MELISSA GET THE KEYS AND START DIGGING FOR YOUR POOL

[@jackhume4532]

Don’t you just love all the engineers in the world 🗺, being thoughtful enough to develop and test all of there designs and then get them mass produced to help people with there projects like Mike Morgan’s new building and I for one ☝️ cannot wait to see this building built, all the best Mike and enjoy running your Kubota excervator .

[@louislarsen2256]

Operating excavators was always my favorite before I retired. The thumb is so handy for grabbing everything.

[@jboutdoors7019]

Mike when you dig, always put your tracks with you, and the blade in front of you, that will give you more pulling and digging power, and you won’t be tipping the machine so much.

[@froochie123]

not always the blade in front, what if he was pinning?

[@joeyoliver579]

Exactly

[@scottmcquarrie7295]

Whenever I'm digging and I need the visibility, like in the street or right situations, I always put the blade to the rear.

[@fivestring4653]

Second that

[@chrispileski6640]

These are my favorite type of videos, watching you run the heavy equipment and cut up trees! Nice work, can't wait to see the pond work.

[@Lazarus-xy4fr]

Hey Mike, I'm glad you changed excavator position to dig out that first stump. In sideways position you were really rockin' it.

[@Lasttruegrafters]

I go in flat with the ground and let the bucket use the ground as leverage with the teeth stuck in the stump, no matter how you’re sat in the machine all the weight is on the wrist of the bucket, maybe try it and see if you get what I mean

[@stewartbanks3663]

Morning Morgans! Have a coffee watching this morning and have to say you are a smooth operator in the Kubota X80 Mike very skilled with easy movements. Looking forward to seeing the progression. Have a day y’all! 👍😀

[@jamesoncross7494]

AWESOME!!!!! I can't wait to see you fix the pond. Great summer to do it because it's been so dry.

[@WindowGeek1]

Wow, Mike! What a nice machine. I’d love to see a detailed video of the inside features on it. It’s great just watching you work with it and seeing technique on how to do things. This is really exciting stuff!

[@terrycastor8299]

Wow, it is DRY, DRY, DRY in western PA! I was amazed at the dust! That is pretty amazing to take out a stump and fell a tree that size in 15 minutes. Impressive. All you needed to make it stupendous was Melissa! I hope Hunter gets his BK run today. Have a day!

[@merlewarnsholz2094]

Mike - Nice work with the excavator. I certainly didn't think you were going to use this beast to do tree removal, but it worked great, and once again your gentle touch on the controls is a joy to watch. Blessings to you, Melissa, and the family. Hi to Hunter, Hannah, and Eva.

[@lloydpainter1701]

OH MY! What I could accomplish with that machine........and a Mike to operate it! Great job Mike.

[@GriffithsFfestiniog]

Great piece of kit and made light work of those stumps. Really looking forward to watching all your jobs develop over the next month a good change of pace.

[@rockingkvideos3160]

I’ve been very happy with my 080, bought it for land clearing with a masticating head and shear. Building rock retaining walls is next so I’m looking for a grapple. For an 8 ton machine it is a hoss,

[@Ariiannaclp]

Wow this machine does the trick, would love to see the inside and how it works too, thanks Mike!

[@stephengmeiner3264]

Absolutely! I’d love a tour of that machine. I could watch that kind of work all day.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

if you bought that model here at my dealer hes selling the kx080-4 for $50,100

[@jjm4794]

Michael Mac Tavish No he’s not lol

[@michaelmactavish1728]

@@jjm4794 the kx080 is huge but in the feature there gonna be coming out with full size units even the loader and backhoes

[@tonygough8713]

Good job running the excavator Mike, I would enjoy seeing the function and controls. Thank you for your videos. And yea, let’s dig Chris is the best heavy equipment operator I have seen.

[@ChaseLandMgmt]

Awesome unit! I’ve been impressed with kubota mini excavators for many, many years. Their line of equipment seems to improve every year at that. I purchased a used kubota M59 TLB to maintain my property and it’s been a great purchase thus far.

[@terrymangum3914]

Wow!!! That is one powerful machine. Made the stump removal look easy not to mention taking the tree down. Really enjoyed this video.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Morning from Illinois Mike. That kubota makes easy work of the tree removal. Can’t wait to see the building project evolve!

[@larryharding7772]

Can't wait for this series. Going to love every minute of it!

[@ebony5766]

Oooooh! I really liked being in the cab with you while you did that! I have always wanted to driven a big piece of equipment like that, and that was so cool! This will be an amazing series of vids! Can't wait!!!

[@gusswenson7811]

Good morning Morgan's. Great video.. I love watching a good operator work with equipment. Make it look like the equipment is just a extension of there hands. Keep up the great videos. Have a day. Always be kind.

[@wyattearp1418]

Love watching you operate it, would love to see a review of the inside. Thanks for sharing!

[@tommyordoyne7461]

The perfect tool to dig a pool. Excavator control video please. Have a productive day.

[@thomaslandry403]

Looks like fun, looking forward to watching the build

[@orangetractorguy8201]

Great machine there Mike. It would be awesome to see an in-depth tour of the interior. Love to see an explanation of the multiple controls that you manipulate in a seemingly effortless manner!

[@terrylandis6831]

Oh my Mike. Your gonna have lots of fun now!! Enjoy!

[@roblong6518]

Awesome machine! Amazing how much work can get done with one this size, especially with the hydraulic thumb. 👍

[@joelongrid7625]

Nice work. That is a big mini for sure, love the 4 way blade.

[@jamiebonjour1325]

I got to meet you and Chris from let'sdig at Paul Bunyan that year also. I was working the Wolfe Ridge booth.

[@derrick8808]

I would like a tour of the machine! It must be a lot of fun to run that thing, I’m very excited and happy for you and the build of you building! I can’t wait to get started on my shop, it’s been a dream for a while and I’m really looking forward to it happening soon!

[@HiddenHeightsFarm]

That's an awesome machine! Makes quick work of those trees.

[@timjames8503]

Excellent video as always!! On the farm where I deer hunt, I get to play with 2 excavators. The power of those machines is always beyond my expectations, and give me WOOD every single time I need to do something with them!!

[@Vega02flaco]

This is a nice machine we are using one of those little excavator they are so handy.

[@kwantao69]

Mike, that thing is a beast and amazingly quiet inside the cab.. This is gonna be fun and yes, would love to see how the controls work.

[@dickhansen8594]

Nice. Sweet machine. Thank you for sharing with us

[@thehawkc]

Nice smooth machine. You always make it look easy.

[@dennisirvine1649]

Love what your doing. Love watching it, it makes me feel like I am there

[@tommyweeks8289]

Man I need that machine here at my Farm for a long weekend of Fun! Great seeing this plan start coming together.

[@petebeaven]

Great piece of kit. Really enjoy seeing at work. Thanks Mike.

[@KindCreature1]

That was way cool! Thanks Mike.

[@richardratcliffe2940]

Great love to see full video on this machine

[@mikekeil5070]

That was awesome. Would love to see a walk around on that machine!

[@eddieforce3550]

That looks like so much fun.

[@robertulman9239]

Great piece of equipment there Mike...have fun operating that excavator...take care and GOD BLESS your whole family.

[@deanehill9730]

Great machine and does the job easily. Be nice for you to show us around the cab internals. Thanks.

[@bonnie8441]

Nice work Mike.Great video.Thoughtful and methodical.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

When I watch Mike use machinery like this, it takes me back to my childhood...... I can remember walking around the town where I grew up with other young boys hoping to see some kind of construction work being done. Once we found it, we would plant ourselves and just watch the guys dig holes, demolish things, etc! What a dream! Mike, when I grow up I want to be just like you! 😂😂💪💪

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

lol

[@garycrumrine9538]

It is funny, I did the same thing in Illinois. I started taking a jug of coolaid to an excavator working in our neighborhood digging basements and laying water pipe. Eventually I ended up riding in the big equipment, pulling levers etc. All the other kids were jealous. What a blast. I held the stick when he shot levels etc too. A kids dream.

[@Mitalayeka]

Yes Mike, i would like to see the inside and features of what this toy has, this looks like fun and at the same time getting work done, thanks for sharing guys.

[@billfenner7084]

I am glad to see that are using the Kubota excavator!

[@chipwoods8323]

That machine is sick! Made fast work of those stumps. 👍🏼

[@billmorris2613]

Yes, I would like to see a video of the inside of the cab and how everything works.

[@Comp670]

I rented an excavator about the same size a month ago to remove 14 huge stumps. Each one took 20 to 30 min to get out, the were old growth fir with huge roots. Was a really fun day! Saved a huge amount of time, I have a kubota but its too small for this type of work. The rental was well worth the cost.

[@keithbeynon3878]

The right equipment sure makes the job easy great video. I was surprised how quiet it was in the cab. Looking forward to seeing it in action more. I have used my bx24 to dig out stumps it does the job just takes a little bit longer it is all about great seat time. 🙂

[@64eski]

I can't watch this channel anymore. I'm so jealous I can't see straight. Love that machine and all you're doing.

[@Lasttruegrafters]

I drive this thing daily, great machine, user friendly and loads of power, my boss purchased this and a 5.5 tonne Kubota brand new, quality excavators just no heated seat!

[@norrisdabney4298]

So relaxing watching this. Tat machine does quick work of it

[@izzypisatx]

Yes please on the interior cab and controls video. Keep on rocking Morgans.

[@TheShaunpk1]

Every one should have an excavator.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good morning Mike, what a great way to start the day !!👍👍 That is one great machine you have rented and you’re doing a great job on it. Your operator skills are fantastic. You’ll definitely get lots done around there in a good fashion if your weather stays good for you. Would like to see more about the kx80-4 SS2 excavators operations so please do a video of it. Thanks for sharing with us and tell everyone hello. Fred.

[@oldmanfred8676]

That stump removal looks a lot easier than my Shovel, Axe and Mattock method! You folks need some rain!!!

[@Thesimplehomeowner]

Love to see you and Chris from lets dig collaborate on your pond, that would be a great video

[@troyr57]

Agreed, but I could see Chris's influence on Mike's work here. I just recently Met Mike, and hope to Meet Chris of Lettsdig18 at some point in the future.

[@pedintx]

I would enjoy and find a detailed video of the excavator very useful . Thanks for this great video. I have run a mini excavator, amazing machines. Paul from Texas

[@HighwayEquipmentCo]

Thanks for the shout out =) Love that KX080 and love the video - looking forward to the next one!

[@Meister1551]

Mike, I think you need to do a detailed look at this Excavator. Makes me think I'm a kid all over again watching the Big Boy Machines in action. And while Mike has this powerhouse "digging" machine, now's the time to make your move Melisa, to get your swimming pool at least dug.

[@kevingerlach7517]

Mike, you got a great looking piece of equipment there, looks like a lot of the Heavy Lifting work will get done fast. I will enjoy seeing what projects you get done on the property. So best of luck and safe and smooth days ahead, from the Oregon Gerlach's

[@builtbybuck]

Mike, I have told you this before but I am going to tell you again you are a very talented guy in a lot of different areas.

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Mike! That’s a mighty fine machine you get to play with for the next month! It made quick work of that stump and tree. Looking forward to seeing your adventures on it! Funny that you mentioned Letsdig18. I was having the same thought when you gave Chris the shoutout. You gave him a run for his money on this video! Thanks for sharing!

[@user-wo4hb4zi5y]

Great job, much appreciated 👍

[@russellbowman8051]

When you got the right machine for the job it makes it a lot easier!!👍👊

[@jimwesselman]

Looks like you have done this before, very smooth on the operation of the machine. Can’t imagine how difficult it would be without the thumb! Thank you for a great video!

[@mikeengler2645]

Watching your tube is like watching Frackil Rock always busy

[@rogerbamatutz1927]

WOW! That's a machine. You're good Mike. You use it as if it were a third arm. I've helped digging out stumps by hand. It was 50 yrs ago but very hard work.

[@carmineiadeluca935]

Today's the Morgan's 1st day of their new lives. 👍 The projects begin !God's blessings & best wishes ❤

[@markthompson7508]

Appreciate your videos. Lots of good advice and thought for consideration. Keep up the great work.

[@dalesteinecke949]

Now that was fun. I need one for a couple days

[@bullrun1]

👍🏼👍🏼 Kubota !! - wide open space like that, smart of you to reposition and dig over the blade, a lot less bouncing around and much more leverage than side digging.

[@paulrice1918]

Machine tour would be interesting. Good work with it so far.

[@mikegreatcarpbode6205]

I'd love to see more about the controls and features of that machine, really looks like fun to operate. Mike you're definitely going to make things happen fast, big changes in a short time YAHOO

Just had an excavator here 4th of July weekend for 3 days. You can get a lot done. Thumb is awesome attachment to have. I used it to put some field drains in hay fields, dig out some stumps etc. .

[@phillyfathead]

Gotta love the big boy toys!!!

[@daveschmidt5713]

Since you asked, I would love to have close up cab-view of you opperating the excavator. I'd also like you to give some commentary on how you approach each step of your project.

[@billp3995]

Nice machine. I have a kx033-4 with almost 300hrs on it. It’s pulls stump and cleans up good.

[@jimduke5545]

I vote for a “features” tour! I’d also like to see you do one stump with a BX to show that it can be done. I would be amazed if you can do the 10 foot stump drop with the BX 😱. Love the channel.

[@rodneyross5282]

I personally know it can be done with a little BX. Believe me it takes a while.

[@jimduke5545]

Rodney Ross Oh, I know you can dig out the stump, even drop a tree, with the BX. I didn’t say it couldn’t be done. I just don’t recall seeing it on KZbin and the time spent doing it (ripping roots, moving backhoe, clearing dirt...) is just one part of what I dread. Mike (or Mellissa 😉) might have better techniques that viewers (at least me!) would enjoy seeing. I think 10 foot stump drop with a BX would require he pick up the BX/stump with the excavator first 🤣. Just moving that stump to his root/stump pile with a BX would probably be...instructive.

[@user-zw3ci6pr7d]

I am always amazed at your ability using the controls on equipment, from spreading gravel to running this excavator. You would think you do this every day.

heck of a machine....great video

[@jonimonohon6494]

Good morning from Indiana! Mike, it would be great if Kubota would let you have this excavator for a couple years like the tractors. Loved watching your videos when you fixed up the trails with the Bobcat excavator a couple years ago. Keep up the great work! Love your family and videos. I've learned so much.

[@jimpikul8551]

Looks like you’re doing a tour of the machine. But as a side note, since the “He Shed” is still in the early stages, don’t forget to either install an oil/ water separator to catch fluids or set a grade to get the water to leave the garage come winter season. Nice work with the machine!
