MIKE, gotta say , I purchased a used 1993 Kubota G6200 lawn tractor that i needed parts for. Called Messicks and the parts department was fantastic! They helped me out, gave me the correct info on my tractor I needed, had the parts, and shipped them the NEXT day. AND I talked to a person who didn't have an accent! A pleasure to work with!

[@timhilton5096]

Thanks for taking me to the country boy version of Disney World. Years of hard work and that Messick family has built a great business.

[@i.r.wayright1457]

I have bought things online from Messicks for my B2601and that place is worth the 100 mile trip for me to see it in person.

[@balljar7546]

I've always liked Neil. Been watching him for almost as long as I've been watching Outdoors With The Morgans. I really enjoyed that tour Mike. Thanks to you and Neil for taking me along.

[@wildbill23c]

Neil's Channel, Mike's Channel, and John's Channel (A Ritter Bit Will Do), were the 3 channels I found first when I was watching videos on the Kubota BX series tractors before I bought my BX2680. Excellent content from all 3 channels....Love the knowledge that Neil has both with equipment and the tech side as well. $35 computer runs their parts stuff, I'm not surprised those tiny little things are extremely useful and highly under-rated. I'd love to be able to tour that whole building, I think I'd wear a pedometer, I'd love to see how far we'd walk during the tour....gotta be several miles. Several years ago, I had a chance to tour the Micron facility in Boise, Idaho, it literally was miles of walking.

[@randylonghurst9326]

Thank you Mike and Neal for the tour and insight into the Messick operation! Nice to see the passion that Neal has for his customers, employees and products and services they provide.

[@johnmichael7570]

Neil taught me a ton about my Kubota mini tractor before I ever bought it. Messick's teaching videos are fantastic. When I needed a part, I found their online presence is great and their price was better than anybody else even though I'm in Tennessee. Good stuff, Mike!

[@wayneweis653]

Neil is a professional, He presents with a cup of coffee in his hand.

[@richardalexander969]

I wonder how many coffee mugs Neil wears out in a month.

[@wildbill23c]

Glad it was empty as much as he was flinging it around HAHA!!!

[@MessicksEquip]

@@richardalexander969 I carry one around the office until about 11am.

[@SwimCoach8]

Growing up in the Hershey area, I've driven by Messicks for nearly 50 years. I remember a tiny show room with one maintenance building. A row of 20 to 50 new and used Kubotas and other brands chained together along Rt. 283 on a gravel parking lot. It's great to see a local business doing well.

[@rodneyrote6261]

I remember when they were on route 230 outside of elizabethtown

[@johnsadler8637]

Our younger son lives in Hershey, and we drove past the Mount Joy Messicks on the way to somewhere else. I really want to take him there for a tour (shorter, just to see the kinds of equipment that exist now), and I’d have a blast there. Very impressive. Interesting to see the big sprayer and realize precision ag technology matured in the 30 years since I was researching in that field. I sketched out the requirements for that kind of equipment but didn’t have the research funding or engineering support to develop it back then. Glad someone did, and I wasn’t just a crackpot researcher!

[@StefanMarkPiano212]

As an employee at Messicks it’s easy to think "it’s just a building" and forget about our store at E-Town., but reading these comments and seeing it from another perspective really makes me appreciate where I get to work. Thanks for the visit Mike and hope to see you again sometime.

[@vincedee6607]

Neil sure is knowledgeable and passionate about the equipment. The Hire of a lifetime,

[@damoose1829]

Having worked in a Ag dealership I can say that this Messick's location is Beyond Belief. WoW!!!!👍👍 What a facility!!!

[@shanehumphrey4827]

Trust me mike made money going there!!!and he should!!!!

[@ChadAmI80]

WOW! I could geek out with Neil all day long on so many things he showed, from the equipment they sell to the tech behind their shipping/warehouse operations. Thanks so much Mike for sharing this with us.

[@moremoney2]

I was so engulfed in the amount of diverse knowledge that Neil has, I watched the entire video. His understanding, communication style and attitude are a true asset to his company. I’m retired from sales, manufacturing and production control and love technology and learning new things.

[@johnmarincic1650]

Just WOW! Had no idea Messick's was that big. You can hear the pride in Neil's voice when he's talking. What they have achieved for the local economy is amazing.

[@brucebello2049]

Hi Mike, John Smiths comment really struck me too, don’t take it to heart, you have done an amazing job and are such an inspiration to so many people, I’m 72 this year, have a lot of experience, both positive and negative but have never met anyone like you, thank god for your channel and what it brings to all our lives, please just disregard comments like these, you take care, say hi to all your family

[@wallyinthewoods]

I’ve got to say, I’ve watched this tour in complete awe. I’ve appreciated Neil’s equipment videos for some time now and it had a great influence on my M62 TLB a couple years ago. Love your videos Mike, I haven’t missed a single one lately since last summer! It’s a part of my 5am routine here in Oregon sipping my coffee and catching an OWM video Mondays, Wednesdays Saturday and Sundays! I circled back to watch this one again. That parts department and shipping center is out of this world. It’s always a pleasure to listen to people who love what they do.

[@johnclark5153]

The inventory at Messick's was incredible. Thanks for taking us along.

[@brucebenson9651]

Mike, I loved this tour with Neil so much I went over to their channel and subscribed. Neil was great! Thanks to both of you for taking the time to share with us.

[@foreverbrownsfan]

Excellent tour of a great company. A nationwide distribution with a local small business mindset & work ethic. Thanks Neal and Mike!

[@badcat4707]

Has anyone else noticed just how nice the stone yard there at Messicks is ? along with all the cool equipment of course 😸😺

[@richardhumble2296]

This for me has to be near the top of your videos. I grew up in farming and did parts when we were just starting to use computers. I moved from Ohio to Georgia 50 years ago and when watching your videos I often wish I was back. Keep up the good work, always look forward to your videos.

[@CCscott]

Neil is such a nice and knowledgeable guy. If I was ever in the market for stuff he’d be a go to guy!

[@happycampers6701]

That place is so cool, and you can tell they take care of their customers. Unbelievable

[@sparkyprep3905]

Messick's is the equipment sales shop that we wish we all had near us. The gold standard.

[@jamesgaul1022]

Great video, Mike. I really enjoyed the tour of Messick's. Neil is a great spokesperson for the company and extremely knowledgeable regarding the vast array of products Messick's offers for sale. I started to follow Neil on the Messick's channel in the fall of 2017 shortly after purchasing my Kubota B2601 tractor with a FEL, rear blade, mid-mount mower, loaded tires, etc.

[@bartonmd]

Wow, I hadn't imagined Messicks would be that huge!!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

A top-notch company in every respect!👍👍👍 Years ago, when they first opened their new facility, Neil and Nick gave me a personal tour of the entire complex, and it was unbelievable. However, my wife had frozen the bank account before I left the house😂😂😂

[@terrygroce1594]

Mike, This was a very informative video of Messick's dealership. Thanks for sharing this with us. More folks should watch this to understand farming and equipment they use. Impressive.

[@russellbowman8051]

Absolutely Loved The Tour!! Neil Is An Awesome Guy! And So Full Of Knowledge About The Business And The Equipment They Have To Offer!! He Is Like A Walking Data Base!! Keep Smiling On!! 😅👍👊❤️

[@WindowGeek1]

Mike, I always love your interviews! To get you and Neil talking about equipment, parts, lubricants, and service is simply outstanding. It always feels like I’m along for the walk and learning a ton of new stuff. Great video! I use Messick’s for my parts and upgrade needs and I live in Massachusetts. Their customer service is outstanding. Thanks always for excellent content. 👍👍

[@kaine136]

Stellar video- I had NO clue Messick's was such an operation. Also Neil is such a down to earth humble guy- what a refreshing point of reference for someone who could be proud. Thanks for sharing Mike!

[@robertwyatt8209]

That is one incredible place and family. 11 months is insane!!

[@louinzinna5890]

Messicks is Amazing! Neil is a whole lot more than a KZbin personality. He is the real thing. Thanks Mike for taking us there. Thanks Neil for spending your time touring your facilities. It is more than impressive and you are so proud of it, it shows!

[@bobhobson408]

Unbelievably clean and organized at Messicks and a top notch store. Neil is an amazing business man. Thanks Mike

[@RKHarm24]

Mike, when I saw this video was 45 minutes long, I was, Oh Well, I can skip ahead. I watched every second from end to end. I was totally into the live tour with Neil. I saw his passion in the store and even his Nerding out on the oil's. If I was in need for equipment, parts and accessories, Messick's would be a top choice. No need for a backhoe, the cemetery will provide that. Showcasing Messick's was a grand slam. Thanks.

[@assemblerhead]

Tour of Messicks is phenomenal! It givens so much insight into their operation. I've ordered parts from their online web site, but I never would have imagined the infrastructure behind the scenes. Thanks for taking and sharing the video.

[@davidwright4537]

So nice to see a well organized and obviously, well run company. I forwarded this vid to many friends. As a retired founder of a large company, this is the type of organization I appreciate!

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

Mike, what a great addition to your attachment collection. The tour of Messicks was fantastic. What an awesome operation. Thank you soooo much I really enjoyed the video.

[@PatrickCPalmer]

Another awesome Morgan video! Nothing better than walking around a lot full of very cool toys and dreaming “If I only had that one, I could …”

[@hhazelhoff1363]

What a amazing facility, I would have to leave my check book at home, incredible

[@user-od5ij6jt8z]

greetings mr. mike; i am impressed with neal at messicks. he is very respectful of your right to speak without interrupting and is very well informed on the equipment. thank you for this video...........g

[@jimgarbus1371]

Thanks for taking the time for the tour, awesome stuff!

[@user-fk9yy1mf1b]

Absolutely the best video I've ever watched in this segment of life, amazing. Thanks Mike

[@dougsmith9099]

I have been by this place and never dreamed it was this big AWESOME, and clean.seems like great people. Thanks for the tour Mike and Messicks !!

[@mikefay2145]

Great Video Mike. My wife is an Agriculture Education Influencer within the state of Pennsylvania. After watching today's video, she immediately sent your link out to her Ag teacher network. The conversation of careers while touring the sprayer was great. Kudo's to both you and Neil Messick!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

That’s awesome, thanks

[@doughershberger4285]

That’s a very impressive dealership, I’m sure Neil is very proud of it. I can’t even imagine the overhead they have, plus 180 employees. You definitely got to sell a lot of product to pay those cost.

[@garywilt76]

I cannot imagine the cost of inventory of that dealer. Thank you for the tour Mike.

[@hdbikerdave5835]

Very impressive dealership and supporting service company. Well done!

[@dennisworkmansr.714]

I am amazed with the person's off hand knowledge and anything you bring up he is right there with a quality explanation. Very good video.

[@tomfarley3924]

Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, WOW. I knew Messicks is a big dealership, but I didn't realize they were this massive. And so many brands. Thanks for letting us come with you, Mike.

[@wademizelle3433]

I watch Neil’s channel every video. He is great and his content is great. His knowledge of the equipment business is better than great. Tjans

[@jockmcgee7591]

Thanks for sharing Mike. I knew Neil sold a lot of products but had no idea it was that much and the place is HUGE

[@mittenman1989]

Very informative, Mike. What an amazingly, organized, complete company! And speaking of amazing, that's the word that comes to mind, when you hear the vast amount of knowledge that Neil has stored in his brain! Professional, knowlegable, polite & personal. What an asset to the company. I should have known. You always seem to deal with the best people! Thanks, Mike!

[@todds2248]

Wow! What an amazing outfit. They are obviously doing something right!

[@larrylong6794]

Mike I’ve said this in several comments I am a St. Louis guy who live on a 1/4 acre lot in a subdivision. I must have been taken home from the hospital by the wrong family b/c I would love to do what you do. This video is awesome. The knowledge that Neal has is astounding just about equipment and he’s a IT guy on top of it.🤯 If I ever drive by Messi ck’s I HAVE to stop and look around.

[@dennisgiles958]

Love the commitment to customer service as it is hard to find these days

[@wildbill23c]

I agree. I've only dealt with Messick's once, and that was when I ordered my pallet forks from them during COVID. I wouldn't wait any longer for my local dealer to source them, so I thought I'd try Messick's sure enough they had some in stock, and was able to ship them across the country to Idaho...I just drove over to the Fedex Warehouse and picked them up. I didn't wait on hold forever, the phone call was great, very easy to get what I needed, transaction only took a few minutes and then it was only 5 or 6 days before I got the pallet forks....although shipping was expensive, it was the only way at the time I could get what I needed, and overall excellent experience with their "call center". Its almost like they have taken in all the terrible experiences that one could have with a call center, customer service, and ordering by phone, and threw it all away and just do the right thing. I wish we had a Messick's here in Idaho....my poor Kubota salesman at my dealership is trying to do like 6 people's jobs LOL. He's awesome and knowledgeable but dang he's busy.

[@michaelmerwin6049]

Excellent video, I’m from Western MA, planning on visiting Messick’s while in the area…!!!

[@jackjones391]

Mike, Thank you soo much for the tour with Neil. I have always wondered how large and the type of assorted equipment that he carries. I have spoken to him by phone before. Great guy.

[@PEI_Guy]

Super interesting episode Mike. I love walking around businesses like this checking out the new gear. Neil does a great job of explaining everything. I call a place like this a giant toy store.

[@offroadnut]

Amazing video. I work at a car dealership and this was so interesting seeing the similarities and differences that we share with Messicks. What a huge business!!!! Thank you for posting the video.

[@buckeyefarmer6259]

Amazing place. I order from them, and they will ship it to the Messicks closer to me to pick up.

[@andyrobinson339]

I continually give you props for doing your part to keep this blistering economy going. Thank You!

[@wfmontgomery]

Fantastic video. I work in the aftermarket automotive supply industry and I can tell you this facility is on par with our industry! Great layout and use of space.

[@davidbishop4015]

Mike I don't own or have a need for any equipment but I want to take the tour you just showed us. What a great company!! All the inventory from the smallest bolt to the biggest combine. The relationship between the employees and their customers is sometimes lost but not at Messicks. It's amazing. Thanks for the video tour. Stay safe.

[@rogerl8488]

WOW Mike what a huge place!!!!! I would be there all day shopping !!! Thank you for video!!!

[@eloleddie]

I am just silent, without words. This place is just out of this world. What a beautiful place and staff!!

[@scobob]

Great video. I've been following both you and Neil for many years and to see the mashup of the channels is a testimate to this medium and how it can bring communities together. Love the content!

[@michaellaplante616]

From Maine, that is an impressive video and certainly Messick from 1952 has done a job beyond words. Neil presented the company well. If I ever travel in that area a stop would be necessary,,,,

[@AroundTheYard-MN]

Great Tour Mike, thanks for taking us along! Have a great day Around the Yard!

[@lenclark6099]

What an awesome place MESSICKS has for their business!!! WOW!!!😊

[@tuttova]

That's beyond amazing place! Thanks for showing us, Mike!

Messick is very lucky to have a guy like Neil working for them I hope they appreciate what a company guy that he is extremely knowledgeable 👍

[@MessicksEquip]

Neil is one of the owners 🙂

[@joshbrown8911]

Walker Farms went a step further with their sprayer and installed sensors to identify weeds. Dropped their chem use even further. Plus the LED install is very neat.

[@brianhosey3811]

Very impressive! That was a fun tour! What an organization!

[@Kcolby47]

What a great tour! Thanks to you and Neil for the great tour, product lineup, and seeing various types of equipment.

[@tinad846]

The total dedication to people service is awesome. Where do you find this kind of attention in any field? And they promote other services in the area such as the Amish craftsman. I live in AZ and can only dream of having these types of professionals. Great coverage Mike. Have an awesome day.

[@gregberthiaume8665]

I’m blown away by the scale of Messicks. I’m super impressed.
