I also went to my Kubota dealer today. Stocked up on some oil and filters. They also gave me a 2024 Kubota calendar. MIKE, WHY HAVENT YOU MADE IT IN THE CALENDAR YET? 😂 Love your new 57!
Messicks I would recommend anyone to them. Great service.
Best wishes for the new car Mike, 🎉 this channel is getting more and more incredible
The one thing to check is the cabin filter. It is small and the air intake is directly over the track in front of the fuel fill door. In the dusty season it seems to fill up fast. One indication is that the air conditioner seem less efficient as the filter plugs up. I usually check it at least twice a day. It is located under the cover under the seat. I noticed that you didn’t get the rear camera I find it is very valuable, especially when working in the forest. Great video.
I expected Neil to pop out of that truck.
Excellent review of your new machine.
Melissa, which part was for your birthday? I guess we have to wait for your video.
She didn't seem to be real thrilled to see the new machine even though she'd givin' her blessing for Mike to get it. 😁
Your channel is the reason I bought my KX057-5 last year! Glad to see you trade in the -4 for the same machine.
Same here
Glad to hear you purchased from Messick's, Mike.....my favorite equipment dealer! 👍👍👍
nice new machine, and yes have been subed to Messick's for a long time and have even found parts for my cub cadet SC2400 tractor.
And Neil is a great person to deal with. and as a side note they put on one hell of a Christmas display ever year.
😀The only time I remove snow from my driveway is when I just can’t get out.
Congrats on the new excavator. Don't forget to update the equipment list in your video descriptions going forward.
I in no way need one of those, however if someone who knows me wants to drop one in an outside stocking next Christmas I would not mine. I would treat it for a good while just as a toy. Lots of fun.
Congrats on the new machine, Mike. She’s a beauty!
The old steam shovels were a piece of art. Saw one working one time and it was a clunker.
I liked your comment
While watching Mike going over his new excavator I was thinking how we’ve moved on over the years
With all the qualities of these new compact m/c’s
Of course when quarrying or open cast mining etc the big monster m/c’s are still as amazing 🤩
Hey Mike, thanks for going over the new machine !! Even I was excited about your new "toy" !! Sure has a few extra improvements on it and I can hardly wait to see it in action !! Mind you, you are a very experienced operator and that's definitely a BIG plus !! Happy days ahead !!
Kinda reminds me of when men actually worked! These men today cry for Mommy! It's time for America to man up!
Sweet machine Mike! A very nice mobile office away from the barn. I hope it serves you as well if not better than the last one.
Mike you can store your track scraper in the long compartment instead of grease gun.
Or tripods.
Beautiful machine, here's to many hours of good productive work in the woods👍🇺🇸
Good Morning Morgan Family 🤠- Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day 🤠. Congratulations and best of luck with the new excavator. I’m looking at the KX80.
Good morning!
Did Neal Messik add his theme music like he did for Tractor Time with Tim?
Very nice machine. A upgrade is exactly what it's called. I like the new paint.
It's evident you like your new excavator. It seems every January you pick up something new what a way to acknowledge Melissa birthday (lol). God Bless
Mike, Nice new 57-5. Somebody is going to get a low hour well maintained 57-4 that’s for sure. Have fun with it.
Congrats on the new machine. Those new updates will come in handy. Look forward to seeing you put it thru it’s paces
You might need to revisit the egg pickup challenge with the new machine.
One eyed customs very talented man... Did you ever imagine you would have such amazing equipment. Couldn't be happier for you. Enjoy and learn so much from your you tube channel and I am 75
Congratulations Mike and Melissa. That new excavator is awesome. Thanks for the walk around look at its features. Best wishes for a great 2024.
Outdoor with the Morgan’s should be Mike Morgan and his toys
Very nice, makes perfect sense now. Enjoy, I wish I had it.
I’m in Alaska and have been watching you guys for a while. I went through the CDL conundrum as well. Wanted a dump truck for my own use. Didn’t want to haul for hire and discovered the universal farm vehicle CDL exemption. No CDL requirements if you’re under 45,000 lbs and using it for your own business (not for hire). I bought a 7 yard truck with 33,000 gross and licensed it as my farm vehicle. No CDL requirements
Congratulations Mike!! That is a beautiful machine and I know you will be doing great work with it for you and your neighbors!! God Bless You and your family!!😊
Very nice!! Thanks for the detailed review of the 057-5.
Nice machine kind of surprised you didnt support your local dealer
Good afternoon from Upstate South Carolina. Love the video. I use Messick's for all my Kubota B-7800 needs. Thanks Neil. Have a productive day.
Thanks 🙂
We had a place near us clearing out "low grade" 4/4 hardwood lumber. All kiln dried...I got maple and poplar for 12¢ a board foot...yes 12 cents! We have made our wood shed siding, treestand (mini-cabin) and the floor in the wood shed with it. So happy I got some of it! WAY better than pallets.
Thanks Mike and Melissa for sharing the new Excavator with us. The new improvements will help you all. Stay safe and keep up the fun around there. Fred.
Its good to stay with a certain size machine, especially since you're already familiar with the operating systems. A bigger one might be nice, but then you have relearn , get used to and that sometimes will ruin your expectations for having a bigger machine. You already know what to expect, and only few a few things extra to get used to. You DA Man!
That's a nice one Mike. Messicks is only about a half hour away from my place. I remember your video when you and Melissa visited Messick's. Great place for your equipment needs.
Thanks MIKE!
I feel the same way about my excavator! I would not go without one!
I sent you a email about the track cleaner but never heard back from you
Once everyone else goes to public water, your well may fill quicker or stay fuller longer since no one else will be drawing from the water table. I love my well water over the public water. Other points on upgrading now is that wear items (tracks, belts, bushings, track gears, etc...) are 500 hours already worn, so you are getting new ones with new machine. Saves the time and cost of replacing those down the road. Now just don't go out and christen it with a dent right off. 😄
That's why there is more black paint on the counterweight end.
Easier to match the paint.
Good luck with the new excavator. Looks nice and has some really nice features. Stay safe
Its a beaut Clark. Lol. Hope you have the best of luck with this one as your "old one". Keep your powder dry.
Congrats on the new machine Mike! Looks awesome and the bigger cab is certainly a plus!!
Had me scared for awhile you might be getting a Sears Craftsman or a Murray excavator...Lol
Probably a good call staying with Kubota!!
Congratulations on a very nice excavator. 👍
👍👍👍👍👍👌Same but different cab was even noticeably different on the video and the sounds also seemed a little better, maybe just my imagination all in all sweet machine great choice, Melissa seemed quite happy with her birthday present😄
Congrats on the new machine. The firewood business must be very profitable. New equipment shows up every video.
Awesome upgrade! Looking forward to seeing you work with it in the future.
I was half expecting a kx80 to show up, now that would be a upgrade
I knew that’s what would be showing up! Nice excavator! I hope you love it as much as the last one
Mike the thumb you had on 04 was way better than what they sent you with the new 05. Congrats on upgrading. Glad u didn’t get the 40.
MIKE,SOUNDS LIKE YOUR WIFE IS UPSET, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAKE HER A RIDE IN YOUR NEW MANCHINE. 😊😊😊😊
Happy for you Mike handling your new job the right way pays off, more room in the cab makes sense we always want more room
Nice machine, Happy birthday Melissa, hope you enjoy your present.
I use a U-55-5 here at the cemetery I run, perfect machine for that. Good luck with the 57-5!
I had a hunch it was going to be the KX057-5. Great choice again Mike. Over the years you have shown how useful the KX057 has been for your projects so going smaller or larger in size was not necessary. I look forward to the future projects using the new machine. Congrats and thanks for the video.
The kx57-4 is probably the smoothest mini I’ve ever ran, very impressed with the kubota mini’s
Nice machine, I know our L6060 if you turn the key on does that beeping for the fuel. I use Ginops in Alanson MI they're great for us. Messeks has a great parts look up on line and I have ordered parts from there and are great to work with.
Single button on the joystick for the thumb is so nice on the -5 👍
Give it a good wash after being hauled. Salt from roads will start eating paint.
I like it and some lucky person is going to get a nice machine with the old one congratulations 🎉.
Mike, congratulations on your new machine! Thanks for the tour!
Congrats Mike, looks like a great machine! Now you've got a helping hand with your land. I found your channel and Neil's about the same time and in the same way, I was looking at tractors. You still had the RKs at that time. I was glad to have found both.
Wife and I got a new kubota bx2660 in 2012. Loved it. 11 years later ( last year ) they sent me in the mail... 0 down 0% 5 year loan offer.
We upgraded to a B2601. With us having 5 acres it works great.
Sweet machine . Hope you love it as much as the last one .
An excavator with a cab you can grow in to, with all of the Mrs’ good cooking.
Hi Mike. It looked like the oil fill cap wasn't on. On camera.
Congratulations on your new toy. The only thing I would recommend to you is to put a magnetic oil pan bolt. If it doesn’t have one already, they work wonders especially for a new machine breaking in. You know there’s gonna be some metal in the breaking.
It will need a bigger magnet then just the oil plug😂 they all have been blowing up on with the Kubota engine. It’s a gamble on when it will go. But they are going boom within a few 100 hrs
@@kevink4914 really that’s hard to believe I mean he swears by Kabota but anyway if you say so all I can say is that on all diesel engines you need to see the Godfather of diesel engines which is Gail Banks he has aftermarket parts. Your diesel will never blow up and you will gain twice the power most diesel engines. Problem is the heater underneath the manifoldand the air intake system bank has both of them beyond belief. If you have diesel, I would advise you to look into Gail Banks you can’t go wrong.
Congratulation on the new machine Mike 😊. Thanks for sharing with us. God Bless you and your family.
BTW, it’s been raining for a solid week here in the PNW. If we waited for the rain to stop before we got out in it and got stuff done, we’d have moss growing on our backs. ;)
Nice machine Mike I thought you were going with the kx040 because of weight to be able to haul to WV but I like the 057 better
Hey Mike .. right joystick, right button turns thumb on.. took me months to realize that. Love my KX057-5 .
Love that machine. I own a kx040-4 and love it. But the 057-5 is what I want
To trade mine in for.
Nice business decision! Now get out there and mud it up and make it a manly machine. Enjoy it.👍👍👍
The difference between good and great, is about that last 5% and Messick's provided a great example of that!
I am glad we have a two hour late start due to icy roads. Nice machine!
If people want a small excavator for making wood, check out the Chinese mini excavators that sell for less than 6k.
Lots of people always asking about the Mrs getting her pool. The pool will probably come with all the dough the Morgans have, but it will be for the grand
Babies.
I have the kx057-5 and we will not be making a pool, especially after we just paid our real estate taxes.
Very nice machine and just the right size for your property and the task you’ll use it for.
Beautiful machine. I'm sure you are going to love it.
The new owner of the excavator will be getting very well kept machine! You are keeping Your equipment in perfect condition! Keep going!
Sweet machine there Mike. Enjoy it, and happy excavating.
I agree. First scratch should be put on the new machine by the owner!
I was hoping to hear the Messex jingle when you got in the machine😅
Me too HAHAHAHAH
Bought my 057-5 in sept of 2022, Absolutely love it! I upgraded from a U35-4 and the cab alone is worth it! You will be happy Mike!
Thanks Mike. Nice machine. You'll do fine w/ this machine. Say Hi to Melissa, Eva, & Hunter. 🙂😉👍❤️💜🙏
Awesome machine Mike. the 57 really is the perfect size machine for the wide range of work we do with them. I have a 40 size Cat and i wish it was a little bit bigger at times. Agreed on the first oil change at 100hrs. Then I like to do subsequent oil changes at 250. 500 is just too long imo. But I usually only do 150-200 in a year so that’s when I change it.
This cab seems much taller inside. The other day, I noticed the sticker on the window was near eye level. On this one the sticker is higher [out of the way] and see-through.
Your new machine has quite a few new improvements, I'm glad for you the way things worked out!.
This warm up and rain sure has screwed things up!, and I bet you can't wait to go try your new excavator out!.
Doesn’t the 057 force you to have a CDL if your hauling it because it’s around 13,000lbs? Which is the reason most small contractors stick with the 040. It sounds like they worked on cab noise?
Wow! That is a nice excavator there. I think it responds quicker than your last one. I can image many great videos of you using it. Excited for you and the new excavator. I agree that the drive was kind to allow you to have a new machine with out scratches. You get to make all the scratches yourself as it should be.
Like the new machine. Enjoy will get a lot of work done. God bless
Stay tuned with the Kubota dealer you used to deal with, big changes coming with them for the better!!
Is there an option for quick connect cages around all that glass? If a person is going to do a lot of work in the woods or heavy brush, it would make sense to protect those glass panels as much as possible.
Congratulations Mike on your new Excavator, she looks Fabulous.
Nice new machine can't wait to see it on the next video thank you for the video
While I’m excited for the new machine based on the “go big or go home” theory I apply to most things I was really thinking I was going to see the next size larger model.
Either way, great unit and as always it will be great to see what all you do with it.
I thought the same, I figured he was going to get the next size larger machine. Interesting the small changes they made between the previous model and new model, but at least they seem to be useful updates rather than what car companies do...put in a larger touch screen that still looks like a child installed it type nonsense....Never been in an excavator, at 41 years old, I have to admit this past month has been my first time in a skid steer, so....I have no idea what they were like previously and probably won't get into an excavator anytime soon, unless I rent one to clean out a couple of irrigation ditches. I've never really been around equipment like that, up until 2021 I'd never been on a tractor either...until I bought my Kubota BX2680, that's the closest I've had to an actual tractor, other than lawn/garden tractors that just mowed the lawn LOL. What a difference even a sub-compact tractor has made in my home to-do list items....saves so much time and a lot of shoveling LOL. I call my Kubota BX2680 my fancy expensive wheelbarrow LOL.
Awesome new machine!! Looking forward to seeing it in action!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Nice machine Mike....really nice!.. congradulations...well deserved. 👍👍👍
Hi Morganites, The only thing I see extra that I would want is lights on the joint of the boom for extra visibility in digging pits or heights to see when pushing trees over.
Congratulations on the new machine Mike. Can’t wait to see all of the work you will be doing with it.
Happy birthday Melissa. I’m not sure that’s what you would want for a birthday present but it sure is nice.
Mike, I've been following your channel long enough to know what you enjoy. I knew there was no way you would get rid of the excavator without replacing it. New machine is great.
Where was Neil? On a delivery like this, I would expect a Neil sighting!! hehe Looks great Mike.
