I nearly spit my coffee out with the impersonation!😂
Yeah could've been either one of those diaper wearing clowns
That was so funny. Made me laugh so hard.
It took me a second, but then I got it. It was a good laugh.
😂😂
You lucky guy... "nearly"... I wish I'd had that luck too!!! Now I have to clean the keyboard and the whole desk! But it was worth it... 👍😉 Greetings from Belgium ⬛⬛🟨🟨🟥🟥
I rewound that lunchtime “walk off” because my wife heard me laughing.
“The idea that…” people feel the need to tell you how to run your business is also hilarious.
I did the exact same thing.
Guilty as charged laughed out loud! LOL
That was a nice impersonation of SJB at 21:21. Nice looking road too.
Mike I agree with your reasoning about ads. I have chosen to pay RUclips premium so I don’t see ads. It’s my responsibility to select what I see, not you. Love, love your channel and will always be a subscriber. Thank you and your family for all the wonderful highlights to my day.
I have done the same. I never see ads on any You Tube channel I watch.
Yeah so your paying a California ran leftist platform that will cancel culture everything to death just look how he can’t even say bulliets or firearms without getting demonized but the nazi tube but your happy with supporting them !!! Turncoats
Yes, same here. It’s the most important value to me of having YT Premium…not having ads. As for Sponsored Ads, I’m okay with those because I realize they can be an additional revenue stream for a content creator, plus I never feel as if I’m being pushed to purchase a sponsored product.
@@sensitivewsmonly way to go , I hate ads .
Love how you were trying to figure out how to get off the stage 😂
That's the funniest thing I have ever seen you do. Love it.
I agree, sometimes you have to keep from crying with what’s going on in this country!🇺🇸
It’s scary the real question is is who’s running the country?
Who has their hand on the Nuclear weapons? Really concerning. @scottoliver8251
@scottoliver8251
The scariest thing I realized a couple of years ago... no one is running the country. Which really means the evil one IS running the country.
I don't think people understand it's not a skid loader replacement for dirt work. It's a small maneuver machine that has the lift capacity of a larger skid steer.
That mini-skid would be excellent for moving tools around in my shop, but to even rent one is far more than its worth....I just work slowly and carefully with my tractor and pallet forks....but in a larger scale need, for sure that little mini-skid steer is by far a great asset especially in cramped areas, where you can't even get a regular skid steer into....which wouldn't even fit through the door way of my shop....my little tractor just fits through the door way of my shop.....add onto that, so many homes in these camped subdivisions don't have very good access to the back yard, some don't even have a gate to the back yard, so you have to oftentimes remove a fence panel, or a few to get access to the back yard for landscaping and other tasks....so the mini-skid is the right tool for those applications as well. They're expensive, but they're also very versatile, tons of attachments you can get for them to do pretty much any job you need.
He bought one of the best if not the best.
@@ytgc14544 It is the best stand on. However you cant beat the ASV RT-40
Your money, your choice! What's the problem?
Exactly
Mike I agree with you. When I use the forklift at ( something I don’t do often anymore) it to is a pain getting on and off to put skids under the load or just adjusting stuff. Your machine wouldn’t work for me because the stuff we move weigh in from under 100 pounds to thousands of pounds. But I will say you have to be careful and not get thrown from that machine. I don’t think it will happen to you because you don’t seem to run your machines hard. As I tell my fellow employees slow down speed kills.
Some people just don’t understand that.
AKA DRPetrovi...😂 Refridgidware Mittons to operat cold or use Kubota's closed cabs for winter extremes
I concur.
The ease of getting off and on plus
the maneuverability of the small footprint is the best part of the mini.
The mini reminds me of the stand on reach lift I used to run step up and on and go not climb up and sit down and go .that mini is going to be so handy .
yeah plus easy for plowing sidewalks easyer in winter
OMG the impression just before lunch was hilarious. We totally get it...Hee Hee.
I read the comment a long time before I got to that place in the video, but when I got there, it really cracked me up.
It makes so much sense when you are moving cameras all the time! 💯 agree with you.
This Doug guy is a pretty smart guy too!
As Mike says: handier than a pocket on a shirt. Neighbor Doug is a handy guy himself!
I don’t know Mike, I have never had any ads. Maybe because I have a RUclips subscription. It doesn’t cost that much. Not having any ads is a blessing worth every penny. Have a great day
People need to just sit back and enjoy the videos. And only offer an opinion if asked for one.
Exactly right.
Mike,health to drive your wee Vermeer.Its up to you what you purchase,you are the only one who knows what machines you need to buy for your homestead.I just say thanks for taking us along on the journey.👍
I totally admire your family and you. You are a very honest blessed man with a huge amount of knowledge. I think alot of these complainers are jealous , ensecure in what they have or don't have. Keep on going as you are! We love y'all.
Rarely comment,but the "I'm lost"walk off was priceless!!! Thanks for the laugh from Alaska
First I loved your exit but you needed Melissa to have your arm! Thanks for the out loud laugh...
As long as you like it, that’s what is important. Looks perfect for your set up 😊
You’re 100 percent correct, I watch this channel to learn and laugh and y’all accomplish both very well. I have RUclips premium so I don’t have to watch ads because it’s pretty much the only thing I watch. Keep on keeping on.
Mike and family. Have been watching your channel for about 1 1/2 year. Enjoy your videos common people. Showing how projects and equipment and everyday life can be. Really enjoy the channel for free and learning new information. Thanks.. Mike
My little town was devastated by a hurricane several years ago. We were soon inundated by clean-up crews and Vermeer mini-steers were very useful and were less destructive to wet lawns.
Good morning Morgan fam, and happy birthday Hunter 🎉🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
Howdy Folks. I like the precious metals angle Mike. Good old common sense. 👍
That little stutter step was priceless. You go Mike! Nuff said!
I was waiting for Mrs. Dr. Morgan to come take your hand and lead you to safety ... Great Impersonation! 😁 More Precious Metals 👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks Mike
Mike I was impressed with your walk off. You didn’t even have to be led. You keep being you and doing as you see fit. That’s why we watch in the first place.
If only Melissa had been there to tell him what a good job he did!
That Vermeer mini skid is a good choice of a machine. Perfect for your application.
im looking for one plus them mini skidsteer fits on sidewalks in winter snow clearing
The lunch time walk off was absolutely hilarious. My family thought I was crazy when I burst out laughing 😂😂😂😂
Mike, your comments about the gradual shift in the popularity of tools made me smile. It also applies to the fuels they use! Just look at how battery tools are infiltrating your arsenal. I think that the mini skid is a fantastic fit to what you do. Just like it is a mistake to use any tool too small for the job the reverse is almost always true. Can't believe that people are complaining about any ads. It's rare that you have to watch a whole ad - and no I won't choose to watch an entire ad even for you! :)
It’s amazing how all the arm chair experts who have never seen a piece of equipment are so quick to judge . Im retired now from over 33years mixer driver, concrete boom truck operator & heavy equipment operator. I had zero accidents my fault. Safety is the most critical part of Mike’s decisions on alot of his purchases ( HIS PURCHASES) . I’ve seen enough to know that im still learning . My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone. Keep up the great videos Mike . The normal people here really love & appreciate all your hard work to make informative & creative videos. Happy 4th of July to all!!!
Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Fantastic and Blessed Day 🤠. 34 degrees this morning out here in Montana. I have the woodstove going to take the chill out of the house. I think the mini skid is a really versatile tool. The only drawback for me and my operation is the lifting height. Life is way too short to get all worked up about all the nonsense in this life in which you have absolutely no control over.
Not to mention all the climbing in and out adds up for us old guys! Wise choice
That thing is cool!! Beats climbing in and out of a full size skid steer 40 times a day. Great investment Mike.
A lot of people don't have the experience in equipment or cant see the entire picture while sitting inside the frame!. After building roads,highways, and site development for over 50 years I've learned some things watching your channel!. And after running bobcats since I was 16 yrs old at 68 now its a pain jumping in and out all the time and the mini skid is a perfect solution, and the fact that you can do so much more than most people think, which I'm sure you will show in the future. You have a great learning channel and the know it alls shouldn't be so quick to judge!.
I'm not a big fan of commercials, but I understand how it works. It's also FREEDOM OF SPEECH!, but it's OK for viewers to use their free speech in negative comments!, it is what it is and fair to all people!.
You don't need any fabric your stone is only as good as your sub-grade and it's excellent especially with a layer of #3 limestone for your base rock!.
Mike, You do not have to convince anybody except yourself. I am almost 70. I have a Toro Dingo TX425 widetrack walk behind. I also have a Bobcat 743. I work alone on a 6 acre farm with around 1000 laying hens. I have other equipment too but the Toro Dingo gets used daily and sometimes for hours on end. I use it to load my sawmill and for moving manure / wood chips. Your choice in equipment is evolving and I think you have made some very wise choices. Thanks for another great video and for being an inspiration to us all. Bless your family, prayers always. Hey, watch out for those sneaky sandbags on your way back to the house to get lunch...
Good morning Morgans and friends
Happy Birthday Hunter!!
Enjoying some rain overnight and this morning, the 95% humidity not so much. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Sounds like where I live, Pensacola.
@@rickharper1497 N. Indiana. Humidity came in with the front I guess. Hasn't been bad, the week before we had high 90's but little Humidity.
Watching your vids over 2+ years and seeing your families progression.... I think you guys made a great choices for your wants/needs and future growth. As always great vids, many thanks.
If you can only afford one machine I still believe the Case 580 is still the best all around machine but if you can afford multiple machines than there are a lot of options. The best part about this channel is watching you run multiple machines, more power to you Mike! Thanks for great content! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼 Gotta love precious metals 💪🇺🇸
Hi Mike, I am really pleased to see the new road turn out so nice. I have cut a few roads in the bush before, and I think people underestimate the planning and steps involved to get a road that will last. You should be proud of this road, Nice job Mike!
As always, enjoyed the video, and love your attitude, when you talk about things , you have a great outlook on life in general, plus not afraid to say what you want, and don't care who doesn't like it ..stay true to yourself 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
I rent a mini skid once a year for 24 hours and I get everything I need done pretty fast. I love those things. I only have an ATV and no tractor with 5 acres (mostly woods). This was a good choice Mike, those things are awesome!
The walk away for lunch 😂😂😂😂😂
Can definitely see the benefits to the mini skid, especially in the wood yard. Not climbing in and out a million times a day while moving logs for the mill or baskets. And maneuvering in tight area having full visibility. Not even time saving, but saving on your body on the in and out. Not sure on the negativity, but as a mid 20s father, and homestead style person, you do a great job giving an example of someone to look to for solid advice and exceptional work ethic.
Happy birthday Hunter! No one machine is a do all. Your new addition is safe and efficient and a perfect fit for your intended use. Climbing in and out of a skid steer all day is not fun as the years go on.
Mini skids are extremely handy and much easier than climbing in and out of a cab. We loved our ditch witch mini skids we have had over the years.
Awesome video. Love the exit for lunch break Mike. The best! I laughed out loud.
Good morning! Thanks for the very funny J.B. impression, made my morning !😂
Good morning everyone and happy birthday Hunter!
Hi Mike and Melissa......I just saw that your son-in-law, qualified for the hammer throw finals on Sunday. Hope he can make the Olympic team! That would be awesome! Congrats to Tyler, and your whole family. I will be rooting for him!
Good morning to the entire Morgan clan. Happy Birthday to Hunter and congratulations to Tyler with his Olympic trial results 👍
"dingos" are awesome. ran one for years in the landscape industry, they are amazing
Are the wood totes stackable? Two high?
You are the one using the equipment, not anyone else. It works for you, that is what is important.
Hi Mike, the reason I like watching your channel is because you are so open and honest about what you and your family are doing. Plus always good to see the Huntman checking on your work, to make sure it’s up to standard. Also how did Tyler get on at the competition, I don’t think we can view here in the UK 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
I love the precious metal comment. I buy as much as possible in many different styles!!!
Like I said before a JCB side entry is the only way to go,and it does everything those two machines do.😎
I like the JCB because it has side entry and a telescoping boom.
Good morning OWTM community....have a great weekend. Happy Canada Day long weekend to our Canadian friends. Steve in Calgary
Hi Steve in Calgary!
@@davidmorse8432 Good morning David....hope the weather is smiling on you you this weekend....and later next week for your Independence Day!
Morning Steve, Happy 🇨🇦 Day Weekend to you too.... Kids and Gkids coming over for a visit and camping, I'll be tuckered but Happy!
@@peteatthefarm4459 plenty of time to sleep when are are dead. We picked up our sons and daughters dogs...both their families headed to Toronto/Goderich to see Great and Great Great Grandma for the long weekend. Lots of dog walking for me this weekend. Have a good one!
You're doing the right thing Mike. Keep up the good work.
Im impressed at the size of the Vermeer sitting next to the Kubota!
You can never have too much precious metal from Cabela's and Bass Pro!
Not a good investment.
You are doing the right idea I have one on my ranch it is easy in getting in and out of paces even on my job site I am a fire chief I work for the Govt fighting forest fires
Mike, first I applaud your choice of Vermeer. Their equipment is everywhere. The new skid is perfect for your log yard area plus it can skinny into smaller areas even out the trails. My best to the fam and good luck Tyler!!
Mike, I totally agree with your decision to buy the Vermeer mini skid (as if you needed my or anyone else’s approval); AND I loved that very humorous walk “off stage”. That was hilarious 😂😂😂! And so well timed!
Good Saturday morning Morgan family! Happy birthday Hunter! Saw Tyler got 14th, great job! Have a fantastic weekend! Mike your solution to the advertisements is priceless. Precious Metals 😂😂
I saw some of the meet on USA network. Missed seeing Tyler though.
He qualified for Sunday, 10th, with a season best throw. He looked good.
Good morning from western WV! Looks like the new machine is a perfect fit in the wood yard. Looking forward to seeing more attachments for it!
Being able to step on and off with ease, get through small spaces, create far less damage to turf, being able to see all around you…absolutely love these small, stand on mini skid steers! And operating this machine in the standing position feels so much more comfortable and ergonomically healthy for your back as opposed to sitting in a full sized skid steer being bounced around while your operating it. I worked for a large landscape company for nine years, and we had about ten full size skid steers…I convinced the president of the company to get us an MT52 mini skid after renting one a couple times for a couple projects and experiencing how much easier it was to excavate for patios and walkways, place balled trees in the holes, drilling holes with the 24” auger, trenching for downspout pipes, etc., etc., etc….anyway, that MT52 quickly became the favorite machine of all the foremen, including the commercial foremen. We ended up getting multiple mini skids and less full size skids.
I don’t b like to tell people what they should or shouldn’t do on their own property or what they should or shouldn’t buy you know what you need an don’t buy you know what you want and need you’re just a very nice guy explaining it to people really just enjoy your videos
That’s Funny Mike. I hope you don’t forget what state you’re in 😂
Loved the "old man" impression.
I don't comment much. I do watch your videos and like your openness and honesty. Happy for you being able to make a living doing what you enjoy. I'm sure that makes others jealous and so what! I appreciate watching keep sharing God Bless You and Your Family.
Nice work putting the stone down. The mini skid is a definite improvement for the wood yard. Solid addition. good day Morgan’s
Hello! 😊 Happy Birthday Hunter!
We share the same birth date.
73 years young today!

For moving cameras that 15 seconds is golden. And easier on the body. When the vemeer is the wrong machine, you still have the right machine. The zombie walk was funny. You'll be famous soon. Rolling Stones!
I have to admit, it doesn't matter whether we like it or not. All that matters is, You like it. I Hope You Have a Better Day, Boscawen, NH
Your sleepy joe impersonation was spot on!😂😂
Now do Trump. 😂
Hey Mike are you ok??? You had a moment there it appeared you lost your way. 😂😂😂
Maybe you should make an anonymous call and have the cops do a "wellness" check? On 2nd thought they may shoot----forget it. Too much late night you tube 😩😩
The mini isn’t for everyone but if it works for you so be it!!
I’ve operated many forklifts and other equipment over the last few decades. I can see the benefits of using this machine. Good move Mike. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
The mini skid is going to be good, but I about lost it with the Biden exit impersonation going to lunch 😂😂😂
- In my opinion you’ve never make a big purchase without weighing all the options. The wide range of comments are the fortunate / unfortunate part of being a you tube producer.
- You Tube commercials… There are all types of unusual commercials that don’t interest me what so ever commercials like poop / laxative , women hygiene products, kitchen knives etc. Political ads turn off like many others. As you say they buy the bills. They are singing to a non listening choir.
After watching you move material around the wood yard with the new machine, it’s clearly a great decision. Productivity will definitely be on the rise!
I love the little talk about the ads and especially the impersonation at the end .
Mike, I find it amazing that folks can't see how useful your new machine is to your way of making bank. The speed, added visibility, and maneuverability of that new machine will more than pay for itself in a short while. Only the short-sighted can't see the advantages of a machine that makes it far safer to do the thing you have been doing with a much larger piece of equipment. Just moving things around has to be much easier now. Lastly, I never really noticed that I don't get ads. It must be the web browser I'm using. I do find it refreshing that you're starting to add more of your views concerning world events. Also, I like that folks get more of what it takes to put money on the table. It seems that many have been insulated as to how that is done. Thanks for all the good work and keep it up. Long Time Viewer from the Sunny Scorching North TX. 🤣
It has been a blast watching all the progress on the road to the woods! Nice job!!
My tree guy uses this machine.
It has totally streamlined his tree crew unbelieveably fast.
He has a climber, a ground man and him on this machine.
They topped ,dropped and cleaned up two 100+ year old oaks from my back yard and dropped two large oaks and topped and dropped a poplar and had everything cleaned up and stacked in 4’ sections for me to cut into rounds in 8 hours.
$1600.00 a day as much as they can get done.
Not a bad price to pay for the sheer amount of work.
This little machine really gets the job done.
He bought his machine used for about $35-K.
It paid for itself in no tiime.
Its low center of gravity is so much more stable than a wheeled tractor.
Its a beast and handled. Gigantic 40” x4’ logs no problem with the grapple.
Absolutely love the new mini skid and been watching for years and still my favorite RUclips channel, can’t wait to see the new tractor, me and my brother both have compact tractors and when we talk that’s our conversation, my boys say let me guess you guys talking about tractors lol
Mike, you are an absolute artist spreading that rock with a skid loader, love your channel.
Many other firewood guys on RUclips have a mini skid and everyone seems to love it. Good Move, Thanks for your channel.
Looks like the new machine is perfect for what you do now and what you will do in the future! Love the videos and that you include your wonderful family!
I have been watching your channel since number seven when you had the 3901 Kabota the box store splitter and the side by side. People don't stop to think how much that equipment saves on time and an aging body. In south Mississippi we use to use oyster and clam shells for our base on driveways and private roads. Our material is a couple hundred millions years younger. Have fun and stay safe!
Saw Tyler made it through the first round tell him congratulations and good luck in the next round
Mike looks like a perfect fit for the wood yard. It is compact swings easy and can haul what you need.
Love your explanations, they are the best. I kept my thoughts to myself about the mini skid. I have since changed my mind for the better. I think you are gonna get your moneys worth out that machine. I love supporting your purchasing of precious metals.
Mike, I don’t care what you get. I just like seeing new toys.
Thank GOD for people like you and your family Love every thing you do
Mike I agree with you. Whatever you want to buy and use is strictly your business. Nobody else’s business. Really that’s all I need to say. We subscribed to your channel and we love and enjoy it. 👍❤️
I’ll admit, when I first saw this, I thought it was stupid and wondered what you were doing, but I watched your video and you explained why it’s a fit for you and it makes perfect sense. As far as a tool, it is more practical for what you’re doing and is a good fit. It’s not as cool as the excavator or, the tractor but as far as specific function and what you’re doing it’s a great option. Especially since you’re talking about going back-and-forth between properties, you can get that and attractor on a single trailer without having to make two trips or leave equipment unattended at the property, it makes a ton of sense.
I wouldn’t even call it a new machine, they’ve had these and industrial applications for decades I think and in warehouses as forklifts they’ve been used forever, but with multiple attachment options, I can remember them at least 20 years ago they may have been around longer, but I think for what you’re doing it’s a great fit And makes a lot of sense. I think it’s just less exciting or cool so in the realm of the Internet, it may not be as popular but I think it’s a great choice for what you’re doing
Love the impersonation and I love that you use the profits to acquire more precious metals!👍🏾
Happy birthday to Hunter. I send my best wishes to him. Great job on laying down the stone on the new road. Hope to see you folks at Boonville in August.
Honesty is the best policy! We need more of it in the world.
I was trying to move a 1000 lb safe and a rental company talked me in to renting a mini skid. Worked like a charm. Drove the forks right in the door and set the safe down on pipes. Then I put the bucket on and took out 11 trees and about 25 bushes. Best money I have spent on rental equipment.
It looks like it’s doing a great job. You can see all around the machine. We had Vermeer drills and and plows to install gas lines. Very efficient very dependable. Have a great day Mike.
