By the way Melissa You did an excellent job on the yard and using the small tractor! God Bless the Morgans! ❤️👍🙏🇺🇸
Thank you James!
I’ll say one thing, Melissa is great mother, wife, and fantastic worker. Mike has really got fantastic wife, that does so much to help him on their property. Great job Melissa!
thank you Luis.
So nice to see that Melissa has a great helper like Mike. Smile
Mike, in your last video you said your best purchase you ever made was your property. After watching this video, I'd say your best purchase was your marriage license!
Come on....sparkling water?.....everybody knows that when you see a woman operatin’ on equipment she’s got a couple cans of PREMIUM beverage: Nat’y Light!
Laughing!
All right! There's you enough wood for several sheds/covers for the sawmill, implements, lumber storage and firewood storage and you'll need a pool house too. Such great insight years ago when you bought the land there, you paid for the land and it continually pays you back. Melissa did a good job in that short amount of time, so nice to have a partner who will help with the work outside in addition to all the other work she does. Y'all just got it‼👍🚜😁
Now Mike just needs to find the time to cut and saw those trees, go to work, film and edit videos, and finish the inside of the new building.
Hi Keith, thank you for this comment.
@@robertdendooven7258 ha ha YES Exactly right.
@@Morgansunleashed Not to mention digging a hole next to the porch on the new building for the pool, right Melissa!
If the tree damage is from pine beetles, you need to get them out as quickly as possible.
With the price of lumber these days those pines are a Godsend!
yes it sure is.
You definitely wont have a shortage of lumber!!, ok I've got say melissa you did a really good job operating the tractor cleaning up the lawn!!. Morgans have a day!.
Thank you Steve.
Coffee and The Morgan’s in the morning! No better way to start the day! I’m liking the exploring the woods, and the tranquility of it! Love from Portage Indiana! 🙏🏻💗👏👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
thanks for watching, and this comment.
A few years ago we lost a huge population of ash caused from a infestation: prior we lost a large amount of hemlocks, again from some European bug . All in massachusetts
HOTTEST THING IN CARHARTS! Give her a bandana around her head could be ROSIE THE RIVETER! Now you know how she keeps in shape!
Melissa is looking good running that tractor! Mike might be out of a job if she learns to run that excavator!!!
I have been finding myself removing the Shagbark Hickory more and more.
I leave some for the squirrels, but the Hickorys put out toxins to prevent other growth around them, and also their canopy is quite dense and shade the understory.
They do make for good BBQ firewood.
Always enjoying watching your videos. I'm a first time homesteader. Watching your videos always teaches me some new tricks!
thank you!
That wasn’t water Melissa, It was a can of Special Brew. Does Mike know you’re drinking while he is at work. Maybe that why you did such a good job with the machines.
Surprise,Suprise,Eva had plans,probably doing her nails.
ouch!
I will let Daughter Eva answer this.
Melissa- great job with the rake!
thank you
Melissa you did great girl the more you do the more comfortable you will get
thank you
Did a disease kill those pines or they just reached their life expectancy? Pine beetles killed a bunch of my pines.
Mike, you may have missed my comment on the previous video. Check for a gas line under the Red Pine, a leak would kill anything above the line.
In western New York we had a Sirex wasp infestation that killed the red pine.
If you ever take that messy hickory down, I’ll be happy to buy some of that wood for my smoker
It’s good You paid attention to the trees and will get use from them! Here in Mississippi the Forestry Service have let acres of pine timber go to waste! This is on National Forest Land! The Feds mismanage a lot of things! Years back their management practices were much better. They took better care of the land 20 to 30 yrs ago. Then they just dropped the ball!
Forgive my rant on the Timber but we have
thousands of acres of national forest land in
Mississippi. It is beautiful land I just wish they would better manage it.
Mike & Melissa - Well, I'm waaay behind on my viewing. I began back on 3/18 and did some back to back to back viewing today. Been busy with other stuff while down here in Florida. Enjoyed all of your video work. The music and drone footage especially. Good to see Melissa on the BX doing the clean-up, which if I remember a couple of videos was going to be Eva's job. But hey, stuff happens, and it's done. Nice to see the continuing work in the building and the work on the ground next to the outside of the building. Blessings to you both, and to your family. Hi to Hunter, Hannah, and Eva.
Hi Merle how are you?
Thanks for watching and catching up on the videos.
Thanks
Malissa looks great on the tractor. It fits her. Mike, not so much. Looks like a man on a toy. Of course Malissa always looks good👌
Great job on the cleanup Melissa!! Mike should have put the small grapple on the BX and dropped the trailer close by to load the leaves and sticks for the burn pit. He would have been shocked when he got home that it was done and ready for him to dump. Have A Day!!!
Thank you Robert. I feel I will think of those options as time goes on, but I was nervous to do this much, plus cameras.
Mike Get out the wood chipper, chip onto a tarp..Milissa is a peach .......
.......
Melissa is just down right Awesome! She is Fearless, but in a good way. Love to see her "get 'er done" when Mike isn't even home. You go Girl!! #HaveADay #OWTM #OutdoorsWithTheMorgans #MOTL #MorgansOffTheLeash
Debbie how are you?
You are such a good friend! Thank you for watching and all the kind comments
What is wrong with those vehicle drivers not one beeped at a gorgeous lady on a tractor. They all are some kind of sick.
It takes 2 to be successful in life sky’s will be the limit for the Morgan family
You’re a worker Melissa, Mike must be proud!
thank you Marty!
Looks like you need some extreme mulching blades for your lawnmower. 😊 ✂ 🌳
I must have missed the episode when you revealed the Kubota Sidekick. I thought you were a Polaris guy.
When Kubota loans you one, you become a Kubota guy.
Noting better than walking in the woods mike you have one nice piece of property sweet
Lady BX great look Melissa!
Thank you Wendy I sure do appreciate this
I thought it was odd when you said the Norway spruce were dying. Those things live forever. If you clear those dead pines out ,the will grow huge .Yours look a little spindly because of being too clos together . Ihave one standing alone and it is 32 inches in diameter 2 feet above the ground, a massive tree around 50-60 feet tall. It dwarfs my two story house.
Mike looks like pine bark beetle damage if trunk looks like it was shot with bird shot that is the cause.
Good morning Morgan’s! Great job on the BX Melissa! Haha, Mike driving you to drink!😂😂 Have a day!
thank you !
Hi Mike, Looking at the row of dead pine. It may be as simple as being overshadowed by the taller trees around them. pine can be light sensitive. Do you still have the smaller wood mizer? put a trailer kit on it and take it to the trees with the side kick. Awesome job with BX Melissa.
Morning from Naples, Fl. Mike you are great on the equipment, but Melissa did a great job on the tractor. It would be interesting seeing her develop skills on the other machines. Skills develop through practice, experience and confidence. Good job as always, guys..
WHY NOT PICK UP ALL THOSE FALLEN TREES AND USE SOME FOR FIREWOD?
MELISSA LOOKS LIKE A REAL PRO ON THAT TRACTOR.
Thanks M&M, I enjoyed the walk through the woods! My wife and I are going to start using Hello Fresh. Very encouraging comments from friends that are already signed up..
Greg from northern Michigan. Nice work Melisa ! I added a pair of adjustable depth gauge wheels on the rear of my landscape rake to control grass scalping. Maybe be an option for you too 😁
Thank you Greg - I will mention it to Mike since I’m not sure how to go about that 😁
Wonder if someone dumped something upstream that got into the tree roots?
After those red pine come out, new food plot!
It's fun to watch the squirrels tear up those hickory nuts. You can't cut them open with a saw but the squirrels get right into them!
Two Words "Buffalo Turbine" a 3 point blower for the tractors, this will clean your yard / leaves like no tomorrow, and will also work great at the renewable resource processing area! clearing all the wood and sawdust from the 2A limestone is a breeze so to speak.
Good job Melissa. You got it lookin real good. 👍👍👍❤️
Great job Melissa, you looked comfortable on the BX, and did a fine job of raking!! " Drive me to drink was funny!!
thank you Loral
Actually, the way you were going, you drove yourself to drink... Didn't need Mike for that... Gary
Mike! Melissa was showing you up on operating the rake she done A Awsome Great Job!!
Nice Work Melissa!!👍👊
Do either of you own a hotrod Lincoln?
All that stuff your raking up looks like can be good compost to turn into good garden soil later
Melissa, Great job. You're a natural! 😎
I see Hunter waiting to tell you great job it's time for BK. 🍔🍟🥓
Nice weather Mike. Melissa is a great worker. You have a beautiful forest to live, drive and work with.
Great job Melissa, you handled the BX really well and scraped just right. Got it cleaned up ready for Mike to do the rest of the prep and planting. 👍👍. Won’t take it long to green up down there. Do you folks harvest the Hickory nuts? Looks like you are going to be busy getting those pines out for milling so things can green up down there too. Thanks for sharing with us, looking good around there. Fred.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Fred.
Great job on the ground clean up Melissa. Odd that trees died in a straight row. Hope you look into the reason, very curious. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸
Nothing in nature is perfectly straight. So those red pine trees were likely planted many years ago before Mike had the property.
thank you Mike
@@bwillan not worried about straight planting, curious why they died and not the others.
Another wonderful job tackled by your wonderful helpmate! Nice to reconnoiter what lumber you have “on the hoof” so to speak. Enjoyed the short time with y’all this morning❣️ Marcus from Chesapeake VA.
Always love to see your comment Marcus.
@@oldmanfred8676 you are a wonderful staple of OWTM comments. It’s a shame we couldn’t all meet up - with Mike & Melissa would be a bonus!
@@marcuswhite3628,
👍
Just got thru reading the 15 page thread on TBN. Mike, you represented yourself and the channel well. It made me proud to be a subscriber. Thanks for all you do!
🤔hmm wonder what I am missing
Always a great video when Melissa is the star! Standing trees can be a lot of work but they are worth every ounce of it. I have a gum tree that makes me rake gum balls every couple weeks but I so enjoy the shade when it gets hot outside, and the color of the leaves in the fall. I get exercise raking gum balls so there is an added benefit. 🏝
thank you David
Time for the wood chipper for some much needed chipping and make some path's and bedding for plots for the deer.
Good job cleaning up Melissa!
Mike you got more "cleaning up out in those woods than you'll ever be able to accomplish, but oh what FUN!! lol
thank you
Thanks for the trip down to the pines Mike. Melissa you did a wonderful job with the BX!
thank you Keith
Your a lucky man Mike I can’t get my wife to look at our Tractor much less run it
Oh if I can - I will suggest you invite her to watch your tractor and invite her to take a turn.
Sometimes invite is exactly what we need
Thank you
Love the video Mike and Mel did very good job too .
Melissa, you are one heck of a catch for Mike. Getting out there on the BX w/rake. Looks like your getting more comfortable with it besides. Stay safe an go "Fluster" Mike some more. Thinks he likes that from you!
Thank you Evil brat!
I appreciate this!
Melissa, if ever there were a person who deserved a cold one in the evening, you qualify hands down! love your getting the hang of the BX and hope you enjoy it as much as Mike wants us to believe (-: Seeya.
Thank you! I appreciate this and yes I do enjoy it!
Great Job, Melissa! You look like a natural on that tractor! Hopefully, we'll see more of you on these machines in the future? Just think of what Ty is going to think of his "Nana" working on those machines he likes! :)
That rake is AMAZING
Goodmorning Morgans and everyone watching this episode. Yes those dead trees are a goldmine for you Mike with things going up in price and i dont see it stopping. Melissa you did a great job on the front lawn. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Timberwolf
Clearly you need a Material Collector System or a Sweep-All.
How come I never see Mike wearing his seat belt ? he preaches to you to wear the belt is he EXEMPT ?
Hi Michael, he does wear it, it is on while he is in the sidekick
Good job Melissa on the yard cleanup. One more projects off the list.
Good morning Hunter.
You're right with all those trees down there you'll have a boat load of lumber.
thank you
Always enjoy your video's, Thanks for sharing!
thank you
Spent several days doing the same thing on my Mahindra 1626 with a 6ft rake. They do a lot of work in a short time. Have a blessed week.
Really enjoy y’all’s videos in the morning while drinking my coffee with chicory
thank you
Bruce Bruce Meeks you have a great family An really great
support from your wife Bruce clayton NORTH CAROLINA
a big hello to Hunter
I thought it looked a little like a Miller High Life until I saw the label.
ha ha I don't drink alcohol, so I wanted to be sure it was mistaken as beer.
@@Morgansunleashed Yeah, I didn't figure it was, as I've never seen anything like that on the channel. You did a great job on the BX, and I liked Mike's walk in the woods. Have a great day, Jason
Mike I think some of those "Dead trees" you walked thru are Larch, deciduous evergreens, don't be too quick to cut! Love the vids!
thanks Curt, worth waiting and see.
I'll bet nuts would have a game of dominos with those trees and have them on the ground in no time
I'm with Peter come on Mike
Hey, that was Eva's job! There should be a life lesson for when someone else has to step in to do your job.
Bad Eva! No Saturday Night live for you!. shame...shame...and thrice shame.
Mom saves the day.
Great work Melissa!
:-)
Show nuff now that's what I'm talk"n bout..."Out Doors wif The Chipper Chick"🖐🤣😜😎🍻Cheers
Oh, that wasn't an old can of Miller, Melissa? I thought that explained why you were scraping sod with the rake 😂😋
ha ha thank you Kodiak
HI MIKE FROM THE UK HERE I was thinking if you have all that fallen branches could you not use a wood chipper and use as a bio fuel only a thought could save some dollars
Howdy Morgans, dang Mike has all the fun dropping the trees then runs off to "work" leaving the real work of cleaning up his mess to Melissa. Which after 30+ years of marriage Melissa is like yep another fine mess you have left me Mr. Morgan! Melissa great job running the BX I was waiting for you to hook up the dump trailer to the Jeep, jump in the excavator, load your debris pile into it, haul it down to the burn pit and start a raging fire. Hey Mike call Nuts 319 to fall those pines. He posted a new video were he drops about that many pines on half a tank of fuel in 12 minutes or so. Have a Day! ;~)
A bunch of Shagbark Hickories on our property. Kind of messy with all the nuts that fall on the ground but the trunks have a unique look.
Great video! Highly recommend a stihl back pack blower. you wont be disappointed. will help tremendously with those leafs
Mike , money is not the end all , Retire , enjoy your life . Your property is where you LIVE !!!!! Work , well , I guess if you really HAVE to , but trust me . You will spend so much less not working , and you will Love every day . Got forced out of work , due to illness , and wife retired , BIG cut in income . Have never been happier , we adjusted , and do what is important to us , and We own our days .
Mike, there’s a big tree burl at the base of one of your pines that a wood turner would love to have for turning a bowl or something. You might want to save it. It’s between 11:30 and 12:00 min.
thank you,
Daughter Eva has had like 3 weeks to clean up that front yard.....annnnd now all of a sudden, she has "plans"
Time to lay the law down on that young lady. She didnt do it on the small 1 acre, now she has to do it on that back 90 acres. All kidding aside, would be cool to see some of the kids more involved with these videos/maintenance/jobs of the property.
I bet Eva could run that BX and run circles around Mike haha, girls rule, boys drool
Mike, you might be out job soon. Melissa is getting good running the machinery LOL. Melissa I know you are not drinking anything bad. Good Job Melissa Have a Great Day Mike and Melissa.
Those pine ,your going to harvest , the top that you are not going use for lumber, is excellent for firewood. If they are 6 to 8" , they are great for outdoor fire pits. Most of those , you dont have to split. They burn fairly hot. Not as long lasting as your hardwoods. That's what we use in Canada . Very nice camps fires and great smell when burning. Hope you try some. Branches are great kindling for fire starting. Just a suggestion. Thanks Dan. Edmonton , Alberta , Canada.
Three cheers for Melissa!
Love the videos. I noticed that there were some thumbs down. What could people possibly be upset about with this video. Keeping the dead timber out allows sunlight in for other plants and as you said, will create a bunch of lumber, that didn’t have to ride on a truck. 🤦🏻♂️
I saw Hunter standing by the new building while Melissa was taking a break. Thanks for explaining the sparkling water. I'd like to know why those pines died.Please keep us informed. Thanks for sharing.
thank you
Big thumbs to Melissa for jumping in and starting the yard cleanup. That should leave a little more time for Mike to work on lumber for the new building. Didn't take her long but it would have eaten up the whole of Mike's evening. I hope to see a lot of Red Pine falling soon.
jack
Good morning Morgan family ☕️ your music filler had me toe tappin and head noddin 🤣 have a blessed day
thank you
Mike and Melissa, you might want to get a set of forks for the BX. I use mine on my BX22 for pushing deadfall, and limbs. Works a treat.
Hi Morgan’s. I use my rock rake all the time like you were using it. Just wanted to mention you can spin that rake around and back towards the pile. That might have saved you some of the physical stuff. Gotta know I am old and always looking for the easiest way... lol. Have a day!
I live in Gaines Michigan I have 47 acres and in my front we had 13 pines all of them 30in across at the base. But the main lines ran through at an angle or I would have fell them. Because of the eminent domain from our power company they cut them all down. They hired a really good company and I helped them when they cut the trees, there's a beetle devastating the pines trees here. Hopefully they just died of natural causes. Cause they bores like 6 to 8 inches into the wood. But I cannot wait to see you get them out of there
