Today started out very thickly cloudy in the mid40's at midnight and it never got colder but warmed up to 60 with a few hours of sunshine. The clouds all returned, the temperature is now 54 degrees with an occasional slight breeze & a spritz of rain. NO snow will fall from now through Christmas day.... here in Troy Missouri.

[@mikekarczewski5767]

Thanks for the quick delivery of the fire starter! Ordered Sunday, received on Wednesday. Merry Christmas Morgan’s !!

There might be more Mozarts but there would be more Bidens too if we had a trillion people on Earth. Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas!

Mike I think it’s time for a new build series. I’m thinking a new barndominium out in the clearing for you guys to move into.

[@donaldkennedy5604]

Well you’re getting them with your border overwhelmed like it is lol. Merry Christmas to you and yours Mike.

[@williamkelley5927]

Looking good! Love the new equipment and happy about the new addition to the tractor. Merry Christmas to you and the family and a chitty chitty bang bang into the new year!

[@JT-sz7xc]

Mike, those big gnarly or unusable to you pieces of wood. You should make a stock pile of them and sell or give them to people who have outdoor boilers. I know most people don’t have or want wood like that, but it’s a shame just to burn it when it could be put to good use. I totally understand having to make room, just a thought.

[@GrassRootOutdoorWork]

It’s a lot to process the big ones. I just did a big cottonwood for boiler wood on my channel.

[@Knotrockets]

Don't process it , let them do it. Not everyone has access to wood.​@GrassRootOutdoorWork

[@aplally1]

I was gonna say the same thing

[@isaiahraimondo6083]

I see guys all the time advertise on marketplace free wood like that and to the best of my knowledge guys come and get it, it’s a liability yes, but to me I see all wood as useable, when I process wood for customers I even scoop up the shavings, bark and the junk on the ground and throw it in my wood burner by the 5 gallon bucket.

[@brianhildom9372]

I have alot of dead ash trees on my property that are getting punky. I cut them in 8 ft logs and give it to people with outside Boilers. They love it!

[@jeffsaunders4785]

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to you and family. AND after watching your channel for quite a while you convinced me I needed a mini ex. So yesterday I purchased a new 2023 kubota KXO 57-5. I have 25 acres in central Arkansas. I know I will have a fun time keeping property looking good. Thanks Mike !!

I have a B3030 Cab I use around the farm and just replaced my 16 year old Kubota diesel mower with a new Huge Kubota Mower. I love them better than green paint.

Hey woodchuck im still running my 1993 l2350 with a woods hoe on it has a whopping 1600 hrs only thing even done was new back rims last year 😊😊😊

[@dougdorn9226]

I have the Kubota m62…what an awesome backhoe! Give one a try…

[@davidbickford2539]

When I bought my ‘retirement property’ of 12 acres, I thought about my equipment needs, in relation to my property type. Budget was limited. I bought an older BX which came with a front snowblower for my 500 yard curving driveway, an FEL, an MMM, back blade, and a few other attachments. The side by side UTV was next, followed by a zero turn. Enjoy your videos, keep up the great work! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@barney1941]

when you made that first chainsaw/farwood vidja you never thought it would lead to an army of them there KU-BOATERS on the ponderosa

[@davidevans474]

I to throw the narley wood or just leave it in the woods . Been enjoying your videos and I to enjoy just being in the woods and cutting firewood . I will be returning back home in 6 months to get back what I enjoy doing take care and merry Christmas to you and your family enjoy your time 😊

[@woodman4550]

I can get along without a side by side by I could not get by without a tractor.

[@tommyordoyne7461]

Mike, I did those calculations a couple years ago. I have 4 times my share of acreage.

How cow, 3 years since you left the work force, where did that time get off to. Good for you Mike, nice Kubota keeps giving you fresh equipment.

[@WoodisGood82]

My goal is to buy land in ME, at least 400+ acres. And that ratio will be 1 person per 400 acres just like I like it! Any ratio of more deer to humans is most appropriate and icing on the cake.

If you have a partrership with kabata you should look in to getting the 14000watt lowboy for a generator for the cabin.

Maybe the trillion people could all huddle together on Antarctica to stay warm.

[@EvilAdonis]

I know, dumb comment, but that's a lot of people.

[@dagwood1327]

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I have been splitting up some premium firewood out of a 30” log. Straight. No knots. Probably could bea veneer log but I don’t have anything to move it with so I cut it into firewood rounds. My tractor can pick up about 5 feet of it so I will try to cut some boards out of it if I can.

[@roberthealy9389]

Love the Henry rifle hanging on the wall in the building. I happened to have fun at a range with my Henry 357 today, plus a little plinking with my new Walther/Colt 1911 22 pistol. So much fun and didn't have to spend a lot of money. But that was after I shopped at Cabela's and bought some powder and wads to reload shot gun shells. About $300.00 for 8lbs. Of powder and 1,000 wads.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I would like a Henry in 357 or 44 sometime. Boy the action is so nice on them

[@rrd166]

Your point ??

[@jakeschisler7525]

In Florida I went to the Kubota dealer and they acted like they didn't want to sell to me a tractor so i left. My wife and I went to the Deere dealer and i asked him about that i heard that the rear-ends leaked and he just walked away. That told me it must be true. I bought a blue tractor it's an LS and I have had only one problem with it where a pipe running under the tractor leaked and i replaced it. Two old boy's in Georgia raise cattle and they have a Kubota side by side with the cab and heating and air conditioning and I know they love it. I would like a side by side but the prices scare me and I wouldn't buy a used one from someone selling one.

[@CliffsideStables]

I have found a Japanese Minitruck to be very handy. Hydraulic 6’ dump bed, 4WD, A/C, 5 speed & the sides of the bed fold down. Tim in northern TN

[@kdegraa]

Yeah little Japanese trucks are pretty good. In Australia they can be registered for road use too.

Dear Mike the earth can support 2 to 3 times more people easily. There is a lack of young workers all over the USA. Not enough young people to support the economic growth and the community of retirees. The USA needs a lot more immigrants!

[@haroldphipps3457]

Oh, we have PLENTY of young people. Just too many liberal young people that don't WANT to work. Also, quit leaving out the word LEGAL before the word immigrants! We need ZERO illegal immigrants. But do need LEGAL immigrants.

[@deanmoore420]

The John Deere 2038R with turbo diesel would this self leveler loader on it picks up an awful lot picked up a lot of firewood with it that does have the lifting capacity with no problems. I’m glad you like Kabota and your three range transmission.

[@Tdale85]

Hello Mike, Melissa and family! I was getting worried with no video Tuesday, and no video this morning. I thought for a brief second you may be taking a break from KZbin. Have a day!

[@auciellon9871]

Great video as always man. Merry Christmas to you and the family

[@LandFather]

Tractor first in my opinion, the ability to maintain and improve land is more important than simply moving around it, at least to me. I live on 20 acres and I went with 2 4 wheelers in lieu of a side by side, and have a 50 HP tractor and a John Deere 333G, next up is a 1.5 ton Chinese mini ex which should be here any day now. I do plan on getting either a Japanese mini truck or a side by side early next year

[@jimgoshey4103]

Crazy weather. I live in north central Minnesota and our forecast for Christmas is 44 degrees and rain. No white Christmas here either and I can’t remember the last time that happened. Merry Christmas to the Morgan’s! Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@L46C3]

The Kubota is a beauty! I remember back in 1997 when the ft150/ranger first came out with the bed extenders. Great idea for creating inexpensive space. I have been asking the same question: Tractor or utv? By next winter I'll have the house completed so I'll need the tractor for plowing. As of ten minutes ago, before watching this vid, I was looking for a 2003 4510 Deere tractor. Now, I'm not so sure.. Kubota you say.. Hmmm

[@ev2sqd]

Did I see a Henry rifle mounted on your wall in the pavilion?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes, Golden boy

[@haroldphipps3457]

​@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgansis it the American Logging Industry rifle? See an ad for it in Northern Logger and Timber Processor magazine. Cool engraving on it!

[@robertwazniak9495]

I’m guessing that your chainsaw would be electric by that time…😂

[@BGWenterprises]

Id probably go with a Suzuki Sidekick or long bed ranger or dodge Dakota for a farm run around ride. The thought of bying a side-by-side and beating it on a farm i just see far better uses of over 10,000 dollars. Like buying a set of used hay equipment and a 40ish hp tractor. Or a decent excavator or a..ect..ect..ect.. 0.01c

Merry Christmas to the Morgan family ❤.

Great video Mike! Received our fire starter yesterday and we're looking forward to trying it. It's been cold here in WNY the last few days so we've had a continuous fire in the stove. Merry Christmas to you and the family. - Tim

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

You will really like it

[@ricklane471]

Your answer on the side by side vs tractor question was spot on. Real world example; when I lived in the Gulf South (MS); I was working 2 acres. I needed the tractor first for hurricane cleanup and land maintenance. The side by side came 2nd for a hunting lease property. Where I live now, 10 acres in N Idaho, I would need the side by side first because of the terrain and the need to haul firewood. The tractor would be a close second for snow clearing and property maintenance (fortunately I had both when I moved here). So the answer is, it depends totally on what you need first. Great question. Good video.

[@haroldphipps3457]

That is quite the change of locations!!

[@jorgecayonsr2663]

Hey Mike. Looks like you are in need a roof over the wood pile. Nice side by side. Merry x-mas to you and your family.

[@leeklemetti1887]

Oh! MY! Oh NO! Mike just cut up those nice roof support posts into firewood. Now he has to go cut more trees. Yeah, all in a day's work. Keep it up Mike, just lovin' it.

Mike, I have enjoyed your videos for yet another year. I would like to take this time to wish ALL of the Morgan family a very nice Christmas. Stay safe and warm. Most of all don't forget the true meaning of Christmas. Ron

[@russellsmith3825]

For the question of side by side or tractor first, bobcat made a SXS with a front end loader that was interesting

[@haroldphipps3457]

They still do. If it fills the bill, it is just the machine! Have 2 acquaintance that own them, and another that flips them, and makes new parts for the known parts that rust out. Tool cat is the name of the machine.

[@francishier4698]

Im the proud owner of a new L60 grand L4060 and i am az happy as i can be its my third tractor and i like it the best so i know what you mean mike

[@freepatriot6313]

Oh me…. I’m jealous. I want a L6060 so bad. Does anyone on here owe me any money ?

[@LittleCabin]

We went with a tractor first for our property, mainly because we aren't there fulltime yet, and I needed a way to maintain over a half mile of gravel drive/road. I've decided to wait on a UTV until we're living there fulltime -- for now, I drive my tractor (or truck) whenever I need to haul a chainsaw, fuel, etc. anywhere.

[@bobheitz730]

I recommend the Lit-22 battery for your spypoint flex cameras. They handle the cold better. If you pair with solar panel, camera will run 24-7

[@wolfpack4128]

Their solar panel is a pretty good one as well. SPLB22 I think is the model number. I build my own but have a few of these as well and they stay fully charged with only a but of sun a day.

I own 20 acres with a sidekick, an M-5 and a 23S. I love Kubota. If your budget is tight the 23S can tackle the most jobs, with many attachments everything can be done.

[@realairplane261]

World population……interesting that you should bring the topic up. My grandparents on one side had 18 children, and on my other grandparents, they had 9. All survived until ww2, 2 were nuns and the rest reproduced. Last count I had over 120 first cousins. That is an extreme amount of reproduction and filling the corners of the earth. Mike + Melissa = 4 children thus doubling their numbers, so far have 2 grand kids + more to come. Looks like you and I have all contributed to world population. I took a world population college class in 1971, and now all that was predicted is happening now.
