thanks for Sharing. John New Oxford, PA Very Busy in are Area 👍
Love the video love all you do love the music !
I have a property that I need to cut a driveway on. I think I need an excavator about the size of the one you are using. My feeling is that you are making some of the operation look easier than I think it may be for someone like me. My first job was on a farm, I worked through college landscaping, so I have run some machines. Tractors and loaders I have used a lot. I have not used a backhoe or excavator. I am on the fence about renting a machine or hiring a professional to do the work. I do love the feeling of accomplishment when I look at the land and know that I did it. You have made my decision harder.
Here is a thought: Do a split screen showing you doing what it takes to operate the excavator, (levers, foot pedals, joysticks etc.) and the other screen showing what the machine is actually doing. Thanks for the great content!
Yes, that would be really helpful for us never having operated one before.
Good morning Mike this is Mike from Mississippi..About to head to our land out in the country to do more cleaning up.. Removing hedge bushes that have been growing for 12 to 15 years unchecked.. Cutting trash trees and general cleanup.. Will be using a mini excavator soon. Then I will speed up the process. Have a day!👍❤️
Still hot an humid here in East Tennessee! Looking good Mike! The less time I sit or travel on silted fill the better I feel! LOL Keep up the good work, and videos, and tell Hunter hey, and the rest of the Morgan's too! 👍
Hello Mike,
Here's a thought for making the bucket smoother when you drag soil to you. Get one of your friends from the maintenance workshop cut a section of dozer blade (old scrap) long enough to to place Infront of the teeth and then another plate behind the teeth so 2, 1/2-3/4 in grade 8 bolts to clamp it in place, this way you will have 2 buckets in one and it will let you drag back with a smooth bottom.
Just a thought.
God bless and thanks for all that you share.
Great idea but the Machines not his
@@MrValhem265 the part I'm talking about would just bolt on without any modifications to the bucket and wouldn't cost anything to make other than two bolts.
@@mikeandnoleane07 sweet
Great job! "Impressed"👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Really enjoyed the video 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I know that feeling of "Oh """"""" have I gone to far when the front wheels start to sink in" again great job! Looking great!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I had to laugh...one post says “nice music” and the next says “music sucks”. My vote is the music is wonderful and the content is excellent! Keep it up!
If someone doesn't like the music...hit MUTE and still watch the content. I love the music and ALL of your editing.
I have said it before an d will say it again this is the best music from all the sites I vist Mike you should make a DVD or what ever they use now adays and sell the music as well.. Thanks from Alan in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada keep up the great work and Music
Perfect song.... "DON'T BE SCARED" ... WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG HAHAHA
Mike, you’re a great heavy equipment operator!
Mike, about 40% of us out here are like minded and onboard with what you do and how you do it. The remaining bunch are learning and not quite understanding (yet) how to do major chores. ;-) Thats why your videos register with all of us who tune in.
Looking good Mike! I hear you about the sediment buildup! At the far end of our pond the willows and cattails are creeping in, but the beavers are trying to make it deeper! It is what it is! Just have to go with the flow, pun intended!
God bless you guys thank you for the channel
Great job and video
Hey Mike. Yep you have operated one of those before. Smart to check the place where you're going to be sitting. Good job my friend.
I had no doubt you would do the work on the pond with safety first in your approach. Well done!
Looking good
Hi Mike, we are entering into the winter season with some very cold days and early mornings - nothing compared to your climate extremes - however cold enough for us on the east coast of NSW Australia. I think it is about time you updated your background music away from "My Darling". I watch your videos on a daily basis and share some of the dreams that you and Melissa enjoy on the farm.
Love the videos and the commentary.... l hear about " the you shoulds". Keep doing what you're doing and enjoy life. Great stuff, have a blessed day.
My thought on the “you should” crowd is that everybody is a damned expert. THEY should get out and do something on their own rather than second guessing everything everybody else does. It’s like the worst kind of manager... come in after the fact, pick everything apart, and say “I never would have done that...” Just do whatever the hell you want. People are here watching you for a reason. We all wish we could be doing the same thing.
Damn right
Nailed it!
Will look good when you are done. Thank you for the longer video I enjoyed it. God bless
I think it's looking good.
Mike, I'm no soil engineer. But, could you when you dig your shell pit & can use it to construct a ledge to work off of in future maintenance. Like a rock bridge with what you call Geo-textile or what we call Amoco 4545 & riprap , surge stone. Plus it would make for a nice place to fish the back-end of your pond.
Love the new Toy!
Dirt Perfect will envy you! Love your work and passion for doing it right!
That swamp mud will suck you down into it for sure. You need some swamp pads lol! Love the machine I could watch excavators work all day. My buddy just purchased a kubota dealership here in Ohio maybe I will have some orange in my life soon. Lol! Thanks for sharing!
I agree with the prior comment YOU SHOULD KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
