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!
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‼👍🚜😁
Great job Melissa !! Wish i was 25 years younger and the border was open so i could come down there to help out You folks have a lot on your plates right now and are under the gun for the summer festivities !!
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..
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!
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.
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!.
With the trees you have at your own property and owning your own sawmill you are blessed. With the prices for lumber at the store you have saved a fortune. Look forward to seeing the trees harvested and milled. Stay safe.
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!
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.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋🙏🏻🙏🏻
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.
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
I like watching Melissa operating the tractors. Usually, it's just Mike all the time. I think Mike should do a cooking demonstration on " Off the Leash".
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! 🙏🏻💗👏👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
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. 🏝
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 😁
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
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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..
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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. 🤦🏻♂️
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.
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! :)
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.
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!
Mike you should look into the Sweep-All Lawn Sweeper to help clean up the leaves and all the nuts on your property, you can run it on the Kubota bx 23s.
You need to make yourself a kilm to dry that lumber. Get yourself a storage container and add a heater to dry your cut lumber. Store it out of the weather or sell it as fast as it comes out of the kilm. That's what we do down here in the South. When I get the chance I'll take some pics. of what I'm talking about. By the way. cleaning up leaves from the woods in your area is a waste of fuel. What happens when the wind blows it back from across the street? Have fun!
Greg from northern Michigan again. When planting Norway spruce trees in a straight line, they face towards Norway. The same thing applies to ponderosa pines. They must face towards Lake Tahoe and the Bonanza Ranch with Ben, Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe Cartwright 😎. Love your channel !
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.
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.
Check around the base of those dead pines for very fine sawdust and in the bark of those pines, look for little oval holes about a 1/4 of an inch high that will have some sawdust in them. If you find that, that's pine bark beetle and get those trees out of there quickly; they will devastate a pine forest. Out west we know this by experience over the last few years. Trees killed by this beetle aren't even used for mulch, much lest for lumber because of the possibility of spreading the eggs or larvae to other areas.
Wow Melissa you are getting so much better now that you have more hours on the BX and you also seem to be enjoying it too, keep going with the BX tractor 🚜 and the more that you use the better that you will become an operator of said tractor 🚜. Hi Mike, I sure do hope that you can find out what you made your Norwegian Spruces to die like that!!!!!!.
Melissa is doing great with the BX! It takes time and patience to learn tractor skills and Mike is a great operator to watch and learn from.
By the way Melissa You did an excellent job on the yard and using the small tractor! God Bless the Morgans! ❤️👍🙏🇺🇸
Thank you James!
Always enjoying watching your videos. I'm a first time homesteader. Watching your videos always teaches me some new tricks!
thank you!
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
Nice weather Mike. Melissa is a great worker. You have a beautiful forest to live, drive and work with.
Thanks for the trip down to the pines Mike. Melissa you did a wonderful job with the BX!

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!
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.
Great job Melissa !! Wish i was 25 years younger and the border was open so i could come down there to help out You folks have a lot on your plates right now and are under the gun for the summer festivities !!
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..
You did great! I saw you doing 3 things at once and pretty smoothly too. Good for you!!

Good job Melissa on the yard cleanup. One more projects off the list.
Wheels for the York rake would make you much happier. Nice job, Morgans!
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
With the price of lumber these days those pines are a Godsend!
yes it sure is.
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!

You're right with all those trees down there you'll have a boat load of lumber.

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.
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.

Thank you Greg - I will mention it to Mike since I’m not sure how to go about that 😁
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.
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
All that stuff your raking up looks like can be good compost to turn into good garden soil later
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.

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.
Great video! Highly recommend a stihl back pack blower. you wont be disappointed. will help tremendously with those leafs
MELISSA LOOKS LIKE A REAL PRO ON THAT TRACTOR.
You’re a worker Melissa, Mike must be proud!
thank you Marty!
Darn good clean up and about best you could do with a landscape rake. Fine work
Hi Happy to see yall I'm pooped cut back dead bushes but got it done whew have a day love from TEXAS
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.
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.

If the tree damage is from pine beetles, you need to get them out as quickly as possible.
Melissa is doing great on the tractor! Impressed with bucket and 3pt control!!

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
If you ever take that messy hickory down, I’ll be happy to buy some of that wood for my smoker
Melissa sure did a great job on the yard, you got you a great helper Mike
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..
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
Mike said: appreciate y'all being here. In his southern voice. We love y'all down here in Georgia.
Thanks!
Looks like you need some extreme mulching blades for your lawnmower. 😊 ✂ 🌳
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!
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!
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.

Time for the wood chipper for some much needed chipping and make some path's and bedding for plots for the deer.

thank you
That’s cute... “I’m your person” never heard that one before. 👍
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.
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.
Dang what a lucky guy you are mike she just goes and hops on the tractor, grabs a chainsaw, or fires up the chipper and gets it done!
That's great work Melissa! Nice to have all that timber too!
Melissa, Great job. You're a natural! 😎
I see Hunter waiting to tell you great job it's time for BK. 🍔🍟🥓

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.
It takes 2 to be successful in life sky’s will be the limit for the Morgan family
Good job Melissa. You got it lookin real good. 👍👍👍❤️

Thank you Evil brat!
I appreciate this!
After those red pine come out, new food plot!

I will look into it.

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
If those pines where killed off by pine beetles you might get some Blue stain pine which is really nice
The yard is coming together nicely. That foreman, she does some nice work. What causes all the moss to form on all those fallen trees?
Greg from northern Michigan again. When planting Norway spruce trees in a straight line, they face towards Norway.
The same thing applies to ponderosa pines. They must face towards Lake Tahoe and the Bonanza Ranch with Ben, Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe Cartwright 😎.

Pine trees dying here in schuylkill county too ,I was told it's some kind of algae
Three cheers for Melissa!
Wow Melissa you are getting so much better now that you have more hours on the BX and you also seem to be enjoying it too, keep going with the BX tractor 🚜 and the more that you use the better that you will become an operator of said tractor 🚜.
Hi Mike, I sure do hope that you can find out what you made your Norwegian Spruces to die like that!!!!!!.
Thanks Jack I sure do appreciate the vote of confidence!
She did a great job, sure beats using a hand rake.
thank. you and yes I agree
