You don't realize how big a tree is until you have it dug up and laying on the ground in front of you. Thanks Mike. Always enjoy watching you do tree removal.
Hi Mike. Sketchy trees. I did the " same" to my best friend's 2nd house/ driveway. Then I left to live elsewhere after 7th years. Then he " repeatedly" done. What I did 7 yrs ago! We were talking about sketchy trees. He said Every 7 yrs. I do the "same." Cut them down & into firewood/ bonfires. ( He doesn't own an excavator. He will rent one if needed. It's pain. You have to fill it's tank. After using it. He did. But. The renter said " He did fill it "right." 🙄🙄🙄😬😬😬🤔🤔🤔) That's can be tricky moving buildings on your sister's driveway. When my best friend moved his sugarhouse late spring of 2016. He cut down 3 inch trees on thier dirt driveway. Fortunately. No bigger trees. It was a interesting set up moving that sugarhouse. Well. Thanks Mike. Say Hi to Melissa, Melissa's dad, Eva, Hunter, Levi, Kate, Tyler, & Hannah. Then 💐💐💐 💐To Melissa, Eva, Kate, & Hannah. Have a good Tuesday night the 17th. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌳🪵🔥
Mike it is always very rewarding to help out family and friends. No telling how much it would have cost them to have a company come in to do what you just did for them... You be Da Man...
The best thing I have found for the back pain , is the heated seats in the truck . Plus they have the added bonus of keeping take out food warm , especially if you keep it covered with an old blanket .
Nice Clearing Project . And Approaching The Tree Take Down Safely!! And Thoughtfully. And I Was thinking there Would Be Some Stone In The Mix Somewhere With The Looks Of The Mud!! Keep Smiling On!! 😅👍👊❤️
Good morning Morgans and friends. Mike I know all about back pain. Constant,non stop pain. Makes a man miserable. Hope everyone has a great day. Thanks
@PaulMihelic sorry to hear Paul. I'm right there with you. Just got home from my back Dr appointment. Hope you find some relief if that's possible friend.
I’ve had chronic back pain for over 20 years. I try not to let it define me but it definitely has impacted my life. I try not to over do it but at the same time, baby’ing it only makes you weaker. Like you, I let my Kubota excavator do the heavy lifting!
@@stephengmeiner3264 sorry to hear that Stephen. That's one of the hardest parts, both learning and accepting your limits. Too much and your down for days. I'm curious do the both of you have the leg pains? I don't wish it on anyone but till you lived the life, you just can't understand. Atleast we wake up every morning and it's a new day. Your referring to Mike Morgan with the excavator, I wish I had one. Take care friend. Rest easy.
I had sciatica that ran down my leg before my back surgery. I had a herniated disc between L4 & L5 that was smashed against my spinal cord. They fixed that so now I don’t need the 6400 Mg of Motrin each day but I still feel stiffness and lower back pain everyday. I’ve learned to never put anything on the ground that I don’t want to pick up. Tables and workbenches are way better than working on the floor!
Good morning, Morgan's!! Rest that back, Mike, a little longer. There is no sense pushing and making things worse. Thank you for the video. Have a good evening!!
Looking good. I'm sure your brother in law appreciated you doing his job. Alway nice to have someone in the family, with equipment and willing to help out at no cost. 👍
I’m 73 and started having spasms at 17 playing football irritated my spondylitis. A certified trainer at OSU told me (at 35) to apply ice immediately for an hour. Start heat next as needed. Best advice ever!
Yep! I'm not 73, yet. But I'm catching up fast. Same thing happened to me at 17. Cost me a football scholarship. Back in the 70's medical techniques were a little different. Doc said operate or stop contact sports. Chose the latter. Keeping my core strong and doing the specific exercises always have helped get mine back alignment.
On the drive way , winter is the time I like doing that. No leaves to make everything harder to see and move and the ground is softer if not too cold. A bit frozen is good but only couple inches of frost. As Mike Morgan would say ONLY MY OPINION. LOL
Yep those small jobs for the family are a great way to spend the day. Been there and done it for my parents. Bring the kids along to play with the grandparents. Take care Mike and stay safe. All the best from Petawawa, Ontario.
It’s that little half bent over repetitive twisting that does it for me. I have had a few sciatic issues and hot cold therapy and a massaging seat cushion got the fastest relief for me. I love widening driveways and making things easier to get through. Take care.
Love johnny Cash - Country Legend... many great songs. Like the video, and you seem to have what i call "Seasonal Projects" and they work out really well. Hard freeze, good solid ground for in the woods tree work. Seasons for the pond, and many of their projects. Not only i enjoy all the "Morgans" Videos i learn a lot, even Off the Leash, Levi's Eva's channel and the rest. So i guess i can say without fear of contradiction "YOU CAN teach an old dog new tricks. :) [72] thanks, and appreciate the sharing a section of your life. ❤💯🙏
That driveway was a lot of work! Thanks for the mud which helped. I have 5 acres of forest left. I have an easement running on my land for the Sewer lines [2 large]. They cross a corner of the property. Poor neighbors would pick out the knocked over trees and saw up some caught them once taking one down - never talked to them. No sweat to me. Hurricanes always take some. Maybe it will be cleared better.
I suggested bringing a saw but did you listen. Nope! 😂 Love the golden ticket idea! I can't wait to start working on our wood stove project. I could buy and stock up on fire starter but the stove project is a ways away and someone else could use it right now.
Good morning Mr Mike. Give it another 10-15 years & you'll have acks in places you didn't know you had. LOL This 77 y o Old Jarhead in WNC knows....Have a good one bro. Enjoyed our talk this morning.
I think a day like today is the perfect time to deal with those trees! When you pull the stumps out and put the wet dirt/rock back in the holes it packs way better. 35 trees? Doing like you did today would be one day. Levi cutting the root ball off the stubborn ones would be even better. Geterdone!
You alluded to something so true about projects. When you start at a low bar; every improvement seems fantastic. After you live with that improvement for a while you realize it should be 2x or 3x as much :)
Good morning Mike, guess your bag tying machine is getting a workout. You definitely keep busy with all of your projects. That keeps you young and healthy. Best wishes to you and all of your family.
Good morning Folks. Always enjoyable to watch Mike work His magic with Hi Kubota tools. A sawyer helper would make setting out some clean stems to pick up later. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Mike your fire star starter is as poplar as our cub and boy scout pop crop. We would load my wagon and go door to door. It sell out faster then could go get another load.We raised money to go to summer camp .
I don't know if you've ever told the story of your family land. Has it been in the family forever? Does the entire family live on it? How big is it? Are there plans to build a house for Hannah's family on the property? Do you do the maintenance for the entire property on your own? You have a lot going on there, Mike!!!
I was fire and she was gasoline .. that tune was stuck in my head for at least 2 hours. I was walking my dog Molly and found myself humming that song. My wife was like are you okay? Catchy tune :)
I can appreciate your back pain! I have the same issue that Mike has and it crops up once or twice a year. It comes up with just a weird twist doing something easy. Since Eva is on Winter break, get her to help you in the skidsteer or excavator. She has skills!
Been there Mike comes now and again after humping heavy stuff + displaced vertebrae 30 yrs ago playing Rugby, cold temps don't help. So you take it easy. Best wishes from Murthly Scotland
We live on a private road that is about 1.5 miles or so. It is a constant battle with trees growing over the road. They grow towards the light. I sure could use a mini excavator. Be a lot of fun!
Mike always a great day with you, just a quick fyi, Volteran Gel is your best friend with the back issue, available at any pharmacy it works great be safe out there
Good Morning to all the Morgans and the Mackenzies, I am an avid follower of your channel along with Concrete with the Hauses since the beginning. I want to wish all of you a very Blessed and Merry Christmas along with a very Happy and Healthy New Year 2025.
I am sure you have heard of the Rut mowes before I love the one I have. Also, widening the drive will help you ,still have to maintain. Anyway, keep up the great work and videos.
GOOOOOOOD MAAAWNIN EVERYONE!!…Mike, sounds like you need to start doing YOGA to keep your back stretched out…glad you have that machine cuz it saved your back in NOT trying to use a chainsaw….rest up (& I mean REST) if you can… Have a day HELLOOOO HUNTER 😊
Ice,ice,,baby!!! Works best,you have to lay down for a while with that ice on lower back.sacariliac joint left and right..I get it too Mike and sometimes you can hardly breathe.great weather here had lots of rain this last week.god bless you all.
@@devarskinnee8760 - 👍 I shared this also. Having seen multiple doctors and orthopedic surgeons, none ever suggested icing and later heat. It took my recovery from a 7-10 days to a 2-3 days (sometimes less).
Mike, you are absolutely right low back pain is a job stopper. Ive had three lumber surgeries. We heated our home with wood for 35 years. I generally cut two large pickup loads every Saturday. The furnace we had heated our home and our hot water. Wood heat is definitely the most comfortable heat. We certainly saved a lot money healing with wood.
hey mike I used to have the same problems with my back and I thought I could manage it but ad I got into my middle 60s I couldn't and had to have surgery was the best thing I ever did I'm now 72 and can do much more now!
Rut excavator mower will help keep the side of the driveway clean of grass and Over hanging tree branches. Will cut up to 3" diameter. Opens up pathway throughout trails.
Funny story. My wife keeps asking me why say “sketch” instead of sketchy anymore. I laughed and said I must be watching to much of Outdoors with the Morgans.
You don't realize how big a tree is until you have it dug up and laying on the ground in front of you. Thanks Mike. Always enjoy watching you do tree removal.
I like that you do stuff for your folks and siblings. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.

Mike, your excavator skill is incredible! You make it look so easy; however, I know that it isn't at all. Nicely done.
I truly believe nothing worse than lower back pain.merry Christmas, everybody.
Good morning Morgans and friends. Mike I know all about back pain. Constant,non stop pain. Makes a man miserable. Hope everyone has a great day. Thanks
Me too.

Good morning Mr Mike. Give it another 10-15 years & you'll have acks in places you didn't know you had. LOL This 77 y o Old Jarhead in WNC knows....Have a good one bro. Enjoyed our talk this morning.
When you put the logs in sounded like the bells of Christmas very nice
This winter take excavator, pickup with dump trailer saws+ Then cut trees to length haul to log yard and split.
I think a day like today is the perfect time to deal with those trees! When you pull the stumps out and put the wet dirt/rock back in the holes it packs way better. 35 trees? Doing like you did today would be one day. Levi cutting the root ball off the stubborn ones would be even better. Geterdone!

Good morning, Mike. Sorry to hear about your back. I do a lot of stretching. Morning and night seem to help mine. Yoga
Love the sound of the Kubota working, the music, not so much !!
Hey im fire 🔥 &!all my woman are gasoline. Lol happily single does go together. Happily married ????? Ummm
Hello Mike and Melissa! Have a fantastic week!
I want to tell you how I absolutely got hooked and enjoy your videos so much. Keep up the great work and Mary Christmas
I'm glad you admired the chain saw would help speed things up, know what you mean about the back. When mine acts up I use a brace to speed healing.
Nice work !! enjoyed the video , as always !! Thanks
Good morning Folks. Always enjoyable to watch Mike work His magic with Hi Kubota tools. A sawyer helper would make setting out some clean stems to pick up later.

Yes, sir, Mike. Trees are a lot of work. Hope the back gets to feeling better.
With the right equipment makes the job so much easier hope the back feels better I know the feeling almost 59 myself and feeling it
That was so satisfying to watch. Fun machine!
MIKE, ya gotta lot on yer plate, and over the years, your time management skills have been perfected !
Good Morning, Morgan's.
Hope you have a great day
Great video Michael keep um coming
Sorry to hear about your back. Glad you are taking it easy
I don't know if you've ever told the story of your family land. Has it been in the family forever? Does the entire family live on it? How big is it? Are there plans to build a house for Hannah's family on the property? Do you do the maintenance for the entire property on your own? You have a lot going on there, Mike!!!

I was fire and she was gasoline .. that tune was stuck in my head for at least 2 hours. I was walking my dog Molly and found myself humming that song. My wife was like are you okay? Catchy tune :)
You could say the driveway widening project has snowballed into something much more 😂
I remember you use to cut all of it up for firewood 🎉
I can appreciate your back pain! I have the same issue that Mike has and it crops up once or twice a year. It comes up with just a weird twist doing something easy.
Since Eva is on Winter break, get her to help you in the skidsteer or excavator. She has skills!
Oh, and by the way, have Hannah teach Bo how to operate the bag closure device and put him to work!
Fire and Gasoline by David Jack Marshall - Great song....
Been there Mike comes now and again after humping heavy stuff + displaced vertebrae 30 yrs ago playing Rugby, cold temps don't help. So you take it easy. Best wishes from Murthly Scotland
Great video. It reminds me of my dad working in the woods. Great memories. Keep those videos coming.
Mike you could really use a drum or disk mulcher attachment for your excavator. It would make clearing your roads/trails fast and easy.
Good morning Mike and family from Crawford County, Pa.have a day.
We live on a private road that is about 1.5 miles or so. It is a constant battle with trees growing over the road. They grow towards the light. I sure could use a mini excavator. Be a lot of fun!
Awesome video! Always enjoy yalls videos!!😊
Morgan family have a good day looks good out there Mike stay warm be safe have a good day
Mike always a great day with you, just a quick fyi, Volteran Gel is your best friend with the back issue, available at any pharmacy it works great be safe out there
I have a sore back too. Stretching it out😊
Good job taking care of yourself. Takes a little longer, but not getting injured is more important.

Anyway, keep up the great work and videos.

Good morning just a suggestion about your back try the hanging up side down for initial for short period of time and then add time
GOOOOOOOD MAAAWNIN EVERYONE!!…Mike, sounds like you need to start doing YOGA to keep your back stretched out…glad you have that machine cuz it saved your back in NOT trying to use a chainsaw….rest up (& I mean REST) if you can…
Have a day
HELLOOOO HUNTER 😊
You make tree removal look easy - when it isn’t. Skills!!!!
.. shade canopy and seclusion is valuable also ...
Just go ahead and do it this winter when you can’t do something else 😅Oh ya take a saw with you the next time 😅
Great job love your videos thank you
ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE !!!~
Good morning from NC, Mike! Try an inversion table for your back. Best $200 I ever spent.
Merry Christmas to you and the family!
Mike's version of "taking it easy" is removing a dozen trees. 😆
❤❤🎵🎵

Hi Mike,N Melissa good fire wood off the bank
Hello Mike your excavator still looks brand new you sure do take care of equipment.
Gravel and a ROLLER! Looking forward to you getting a Roller! One day!
That little excavator is impressive !
hey mike I used to have the same problems with my back and I thought I could manage it but ad I got into my middle 60s I couldn't and had to have surgery was the best thing I ever did I'm now 72 and can do much more now!

I can hear your nephew, Damn uncle Mike I know what I’ll be doing before pumpkin season. lol
👍great video, Mike 😎
