Ya gotta be careful with fresh turned dirt. That smell can maybe turn you "healthy". Spring plowing to me was always a good aromatherapy! Good on Melissa! I've done it, and passed on her mantra, "You can choose to be happy", and she always seems to be! If I can't be like Mike, then I want to be like Melissa!

[@stevedoty5841]

LOL. Like you said we “all” want to be outside then I get “stuck” watching you and other videos. Get off my butt. Finish video later. Finally finished at 8:30pm. You guys are so good for Hunter.. He is the type of person I worked with for 25 years. You are a blessing to him.

[@robertkribs9513]

I have been thinking about this comment for some time and want to get it right. I see you as a land sculptor. Just like a sculptor who sees the potential of his finished work in a piece of rock, you have the ability to see the potential in any particular outdoor setting and with your tools develop a whole new rendering in a very artistic fashion. And Melissa, his fascination with multiple camera angles the secret to his video success so if he forgets where he put a camera now and then it is simply a cost of that success! Keep on!

[@keithburch5506]

This project is looking good today. A low spot there at the bank is nothing, that's where you are getting your fill dirt. That area there will change a few more times before you're finished. Melissa said she likes the smell of fresh turned dirt, u do too. Back as a bricklayer, we enjoyed lots of great smells and some bad ones too. During a rainy week we were sent to a local furniture plant to remove and replace the floor in a fairly large section of the plant. By the end of the week I really felt bad for the employees there that have to breath the fumes in there. Varnish, shellac or whatever, was real strong. But that was just a week for us, after that we were back out in the wide open sites w fresh clean air and sunshine! I'm glad your dogs got to meet Tank, bet that was fun. This project was nice to see today, but I'm still excited to see the sawmill shed build back in the woodyard. Always great stuff at the Morgans! Thanks Mike!👍🚜❤🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@steveniemyer9288]

My friend bought a house years ago that had a huge roll of copper (1000’ roll) the previous owner left in the garage. He knew it was worth something, but never really gave it a second thought. So it sat there for years. Another friend remodeled his house when the price of copper went through the roof a few years back, and he told us what he got for the old copper in his house. So my friend decided to scrap that huge roll he had. He took it to the scrap yard, which was no easy feat, and was paid a small fortune for it. A couple days later the CSX railroad police showed up at his door. They informed him the copper was stolen from a CSX railroad, apparently it had been stolen sometime in the 70’s. Long story short there was a lot of legal issues surrounding it and in the end my friend returned the money to the scrap yard. I believe the scrap yard in turn just gave the money to CSX.

I watched your video earlier today and when I saw the puddle I thought , well that’s not to bad . When I saw saw the water draining I was very surprised there was so much .

[@mikeengler2645]

I feel the pain in your voice when you say your going to have to loose this tree and that tree...you have thousands of trees on your property and you treat them all with respect and love....flip side you make firewood and lumber mostly from dead or downed trees... When you run your excavator and pat and smooth the dirt your grandson couldn't do any better with his little hands...you tell stories of being a " blaster " you were just rearranging mother earth.... I love to hear the stories of your stories and some of the humor that went with them... especially the one you told about the guy on your site that liked to dig with a baby shovel/spade and you guys hid it on him LoL that's something I would do too.... Anyways have a a good day be safe ❤️

Always good to get back out and move some dirt. Helps with getting ourselves re centered after going and being around others. Hope everyone is doing good. Stay safe!

Not so much fun if you only have a shovel and wheel barrow. A bucket on a machine is a game changer even if it’s a little tractor.

[@harrykeel8557]

@@kdegraa trust me I know about the wheelbarrow. I ran one sometimes, either at home or work. But them again I made motor noises to get through the day. Not trying to be ugly or anything but sometimes that's all you have.

You make it all look easy, but I know that there are years of experience at work. Great job as usual.

[@billonthehill9984]

To bad the hickory required removal, but sometimes sacrifices become necessary to gain access... My previous home had a large shagbark hickory that produced large volumes of nuts & the proof was in the pudding each season cleaning the empty shells left behind by the red squirrels in the wood shed, formerly a chicken coop... Bill... :~)

[@wayneladd7509]

It was so nice to meet you guys at the Bunyan. A long ways from Maine but I just had to do it. I was wondering never having been there as to how to make contact. But no problem as me and my son may have been the first to greet you as we got in the same spot at the same time. Keep up the good work. Love the family for me. That includes those 4 legged ones.

[@dannyize]

I very much like the commentary you provide while running the equipment. I always wanted you to do that; I suppose it was a question of getting the proper microphone. Anyway, big thumbs up!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I just did the same thing with an accidental pond. I dug a borrow pit to harvest clay and let it rain before filling it back in. It turned into a mess

[@jeffreyyeip1915]

As Paul from Fab Rats would say, your eye chronometer was off the day you dug out the bank causing the low spot. 😉

[@metroplexchl]

Wow as much clay as you have over in that area that collected water, you could use that as a really nice borrow pit for other areas of the property that need clay. That road looks great by the way!

Bummer about the GoPro - that’s a lot of fuel money down the drain. But as you mentioned, it goes with the territory sometimes. I’m not sure if you mentioned what you are planning on using that space for or if I missed it but curiosity is getting the better of me. You moved a lot of dirt on this one but it is all coming together! Can’t wait to hear what the plan is but I’m sure it will be nice!

[@jaymyers3888]

Hey Mike, Jay here from Oregon. Very nice meeting you & Melissa at PB. Wish we would’ve had more of a chance to visit. Wanted to thank you for all the vids, in particular your older video of the Wallenstein skidding winch. After watching that I purchased the smaller FX40 winch for my little Kubota LX3310. Also purchased the break-away snatch block. All very useful. Can you estimate the depth and width of the area where you placed the culvert? I have a similar situation at my place. Thanks …

[@burncon2]

Different video I think but re cable winch. Get about 100’ of 3/8” steel cable and clamps. Clamp loops just short of the excavator’s reach & maybe add 10’ or so for a choker loop at the log end. Faster and stronger (and cheaper) than a winch. Store the cable on pegs spaced apart on the end of a barn/shed etc.

[@BigMike67]

Mornin Mike , On your culvert installation , yes you said it was just a simple pass over for mowers and such . . . Probably would have been good to have used your plate compactor around the pipe to really set that pipe in tight , to keep the water flow from trying to go around the pipe rather than through it . Yes you said more work to do on it . . . Is the field going to drain into the dry creek over its width or at a given spot ?? Would cover the top of culvert with good layer of rock , to keep the mud down, and use some of your geo fabric on ends of pipe and some of that larger crushed limestone tou have left over as riff raff on the ends I think you stated before when it rains hard that Creek carries a bit of water thru it . Best to protect all your hard work from being washed away to turned impassable by heavy rain . Interesting little project It's all the fine tuning that really makes a project pop . Might not seem worth it to you, but I would save those little hickory trees , cut them up , spilt maybe once and could be used when you use your fire pit to cook Some of the hickory on top would give some food flavor to your meat. If you like hickory of coarse , or maybe use the bigger stuff as blanks for knife or tool handles Just a thought I myself tend to be a little miserly on somethings, on others , not so much BigMike

[@randyrobertson3490]

Hey Mike nice job on this project! I see the trees are changing there, I would love to see a drone shot of your trees! Have a day!

[@LongBinh70]

Usually we get a view of the skid steer from the side, and without something to compare it to it's hard to judge just how big it is. In one of the shots in this video we get to see the front and Mike sitting on the operator's seat. He gets lost in the huge cabin! "Does this skidsteer look good on me?" 🤣🤣

Hey Mike, I couldn't make it to Bunyan this year but I'm definitely planning on gong next year. Nice work moving the dirt and getting the culvert in, as always it was a pleasure to watch!

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Great job, Mike. Maybe you can bring that machine up and do the same thing for me. I’m always wishing I had a tractor pathway across our creek. I actually think I remember when you bought those sections of pipe and mentioned the supplier. I called them for pricing at the time and even though I’m sure it was a good deal, I was shocked at the cost. I bet now they’re even higher. Good for you for getting that extra section back then.
