Crazy STORY! When I was a Plebe (freshman year) at the Naval Academy in 1978 my roommate was from Butler, PA. Brad Stewart was his name and we were to be roommates our Sophomore year too, but he passed away that summer. Years later when I was a Captain for Alaska Airlines (1998) based in Anchorage, AK, I was paired up with a new First Officer who was from Butler, PA and after conversing for awhile he told me that my roommates mom was his Sunday School teacher in a small Baptist Church in Butler.
SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!!!
I love Eva’s enthusiasm. Many girls would not be interested in much of that fair. Good on her!
i have new respect for Eva, she does have a varied interest in life and a great personality. Glad to see more interaction with the family too.
My world has returned to normal. I have a cup of coffee and a great Outdoors With The Morgans video on Tuesday morning. I know you were struggling to get videos up. I was struggling because I had to go four days a week without anything worth watching. Thanks for the great videos. I do appreciate them, however many of them that you are able to post.
Amazing machine… like magic. I know it takes the right combo of equipment and operator. And the operator has great judgement. Never miss a chance to hang out with Eva! Blessings abound!
Mike, I have Bush hogged fields for 55 years ... that thing is amazing!! it leaves almost nothing!! Never seen anything like it
Yea I don’t know if it’s the stuff I was cutting or what but it’s like just gone
Awesome Awesome job & loved the farm show ❤❤❤❤❤
Go Trump. ❤
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Yes, it pretty much shreds those weeds. How has it done with MF Rose clumps you’ve done? I’m sure it’s better than my brush hog, and that leaves a satisfactory shredded clump. 😉
Mike that’s the biggest stand on mower I’ve ever seen.😂 All kidding aside it’s an amazing machine in its versatility. Love your content and commentary.
Mike,it was kind of special to see family members doing different stuff around the wood yard and up by the house with your better half 😮😊❤
Mike your kids are top of the world 😊 they have a great way of showing that they are good people ❤
Your Vermeer/Virnig combination is thee Cuisinart of brush cutters! Very, very impressive!
I have a 78in brush mower on my skid steer. It is 92 hp and I can barely tell if the mower is turning or not it doesn't bog it down at all. I used it last weekend to mow trails around my deer stands and it was awesome . Its rated to mow 7 inch trees and it will with no problem .
Love the county fair and the truck and tractor pulls!! Super fun!! Thanks for showing your fair!!
Started going to Butler Farm show in 1955. Tractors, combines, harvesters😅 20:50 I climbed on all of them more the once till I was about 15. Lots changed since those days. Glad y'all had a great time with Eva
Life is good. Glad you and yours are enjoying the blessings from the God
I loved the Farm Show video! The Missouri State Fair is this week in Sedalia, and it's pretty much exactly like your Farm Show. We'll probably go on Thursday... only about an hour drive. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Choking up the radiator w cut dry weeds was inevitable. It was very wise of you to monitor that. That's all part of taking care of your equipment. I'd bet there's thousands out there that would have operated it till it was overheated. Out Toyota LP gas lifts at work were fuel injected and super smooth to operate. But the radiator fan sucked the dust off the floor. Several times a week, I'd raisethe cab and blow out the radiator, then i had to blow everything else off, including myself. It really held the dust. Taking care of your machine, kudos Mike, for showing that. Eva asking dad to go w?? Really?? I would have imagined two or a couple dozen hot guys going w!! That is precious!! Kids bring the very best joy in life. Hunter has special needs, but he blesses his family just the same, if not more. I've 3, 2 boys, one daughter, she's the oldest, now 43. And 5 wonderful grandchildren. I am truly blessed. Heck yeah, you'll go w Eva, and w the camera on, immortalizing that memory. That sure put happy all over me!!! Grandma spent a week w her new grandson. Telling us about it had her smile even brighter! Thank You God for our children!!❤ Thank you for sharing your real w us. What a sweet video. Always good stuff, always!! Im so happy, thanks.👍❤️🚜🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Mike that little cutter really chews everything up. It’s a cutting machine! That field looked good when you got done with it! It was good to see Melissa and Eva. Cool video 👍❤️
Got the whole family working!……it’s a “Good Thing."
A bit of advice for daughter Eva:
I've did many things in my working career and one of them was personal training....When you start talking to potential clients be wary of people who ask multiple questions about diet and workout regimens...A large percentage of these people, under the guise of "I'm interested in your services", will pump you for the information they want and you'll never see them again (In fairness though, some of this was my own pre-policy, about a year plus in, fault. I would talk to potential clients for 30-45 minutes and kill their need for any of my services).
I made it a policy afterwards to answer a small handful of questions about my service and how I could help them, a diet question or two and no more than two workout schedules.
After the above was reached, I would courteously tell them that I'll will cover any other questions in a training session or I'd be happy to schedule a half hour (paid) consultation with you......Some would walk off...No loss though...They just wanted something for free....A number of these people would do a consultation and/or book sessions.
Best of luck
Miss Eva
I went to farm shows and county fairs, and the Lehigh roundup in Lehi Utah was a big deal in our town. I enjoyed seeing Eva today. I wish her well in her CERT and personal training adventure. I watched her make up T-shirt with a boot on it. She is doing well.
Enjoyed the video. Great to see father daughter time. Your videos get better and better.
The Vermeer Chomper is a beast. just think what a bigger one on a 70 hp tractor could do! Loved the farm show video haven't been to one in many years, that would have been a blast. You should go to the rodeo too!
What a Blessing having your daughter aSK YOU TO JOIN HER.
Great video Mike so nice to see Eva liking to be evolved with dad so nice to see you guys are doing great with getting the kids involved you don’t see that as much as you should 🥰🥰👍🙏
Great video as always. Thanks for taking us to the Farm Show. It's been years since I attended it in person.
Cool video, Mike. Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you for showing the stuff at the farm show I really liked that Here fair we call that a fair
I could watch that thing eat all day. Awesome tool.
Thank you for another video. I especially enjoyed the farm show.
Growing the family business and managing a busy day with the crew in the woodyard demonstrates your incredible dedication and leadership. Your ability to balance hard work and teamwork while expanding the family’s legacy is truly inspiring. It’s wonderful to see how you drive progress and success with such passion and commitment. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!
Looks like y'all have got things going on. I can feel just a little hint at a change in our weather, but not much. Stay safe!
Good morning Mike and family. Glad you were able to go to the show with Eva and have a little fun. That machine is crazy how it makes everything disappear..
Good stuff 👏
I too started with personal training Eva - if you wanna make a career of helping folks in this way look into becoming a physical therapist you seem well fit for that kind of work - very rewarding and job securry
That weed wacker is a MONSTER!
Really enjoyed seeing the sights at the fair, reminded me of the good old days when I was growing up. Never missed the Somerset Counnty fair until I left home. A steering wheel knob would be a nice addition to the mower, makes one hand operation while filming easier.
Morning Mike and family.... enjoy your Tuesday...
Pete 🇨🇦
Mike thanks for the farm show walk around, I too haven't been in years. ....
As the skid steer was starting to bog all I could think about, and I think about it regarding your channel quite a bit for some reason is the Diamond Eq. videos when they lent you the forestry mulcher. I think about that machine a lot, probably because some of the folks I follow have similar units and flail mowers are kind of the rage now. With that said I have not seen a piece of equipment as effective/destructive/useful as that was for clearing property. I was kind of surprised you didn't get one with this Kubota 97 and I wasn't sure how big the machine was so I went back and found the videos. Your machine would handle it the same, but I'm afraid if you had one the property would be stripped and I would be watching Morgans development and estate acers! The trees would be gone! lol I liked your comment too, back at someone that commented about you being a commercial and I laughed at your response. Remember you said this is a hundred k machine that I could never afford? lol I think that was 5 years ago and look at your operation now. I don't think you had an operation back then. Scouring through those videos was a lot of fun. Looking how you started and where you are now. You turned back then into a business and you may have bought a hundred k just in stone! lol Good times!
The oxen barn and cattle barns were where I spent my time at the fair.
I enjoyed the farm show, reminded me of our Monroe county fair here in Mi. with all the animals and tractor pull. Different events each day.👍👍
That mini is a business. Wow. Air ride trailees, drop to the groind, deliver totes, spruce up driveways. Delivery pickup is $500.00. Eva and Eli both will love that tool.
The farm show was fun. I like truck and tractor pulls. It looks like business around camp morgan is booming. Stay safe everybody
Eva paint some smile faces on log ends 😊
22:03
Loved The Video!! Covered a lot Of Different Things Going On!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
Hey Mike, at the 7:50 mark, regarding the clogged radiator, I have the same issue with my MX-5400.
I got tired of running back to my shed to blow the dust out of the radiator, so I bought a “snail shell” cordless blower and carry it on my tractor.
It works great and saves a LOT of time!!!
I can't believe that amazing cut. Those thick, heavy weeds just literally disappear with that equipment 😮
That mower or brush hog does an outstanding job cause that stuff was thick
Good morning Morgans and friends. I watched video #8 i believe it was last week. Your not kidding about how the wood yard has changed! Give Hunter a 👋 high 5 ,tell family hello please, and have a day. Thanks
I’d love to see Mike and Melissa do a tractor pull contest at the homestead with all the different stuff: sided by side, mower, tractor, mini skid.
That mower is a beast, it really knocked that field down. Just a suggestion, maybe put a framed screen in front of the radiator grill to prevent the radiator from getting plugged.
Morning Morgan's from BUCKS COUNTY, pa . What a beautiful Tuesday morning loving this weather. Everyone have a wonderful week.
Mike, I went back and watched some of your first videos could not believe how hard you used to work with that small single splitter and even splitting it by hand and stacking the wood Looks like nowadays you’re working smarter not harder. I love to watch your videos every week.
I started bushhogging over sixty years ago and a very experienced far er told me that you ten hp per foot of bushhogg. Your Vemeer seems to sized right. You are right about your business growth because i saw num ber seven a few weeks ago and all you had was the 3901 and the red splitter. Times fly by when you are having fun. Have fun and stay safe!
Vemeer makes a nice machine and you do a great job of showing it off for them! I went the brush hog route for my little tractor and my forest experience with a brush hog. Got 3 rows into this new field that I've never cut before and blam! My first experience with an iceberg of a rock, did some nasty damage to my new brush hog and may have damaged my PTO in the process 😬. That was a very nice flat field you were cutting but i would dread having any encounter with an iceberg with that vemeer!
Hello Morgan family...Love your videos and everyone's work ethic. Been watching for several years but just now commenting. Please keep them coming.
How long will you have to let the concrete cure, before you put your equipment back on it Mike? Awesome that you got to spend some time with Eva! God bless and stay safe guys! Bye!
Good morning y'all !!! Great to have a Tuesday morning video again, hello from British Columbia.
That's funny
We were at the show watching the truck, and Tracktor pulls. We were sitting in the bigger Grande Stands. If you like rodeos, North Washington's Rodeo is nice. You have to get there early to get a good seat.
It benefits the fire department.
Great operation overall. I really enjoy watching and learning. God bless the Morgans!
Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day 🤠
GOOOOOOOOD
TUESDAY MORNING EVERYONE OUT THERE IN OWTM’s VIDEO LAND!!!…another nice video. Very cool 😎 that your daughter wanted to to with Dad to the farm show…need more of that in this country imho.
Thanks for sharing
Have a day
HELLOOOO HUNTER 😊
Hi Mike, I’ve seen on other channels where they adapted a common furnace filter to sit in front of the radiator, keeps the radiator cleaner and the furnace filter can be removed and cleaned when needed, they claim it keeps the temperature cooler. Just food for thought. 😊
Mike was given instructions for the farm show too. Don’t bring home a piece of equipment.
Eva, enjoy your schooling. Before you know it, you’ll be working full time for the rest of your life.
Good morning from central Michigan. That cutting job looks like a forest from your camera angle.... Great machine...!!
When you load into the trailer that thing looks very stylish before you loading tractor
Mike, you are in your Happy Place on the field clearing & grass mowing. I can see it in your face & voice. You should of just cut the whole field for the peace of mind. Next you'll be doing the lawn transformation videos! Thanks for the video. Greetings from the Old Jarhead in WNC. Another year older.....
That "mower" does an amazing job.
Vermeer is great! Trust you keep an EPIPEN with you. Lotsa folks are ok with a couple of stings, a dozen and things can get dangerous very quickly. God bless you all & God bless America! TFS
I cant belive the nice weather we are having in August it's amazing!.
Attach some sort of screen on the outside of that black steel radiator-grille so you can just wipe / blow the fine particles off the screen with your hand. If no screen is there, the small radiator fins may still build up residual residue internally which will create heat-buildup over time even if you just blow it off, and a screen may prevent that.
As flat as you stack the wood in the baskets, have you tried stacking them 2 high in order to save floor space. Looks like it would be doable and would save you a ton of space.
I'd hate to run into an old cattle wire fence line with that brush destroyer. It would probably just chop it up into a thousand pieces, and you wouldn't even know that you hit it.
That farm show was cool, thanks for taking us along.
Good luck to Eva for everything she's got going on.
The more i see the Mini "Beast" the more i like it. It is a hoss, and mowed that field really great. The finished grass behind it looks really nice, and those saplings you cut before left nice chips behind it as well. Fall is a beautiful time of year, esp where you guys are the trees start turning, cooler days, makes a person frisky: thanks Mike :) ❤💯🙏
If they have a reversing fan option for the Vermeer, that would pay for itself when using that brush cutter.
Both you and Melissa have done a great job instilling a hard work ethic and good human values for your family. This is what the world needs to become a better place. I applaud you both
Good morning Morgans,
If Eva likes rodeos. North Washington is having a nice rodeo this week. In July the Flying W has a rodeo in Tionesta Pa. They have cabins to rent and rv sites. They have horseback riding available.
Well done Eva
You are building a nice operation--congrats!
When everything is clicking, that one day. The Morgan's getting work done.
Eva is awesome....good job Dad!!!
Great stuff team good to see family all working together
That mini skid does an amazing job
“It’s like he’s posing” 😂totally was!
Mike that machine is unbelievable!!!
Why not put a conveyor in the floor before you concrete the shelter to collect and move the sawdust from the sawmill? It would save a lot of work and mess.
Mike. Have you thought about driving out onto the beaver tail before lowering it to prevent the sudden drop when cresting over. I know my trailers beaver tail is rated to lift way more than the trailer is rated to haul. I know it’s not that big of a deal but a thought.
Hello! 😊 Farm shows or fairs are great. I remember going every year to the Canfield Fair in the Youngstown area.
Good morning David 👋👋😸
Good morning David.
@@badcat4707Hi BadCat, Happy Mewsday! 😸
Good Morning David..... #1, as always 😊
@@peteatthefarm4459 morning Pete!
Went to the Farm show last week, Rodeo this week!!
Eva has always been beautiful but now she is gorgeous! She should be modeling with that gorgeous smile.
Should pour concrete out under the over hang…later on you might think dang I should have had extended the concrete out
I see one advantage for concrete for the lean two. Really good idea to stop moisture under the equipment with a slab and moisture barrier you won’t have to be worried about equipment rusting so quickly. I know there’s air movement but it’s still a problem. Have a great day.
I noticed an excavator behind you that wasn't orange, hmmm. Something different on the job there Mike 😉
That's an amazing brush hog under ideal conditions.
I always enjoy your music selections
Does a great job. I could never use one of those. I like cabbed tractors for mowing in case you hit a bees nest. On one of those your in trouble.
Good morning to Hunter 👋👋😸and family and friends / Mike you've just started a new "thing" ! Every day carry machine 😹😸😹
Good morning my friend. Hope you have a great day and are well. 🙏 ❤
Morning BadCat.... hope you have a great Tuesday..... enjoy
Good morning!
@@HallnoutMhall / thank you friend - you too 👍🙏😸
@@peteatthefarm4459 / thanks Pete , to you also 👍🙏😸
👍👍👍👍👍👌Very enjoyable video so many topics, very well put together and all interesting, from baby stories to tractor pulls and everything in between, very well edited and presented thanks for sharing!!
Hi Mike & Melissa. Great story of Bo Melissa. Back to mowed field: Frontal brush hog is a beast! 🦬🦬🦬🦬 Great farm show. Vermont & Upstate N.Y farm shows are random days of July up to Labor Day weekend. There's one N.Y. county farm show the 3rd week in August. Then another N.Y farm show August 30th to Labor Day Weekend. ( To me. The last one is much better. 🥰😉🙂👍) I've NEVER seen truck cab pulls. It's all tractor pulls in Vermont & Upstate N.Y. 🤔🤔🤔🙂😉👍 That's great Eva. Good luck on this year's college Eva. 🥰🤔🙂😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Now. I understand " bundle firewood process." Mike. Question? Is a concrete floor in your " need" category? Anyway. Say Hi to Hunter, Levi, Tyler, & Hannah. Have a good Thrusday night the 15th everyone. 🥰🙂😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🪵🌳
You have commented several times about using well water. I have a well and it is very economical and supplies all the water I could ever want. I know about the cistern. Went back and watched the video again. Please explain.
years ago i did a field almost as tall with a riding lawnmower and animals were jumping out left and right
Great video,
Thanks for sharing, it’s all very much appreciated. Take care, all the best, and God bless.
Sincerely,
The retired North Pacific, Bering Sea, and West Coast Commercial Fisherman and survivor.

Keep your hand blower with you to blow out the radiator. I have the 25 hp and it runs the mower fine, although I’m not going as fast as you can.
I was hoping to see my sister and her family in your video at the fair. She was there at the same time (Oh well no luck). I've been watching since the stacking days - change is good. Stay safe.
