You Got Some More Work Cut Out For You With The Logs Brought up from The Woods!!👍👊

[@thomasstrand9853]

Mike I am coming up on some of your older videos that I have not seen they are really good you came a long way since that 4 years ago so I say good job and congratulations

[@pipe887]

Thank you, Mike! I’m trying to save up for a tractor. In the meantime I get to enjoy watching and learning from you. You make me happy.

[@DAKTY4YOU]

Thanks for sharing, new member from live stream stay connected

[@gallan8640]

Great! Looking forward to the spillway cleaning video!

[@thomasbrighton6159]

Your shots and editing just get better and better. Watching you work brings down my blood pressure! Have a great weekend.

[@leol1682]

Thanks Mike for the video .

[@mountainviews5025]

Good job and great video Michael

[@KohlfyreProductions]

Mike thanks for another great video.

[@matthewsims359]

Man, going back and watching the older videos makes me miss the RK tractors

[@mikehornsby599]

Good stuff enjoyed that

[@stephenw8860]

That little tractor is a beast!!

[@davidbarnhart6228]

17:15 of Outdoors With The Morgans! Awesome!

[@emil8786]

says 17:14 for me, howcome you get 1 more second of OWTM than i do?!

[@kevincameron8437]

That front soaked us here in NC. Loving the product videos too. Thanks again.

[@junkersish]

You are right that grapple is phenomenal, looks like it holds 2-3 times as much as that little Mattel Barbie trailer. Unbelievable the amount of black cherries in your area_must be cherry central.Good luck with the pond and the big red-maple.

[@magnusolsson864]

thanks for a good video, mvh Magnus

[@thomasdesmond2248]

That buck was up in that area feeding on those new shoots. He will be back. God bless

[@dougmoore7116]

I know you said that ash was probably no good but I’d cut into a few n make sure, you might be surprised if it’s not laying directly on the ground that stuff will last a while. We are getting that on n off rain too just makes getting wood out a pain. Thumbs up

[@waltermattson5566]

The videos with that RK37 and the grapple are making me want one really really bad.

[@harrykeel8557]

Awesome place, I can understand why one can get distracted by that place. Deer, and beautiful wooded area to harvest trees that need culling out and using those that have fallen. It's called good stewardship of the land. Wish I lived closer wouldn't mind a piece of the maple. However, I just recently started to have one that was on the side of the road milled.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Get your wet suit on folks. Hope this weather from down here continues your way, if so you are in for a few beautiful days. We are having a great weekend and a few days till Tuesday. At least that's what the weather guessers are spreading???? Hope you can get that nice buck with the bow. Maybe the daughter can bag him if you don't run him off before gun season. Good luck to all. Thanks for sharing.

[@mattbarker7739]

I've enjoyed the videos,I'd to see videos working on, around the pond sometimes in warmer weather

[@maurniceambrose8488]

👋🏽 just came over from The Arms Family.

[@seanworkman431]

Thanks Mike

[@glenturner5356]

Mike absolutely love your videos I am saving up for a Kubota around the 38hp range for my 50 acre property. so I have been learning a lot from you thank you.by the way my partner likes the cat doing its thing behind you.lol

[@budmiller3477]

A commercial wood chipper would be a great ad to your equitment for your land management.

[@georgeodbert569]

Ya only 40k

[@michaelmartino5473]

Hey Mike love the videos. You think that grapple is great wait till you put a logging winch on the back of that RK37 and turn that tractor into a little skidder. I put a Farmi logging winch on the back of my MF 1540 and it saves so much time.

[@arthurbuckyelksjr7918]

Mike i love your grapple as well and i want 1 like it to help me with clearing land. 2 things you should check in to is a firewood processor and a saw mill. Then you could really work up some wood. Bucky

[@balljar7546]

Dude, we have a love hate relationship and you don't even know it. I work night shift, so I wake up around noon and let the dogs out, grab a cup of coffee and see if Mike posted anything. I look forward to your videos. Thank you for taking time out to do this, it means more than you know or you'll be told. Also thanks for the numbering of your videos, that way I know if I missed something or not.

[@mattm840]

Are you able to stack those loaded totes 2 tall?

[@bigbigby4657]

Cold week the past week with a light frost or 2 has the leaves quickly changing here in Tn. finally too🍃🍂🍁🎃...👍

[@berkheimer5918]

Hey Mike I'm a couple hours east of you also have had a lot of rain all year I set up a dining canopy for different jobs just to keep the rain off you could put one over top of your log splitting area to help keep you dry while working

[@firewoodtherapy5749]

Mike you need a log trailer for your firewood poles! Could build one. Great video!

[@jimherman3688]

Greetings Mike - Your grapple is more of what I would call a rake grapple, or root grapple, due to being designed and built with the somewhat shorter bottom tines. The shorter bottom tines make your grapple useful for working the upper 8 to 10 inches of soil on the forest floor (or anywhere else) if you should ever need to, or want to. Allow me to point out another desirable feature of your grapple. The ends of your grapple are not "boxed in" (similar to a loader bucket) like so many grapple designs are. My grapple is a 72" Legend Attachments Utility Grapple (much longer bottom tines), which I use on a Branson 55hp tractor, almost identical to your RK55. It's a great grapple, but when I bought it, I noticed the ends were a bit closed in and remarked about them to the dealer. My grapple is an amazingly capable tool and there's no way I would like to go back to not having it, but if I had it to do all over again, I would look for a design with open ends like yours. It's just more versatile overall, it seems. I apologize for the long comment, but every time the subject of grapples comes up, there are quite a number of commenters expressing interest. This seemed like a good opportunity to point out a couple of differences in grapple design and function. Thanks to all of you for putting up with me.

[@broken_bones_acres]

I miss the rk tractors lol

[@jamisgood21]

hahaha Dude your cat that walked by is exactly like mine! Mine is still a kitten though. But soon enough she'll be hunting mice here at my rural country abode. Got a fire going right now to keep my typin' fingers warm too.

[@jimmycollins3760]

Mike, after doing my homework on several different brands of tractors, you and your video's have sold me on the RK37. The RK24 is a little small and the RK55 is little to big for my needs. The RK37 is perfect. RK includes so many nice features which are standard as opposed to other companies charging extra. Throw in an 8 year warranty and the lowest price and it makes it a no brainer. Keep the videos coming. I watch them almost every night. Take care, Jim from Central Florida.

[@jimjohnson3244]

Jimmy Collins I’m looking at the RK37 and RK55 and also in central Florida. Which 37 are you going with, the hydro or shuttle shift and have you purchased it yet? Cab or open station? It’s gotten hard to decide. I need (want?) a tractor to try and tame this property. Decisions, decisions..........

[@elricofarmer1561]

Where are these made? I own an LS4046 made in South Korea and really love it. It came loaded with great price. This tractor looks and sounds identical and wondered if they came out of the same factory?

[@bobodean1]

Keep growing the beard!!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

They'd call me ole gray beard

[@erich_fuchs]

"intel for firewood" ,😂🤣

[@brucebello2049]

Mike, good afternoon, is it possible for you to use a winch on one of the RK’s?

[@scottka]

If only you had some equipment to put that spillway in, like a tractor or two. Just kidding, you seem to do a lot, something to look forward to next year. Keep the video's coming.

[@georgecunningham1126]

We follow you on youtube and enjoy your videos very much. We were wondering if it would be possible to see the pictures of Woodstack 2018 some other way than on Facebook. We do not have a Facebook account and don't want to open one but we really would like to see the photos.

[@Leverguns50]

Did you ever see the deer again? Seen you over at the farmall

[@johnveal110]

Love the videos and anything about tractors is great. One question: How many hours do you have on each tractor. It appears that the RK37 has become your favorite. Thanks for the videos.

[@a.l.l.firewood8883]

You might be surprised about the ash that's all I've been cutting lately you would think it would be junk cause it has no bark but it's actually still good and it burns great

[@memyselfandifarmer]

i marked ash trees with paint in the summer years ago so i could cut them in the winter, if you need more let me know. bucks during rut travel 5 to 7 miles while normal times 2 to 4. pa game commission has data with collars on the deer.wet weekend stinks, family and i try to go pheasant hunting but rain is in the way, so i worked on adjusting my wine juice from erie, get the alcohol level and acidity correct. 15% alcohol!!!

[@travis64922]

So out of all 3 tractors which one do u like the best? I have a john deere 2 series and i found it not to be big enough. So i was thinking a 3 series or maybe a 4 series but cab or no cab? The 3 series with a cab is $10,000 + more then an open station.

[@2naturesownplace]

4100 front in failed again.. say F it enough is a enough..went to RK dealer... for the 24... sold out and a back log on sales for a few months .. only models at the dealers now RK37... thus back to using the Trusty John Deere M til they get caught up on sales ( shows how good the tractors are ..selling like hot cakes ) And everyone shopping for one at the store was mentioning your channel

[@chrissmith9668]

@RK Tractor Guy Any plans for an RK tractor model that is around 30hp in the near future? Something right in between the RK24 and RK37?

[@mjmtreeservicemaintenance2940]

Damn Mike, gotta get some meat in the freezer!!!

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

I see you had a frost ..as the leaves are turning red.

[@probuildman]

Hey Mike really enjoy these videos I recently purchased a Kubota l2501 and thoroughly enjoying the tractor going to be using it to clear some property we are getting ready to buy just waiting to go through all the process I have purchased a few implements for it already and really want a grapple what brand is that one you have I don't think I've caught the name from your videos

[@chiefmik9108]

Another Great Video.... Been Raining out here most of the weekend also... Mike what is the average cut length on the trees you were pulling out on this video & why you cut them that size...Chief{NYS/ADK}

[@jeremyhussey4645]

Mike have you given any thought to building a saw bench to sit the logs on and cut them up? I been thinking about it but haven't come up with a good design. Thoughts?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

yes I should do that,

[@MrKen-longrangegrdhogeliminato]

The dead punky trees, Hügelkultur, use it or sell it for a Hügelkultur garden bed.

[@cptophers4626]

Did the ash trees get hit by the emerald ash borer?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yep, all dead, I hate that

[@cmexrayu]

Mike. What brand/model brush cutter are you using?

[@Living-The-Dream]

👍

[@jasonmccook843]

Mike, Rained here for the last 2 days in NE GA. Temps dropped as well. Just wondering do you normally run in 4 wheel drive when hauling logs with the grapple? As always good video! Thanks

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes almost always in 4 wheel drive, don't need it so much for getting around but it really helps going down hills

[@InvestingWisely]

Pretty soon it will be the white stuff falling!

[@jeffhewitt8087]

Is there a firewood processor in your future?

[@casycasy5199]

what was the sizes of the logs

[@Roadhammer33]

We know the dogs names, was wondering what is the cats name?

[@Brookside975]

Great episode, but am getting more and more ads from KZbin. Not your fault, but it is disturbing.

[@iamme7681]

Taking RK tractors a bit more seriously. I am guessing they are less expensive than the JD and kubota?

[@salchicharey]

I really like the videos...can you stop with the hand gestures...who ever said to do that on camera is wrong!

[@DAWGnROADIE]

Such a beautiful property, wouldnt it be amazing to encourage the wildlife to thrive instead of hunting them. Imagine the videos with abundant wildlife.

[@pohbor5788]

You can still have abundant wildlife and hunt at the same time. Often if you don't hunt you can end up with an overabundance.

[@matthewsims359]

Luckily, i have only had one very minor issue with the RK55 and RK resolved it in a timely fashion. I just hope it continues to do well because reading on the forums, the parts availability and service is very sub par. However, it does seem to depend on where you have the service done. Some RK owners praise their service department and others have such bad experiences that they wish they never bought an RK tractor. I have about 3yrs of warranty left but again, the warranty is only as good as the parts availability and the service. Your videos do make you think that RK tractors are awesome as long as they dont need service

[@matthewsims359]

Its now been 6plus yrs and still no spillway lol
