Glad to see that you put that saw dust pile in the perfect place for Piper and Ruger to help spread the saw dust around. Seeing Piper playing in the saw dust reminded me of playing the the big leaf pile that my Pop use to rake from the lawn in the fall. Great video M&M, thumbs up.

Love seeing the product produced with the saw mill!!👍👊

Don't you wish we could just jump and play in a pile of sawdust like those funny dogs?! Heck, I'd have a major allergy attack and suffocate! They are such a hoot! Mike, now that I have a tractor, I know what you mean about being without them! Hope you get one or more soon! Can't wait to see what's in store!

Hey, Mike, In keeping with your "on site material/low cost" guidelines, try using household vinegar as a weathering agent to color your woodshed. One gallon of water, one gallon of white vinegar, and a half-pad of steel wool (or a half-dozen, non-galv. framing nails) mixed in a 5 gal. bucket. Let the pad steep in the vinegar overnight, and the solution will pick up iron oxide from the steel. The 2 gallons of vinegar/iron-oxide solution can be mixed with another 2 gals. clean water. This gives you four gallons of solution for your garden sprayer; zero "environmental impact," dog-friendly, and insects don't love it. Turns pine and cedar an instant "dove gray;" oak will turn almost black. The strength of the solution (you can further dilute it w/more water) affects the tone of the finish: More vinegar = darker wood. Experiment on your off-cuts that've dried to, say, 15% m.c. Woodshed will look ancient (and continue aging) as soon as the solution dries. Come back in late spring and spray with water-soluble, urethane mat-finish, or just leave it alone. Any kind of commercial finish will require upkeep, and it's a woodshed, right?

I think Mike is holding out for a Steiger Tiger 500 or maybe a Big Bud 747! These would really get the job done ... may need to widen the trails, but could they haul out the wood! 😲 Can’t wait time see the wood shed finally finished as it has been a great release from all the COVID news watching it being constructed. Thanks Hey Hunter! ✋🏻👴🏻

Hi Mike, I have log siding on my house. I use CWF made by the Flood Corp. I use the “clear” version. It gives the wood a natural, honey tone. It fades after a few years and you have to do a re-coat, but there is no pealing or flaking. You never have to scrape or wire brush it, just brush more on.

Love the dogs in the sawdust pile, what a nice lead in.

Thanks for making these videos. It looks like your dogs really love that saw dust.

Hey Mike, A good weight distribution hitch would improve the ride and handling while towing the trailer better than anything else. Adding rear airbags or springs will actually put more weight on the rear axle of your truck and make the front lighter . A weight distribution hitch will distribute the weight more evenly between the front and rear axles of your truck, improving handling and safety. .

That opening, with dogs frolicking, and Melissa beaming, was the best opening I have ever seen on Outdoors with the Morgan’s!! Especially being cooped up in an apartment for 4 weeks! Thank you both so very much! Sincerely Rod

Good morning Mike and Melissa, and all the subs. Wishing you all an awesome day filled with love, kindness and hope for your fellow humans. Congratulations on hitting 150K subscribers....... this only means one thing, you are growing because the content of your videos is good, very good. Keep cranking out these great videos and we will be at 200K in no time. Have a beautiful day folks.

It's so good to see how good you two work together on projects, in a world full of selfishness and putting the other spouse down it's really refreshing to see a couple that shares the same interests and a genuine love for each other. Mike I hope you appreciate what a real treasure you have with Melissa. Also I see you are tractorless so I didn't remember seeing when you got rid of your Kubota tractor you have before the RK tractors. I think you are going back with Kubota. God Bless your whole family.

Always a joy to start the day watching the Morgan's at work and play. You are truly blessed. Thanks for sharing your life and family.

I'd stain that green-wood shed inside and out. It'll maintain even moisture and not take to rot on the inside of the building, especially towards the ground. I toss a piece of plastic sheet down to cover the gravel, otherwise stain drips all over the gravel and it looks kind of sloppy. Once I get a radial-arm saw I want another big toy with Woodmizer on the side. LoL Looks like a lot of fun. Great job on the shed. Real straight and square. It ain't easy. I'll buy some of that cherry wood if it's for sale. I use 1 1\2" to 2" stock in short lengths for knife handles. Cherry works real good for knife and machete handles.

Good morning Morgan family. Great video as always. Can't waite to see your new tractor. Love the dogs...It reminded me of the first time my Saint Bernard discovered that snow was NOT his enemy...lol. He rolled around in it for hours. You guys stay safe and have a day.

For the benefit of guys towing with their trucks, can you do an episode that explains the whole GBWR/Cargo Capacity/Towing Capacity calculations? Use your F150 and the black trailer with the load of rock you just picked up.

Blessed with Mellisa, hard worker by your side , rare. Mike I'm an avid watcher and from Pa., jealousy gets negative comments about the equipment, no harm in taking mutually beneficial help when it's available. I as many others would, I am envious but I don't take the initiative to invest the hours Into making the videos nor have I worked to create what you have, so the perks goes to those that did. Great videos, enjoy watching you two take care of that property especially now with the changed lives we have inherited. Work safe, stay healthy !

Well hello Morgan Family! Got a bit side tracked but I'm back, been watching off road recovery in Utah. Matt from "Matt's off road recovery" is a gentleman like yourself and well worth a watch. Tractors? Not RK because when you say it is over , it is. Not Bobcat, okay, was never a guess for me but being an Aussie and enjoying the music from over there I am reminded of the words from a song " I drive a John Deere tractor, I'm a liberated man". Mike you are liberated just by agreeing that work needs to be done and is actually fun. Look forward to finding out the deal.

Your pup in the sawdust is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time lol 👍🏼

I have a Bob Cat compact tractor going on Fourteen years now and have done no work on it, just oil, filters, and hydraulic fluid. Can't wait to see what you are getting. Really enjoy your videos Mike, have a great day.

So adorable that Piper likes to play in the sawdust. I could watch her play all day

Three things: 1.) loved the dogs in the saw dust pile. 2.) I think you should use the pieces you first cut off the logs on the raised planters. 3.) wonder why you sometimes take two cuts when you are squaring up the wood. Why not make one bigger/thicker cut. Just curious.

Good Sunday Morning Mike and Melissa from Pensacola Florida! Loved seeing the dogs playing so much. Actually made me laugh a little watching them. Anyway, love your channel(s), love the message you convey to us all, and love how you share your little bit of paradise with us all. Might not seem like paradise for most, but I am a nurse and watching you guys go about your day is such a stress reliever. Thank You!

YEA!!! 150,000 Subs!!! Way to go guys!!! Have a day!!!

I'm a firm believer that if a tractor does what you need it to do it's a good tractor. The brand or the color doesn't really matter to me. My favorite tractor that I use quite a bit is a 1979 Ford 3600. That old thing is quite the workhorse! In addition to it I also run a couple of John Deere tractors, mainly because the dealer/service is nearby.

Mike - can't wait to hear which tractor will be in your future. Thanks for all the great videos.

Thanks Mike for the Roadmaster Active Suspension Kit Info, Researched and Well Worth it. 👍

Love the dogs playing in the saw dust. 👍

I really like watching you two work together so well. One thing I would like, you have done this at least once, is to announce the title and musician of the music you play during your video. I enjoy the music and the info that you produce. Keep up the good work !!

I would like to see a New Holland tractor on your videos. I have had one for about 14 years now and they just cant be beat.

There are a lot of good tractors out there now but it really depends on what you need one for . I looked at them all and decided on a Branson 3520R back in 2015 . In less than 2 years it had 900hrs on it clearing 7 acres of property , building a 1/2 acre pond , a 1000' driveway , laying 1000' water line , digging a foundation for the new home , bush hogging and digging up countless stumps with the backhoe . It takes it easier now and has 966 hrs total so far . It's been a beast and well worth what I paid . It was going to be between a Kioti and Mahindra before I ran across the Branson .

I did not notice Melissa's slight stumbles. I did notice she poses with the grace, form, and poise of a model. I saw this by the trailer and on the grass. I also noticed, at the sawmill she worked, "Like a Navvie" (canal digging laborer) as the English say.. Nor did she lose a step or a bit of grace, where it counted. Melissa quickly flagged her slight flaws. Now before I finished this, I played Sammy Kershaw's " She Don't She's Beautiful " ( Matching songs to situations is weakness of mine, part of my Autistic pattern matching. ) Of course, this a great part of her charm and shining spirit. God Bless and Protect you al, my friends.

I’m probably late to the party but Kioti all the way! (If you have a dealer in a decent distant from you) I looked at every brand and settled on a DK45HST over 5 years ago. I’ve never been disappointed, I’ve never had a break down. Best bang for the buck by far!!!!!

If you want a simple, inexpensive treatment that will weather, you can try a equal parts turpentine and linseed oil. It will soak in well and is easy to apply with brush, roller, spray. You can also add some pigment if you want a semi transparent color.

JD Baby !!!!! I have the same moisture meter and yes low end but works excellent. PLEASE get some of those great looking hats in...I need one :) Please be safe out there and God Bless the Morgan family

Good morning Morgans. It's finally a nice day here today on my day off in the Hudson Valley NY. Can't wait to get back in the woods today . BTW, I watched Buckins video on chainsaw/powersaw sharpening and it helped me tremendously. I highly recommend it. Hoping you get the orange tractor back since I still have mine too, but you're always full of surprises so we're waiting. HI Hunter and have a day.

Thinking of putting the road master suspension on my next truck....keep us updated on how it is and or do a video review of it.

Use burnt motor oil to stain & treat the shelter. Two coats do a good job. Maybe a little darker at first but a little time it will fade a little. Enjoy the channel. 👍

Another great video. I hope you picked up the rubber tips for your moisture meter when you checked the red pine on your trailer. That is how I lost mine, although the snap on cap still protects the sharp points. I hope you get your tractors soon. Enjoy the day

No drama Mike. However, you're great with cliffhangers! Thanks for the videos. Keep em coming.

I could swear by the accent that you were from WPA and your description confirmed that. Great videos! Fun to watch!

My experience tells me if I think it’s ready it’s not, wait a little longer. Patience pays off big.

I have a 2001 Ram 1500 that I've owned since it was brand new and right after I got it I put that active suspension on it and it made a giant different from pulling trailers and also the way it handled when it was empty. Never had to adjust it never had to do anything so you know you only adjust it when you first put it on and then you're done. Great idea who ever thought of it

I loved watching your dog having fun in the saw dust pile.

Good video guys and Mrs Morgan Never loose your smile it is so up lifting

I thought it was Bobcat because they are trying to get into the market and have their first tractors in that market in years. It seems like they could get GREAT exposure and benefit a lot from what you could offer. Can't wait to see what it is. My next guess would be you going back to Kubota since you like them. Can't wait for "The Reveal"! Have a day!

Way to keep us in suspense Morgan’s. Good job. Looking forward to it.

I’m as excited about your new tractor as I was about receiving mine!

When you can't have a snow day sawdust will do instead!!! Yippee happy happy puppy!

another good one...I look forward to your video's everyday. Keep em coming!

Love the pups in the sawdust pile. Made my whole day better. Thanks!

My guess is a John Deere 4066R with a cab. Similar in size to the RK55. Also, it was John Deere that allowed Mike to showcase the skid loader and forestry mower. So they have already worked together. Mike told us earlier he has grown to really appreciate the cab tractor since he cleared larger trails with the skid loader. And he probably needs 50+ hp to run the new chipper and skidding winch effectively. That's my educated guess! Impatiently waiting to hear the news! Ha!

I see the dogs have figured out what to do with the sawdust from the Woodmizer! I use sawdust in place of "oil dry" and "sweeping compound". You might check with your municipal garage and/or implement dealers if they could use it.

Good job both Mike and Melissa.

Love watching you guys work on your place. Over here on the west coast we are inspired to do a bunch of the same on our 80 acre spread! Have a blessed day😊

Mike & Melissa - Looks like I missed a couple of good quotes from you while watching the video. Oh well, I got most of it, and am enjoying you stretching out the mystery of the new tractors. Blessings to you both, and the family. Hi Hunter.

Love the dog's. They are having a great time. can't wait to see the stain. awesome shed.

Mike says he's not into drama, but he is into suspense! ...👉😁👈

Hi Mike & Melissa! Glad to hear the new tractor is not a Bobcat, because if it was you might as well have gone with a New Holland, since they are making the first generation of tractors for Bobcat. Plus as I understand it, Bobcat tried making tractors once before and got out of the market, so I wouldn’t trust them to stay in the market. A lot of commenters are hoping it will be a Kioti and I hear they make really good tractors. I would have considered one myself, but they don’t have a strong dealership network in the Deep South yet. I’m still happy with my Kubota L3901. Looking forward to see what your next tractor is. Stay safe and well!

I bought one of those General moisture meters after one of your earlier videos. It does a great job for firewood and is reasonably priced.

I hope the new tractor is a kioti! I have a dk5510hs and love it!

I would use an oil base stain. They only make latex stains for your house these days. You will need to look for deck stains to get oil base. It will hold up much better.

Now we know how golden retrievers keep their color! That is hilarious watching Piper and Ruger play in the sawdust.

150,000 subs Mike. Wow, think you blitzed you’re 1000 by my birthday goal 😜😜😜 It’s been an honour to have been here since the very beginning. Adam

i've had the roadmaster suspension system on my truck for over 12 years. it's a great system

4:00 you should cut two pieces of ply wood to lay in your dump bed because loading stone, dirt, gravel in it is going to eat the metal bed up. To keep it from sliding out use some clear caulk, RTV, under the back piece, thats what I did and my bed is still rust free and the ply wood lasted 4 years. Even some thick card board could work too. I paid 4,550. for mine and yours is way better. I even tarp my trailer to keep rain out of it.

Once again I like the multiple camera angles. Good job with the editing.

Dogs in sawdust, so sweet! So no RK & no Bobcat, we are at the edge of our seats. Our choices are still in the running! Not a decision that would be easy to make. God Bless.

Love the dogs playing in the saw dust. Looked like hump day .LOL

I have been very happy with Ready Seal stain/sealer that I applied to my 6ft privacy fence and driveway gate 7 years ago.

Good stuff fella. Puppies love the sawdust. Thank you for sharing your day.

That dog playing and inhaling that sawdust is no different than a human inhaling it.

FYI: if your moisture meter is anything like the one I've got, you might want to take a close look at the rubber caps for the pins, and see if they don't have holes on the working end. On mine, they do and they are designed so that they *don't need to be removed to use the meter*. The points stick through the holes, and the rubber just folds up as you push the pins in. The pins are long enough that you get an accurate reading even with that extra little spacing that the rubber covers make. So, you just leave the rubber caps on. They're there to help you avoid scraping yourself with the meter, but you can just leave them on when you're checking moisture levels, and so no risk of forgetting to put the back on. That's assuming, of course, that you did eventually remember to go pick the caps up off the trailer (several other people also pointed out that you left them there :) ).

A couple of coats of maroon shellac paint and you will never have to worry about the wood rotting ever !!!

With inventories building up, even if not, tractor dealerships or rental stores may be willing to rent some tractor time. So there really is no super rush to complete a deal. Beside guessing there are plenty of non tractor related projects to work on.

Benjamin Moore ArborCoat Oil Base . Its awesome. Also can look for Cabot's Oil Base Preservative. Oil is the best. It comes in colors and natural. Seals the wood from weather and sunlight. I used it on 1x8 tongue and groove knotty pine for siding. It lasts for years.

Morning Morgan's! Once I scrape up enough cash I'll be getting that same trailer, thanks again for showing it. Have a day!

Good morning to you all. Great video and thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

Was planning to get a sawmill to be able to do something with hundreds of pine trees killed by the bark beetle. By the time I could get them down and processed they were rotten. Now I’m stacking them on the burn piles. Literally thousands of board feet wasted. Breaks my heart.

Looking forward to seeing your new tractor!

Id say a Kioti tractor would be a good fit! I had never seen or heard of them and wasnt really serous about getting one,till I looked at them! Came home with a Kioti! Very old and well proven powertrains,and the tractors have alot of standard stuff others charge alot for! Its been over a year and not 1 problem!
