LOL it's a Beutiful day here in NC too! WOooooooO!! Great vid Mike! Can't wait to come do a collaboration video! Maybe you can show me how to run that mill!

Little by little when you have time makes progress on the hunting cabin !!👍👊

[@johnmuncy1710]

That Xmark is a great mower. It's what I used when I had a lawn service My wife and I go out to eat a couple times a week. We say we are going to try some place different but always end up at one of our two favorites. I hope it was a great night.

[@billonthehill9984]

Thanks guys, always a pleasure. So no Pepe-Le-Pew, ( yet )... I like how you chinked between the wood rows in the totes. The paying cust. should appreciate this. A cord is a cord is a cord. I'm on the mend from an almost rookie type of mistake yesterday liming out (3) Scottish pines I dropped simultaneously. That part went perfect, all (3) went where I wanted them. Anyhow, I escaped from would could have broke my neck or back or worse! Due to the extreme terrain I'm working on I took a tumble, rolled down a steep embankment, helmet went flying, wedges came flying out of my chaps, the saw landed perfectly upright & never stalled. I sat there & did a quick bodily assessment & out of breath & came away with a bruised left upper arm & a slightly bruised upper rib on the outside. It could have been worse! This is what happens after taking (8) consecutive days OFF, I lost my mojo! Think I'll mow the lawn... Bill on the Hill... :~)

Oh wow, glad you're going to be ok

A winter project - a small picnic table for under the "cabin" and keep you eye out for a fire ring. Sitting at night in the Fall or winter, a nice fire. All by yourself in the quiet or with a Buddy ( Melissa, Hunter, Stanley ). Go to sleep in the woods and wake with the sunrise. Your a lucky man Mike Morgan ( you worked hard for it ). And no you don't have to video and share it. Take care all

[@bigbigby4657]

Still summer down this way, highs in the low 90's, could be worse, but totally envious of the mid to upper 60's I see forecasted up y'alls way! That mower is built A Lot like my Gravely, and it too does well on slopes and banks. I got to smiling with Mike cutting in circles around the deer feeder, cause that's exactly what I do too in my backyard around the fire pit.😃👍

[@seanworkman431]

My ears pricked up when I heard mention of Cliff in the last video but didn't mention it because I happen to know he has a wonderful sense of humour. Also, he has the sweetest neighbours anyone could ask for, I hope you enjoyed dinner:)

EXMark and Encore started as one company. Two guys split up and each took a name. Still Built very similar mowers. Not sure if they still are so similar. 20 years ago I bought a new Encore. Loved it. Great ride. No aching back. Beautiful cut.

[@matthewsims359]

i split wood for about 2hrs this morning(the wold ridge would have came in handy) and didnt really even break a sweat. it was the perfect morning here in c. ky. tomorrow i have about 30 more mins of splitting and then haul it from the farm to the house and get it stacked. it is 2 more weeks until bow season in ky. have you been seeing any nice bucks on the riolink. yal enjoy dinner and HAVE A DAY👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TonyGeneseo]

Driveway. 3 options. : pave it if u want it flat to the top of the hill. Or keep chasing your tail with washouts if u want it flat. Or crown it and pack the snot out of it and dig a ditch on each side lined with fabric/ weed block or whatever it’s called in PA and put rip rap in it. But pavement or concrete depending on frost is the best long term fix. Again my 2 cents

[@Manof2boyz]

10:15 screen shot moment, Beautiful pic.....sun, trees and of course firewood!!!

[@stevemartinez6757]

I can't wait until it cools down some here in North Florida. Still battling 90 degree temps and high humidity. We won't "cool down" until the end of September and into October. Being out in the woods is certainly nice though. Great scenery, wildlife and fresh air, and most importantly peace and quiet.

[@547Rick]

Now I don't do this very often but I have a very serious wife question to you Mike. Is Melissia like most women when they come back from shopping. Does she always tell you how much she saved and not how much she spent?

[@hc7190]

Does that ever ring a bell , was on sale

[@ronwood7040]

Or the statement when you find a item hanging in the closet with tags still on, Is that new? that old thing, I have had it a long time.

Best mower you will ever own ..............................................

[@michaelharmon551]

Mike, I have to say Amen because it was super nice down here too. I got on my Kubota and done a little of trail maintenance myself and luckly all good. But that was my excuse to be out in this cooler weather. 68 is a lot better than 88 here. When it's gets this cool that makes me to look forward to the Fall that much more. Fall is my favorite season and sometimes it gets really pretty here with all the Fall colors. I can't wait to Fall to come because it not being so hot I tend to stay out a wee bit more. I like it, simply like cooler evenings and mornings. I still am pulling for Melissa. I still think she will score big and that sly fox scores nothing. I like to see that rascal in that cage / trap. I'd say, Ah Ha! Fox your scored nothing and Melissa scored big. The joke is on you Mr. sly fox. Yes, when schools start back, it seems it's not long before things to cool down and thngs as that. I'm looking forward to Fall. I enjoy being outside. No bones about it. beautiful cool weather coming on, and sunsets, oh yeah i love to go out to my favorite places and watch the sunset reminding me this day is gone and a new day is over the horizon. One day at a time and I enjoy each minute of them too. Your mini cabin is looking good too. And your trails. About that fox : Melissa - 1 Fox - 0 God bless, Michael from the High Country of NW North Carolina

[@stevenshelley9345]

Did you ever finish the mini cabin ? You show lots of videos of all your machines log cutters etc.but did you ever finish the mini cabin ?

[@BirdYoumans]

Love your vids! Some slow pans on a tripod would look great in those woods. Just found you so you may already do some of that, but those woods are great! I live in the Appalachians and we have beautiful terrain as well.

[@williammatthews2948]

The deer don't pay much attention to you when you're in the woods because you don't harass them. On the other hand, the fox is probably somewhere here in Central Kentucky by now. I'd love to see a video of Mike chasing the fox around the yard. The image cracks me up. Have a blessed weekend.

[@eddesanctis8041]

Had to laugh. “Date night”. “Hour from our bed time!” My wife and I are the same way!! We have a great idea about a night out and are so wiped out we end up back home by 9pm! Still fun though!

Mike, at @9:00 you show releasing the bucket from the loader and picking up the pallet fork--all from within the cab, like one can in a skidsteer. What, what?! :-) Does the rk55 have automatic control of the quick attach arms? I looked on the rk55 site and don't see indication of that. That would be sweet.

Hey there Mike and Melissa,good video. Everything is looking good around there. Love the peacefulness out in the woods. Maybe a pizza and some coolers and a cozy fire in the woods instead of the same old place? Tell the rest of the family hello too and today was BK DAY for Hunter hope he enjoyed it as usual.

[@georgecharokee4570]

Another Great Vlog !!! That RK55 is by far my Favorite of your Collections of Tractors, Second would be the RK24. I could do alot of small Side Jobs with the RK24 tho. Mike's goto is the RK37. Don't think the Front Loader lifting Capacity is Comparable to the RK55 for lifting those IBC Totes around. As Always, a Pleasure having the Beautiful One in the Vlogs, Careful NOT to ruin those nice white sneakers while shoveling dirt. Hey, enjoy your Date Night, Looks like Mike's Romantic Side for you came down today, I know it"s in Him, LOl. Have Fun, Be Safe Guys !!! Hey, Big Buddy Hunter, hope it was a BK kind of Day !!! #poolformelissa #thatmelissasmile

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

Don't get too cocky with the Exmark on the hills. The outcome may come back to bite you. Also, put up the ROPS when operating on sloping terrain. Safety first.... The major problem with ZTR on hills is loosing traction and the machine starting to slide sideways. The downhill wheel, when sliding across the terrain, can catch something to slow/stop the sliding, leaving the machine vulnerable to rollover. Once it starts sliding, you have moved from operator to passenger.

[@jeffkennedy8938]

[@95SLE]

Exmark are decent mowers. The Lazer Z is a great mower. A lot of the mower is in the cutting deck and how it moves across uneven surfaces in the lawn. BTY Exmark has a sale going on right now till October. My son is bugging me for one already. He uses an Exmark Commercial 30., If you return the mower to your dealer I might want to purchase it if the price is right. I live 4 and a half hours away.

Hi Bob here, another beautiful Saturday afternoon in S/E Wisconsin. Chris and daughter Lilli finished staining the upper deck and bridge, Chris did the laundry and hung it out. I cut 5 plus acres on the hustler, did some trimming with the weed walker and finished up cutting some ash logs. Have you ever tried some traffic bond on the driveway? Sounds like you have your favorite restaurants and you stick with them. Chris often says I never eat out side my box. Burgers, Mexican, Chinesse and leftovers. Why break up a good routine

Hey Mike, Joe here, you might want to put a couple of water bars on your driveway coming up to the house. Just a thought. They work well!

I loved the short video on facebook on Hunter and his sister going for a walk in the woods. Hunter you are full of surprises.

[@scottbennett6494]

watching Melissa pick up around the work site is like most of us why make multiple trips when you can save your energy for something else and make one trip do. cutting around the deer feeder would have got dizzy by going round and round ( looks good ). could you use loader and box plane on hard to cut hill ?

[@TonyGeneseo]

First. Thanks for the vid ! Second exmark is good. Toro is better although very similar. I’m a landscaper up here in Maine. Flatter drive tires of any kind are better rather than the new rounded type. And no weights for bagging is the key if just mowing and not bagging. Most newer brand mowers add several hundred pounds to the front frame to offset the bagger system cause that is also several hundred pounds when the bags are full of wet grass to prevent wheelies and roll over situations. I think they feel it makes their company look bettter when they have to use less actual weights but in reality the more weight in front with a solid frame zero turn it’s actually taking weight from the drive tires. True words. Just my 2 cents worth of 20++++ years experience with these beasts. Hope it helps.

If you start in the middle and mow in a circle it is faster because you never stop until you reach the outside edge.

I've got the same one only a few years older. And yes the handle steep slopes better, I was told by my Toro dealer which I've got one also that the center of gravity is real low on the exmark. I run a 60" Toro and exmark. They both handle the slopes but the exmark is better. My Toro is almost 600 pounds heavier which could be some of it.

Okay, I’ll comment once on the thumbs-down rating folks on KZbin. I rated this excellent video a thumbs-up (tu). If I view a channel that I don’t care for, I note the name of party that made it and view something else. PERIOD. I don’t need to be mean and rate it a thumbs-down. That’s just being petty. I just go and view something else, for pity sakes. I sincerely doubt the validity always seeing a few tds verses the thousands of tus that the Morgan’s consistently get. There may be a small part of one of their videos that isn’t applicable to my interest, but I usually watch it and enjoy and often learn something new from it. In that light, l doubt the validity or purpose of the thumbs-down at all. If you don’t like it go away and spend your time elsewhere. Don’t share your negative, mean or vengeful attitude somewhere else. Mike, you guys provide a valued and appreciated service to your followers at little expense (our time to watch) to us and great expense to y’all. Thanks from the bottom of my heart all you thoughtful efforts! You add value to my day with every video you make. Thanks do, and folks like you. Have a dat, y’all.
