My apologies for not wishing you a happy birthday on the day Hunter, but here is a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY now, cheers from Australia, keep that big smile beaming.

Alright Huntman you stud. That hand in the cookie jar grin makes every day a great one.

Very handy. Have rented one many times. When we rent one for a full day we try to rent it Saturday afternoon so we don’t have to have it back till Monday morning. Have a good day Morgan’s!👍🏻

Hunter has a smile that lights up the room. God bless

Rented one a couple of weeks ago to hang steel on my building, 23 ' up!My wife and I were in it together, she got pretty good at running it too! Best money I ever spent!

Have to say, you have one of the best playlists of all KZread, let alone any music service. Thanks for all the great vids (and tunes)!

They make retractable shades for skylights. Kinda like the ones in a car or truck. We had one long time ago but the skylight was replaced with wood when the roof was replaced . Sorry Hunter i forgot about your birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Im glad your enjoying the filming Hope your having fun. Tell your Dad you want BK

Renting the RIGHT piece of equipment helps SOOOOOO much! Saves a lot of time, is safer, you usually can do a better job and then you can move on to other things too. Hi Hunter! Happy belated birthday!

Good morning MIke and Melissa. Thanks for this one. I’ll be renting one shortly to clean gutters, clean windows, trim tees, finish up some painting. Happy Birthday Hunter!

Perfect timing. I have to rent one in a few weeks to trim back some trees as well. I’ve only used a scissor lift in the past but not that kind. Thanks for the tutorial!

I may look into renting one later this fall as I have a huge maple tree hanging over the front of my house. It was good to see the ever smiling Hunter and nice to hear he had a great birthday. Stay safe guys.

I rented one of those towable lifts a year or so ago to take down 3 trees. It was awesome to use. That little pruning saw would have made my job a lot easier. I used an 011 which got heavy after a while. Another great video! Thanks guys!

These lifts are definitely a game changer.Several years ago I was talking to my neighbor about how I was really having second thoughts about having to get up on the extension ladder and changing a dusk to dawn light that I had put up thirty five years ago,, and without hesitation he said that he had just purchased a bucket truck, and that I was welcome to use it any time. Since then I have used it many, many times from installing gutter covers, trimming tall trees, changing multiple dusk to dawn lights and repairing a damaged metal roof. I guess all of those years of supplying him wood for his smoker and outside fire ring and tending to all of their farm animals whenever they are away, paid many dividends.

Lifts are a truly a gift. I deal with a metal roof and not much solid lip surrounded by a lot of uneven ground so the extension ladders are a nightmare when it comes to doing high work. Actually had a gentleman doing an install on our roof and misjudged the stability of his ladder, if I hadn't caught it and body braced his ladder he would have been looking at a long 40' drop. Nothing beats a stabilized hoist.

Thanks for this episode. Reminds us that we can get a lot of work done if we have the right tools and that renting the tools is often the smart way to go.

Very informative, thanks may consider the man lift in future if needed. Not very complicated. Have a great day Hunter, LOVE your smile, it's infectious, and always makes me smile too!

Good morning from NW Ohio! Happy 4th. We all need to be appreciative of the freedoms that we enjoy, and many times, take for granted. Love the lift video. The last time I ran one, it went out of level when I was maxed out up in the crotch of a huge oak, and I had to hand pump it all the way down so I could re-level. Great times!

So glad to hear Hunter loved the birthday wishes. 😊😊😊💝💝💞🇺🇸🎂🎂🍨🍨

Hunter you look so happy good for you y'all have a blessed evening

Thanks for sharing Hunter with us. It neat to watch him interact and be part of the Outdoor with the Morgan’s channel.

Thanks - that was very useful since I've been considering renting one of those tow behind lifts to trim several large pin oaks in my yard (mostly to clean out some of the dead branches). Probably use my tractor to move the lift around in the yard since it spreads the weight out and would handle driving in the yard better than my truck.

Thanks, Mike. This is on my list for next week, so I appreciate the quick tutorial!

I discovered how wonderful these towable lifts are a few months ago too. I pretty much never plan to use a ladder beyond the first floor outside the house ever again.

Yep, been debating renting one of those for a couple big pin oaks I have to trim. That made up my mind, so easy! That’s for the informative video 👍🏻

Love love love skylights; the extra daylight outweighs any problems. Same with sunroof's.

Hi Morgan's, pups and especially Hunter! 💙

I bought one (actually the exact unit Mike rented) of these since I paint houses for a living and I'm telling you it's a force multiplier! I haven't eliminated ladders totally, you never will, but it is easier on the body and much safer than a 40'er!

Love watching your videos. Retired 4-1-20 from NCSHP thank the lord i made it. I got a new tractor got a new log splitter and bought me a small truck. Looking to move to the mountains somewhere. God bless you all.

I will definitely have to rent one. I got quit a lot out by my pole barn that need trimmed up. Thank you for showing the controls.

Mike - Great video. I now know about a man-lift. Have seen them from afar, but never up close, and never in operation. Great idea to use it to clean up those branches hanging over the house. Thanks, and blessings to you and your family. Hi to Mr. Hunter, and a belated Happy Birthday!!

It is recommended to not prune oak trees in the active growing season because there is a high chance of introducing oak wilt through the open cut. It is recommended to do the trimming in the winter months when the trees are dormant. FYI.

@@chizzelfingers Oak trees are susceptible to a dangerous fungal disease called oak wilt. Even though oaks are strong and mighty, this fungus can take down even the most robust tree. It most commonly occurs whenever someone prunes a tree during the wrong time of year, also known as summertime. Tiny sap beetles spread oak wilt from tree to tree, and they are the most active from April to August. These unwelcome visitors seek out oaks with fresh prune cuts, where they leave behind this fast-spreading fungus. Unfortunately, oak wilt is often fatal.

I did not get a chance to watch this video until just now, much later than my usual time. Seeing Hunters smile made it worth the wait! 🤗🤗🤗 Melissa, you are creating a whole new outdoor workwear style!!! Fashion forward!!!! 👍👏🤩

What you showed today is great. Sorry to say but I just don't have the room to store a lot of stuff so in the past I've even rented a tiller to go on the BX. It was not the one I would have bought but for a rental it did the job.

I agree. In the mountains we had 3 3x3 squares in the main room of our A frame. They pointed south. Great only with fog. Never leaked but the heat sun load - bleaching and such.

Great video Mike. The smile on Hunter’s face was priceless.

Pretty slick machine. I had 7 skylights in my last house and no problems. I did have double cell shades for the 4 in the heated area (the other 3 were on the enclosed porch and the garage). Now you can get solar powered rain sensing skylights so they can be opened on days that will be hot but there may be a T storm before you get home from work.

I built an earth contact home in 1991 and I have 3 Velux Skylites on the back of my house about as tall as yours but wider and about 6 feet apart and that is likely where you are losing HVAC. Rafters too close together and little insulation in between. Those lites should have argon gas and yours look like Velux too. I design doors and windows along with custom millwork for a living. I have a bank of Andersen 400 series windows on the front of my house and it is always cold. It's not the windows, there is just not enough space between to insulate like they can today. If anyone else is experiencing the same thing it is probably the insulation. Get one of those thermal guns at your box store and point it at the glass then between the windows, I think you will be surprised. The products I mentioned are high quality. You would have to get in to a Peach Tree product to do much better and a house full of them would make your truck seem like pocket change! lol

God Bless Y’all! Have a day!❤️👍

The right tool for the job, lift units have come a long way as I would guess, just never thought about it. Gone are the days of manual out riggers and noisy power. Thanks Mike, hi Melissa, happy birthday Hunter. And hi to pizza delivery gal Central California watching

Yep just about everyone I know that put or have skylights in there house say the same thing. Problems. Nice job on showcasing the man lift!

I can say the same thing about dormers. Worst decision ever !

Older post but I just rented one to rebuild my chimney - awesome tool, made things so much more efficient - highly recommended and much safer than ladders or scaffold.

Thanks for the video. I may have use for a lift.

Good morning Guys that was a cool video thanks for sharing 👍

Great idea, thanks for giving me different options to my tree problems!

Love watching your videos. We are from Fort Recovery, Ohio. If you ever get a chance come to Fort Recovery, Ohio and see the old Fort still standing: from the 1800’s. There is also a small museum.

Good afternoon. I laughed, as Hunter is saying, we've got to finish the job and get rid of the limbs. Atta boy Hunter, supervisors job is never done. Belated Happy Birthday. Hi girls. Be safe everybody.

MIKE, I wanna think 'Chipper Chick' was having withdrawals and put you up to the task. Good stuff, with the right equipment, jobs done safely, and even on a hot day, didn't break a sweat!

I rented a 60 boom lift last Friday,trimmed back three 75ft Siberian Elm trees,plus took down two 5ft in diameter Willow trees that had become dangerous,still in the huge mess cleanup,but I will get it. I love running lifts,ran a ton of different ones over the years in the contract painting field .

Thanks for another great video. I've always wanted to run one of those manlifts and your video has helped me! Still too high up in the air for me to personally do it (I get the willies over 10') so thanks for risking your life for all us ground based humans!

Perfect timing! Was planning on renting one of these to help take down a tree.

Well worth it. We used one to take care of several trees near our cabin. Very much worth the $.

What a great idea! I need to check with my local rental company and see what they have available. Ladders scare me since I broke my back. This looks like a far better solution. Another lesson from the Morgan’s 🙂

Excellent. This is exactly what I plan on doing with the same machine and a large maple tree.

Great video, thanks for showing the operation. Seems pretty straight forward and seems very doable. Beats a ladder any day.

Morning Morgan's. No internet here today???? Going to go visit another youtuber today@ taryl fixes all. Tell the family hello. Hope to have internet this evening. Be safe and have a day!

Great video Mike!! I learned alot today. And TY

Thanks for the introduction on the lift . I hear you about skylights. Wish I had never put them in. Seemed nice at the time. Happy Fourth to the Morgans !

Loved seeing Hunter! He looks so happy! Mike, you gave me a little tree stand anxiety there, lol. I'm good with heights, but I'm afraid I would have worn a harness. That wide angle makes it look higher than you actually were, lol. Good video, thanks for the manlift tutorial.

Recently rented the same brand man-lift, with a longer reach, to trim branches from a very large hackberry before taking it down. Very effective machine. A little surprised you weren't wearing a safety harness, tied-off to the basket while elevated. We did, no limitations but certainly felt a little safer.

Mike Cattelino don’t ever hook it up to the basket. Run your harness rope over(not through it) and hook it to the end of boom if u get it hung up in tree or on something and it breaks something the basket will dangle flipping u out

@@randywilson6869 for sure, we did just that. Thanks for sharing that safety tip.

Very helpful Mike, thanks!

Mike I’ve been watching your videos for years and many other channels and never have I commented about safety, this time I will. I use these basket lifts almost everyday and using a harness is lifesaving plus if there was a accident or the machine failed your insurance company will not cover any damage or health if you are not wearing a harness.

I only found out that this kinda lift a few weeks ago. Never even saw one! But used scissor and telescoping boom lifts professionally for decades prior. My brother needed an economical shelter to store his 35’ tow-behind in during the off season. A hangar tent was the solution. We tried renting step ladders to reach up to the 16’ peak, but it was too slow, too clumsy, too risky. Then we saw a local Home Depot rented this contraption. Hitch it up to your pickup and go! Almost perfect solution for wrangling steel tubes quickly up at height! All electric, used for two solid days in freezing temperatures and the battery pack didn’t flinch.

Good morning Hunter ;-)

Thank you Mike, always enjoy your videos!

Super helpful video. I’m renting one this weekend!

Good job Hunter. Looking forward to seeing you start your fire wood business. You are sure to be great at it.

u gotta love that lift! I use my Kubota L3200 tractor with forks, put a sheet of plywood on them and lift my neighbor up with the chainsaw and or pole saw. U got a great helper!! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That man lift sure was the safest way to do the job. My son and I rented one to install a stainless steel chimney on his two story house and it worked great except the controls on the man lift worked but all the decals indicating what was what was so faded they could not be read so I had to operate it from the ground as a rank amateur. It got hairy a few times but we got the job done without incident.

If I was doing that job here in Florida, the first thing I would put in as an essential tool would be a tested, full can of wasp and hornet spray!! No good saying “ oh, yeah” when you are 25 feet in the air!

So fun to see Hunter with his excitement.

Hi Hunter!!

I have considered renting a lift but was a little intimidated. Maybe now I will give it a try. Hunter , HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sorry I am a little late.

The man lift is money well spent. Done the ladder thing even climbed the tree. God bless

A short pole pruner have expedited clipping off those thin wispys and repositioning. Fiskars makes a great 1 called Ez reach stik pruner at Home Depot. You can angle the head too.

Good morning all, Phil from Kansas City here. No Stihl store today, heading to my tree farm in Stover, MO. Looking forward to Mike’s fireworks on Saturday. Have a Day.

Hi you couldn’t have timed this video any better I will cutting our red oak limbs away from the roof valley and cleaning the pine needles off the roof. Thank you

I liked this one of you demoing the man lift. I think this fall I'll go out and rent one and do some pruning - maybe even defer the cost spread out over some of my neighbors.

In our area, we don't cut oak until after frost - oak wilt.

Mike yes it was very helpful

As always awesome Thank you Sir!!

Thanks again for the Great Fourth! I walked around looking for our Fireworks and the the Dang trees grew and covered the spots😝 I caught a few high one's came home to your live 😘 JO JO IN VT 💕 😄🇺🇸

Thanks, great information!

Once again a great job! I was thinking about using one to stain our cabin but the price was just too much for the time it takes. Scaffolding does the job. Thanks for the demo!

Mike I have to agree on the skylights we built our house in 2000 we had put in 2 skylights in, and her Grandfather told us if you cut a hole in the roof you will always have a hole in the roof. Needless to say when we have to put a new roof on we will be taking those out.

Hey Mike: sure is nice having the right tools for the job isn't it. It made the tree work a breeze. That lift worked great and I'm glad you gave me an idea as I have two big oaks I need to get down. I kinda expected to see you start an engine as I had no idea that it was electric. Be safe with the show!

Good morning To the Morgan’s. Great idea fo that most needed but dangerous job of cleaning gutters. Worth ever cent to clean up all those other jobs. Thanks for the video and will looking into a device like this. Happy forth of July and May God Bless America.

Happy Birthday Hunter!! I hope it was great!

Rented same kind of machine to cleanup some trees around my parents house, so worth the money!

What a life! All the "Big Boy Toys" a guy could dream of, and a Beautiful Lady to enjoy them with.

If it was me I’d invest in gutter guard. I put them on my house and sheds and never looked back. The best money I ever spent!

A local tree service company has a model you don't climb. It has a chain saw and grabber arm on top and you stay on the ground with a remote control in your hand. I'll call them and see how much they charge, then probably rent a unit like you just used. But, the tree company version has four wheel drive and a bit of a terrain crawling capability.

Enjoyed your Video.I now have the confidence to rent one.Thanks.

Right on Hunter !!! happy birthday 🎁

💥 We are going to need one of those this year for hanging Christmas lights. My white pines keep getting taller. 🎄 *Keep on tractoring!*

Man lift is a neat tool, impressed.

A mini JLG. Nice

I put louvered shutters inside my roof skylights to cut back on the summer heat-nothing fancy, just open/close them with a wooden pole-had them made slightly undersized in the vertical dimension and put 1x3 strips on the top and bottom of the inside of the skylight-that way I can remove the shutters for cleaning/maintenance
