[@mattb6684]

Thanks Mike! I cant thank you enough for coming over and helping out. Now I just have to figure out a way to talk Jessica in to letting me get our own RK Tractor to do the rest of those old pines!

[@WestPaPyro]

Hey Matt we can light that with a fireball! Lol

[@phil.paulastocks2276]

Mike, If more people would generously help each other out the way you helped Matt, this world would be such a much nicer place to live. Good job sir!

[@russellbowman8051]

Nice work to help a guy out in need you made short work of that job!!

[@TKCL]

That little tractor impressed me more than the other two you have! Wow!!

[@daryljones4242]

Mike, after watching you use the Granite grapple I bought one and went ahead and bought an RK37 to go with it. Love this tractor and grapple together, thanks for showing what this grapple annnd tractor are capable of. “Your a good man Mike Morgan”!

[@davedowding5883]

Mike, that was impressive. Your willingness to share your skills and equipment with your friends and neighbors is really how strong communities work best. Thanks for your example. BTW Matt sure looked like a cross trainer! Built like a tank.

[@brucelake2004]

Wow!!! Great job on making a brush pile.

[@zacb3272]

Very good video thanks for the time on each stump

[@kapperoutdoors]

Nice work for that little red! Looking forward to my new grapple :) Thanks Mike

[@wyattearp1418]

That was fun to watch, thanks!

[@carrollthim8460]

[@backtobasicstipswithtomrib19]

Neighbor helping Neighbor...that is how this country was founded. Good job Mike

[@gregj7916]

really beautiful looking property....

[@bradleysnyder555]

Keep up the voice over explanations! They add so much more to your channel.

[@paultacy186]

Great video! Thank you so much for the voice over telling what you're doing and why. It really helps us less skilled subscribers and other viewers.

[@jimclark576]

That little RK24 gets the job done! I like the music, voice over combination.

[@davidmoran1422]

You are such a good man. Wish I could help people like you do.

[@lindaeverett6984]

great video...................really shows the strength and versatility along with your skill at operating that beast

[@doncastro7726]

Hey Mike Irwin guy (Don) here again. I can't say thank you enough for finally putting Sherman to work on some real tough tasks. I asked for it and you have been coming through with the videos of just what that little tractor is capable of on a real level. Not all of us can afford a 37 or bigger. Super appreciative of the videos and you and your family and general. Other subscribers are right if more people and this world we're like you it would be a much better place great job man!

[@mikehornsby599]

Great job enjoyed that!!!

[@terrymangum3914]

Very nice of you helping out you neighbor Matt. The RK tractor did a nice job. Impressed with the ease you backed the trailer down his driveway. I am not very good at backing a trailer. Enjoyed this video.

[@jeremiahfink7253]

I've been looking for a tractor to do almost exactly that mostly. At the moment my credit wont allow it though but as soon as it will I've been researching the rk24 and might just get one. My wife wants kubota but seeing the rk24 do work with your videos has convinced me that not only is it cheaper than kubota but it looks as though it pretty much walks hand in hand with what a kubota can do. But I like how the controls are on the rk24 better. I would go for an rk37 I think it is with the cab but I'm not sure if I could get approved for that much. I just bought 4.81 wooded acres a year ago and almost all my neighbors have cleared property except a few trees. My property sticks out like a sore thumb. Plus we have been thinking about getting more livestock so trees need cleared. Most of them are smaller, about maybe 6 inches in diameter or less but I cant seem to move forward with other plans for my property until I get a tractor to clear it. With what you have shown me about the rk24 I believe that will be the first tractor I go for as soon as possible. I have a question though, with everything I just told you, what should i try to get with the tractor? I plan on getting a loader and backhoe. Also I'm a beginner with a tractor. I've ran a new Holland when I was 16 but that was 15 years ago and I only borrowed it for a little bit of work

[@dmorgan28]

That little tractor will surprise you won’t it? Good job. Thanks for the video. 👍❤️

[@williamgraham8809]

Having a grapple is great, sharing it with others is awesome! Great friend!

[@bigbuck1074]

Man your property's in PA are beautiful Great work Mike Life's great when you're doing what you love to do

[@mikethomas1009]

Good narration, fun video.

[@bobpurs]

Nice job Mike.

[@ddsharpening]

Mike good job, I like the voice over explaining. I’m a new owner of a BX23S and I’m going to pull some stumps from the trees I’ve dropped. Your explanations will help. When I bought the tractor I also bought a grapple, absolutely love it. I knew I needed one after watching you and GP Outdoors. Keep up the good work!!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Hey Mike, nice job helping the friend out, sure makes for a great video. You all did a good job and I can imagine how relieved Matt was when you were through for the day. Thanks for sharing and good luck Matt.

[@HuntrPat]

got bunch of stumps to be removed my self. Good job!

[@stephengmeiner3264]

Great video. Like the voice over. Yeah, pines.... that’s 80% of what we have and I don’t have a grapple. Most of the trees are aging out so the work is getting more intense. I have the backhoe, but now I think it’s time for the grapple!

[@pipe887]

Thank you!!!

[@tknoerle1451]

Way to go Mike... RK does it so well again!

[@stevemartinez6757]

I have done a lot of that on our property with my "green" sub-compact tractor. I've lost count as far as how many stumps I have dug up. Some have taken 30 minutes or more (oak and hickory not pine). Of course, I am in no big hurry and take my time while doing it. Every time I see you using a grapple it makes me want to get one more and more. I take the same approach with stumps and small trees. Find the main roots and dig out until I can break them.

[@forrestanderson2652]

Good video Mike and Melissa... and yeah, " Beg Borrow or Steal for your love" is a great song..

[@ronhartle3268]

Wow, now my yard next 😉

[@customowing]

The little tractor that could

[@rickysafer2895]

That RK 24 did a good job on the stumps.

[@floydferguson5366]

Great video!

[@michaelbradley8508]

Great educational video. Hope your viewers were paying attention, they could have learned a lot. Your post video narrative was very helpful. Thank you. Michael from Canada

[@waltermattson5566]

That tractor was impressive like the rest of them. Good video and it was nice to have you talking during it.

[@lloydpainter1701]

That is going to make a really nice fire! Mike you are a good neighbor. Cleaning up the neighborhood one stump at a time. I do enjoy your professional videos.

[@marksleeper3752]

nice job Mike

[@ronandloriwood7847]

Love the voice over great video. I have been getting those pine trees every chance I can. I have been milling them on my Woodmizer. I have a real nice stack of 2x's that I am going to use to build deer blinds. I think I may even build an outhouse for our farm. A 2 holer maybe. Ron :)

[@starwombat]

Love the blues

[@lloyddahlen1141]

Mike you are a nice guy, thanks for sharing the info on them trees , I have seen people that have no idea how those trees are structured, thanks again for sharing that info, you are a good man Mike 👍and I enjoyed seeing you work,⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

Oh I got to get a grapple. What a great idea, the dealer and you showing us what this equipment can do. 👍

[@wayneschnare4019]

Your a good man , and always awesome tunes !!!!!

[@stewartew]

Sherman comes through again, that "little guy" has a lot of heart.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Just picked up a grapple for the KY farm! Looking forward to it! You made it look easy, can't imagine doing all that branch piling by hand! lol

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Good deal, you will love it Kap

[@georgehill99]

Always like your content and friendly presentation to

[@mikeholubek4419]

Good 2 See that You tie down Properly!

[@rickskirvin1419]

Looks good. Those backhoes on those small tractors come in real handy.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there nice work good video. looks like needle cast on the trees . you should save a few those logs for your new sawmill . they would make great beginner logs .. doesn't matter if you miss cut and they saw easy . take care john

[@botabob]

That little RK is a powerful tool.

[@tgrif04]

Down south here, we have pine beetles that kill the trees. If you get beetles in one tree, over time all the nearby pines will die also. Good video.

[@johnpyle8027]

My neighbor just finished cutting down all their pines. They planted just over 300 of them and the pine beetle got them. he would cut half a dozen at a time and burn the whole tree. Been doing it for about 3 years and just took down the last 3. He cut the stumps level for mowing, I don't think he is doing anything with them. 300+ is too much. I sure do miss the privacy! You did a good job explaining what and why you were doing things and the limitations of the machine. Even mentioning a mini excavator! Without the narration someone in the market may think they could go by the 24 and do this every single day and destroy the machine, get hurt or spend money unwisely! That 24 would do me fine, but everything at my place is established. I would not say no to the 24 with a small box with rippers and a loader just to maintain my ditches each spring or picking something out of my truck I don't want to lift!

[@makeitrightb6550]

Nice job with your little machine!

[@richarddyer7131]

Mike you make it look easy.

[@chancebernhardt4815]

Mike you need a TroyBilt 4inch Chipper it would help you so much on your cleanups, or maybe Royal King has one that you could use

[@denisricher1349]

Nice job Mike.... Very neighborly

[@dougbower9479]

That grapple attachment is worth every penny.

[@dennisdombroski6946]

Pines sometimes start to die and people will take a pole trimmer or the like and trim of dead stuff. But, they keep going with the same blade and contaminate the next tree giving it the same disease. Should clean the blade with diluted bleach between individual trees. I know, I did it to about 8 trees. That piece of advice came from an arborist working for Ohio Edison/Penn Power.

[@Chris-jh3tg]

Sasquatch sighting @7:14. Nice work. By the way, wanted to share with you that you helped me with my work out back today. Watching you spread stone with your bucket was really cool, so I tried it today while trying to level a piece of ground. Thanks for your help.

[@NewtonWashinton]

Good Job! I know i always feel good helping friends, Yep i am thinking of a RK tractor myself.

[@markb.1259]

That MS 362 is a great saw. I have the 362 M-Tronic version. No carb adjustments. You just pull the rope and it runs!!!

[@hyattfamilyfarmtractoradve6066]

I tell ya these compact tractors they make today are little beasts. I have a Kioti CK2610 and it surprises me all the time. Acts like a bigger tractor. Enjoy your channel alot.

[@StreetRocketJoe]

Finally nice to see that trailer getting some video time ha ha ha ha. I think the biggest lesson I have learned from you about compact tractors is patients. They really can do just about anything if you think outside the box and just take your time.

[@bobfuchs3627]

That little RK really does a lot. Your a good neighbor and friend Mike

[@gooru1297]

I like the music 👌

[@georgecharokee4570]

I just have to comment on How Lovely The Beautiful One is Looking !!! That RK24 is Definitely a Little work Horse. What's Up Big Buddy Hunter !!!

[@John-kp4wy]

love little jobs like that. last summer i took my b7610 over to a relatives house to clean up a down pine tree and bush hog a the corner of overgrown property. along with spread some stone for a parking area. its great getting projects outside of your own property ! mixes up the monotony lol

[@johnsonfamilyhobbyfarm4083]

How long is that tractor with a tiller on the rear?

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Good job Mike. I have been using a sub-compact grapple to stack brush for a couple of years.... for me, I find that alternating loads perpendicularly on the pile keeps them from rolling, burns cleaner and builds a taller pile. Might try it... like I said... works for me.

[@rockiemountin7535]

What option of tires is on that RK 24 they don’t look Too aggressive this is what I would like but I’m not sure what option that is ,the ag4 is too much for my lawn and the turf tires are no good for Diggin

[@retireddriver16]

Nice job 👍

[@larryhofmeister8929]

Great vid, love the tune. Hi Hunter!

[@munched55]

Those pines you're working with there look like the spruce I have on my place. The real fun starts after you buck them up with power saws and then you try to split the rounds with an axe for firewood. A kazillion knots every six inches and for a softwood, they're brutal. I have a hydraulic splitter too but there's no fun in that for an axe collector plus I need the workout.

[@munched55]

@@gordbaker896 not my first choice either but the chimney is swept every year here in the fall.

[@mountainfeist3750]

Good job!!

[@johntosten4779]

Mr. Mike I"m impressed with what that little machine can do. how much do you think it actually can lift with the grapple?

[@petermavus4131]

Tractor time with Mike

[@brucealvarez9263]

Good advice on stump removal. That dead pine will go up fast.

[@danmech123]

East vs. West = Out here, I hate seeing those logs go into the slash pile. That's heat for me. One of these days I may move back where I grew up and we had real wood like you guys do.

[@markbrown9838]

Really enjoyed Beg Borrow or Steal. Great song. Had not heard that before. If it's not too much trouble could you tell me who sings it?

[@ktulipan7543]

Can’t believe you were burning the wood instead of turning it into use such as chopping and converting it into mulch or compost. Very much old school

[@rbmoose22]

As soon as Mike pulled onto the trailer, I was expecting Melissa to pull away!

[@jamesaston1345]

Great video as usual 👍

[@stevengardepe6037]

Love the subliminal message 😆

[@richardgoecks9377]

Do you still have the backhoe attachments or the other tractors? Haven't saw you use them in a while.

[@enmanuelraymundo7063]

Wow Nice

[@bentleyrichardson4283]

GREAT JOB MIKE! MY DAD ALWAYS TOLD ME USE DON'T ABUSE MACHINERY AND IT WILL DO THE WORK FOR YOU AND HE WAS RIGHT NICE VIDEO AND GREAT LOOKING SHOES MELISSA

[@billonthehill9984]

Mike, you have become the " guru " of stump digging, lol. I get nervous with small children running around when I'm operating equip., as one has to constantly be on the lookout... The " Little Tractor That Could " would seem to apply here... You were careful not to push it too hard with respect to those small front tires & no bent tines, thats always a plus! All the best, Bill on the Hill... :~)

[@tonybrown3778]

Love the grapple

[@beenebb]

I like the Bleus

[@lowercherty]

We have the same problem with spruce trees in Minnesota, except they grow bigger. I cut them into 4 to 6 ft lengths, branches and all, and put them on the burn pile that way. Saves me time by removing steps in the process. They don't make good firewood anyway.

[@MetaView7]

That backhoe . . . is it the same as the one on the BX23s?

[@PatrickCPalmer]

What a tank! I say you go to BK with Hunter and celebrate!

[@Rex2002]

Вы прекрасны леди.

[@snymat_68]

Hey Mike, are you able to lift/curl or lower/dump at the same time with Sherman? With my RK24 it's VERY difficult to get more than one function at a time. I find myself doing a lot of lift, curl, lift, curl, etc. I've read it has a lot to do with the valve used as far as how well you can "corner" it. Just wondering if your 24 acts the same as mine. Thanks!

[@richardglandus1576]

Très belle vidéo Très beau tracteur et très bien équipé. Doit être très agréable à conduire et travailler avec. Dommage qu'il n'y en ait pas en France. J'aimerais bien en essayer un et certainement en acheter un. Très beau travail 👍😀
