Melissa is a happy face. She likes projects and encourages Mike to succeed. Thanks for posting.

[@funkybayatPK]

Murphy Tractor - no 100k, but I backed out of buying approx 90 acres in South OK 6-months ago as it was so thick, I figured it would take me 10-years of chainsawing, winching, and pushing into burn piles to clear fence lines and some crossing trails.....M&M have certainly edumicated (yes it’s spelt right) thx to you and that beast......thank you all for removing my fear of buying thick growth land.

[@jeffreyplum5259]

More great work, grooming your forest. Melissa, running through the woods was the picture of athletic elegance. She reminded me of Diana Riggs, in the old Avengers TV shows. A lady, a knock-out, and fully capable of dealing with any problem in trousers. The spirit, brains, and strength, she displays in in ordinary situations. They certainly can be put to other uses, in difficult ones. Melissa and the other Morgan ladies add a unique element to the channel. Thank you all.

[@theworshiptraveler6709]

Good morning Morgan Family. Now that's a perfect machine for Ms. Melissa to operate. If she can't back it up, MOW IT DOWN IN FRONT OF YOU. Like folks said Mr. Mike, you are having waaaaaay to much fun, and I am so happy watching you have that fun. Thanks for keeping everyone safe around that Tasmanian Devel. SMART MAN!

[@billwilson7154]

I watch most if not all of your posts and I love them. In one of your trail mulching videos you mentioned peoples negative comments about your clearing. I live out West where wild fires are awful. These wild fires can all be blamed on environmentalism and their demands that the forest be left alone. I personally believe in keeping the undergrowth mowed down and I have never found that wildlife left the area. My personal opinion (unsolicited as it is) would be that you should go in there and mulch all the undergrowth. Please keep the videos coming.

[@kirbyvanduzer6565]

That looks like a lot of fun

[@allenpelletier6759]

ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE MELISSA IN THE VIDEOS. HER SMILE LIGHTS UP THE WHOLE PLACE.

[@robertrogers4357]

Me TO

[@robertpowell2746]

That's just wonderful Melissa this machine has super bright lights now Mike can cut brush right up until bedtime.

[@wyattearp1418]

Good Morning or feels like afternoon. Hope all is well !!

[@randycarpenter2914]

Great machine for clearing brush out. Thanks for sharing and hope we see Hunter again soon. Be safe around machines they do not give a second chance.

[@bbrown5887]

Randy Carpenter great point and even more so with skid steer’s. Given their smaller stature compared to bigger equipment people ofter underestimate the risks associated. I own one and treat it’s risk’s like all other machinery.

[@gungadinn]

A couple of suggestion for running the mulcher. Throttle up. The mulcher need flow that comes from engine RPM. Secondly, tilt the mulching head back close to 30 degrees, then lower the head into the tree. This will inflect the maximum energy into the tree and keeps you from having to move. Keep up with the videos.

[@johnlayne5485]

That thing is just a beast of a machine cool

[@jackmacdonald9568]

I think a sign like they had on MASH would look nice at your intersection in the woods 👍

[@44warlord41]

This is a great idea, i will use it on my trails. Now I want to watch all the MASH episodes again.

[@tcf436]

That is one mean machine and great video that shows it in real world use.

[@bobgutman9691]

Absolutely agree to name your property areas. Creates some good folklore.

[@douglashingsbergen4304]

We have names for various areas on our property as well as for the trails and different blinds and tree stands- cedar crest, misery hill, big rack, etc. as a matter of safety. Knowing where you are and having the ability to convey that to somebody who knows the layout of the land is helpful if you have a problem or need help dragging a big buck. I also have reflective thumb tacks along the trails every ten yards or so because it gets really dark in the woods and some areas can be a bit confusing for visiting hunting buddys once the sun goes down. I suspect that Ty's trail to the brick house will soon become your most traveled trail in the near future.

[@patronsaint476]

I love your videos. Great family and just love how you banter/adore Melissa through the eye of the camera. That’s a man that loves his woman. Great to see.

[@bradleyschlei2916]

Sorry Melissa, I vote for calling the lower loop....Maple Grove! Has a nice ring to it that is easy to remember! Love the video and the catchy tune. Gets me motivated to complete my own projects! Just put up a shed, built a deck off my retaining wall overlooking the marsh and still have to cut down all the plants in the flower beds! Multi-tasking! Thanks and hope you had a great birthday! P.S. Nice skid steer birthday present!

[@abbaconstruction4535]

Very cool machine.

[@kennethtibbitts6641]

THANKS FOR UPDATE ON BRICK HOUSE, GLAD IT`S BEING USED

[@markjones4090]

What a machine that is, you look like you have been driving one for years. A signpost sounds like a great idea, maybe you could add distance to each location. It's great that Levi, Kate and Ty can live independent on the family property.

[@Defenze]

I really enjoy all the big yellow toys and Mike talking about stuff, but when Melissa show's up all that stuff stops and I can't seem to breath very well. She is just WOW. And the dogs are great too. What's their names again? Ruger, Piper, and ? Oh well. Seriously , I do enjoy these vids. Everything about them just fascinates me. I will be honest to admit a large amount of envy for all the land you seem to have and your ability to work it so well. God bless you all and please continue the videos.

[@jimellenor1607]

Wish I had one of those machines right now , I'm clearing my trails by hand, slow process. That forestry machine does a good job and fast, and also cleans up the brush, no brush piles, thats great.

[@davidmoran1422]

You guys have a beautiful piece of property. Congrats.

[@hardymarshfarm7843]

yup i need one of those for like a week or so.. very cool.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂 if i get my hands on one of those, i'm starting another business...or i should say, starting a new division to my business...

[@mattgerlach6688]

I used to work there, great company with great products. The boom saw was always my favorite.

[@lloyddahlen1141]

Thanks Mike for sharing your info on the machine really nice of you 👍🇺🇸

[@larryhearell9580]

I have a Diamond Cutter for my Cat 307 Ell. Does a great job on fence rows ditch and pond banks. Do a lot of food plots and shooting lanes for deer hunters.

[@danielingle7117]

Dang, gotta get one of those. That's awesome!

[@jonathanjdas]

Whats next, a Ponsee Scorpion King harvester? Could clear it all and get enough firewood to see you out! The Squirrels must love you!

[@russellbowman8051]

That wicked Beast Really does Some Incredible Work inA Short Time!!👍👊

[@patrickwheatley6156]

that's a nice skid

[@matthewsims359]

WOW, that thing is a beast. Say hey to the family and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@craigunwin8483]

Great video Mike that is quite the machine. Stay safe. Hi Hunter.

[@thomasbrighton6159]

Mike you’re having to much fun! That rig is certainly well designed the headlight system looks like it makes night work easy!

[@bbrown5887]

Thomas Brighton I completely agree. I own an older 2006 skid steere that doesn’t have the upgraded led lighting. It’s ok but dismal in comparison to this. I have new led lights I’ll install soon and it’s sure to make a world of difference.

[@jamesrichardson5162]

This post has been very useful thank you

[@mer957]

The light package is nice for being able extend your work day!

[@piledriver141]

That cutter is really nice

[@jeffreyyeip1915]

I think Murphy Tractor got their money's worth by letting you use that machine. Better than a commercial and a lot cheaper too. If I had the property and the money I would buy one. It's an amazing machine. Your trails remind me of a friends family property. He had trails all through it. We would ride his Ranger around it. In the spring the water would be over the floorboards on a large section of the property. In the fall we wou5take my old pickup truck out there and cut firewood. I sure miss those days.

[@billyladner3062]

Just remember Melissa. The bigger the boy the bigger the toy. We have tree farms in Mississippi and they use these to keep lanes free of brush especially invasive plants

[@johnsuch2707]

That thing is plain sic !!!! Be safe out there and God Bless

[@2020Tundra]

Hey Mike, I really like the name Maple Grove for that beautiful area!! Awesome piece of machinery, too. Thanks for sharing!

[@pauldusett4780]

Thanks for the update on the brick house. Nice to keep family close and know with the grandbaby your just a ranger ride away....lol

[@smoke09able]

Beautiful property! That machine is something else!

[@lonniejohnson862]

I just want to come to your place and play with all your equipment. You have all the cool toys

[@stevemartinez6757]

I said it before after your last video and I'll say it again. I can get a lot accomplished with one of those in about a week on our property!

[@wyattearp1418]

Good Morning Morgan’s Happy Belated 🎂 Mike !

[@tudorwynphillips6458]

Absolutely fabulous piece of kit, great job Mike. Hi Hunter and greetings from North Wales 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@RDavies126746]

Back when I went hunting with my father we had an aerial photo of the property and all the trails drawn in . Everything was named (Planted Pines, Rooneys Field, Orchard, Basin, ...est) so we knew where everyone else was and for those new to the area was easy to learn. Should be easier with modern GPS systems and online satellite maps.

[@dackerson5]

I have used a drum style grinder... I actually like that better . It seems to clear everything in its path and leave a clean, clear path.. free of the debris you grind up.... I heard it was coming to upstate NY and getting dropped off at my garage! Thanks Mike and Melissa.... Great video!

[@Z-Bart]

Cool trail system. That machine is an absolute beast. 👍

[@bobpurs]

Nice work. Makes trail making fun 👍

[@dmorgan28]

That is one awesome working machine. I enjoyed the video. 👍👍👍❤️

[@bobfuchs3627]

Michael you're becoming the Norm Abrams of the outdoors. If there's a power tool you'll get it. Please don't cut to many trails or you wouldn't have any forest left, only kidding. It's great to see a man living his dream

[@Elfin4]

That machine is a beast.

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

Good video, love watching the machines operate.

[@bassproable]

Thanks for sharing. That thing is a beast. Maple Grove for sure.

[@chrisspence3216]

I have the next step down from that Disc Mulching machine . I Do weed abatement and land clearing but is all very tall 10’ or more weeds , also overgrown giant bushes ya can’t even walk through and in no time at all. Crazy what ya can do with a CTL. I have a Takeuchi TL 10 and love it Have a Day

[@majcorbin]

So thrilled this video showed up just as I brewed up my second cup of coffee for my hermit bachelor morning.

[@outbackorchard8224]

I love the way you can put a tree to the right side and it just sucks it in like a chipper.

[@richardhutchings921]

46* in the NW corner of Florida this am. I Love it.

[@see207]

doing great

[@theoisaac9948]

Beautiful day

[@avenheavner108]

Loved the video guys! Great one as always. I’m going to have to come out and meet you guys one day! Until then have a good one.

[@OGNaybkorhkood6067]

Whoa 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chris3m98]

Darn, had to put on my ear plugs!!!!!!!!! back up alarm works

[@DBlank72]

Lean the cutter forward when you are cutting the trees. The bar needs to be putting pressure on the trunk to ensure the tree doesn't fall backwards.

[@theenginehousegarage1485]

Thanks for the update on the brick house! I had been wondering what happened with/to it over the last few months :) Keep up the good work!

[@bengiegilbert6528]

Thanks for sharing Mike.Brings back memories of my younger days that I spent in the woods.Tell Hunter hello an you be safe.God Bless.ps.Roll Tide

[@robertironside3166]

Just awesome. Be fun to have this machine in a video game simulator sort of plow through the woods in search of Zombie trees and such lol Zombie trees do make good lumber after all :-))

[@read1kings18]

A cleared pathway along each of the borders of your property would likely prove very useful to you. It would help define the boundaries to anyone who might be walking through. I have started this with my own wooded lot but I could use a machine like the John Deere 333G.

[@carmineiadeluca935]

Love the trails. 👍 good job Mike ! Great idea about the directional signs at the intersection. Don't forget Home Sweet Home & Melissa's Place ❤ 🇺🇸

[@briancrytzer9039]

Hi mike and Melissa. Have been a loyal viewer from day one. Just never really got into the comments. Wonderful channel. I've learned so many things from your channel and look forward to each new video. I live near kittanning, Pa. about an hour from you guys. Keep up the good work!

[@jeffhartmann2469]

Gorgeous woods. It would definitely be my sanctuary.

[@Dagwood484]

Hello Morgan family. Maple line sounds about right.

[@judithfairchild8620]

I was wondering if you had gotten another piece of equipment. It does a great job of clearing up dead wood, trail blockers.

[@starnet36]

Mike, I envy your situation: rural area, beautiful trees and you own the land free & clear [I assume].

[@fredhutchins2229]

that thing is awesome.

[@deanbarr5740]

I really enjoyed this. That thing is like a "cyclone" it'll clear anything in its path.

[@chevyman7293]

Are you making a trail to ride ATV'S And 4 wheelers for you all or anyone?

[@dawgfather2101]

You definitely married above your station my friend!

[@henryhumada2087]

Wow thats an impressive piece of equipment you have there. I think I would have a hard time not getting carried away and mowing down everthing I sight lol. 😁

[@barry4134]

I want one!

[@pulaski1]

The end of that video looks like it does when I tell my wife I came in from the yard/ woods because it has started to get dark. :)

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Wow that machine is a beast!

[@xcryerkes]

That is a wild machine...Bet you hated giving it back. And just a side Note Melissa You are adorable. Lucky guy

[@robertkennedy3632]

Hey Mike & Melissa

[@evankibbe590]

That's one cool machine. 😊💝👍👍👍👍

[@rogermccann7627]

Ty needs a trail to ride his ATV over to see Grandma and Grandpa....good thinking....LOL

[@bbrown5887]

Great machinery and video. Given the comments/interest in stump height left behind etc, it might be an idea for a follow up video. I own a medium size skid steer and have a stump bucket attachement with a grapple. It works awesome when used as intended and can remove some impressive stumps. Just an option from the various cutters and grinders.

[@deanehill9730]

That thing is a monster, chews it up and spits it out. Thanks.

[@dddriller1]

mike and his toys oh boy weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

[@redeyetrucker520]

Something tells me you won't be seeing too many Whitetail this year, with all that racket you're probably running them off lol.

[@NeedsMoreToys]

I had this exact same machine clear a couple of acres of Russian olive on my property Nov 1. We had our best year hunting so far on Nov 15. Michigan. Deer didn’t mind at all. I had them on cameras in the cleared areas 2 hrs after the machine left.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I was running it tonight and 4 watching me at 75 yards, it's amazing. How do they know? Are they just curious? Heck if you are hunting and step on a twig their gone lol

[@johnsutherlin5086]

Wow that thing is a monster! God Bless.

[@delray06]

Hey Mike enjoying your channel such a lovely part of America, was wondering with all that timber around and up close to your home wether fire is something you guys contend with, here in Australia that very issue comes up each summer as would no doubt see on the news what’s happening here at the moment

[@NewtonWashinton]

Mike mows through a forest like the rest of us mowing our yard. Yeah that's one mean machine.

[@RyanBrewington]

With all those maple trees you should start doing maple syrup. Its great fun. Something to keep you busy in the early spring.

[@FLEETWOODFLYERS]

Agreat piece of equiptment indeed .The stumps left in the ground will there be any growth from them in the future PLUS WILL YOU BE MARKING THE TRAILS

[@waltermattson5566]

What a machine!

[@oldmanfred8676]

They should have used one of those in Fargo!!! Love the stump feature!!! Navy is your color Stephanie!

[@wbel82]

Mike you lucky damn

[@isaacsoutdooradventures776]

That is really awesome I talked to those guys at the Paul Bunyan show and would really like to have one of them

[@isaacsoutdooradventures776]

The skid steers not the people 😂
