LOOKING REAL GOOD MIKE

[@russellbowman8051]

Like it job well done!!👍👊

[@miguelojk]

Lov this series, really enjoyable and teachable!!!!

[@markboettcher9443]

Cute trick. Wish implements changed that easy in real life!

[@jimbob3201]

Love all the videos ,, especially the ones out in the woods .. You have a great property ..

[@karenjones8354]

We can't get grass to grow under our huge oaks. Looking at using the fescue.

[@robertf7982]

Did it grow

[@amandahugginkiss9119]

Did it work?

[@harryfatcat]

Be well and safe Joe Cole. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@darcywalls1465]

Keeping 🤞for you Mike

[@tonymcmillan3004]

i have confidence it will grow and be a beautiful trail

[@stanleyjohnston5876]

Why don't you use a seeder behind the tractor?

[@Lazarus-xy4fr]

Uhhhhh, Mike, absolutely LUVVVVV, all the work you do on your channel, however I have a question. WHY would you plant grass seed on a forest trail that you JUST spent so much time clearing? Was it just to prove that grass could grow in the forest, or what? I TRULY am curious.

[@rnrudynh1427]

In NH we call a path like that a snow mobile trail. Looks great Mike. Love the onboard camera shots.

[@kerrybowden9097]

Going to be a pretty nice trail for the family to enjoy. Amazing wood lot there also.

[@stevemartinez6757]

In my mind, a day out in the woods doing something on my property is never "a waste of time". You got a bit of exercise out in the woods, did something that you hope will be productive and still got to ride on the tractor. I would call that a good few hours of time.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Agreed!

[@HavingfunAfterfifty]

I'm looking around....and wondering how this fall and all the leaves will affect the outcome for next year. We have planted raspberry plants on our property and the wild grass dominates everything, so we are constantly cutting around the patch. Leaf blower sounds like work....but maybe a quick pass with the mower is all you will need to throw the leaves out of the way. Not familiar with that country, so will be fun to see the outcome.

[@ianabbott785]

Nice series of videos for the trail. Good to see you getting some exercise in this one as well Mike, most I have ever seen you walk.

[@cdsadventures8578]

Looks nice. Hey just wondered how your food plot is coming along? Let's see a video on it. Hunting right around the corner. 😉

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great job Mike, really like what you’re doing for the trails. Thank you all for sharing with us, they really are therapeutic too!!

[@dennisfahlstrom1257]

Nice work Mike. You didn’t mention much about your grass choice. I know there are blends of grass that combine some kind that are fast growing like winter rye with others that are better for shade. When you follow up with this in the next video try and let us know what you used and why - and how well it did or didn’t go. Keep them coming.

[@tauntlines7712]

Enjoy your work , curious to see how the grass works out with shade especially when you had mentioned earlier about soon wanting leaf cover to blend the trail into the landscape, I can’t help but want to gravel a trail as top finish coat but as much a binding base to help with mud etc. if turns out well yours would be much less maintenance and expense especially if looks just as nice and is enjoyable for walking the property

[@AT-ib1cx]

Thanks for Keeping Real and no fake Drama.

[@regsparkes6507]

Yes, Anthony, this is what makes this channel the 'tops' for me too!

[@rnrudynh1427]

10000% agreed. The Morgans rule.

[@AT-ib1cx]

You are the Boss so will have to go with that...Keep doing what you are doing!!!!! Thanks

[@edwardkenny2356]

I appreciate you sharing the story about Joe...very cool. I'm anxious to see what the trail looks like in a month or two. Also, thank you for the well wishes on my drive to Vancouver, Washington. Got here unscathed about 30 minutes ago. The trail looks great!

[@seanworkman431]

Couple of frames either side of that packer with Poly water tanks inside that you can fill and empty as required would work for extra weight. I think that mix should work, I hope for your friends sake or he might have international egg on his face:) Another great video Mike, keep em comin!

[@davem.5147]

Mike: I would like to know what method of Autumn leaf collection you use. Being on my farm for 30 years, even the trees that Melissa and I have planted are mature. The amount of leaves from the plantings plus surrounding forest that perpetually blow directly to home and barns, etc are OVERWHELMING in collection. At 70 years old I need, well WANT, a better method of removal. Currently use a JD Zero turn with factory secondary exhaust blower/grinder and cart. I am inclined to go with larger equipment the Fall. Just would like your input. Dave & Melissa, Shenandoah Valley

[@d.a.ballou9740]

Mike, I just wanted to echo what everyone else is saying about how great this series of videos (and all the others) have been. I am also enjoying the "special effects" you (or Melissa) have added to the last two videos. I wish I had just half of your energy then maybe I could get some more things done around here. :)

[@Kamikaze_4]

So, does any grass grow on the trail? I'd like to know the answer if anyone out there knows.

[@gregdavis8217]

Mike thanks for showing off the RK 37. I am hoping to order one soon. I was wondering have you had it go through a regen yet? And if so at how many hours did it occur?

[@adventurerhoades]

This channel is getting more expensive than dish,direct ect combined. Since this channel I bought land 133 acres with small house and small pole barn, started food plots with friends tractor, buck boss 350 feeder, stihl battery pole saw, and on a trip visited 2 rural kings :) Loving the finer things in life :)

[@treeclimbing7798]

Like to add to that, you inspire me also..thanks 😀👍🏼 those seeders work so well.

[@streetrodder2846]

One can easily overlook the amount of time and effort that goes into the filming you are doing.(Moving the camera around at different angles and such.) It really must add another 30% to 40% more work into your projects. Thank you for your dedication to excellence. Jim - Olympia, WA

[@davem.5147]

Thanks Mike for the tips. Used Fescue Red shade grass seed in shady areas on one of our very rich soil tractor paths, but highly shaded with deciduous and mixed evergreens. Local Southern States Coop thinks I am nuts to waste time as it is August. Probably a waste of a few hours and $100.00 of seed. Areas near and on trails are barren and need erosion control. Excess rains this year and trail clearing destroyed even weeds. Several areas of partial shade I mixed in rye. I did that one late July in 2010 after having a sunroom built, over 3/4 acre needed grass. Rye was up in a few days and gave slower growing grass the time it needed to germinate, grow healthy in hot summer. I was mowing it carefully in 6 weeks. This is lower Shenandoah Valley in a water, springs rich property. I'll know in a few weeks. As long as I am outside. Even rainy days is always a beautiful day

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

I think the cultipacker frame is already designed to be the weight "holder". Usually one uses solid cement blocks.If from back to front between the frame angle iron is in 6" increments (heavy 12" ,18" or even 24")the solid blocks will fit.Hollow blocks will work but the solid ones are a lot heavier.

[@rogertallentire2961]

Nice job. Love that quick change of attachments. Magic click of the fingers.

[@lmychajluk]

I need that QuickAttach. Is that same company that makes the Clap On/Off lights?

[@donaldjohnson7834]

What are you gonna do now that the trail is finished? Time to start on the equipment shed!

[@jeffbrooks8504]

Great job as always! I like the magic touch.

[@jeffbaker4092]

That is a nice trail Mike. Lot of hard work.

[@menace2584]

That turned out looking great. You have one pretty good fill area. May need a small pipe to prevent washouts near the range area. Hope the grass comes up.

[@jayssmalltownarventures]

Looks great, I enjoyed watching

[@tome7323]

It looks like it should work

[@brianarnold71]

Fine job mike, it will grow. B.arnold

[@botabob]

Your trail is looking good - you will be opening up access to your land like never before - have a great day

[@bigbird130]

I really hope it grows you've spent a good amount of time on that trail. It's looking pretty professional.

[@mikewawrzkiewicz3741]

Trail looks awesome guess I’ll have to get on mine just seems like I have tons of rocks see ya Napa mike

[@kevinmason3086]

I've always have used Scott's grass seed and fertilizer and had very good results with it is makes your grass really thick and it works in the shade

[@swillk1]

Great looking trail! You do good work, Mike.

[@talezfromthedashcam3138]

Mike, You might want to rethink the title of this. You know, black helicopters have been flying around da 'burgh lately. You can name that trail Copperhead Road. : )

[@paullavoie8087]

This really looks good!

[@epdk9sn]

You’ve got me mapping a trail through my woods and looking at prices for a mini ex rental! THANKS A LOT! Haha! Skip

[@Living-The-Dream]

You do really fine work !! 👍

[@johnreinburg859]

It looks damn good! The trail is awesome, I like it. I hope it works out for you.

[@kevinbrewer2141]

It's never a waste of time when you are on a tractor. That's my only quite time I get.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Correct!

[@regsparkes6507]

Nice job again, Mike really nice,..this is going to be a great trail, I can see it now!! It's 'gonna' be even more beautiful soon.

[@4poppa1]

Learn something useful with every video posted. What became of the food plot you put in a couple of months ago? I'm in Northeast Ohio - we had those same storms come thru - up close and personal but fortunately we only got about an inch of rain. Quite windy as it blew thru.

[@cptophers4626]

the trail looks good. between the seed you put down and the wild occurring seed it will be green in no time. i have a gravel driveway and the wild grass grows in that.

[@joemc111]

Hi Mike nice video just long enough. If you could tell us how much did you pay for the seed? I know you said the trail was about 1/2 mile, thanks.

[@larryceaser1706]

Good Job Mike just fyi I have been told that clover will grow anywhere by several farmers in this neck of the woods hope you dont need it but just information in case

[@philipcross5332]

👌looks good , fingers crossed for the grass growing 😃

[@mikehornsby599]

Looks really nice good job!!

[@louboutin5776]

Mike I think everyone would be interested in your technic for changing implements. I have a quick hitch but your method is much faster.......

[@CliffsideStables]

I need to “get with it” and do the same on our place! Thanks for the motivating video.

[@jasonoroark376]

Trail Looks good mike. Same shirt an hat as video #186 lol. Why didnt u plant some seed for the deer on the trail

[@johngallagher2313]

If it rains it will come up how well it sticks remains to be seen. Rural King should give you a demo electric seeder for the side by side.

[@rogerl8488]

Mike , spread some pellets of lime that will help netrulize the soil. Looks great!!!

[@eddiep5676]

Sweet shirt!

[@gordyhouse4732]

Mike, because of your wife I now look at what shirt your wearing.

[@adventurerhoades]

My Dad is a color blinded preacher. My mom always helped him pick his cloths lol

[@vlchipmeador1559]

Mike, enjoyed the video again but couldn’t help noticing that the steering wheel on the tractor is twisted so that the RK is lying down on the job when you are driving straight forward. Lol. Sorry my eye picks up things like that. Nice shirt by the way, nothing like the tee shirt you had on in the last video. Melissa must be thrilled. Lol.

[@freepatriot6313]

The steering is hydrostatic/hydraulic ...not a positive geared engagement....so the wheel will change rotation in relation to the direction constantly ….a little at a time....

[@dougmoore7116]

Thumbs up

[@shawnboss5542]

That really turned out nice ! Just curious how many hours do you have on each one of your Rk tractors by now ??

[@10esseeTony]

Good question....I've had my RK24 two weeks now and have 21 hours! :D

[@donmotz5528]

Trail is lookin good Mike.

[@steveniemyer9288]

I wonder how many people come here wanting to learn how to “grow grass in the woods” are shocked to learn its actual grass😄

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Steve Niemyer, lol I didn't think of that

[@epdk9sn]

Haha!

[@anthonydaros8938]

Forget hand held you need pto broadcast spreader

[@fjb5263]

Do these tractors require def?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Zac Keller. No

[@10esseeTony]

Anything over 24HP now has the emissions equipment, although I am not sure DEF is required, there is a particulate filter that occasionally you will get a warning light that you need to run full throttle for 30 minutes or so to burn up the sediment captured. But I am probably totally wrong. :D

[@fjb5263]

10esseeTony I hope you are that is total bs especially for off road equipment it’s bad enough on the trucks.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

I would get five gallon bucks, fill them with water and ratchet spray them down for weight. That way it is easy to adjust the weight. Just add or subtract water. God bless.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Nice job

[@jasonbice1103]

Man I keep feeling the urge to walk the trail with an old axe and chop those roots, i know you said you would hog it after you get a stand of grass. I just don't like the chance of it popping up into your ranger. good job.

[@donbrutcher4501]

You've mastered the Charlie Chaplin walk :)

[@ritterjon]

Mike, this upbeat music isn’t helping me getting my 2 year old to sleep. Almost every night she says “I want to watch Mike” and she usually falls asleep by the end of the video. Can you find something a little more soothing for Brynlee please. 😁😁👍 Thanks!!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Jon Ritter, I will see what I can do

[@WestPaPyro]

If you need a spot to test that tractor out on a farm, bring it on over. In cranberry...

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Come on grass GROW!!!!

[@victorcastle1840]

Mike, You may have a problem where the Maples are growing near your road. The Maples put out a webbing of shallow roots that zap all the moister . You can't hardly grow anything underneath them for that reason. They will take over your whole woods. In 10 years or so watch and see what all the sapling are, as their will be just hundreds of young Maples. Where I am living use to be all Oak, Hickory,Walnut etc. woods and the bottom land was Maples. I guess the prairie fires would keep the Maples in check. I have had real good luck with Kentucky 31, grass seed . Even up against the North side of the Woods, my roadway has been in about 30 years. It is the South side of my field and gets a lot of traffic. Good luck
