Good job Melissa! It's amazing how fast those weeds and trees grow up with just a few sunny warm days.

[@danrolfe1436]

Great job Mike & Melissa, can't wait to see both tractors working together.

[@williammatthews2948]

That looked like fun. Stay healthy and have a blessed and safe week.

[@pauldodge9118]

Great job Melissa, happy you are looking for the fawns prior to brush hogging. Found our twins over the weekend, momma doe was snorting up a storm before I knew where she had them bedded down.

[@bernhardbohlig6054]

Good Morning to the Morgans Clan from Germany. Nice setup for brushhogging Have a day.

[@4wheelliving132]

At my old house I had trails through the woods and I know exactly what Melissa means about collecting your thoughts while out there cutting it. Always was my favorite part of my lawn to cut

[@er1073]

Another enjoyable video brought to us my the Morgans. Thank you for sharing your video with us. Hello Hunter. Ed

[@DFox-ud3gx]

Good afternoon here I've been working with my new puppie in the morning he's a 8 week old Neapolitan Mastiff. We lost our ole English Mastiff. Love this show and watching here for new ideas from you guys.Your the reason why we got another pup too.

[@chrispileski6640]

Great video again. A couple weeks ago I bent the Township sign down with the loader. I was looking back taking out some brush, and forgot to look at the loader, lol. It's easy to do. Great teaching and great first time Melissa.

[@davedowding5883]

Another refreshing video from the Morgans. Melissa runs the equipment like A Pro!

[@matthewsims359]

Good job Melissa. You look like a natural. Just be careful, trouble can arise in an instant. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jeffreylane6098]

Right tool for the right job!! Looks and works great!! Nice job M&M !!

[@lucleoni]

Melissa rock's, she did well for being the first time. Enjoy your life guys.

[@loyd2264]

Good morning Mr and Mrs Morgan. Great teacher and even a better student on the hedge hogging Well done Mellisa! 👍😎🐶❤️🙏

[@johnsadler8637]

You had a lot more fun than I have been having the last several days. Brush hogging is somehow more satisfying than cleaning out, cleaning up, and painting the garage! 😀

[@larryiowatexasrooster9317]

Melissa, super job on the BX and mowing! What I see is the timber becoming a park! The BX is a sweet package, a canopy would be good to protect Melissa from falling limbs. Melissa have fun and be careful👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@HallnoutMhall]

Morning Morgan's!! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Perfect setup with the tractor and bush hog. Tell the family hello from Sunny Northern Indiana. Have a day!!

[@patchitwood7428]

Greetings from Central KY. Thanks for your awesome videos. The brush hog looks like a perfect match for the tractor. My one suggestion would be to lengthen your top link significantly to put more weight on the rear wheel of the brush hog. That way it will keep a consistent mowing height when you drive over undulations of the ground. I usually set my top link when brush hogging so that the rear wheel only comes up off the ground 4-6 inches when in the transport position. It seems to make for a little more consistent cut. In fact, my grandpa always used a chain instead of a top link when brush hogging to allow the deck to flex on hills. The way he did it, the chain for the top link would allow you to lift the implement but apply no down force. Keep up the good work!

[@troymckinney5911]

Not sure why people give a thumbs down... These are wonderful people that like to do things themselves. Keep up the great videos

[@vidabluebelford]

I agree Troy. Can't please some people no mater what you do. Just keep on keeping on Mike, Melissa and family.

[@utrockhound]

Mike could cure cancer in the next video and it would still get a few thumbs down. Some Internet people just don't have a soul.

[@danrolfe1436]

Some people just aren't happy unless they're miserable......

[@jdub229r]

Dan Rolfe misery loves company.... I don’t do thumbs down, just like a TV program, don’t like something, change the channel.

[@chrism9012]

maybe because the shaft cover is spinning with the shaft, still not worth a dislike though.

[@tylerstefancin3279]

Love the setup ! Can’t wait to see some more videos

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Another great display of quality time on quality equipment in the woods. Nice work.

[@MrTimJoseph]

Loving your videos - please keep them coming. Best wishes, Tim from Australia

[@jimmowers7675]

Good morning from Yukon. Great video. Have a great day. God Bless.

[@rickysafer2895]

The front loader is good to have on in tall grass to move things you want out of the way , that you don't want the mower driving up on. I always keep mine on , never take it off. The fawns are bedding down in our flower beds in the front acre, really enjoy seeing them here in Central Texas. Good training there Mike on the mower.

[@Mouse2677]

Melissa, you're a natural behind the wheel of the Kubota!!!

[@paulrice1918]

Melissa you did good on the brush hog. Just remember it will eat anything you go over except stumps and rocks I don't know if you went over any sticks or not but they usually make a real racket but no harm done. They are built tough. You did exactly right slow and steady. Love watching you learn new stuff.

[@michaelbrausch8874]

How can you not want to pick Archie up Michael? You know you’re an old softy at heart!🐶

[@smanjik]

Thanks for this. I just got one of these units and your comment about how "violent" these machines are when they start was a relief to hear. I thought I was doing something wrong but turns out the shaking was normal when I start up the BX.

[@davidmartin303]

Mike, your videos are always great. The production quality is constantly getting better. Its shows you spend a lot of time placing cameras for the best shot and are thinking of your placements in advance. Great job, Have a day!

[@dickhansen8594]

Good video. Good instruction on operating a dangerous unit. Thank you for sharing your day

[@andrewupham4713]

!!!! Mike and Melissa, I learned a HUGE lesson the first day I attached my little 48" landpride to my 2010 BX. I kept the FEL on, BUT FORGOT TO LOCK IT!!!!!!!! as I backed into some blackberry near a tree, the tree limb bumped the fell down, as I pulled forward I ended up catching the FEL in the ground. THANK GOD IT WAS SOFT CLAY. I did not damage anything, but it sure gave me a scare. So when the FEL is on, and you are not using it, keep it locked. Keep up the good work, and watch out for those bambies... I am putting off any more brush hogging till all our babies are grown. The Wild Turkey Polts can hang tight too, so too many wonderful little creatures to go through any thick stuff till July around here. Love the videos, keep up the good work.

[@mikeengler2203]

You have some fascinating machines that look like they would be fun to run now I'm going through Bush hog envy...waiting now for the next new attachment

[@ggs918]

Got my 23s from M&R and agree they did a great job with prep! Mine was greased well!

[@rickbell3402]

Great to see Melissa out on the tractor! Love that smile!

[@dondicey6528]

Control to Captain Melissa!! Yes it is daunting. All the noise, the bumps, the humming. With your muffs or ear plugs you'll get in tune and learn to recognize the various sounds and get the playlist for bushhogging. It is a learned exercise and practice makes perfect! Good job on your first run!. DD

[@neckbone3943]

I am so looking forward to teaching my wife how to operate this machine. The backhoe, loader, etc, she's going to love it!!

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

MIKE, Melissa's a good learner, pays attention, cause you're a good teacher and gives quizzes at the end! Makes yinz both safe ! Good stuff, thanks.

[@OldVermontGuy]

Greetings from No VT - That subcompact tractor BX 23S from Kubota is really versatile. Sort of like "Sherman" was. Very adaptable for a small property. Archie is definitely adapting to his new family setting.

[@nancyincanada5553]

Hey Morgans, you have the best music in your videos. Melissa you look classy in every video, even when driving a tractor!:) Thanks for the great video:)

[@DJinOcalaFla]

Way to go Melissa, good job! The backing up would get to me, but you make it look easy. :)

[@rickycowie7990]

Just bought one here recently and still waiting for the dealer to bring it to the house. Thanks for the video.

[@MannistoCay]

Morning folks, thanks for the video, I'm picking mine up this week. Snows almost gone up here at the Cay. Looking forward to 68°.

[@HometownAcres]

That brush hog almost gives you a finish mowed look. Awesome video

[@allenhenry1113]

Hello from Sardis City Alabama, great informative clip, Archie is really growing.

[@BiffsEquipment]

Great video guys! Glad your enjoying the new Kubota BX! 👍🏻

[@keithbeynon3878]

Archie is really cute, I need to get a quick hitch for my bx24. Great job on the trails Melissa.

[@ptyptypty3]

Your Camera angles are AMAZING!!.. Your Videos are so well planned and recorded.. Your Editing is Professional!! even though it wasn't done by professionals!!.. It would be nice if there was some kind of Awards Ceremony for the best Video series on KZbin ... You'd win Hands Down!

[@patrickcorbett8361]

You have her brush hogging in reverse waay to much , Going forward allows you to see what is going to be 'hogged' ....going backward is not the way Mel should be taught to drive...Im just saying...

[@paulpetro652]

I see you have a new Trail Boss Mike. 🤠 🚜 😊😁🤗

[@bobpurs]

Nice little tractor. It’s great Mellisa likes operating it. 👍

[@daved7024]

Land Pride is owned by Kubota. Good top quality implements. Nice job Melissa 👍😊

[@MacBailey]

From other channels I have seen some mentions of a potential problem of sticks coming into some spaces on the bottom side of the BX series and hitting some sort of cooling fan down there. I guess there are some after market guards available. One guy described it as a $9 fan blade but several hours of unbolting parts to get to it to repair. Just an FYI.

[@rickycook3774]

You did it like a pro Melissa.!!!

[@everydaylifewiththebensons285]

New T-Shirt idea...."Mike sez "Slow and Steady" !! Thanks for another great video...Charlie

[@lloydpainter1701]

That quick hitch is really slick. I spend 1/2 hour hooking up the rotary cutter.

[@halfwayfarmsandoutdoors3550]

I piece of advice from someone without a quick hitch---when hooking an implement up, always hook up the lowest pin first and then the higher pin.

[@barryespeseth7355]

Good job girl. Looks like fun.

[@jameskennerly9748]

Awesome job young Lady!

[@craigsudman4556]

Wow Melissa first you're the Chipper Chick and now you've progressed to the Brush Hog Chick, can't wait to see what's next in the Chick evolution of Melissa Morgan, Chick of the Woods!😎 Great video M&M, thumbs up.

[@paulkeller4889]

Love the tractor videos!!!! Hey Hunter.

[@gloriabradley9104]

Another great job 🙂🙃❤️🤗💜

[@davidmorse8432]

Maybe get a canopy for the little Kubota. Bushhogging around trees can shake loose dead limbs and bring them down on top of the operator. I welded a steel plate on my rops. It protects me very well and doesn't bend when contacting low hanging limbs like the tin ones the tractor companies sell. It also protects me from the sun and rain. I am thinking maybe Melissa should consider wearing a hard hat until Mike gets a canopy for the compact tractor. Safety is no accident!

[@marcuswhite3628]

Ditto

[@davidmorse8432]

@Raymond Wilson You are right about modification of safety devices like roll over structures and I am proud that you mentioned this. Most ROPS have been drilled to have a canopy bolted to it and this is the proper way to attach them. Good point!

[@rubenledozaronnehg5851]

excellent machine...and when Melissa operates it's doubly good...upload more videos to your channel please.

[@wilharding9395]

Howdy Morgans! Looks like Melissa is going to be logging some hours on the BX.... Keep those blades sharp Mike!

[@HayabusaOrlando]

What a beautiful piece of wooded property..... and wife !!!

[@Americancitizen1]

A Kubota BX tractor and Goldens??? Well. Goldens are amazing and so are Kubota tractors! That puppy is sooo cute! We have a 3 year old golden ( our 2nd..) and she is family. Thanks for sharing. 👍❤️

[@DaleDirt]

Great video , I love that little puppy , he looks like a little Bear .

[@jimmckenna8848]

What is so rare as a day in June! Happy June Day!!!!

[@TheBetterEnding]

Mike, you are one lucky guy. All that beauty and can run a brush hog too!

[@robertrousseau5264]

As always Melissa's is doing a great job in all she does keeps very thing going smoothly and still get out on the trails. You have a great wife she needs her POOL and you would love it to . HAVE A DAY BOB

[@bigbigby4657]

Mike is right about the "swing out", just be careful and mindful of the "swing out" of the front loader too, if totally focused in backing up looking behind you one will smack that front bucket on a tree or something when turning and not watching... lol... been there, done that!... Good job Mel!☺

[@stevemitchell6821]

NC here, you guys are awesome.

[@thatoneguy9660]

Melissa is awesome. You're a lucky man Mike. I want one.

[@davidsande2342]

The Zen of mowing.

[@rickyroten2410]

Love the Kubota I have one myself

[@mikemcguire8351]

Nice set up. Melissa has the want, all she needs now is a little experience.

[@maxjones9139]

Nice property! Looks like my back yard! If you let the top link out a bit the brush hog wheel will stay on the ground. Great channel!

[@michaelmijatovich8983]

Great job Melissa I think that little kuboto should be yours why should Mike get all the cool toys. lol oh and talked to your daughter in law via comment and I think shes going to help me push for that new Stove. Lol And Stay safe Morgans

[@briankleinkopf8557]

Melissa looks happy... Happy Wife = Happy Life Mike... better give her that pool... dont be a fool....Blessed Be Morgans…. Respects, Brian - Nor Cal

[@rdeanbenson217]

Morning Morgan's! refreshing to see you all using an AFFORDABLE tractor on your site and one that is scaled to your operation. So many of these channels use oversize/overpriced tractors that just aren't realistic. I've been managing my 3 acre lot with a 520H Toro Wheel Horse for 30 years ; mowing/rototilling/snow blowing. Looking at a Cal Ranch 16HP Kohler Diesel-powered garden tractor

[@nickjm37fordel1]

Melissa, fantastic job :-))

[@brianr1812]

Keep posting the BX content!

[@michaelanthony5335]

Beautiful machine

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I have the land pride 60 inch rear finish mower for my B2601, but I’d also like a “brush hog” rotary mower - and maybe a flail mower too. They all serve a purpose!

[@michaelmactavish1728]

i have 2. kubota vacs 1. kubota dolly that carries 360lbs, 1. kubota 24'' toolbox, 1.kubota storage bins 2.kubota hammers, 2. 24piece kubota screwdriver kit, 1. kubota hand pruners, 1. kubota mower deck scraper and now planing on getting a 11,000 watt kubota diesel generator

[@evilbrat5376]

Do believe there is going to be a time when it is going to be "Tractor Time With Melissa" OR "Tractor Girl." Mike - teach her right and you can sit back and watch Melissa GO!. Have a great Day and be safe. . . . Archie is growing.

[@larrymoss1896]

Love the fact that Land Pride offers Kubota Orange color for the brush hog! Also, was wondering how Levi's maple sap collection effort went! As always, perfect job Melissa. Pie Town Larry

[@critical-thought]

Kubota bought LandPride. Pretty much all their stuff is matching colors now.

[@HuntrPat]

Good job 👍 brush hogging.

[@rohoroyarrington3224]

Nice job Melissa,. They do make a racket!

[@badcat4707]

Good morning Hunter ;-)

[@merlewarnsholz2094]

Mike & Melissa - Another winner. I like Thomas Desmond's digs, as I am pit crew for my wife who is still pretty fresh from the hospital. Nice job running the brush hog Melissa. Won't be long before you are out there working every day. I'm guessing as you were doing your pre-cut cleanup you came across a bunch of stuff that needs to be fed to the chipper. And I'm wondering if that might even work better - chipper first, then the brush hog (remember free advice is sometimes worth exactly what you paid for it). Blessings to you both, and to the family - Hi to Hunter.

[@rogerl8488]

I see you got a new golden!! Love it we lost our 12 year old 2 months ago an have 2 boys coming in 3 weeks be 8 weeks old!.. its killed us losin our 12 year old:(

[@thomashester739]

You may want to consider hard hat while brush hogging in the woods. I lost a good friend from a dead limb. But all that said love the videos and the new tractors.stay safe

[@marcuswhite3628]

I couldn’t help thinking the same thing after Mike spoke of dead limbs falling!!! PLEASE CONSIDER A HARD HAT if not a cage!

[@coypatton3160]

Mike for safety reasons, the PTO shield/cover should be tied off so it does not spin with the PTO shaft. The shield should also be greased on each end to allow the shaft to freely spin inside of the shield. That is the real purpose of those light weight chains and the loops at each end of the cover.

[@jimmyandkathyharrell]

It gets easier the more you use it. I love bush hogging!

[@claytonfflyte1742]

NICE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kellyhall8790]

A couple of things that will make brush hogging easier.1. leave the loader on the tractor but remove the bucket for better clearance.2. on tight turns raise the brush hog enough to get the tail wheel off of the ground, it will turn easier and put much less strain on the lift linkages.I have been doing this for many years with a 1979 Kubota B7100 and a Woods RCC42 brush hog.Enjoy your new toy, be careful, be smart, you will be amazed at what these little tractors can do.
