Now you're having fun !! Fits you like a glove and it'll do what you want it to do, makes you look good too Mike. Your hidden talents will rise and shine. So happy for you and the family. It will really be helpful for you all. Stay safe and keep up the great videos here on youtube . Fred.

[@davidhaskins9457]

Great job Mike love watching folks working dirt with machines that seemed to be connected like another hand

[@charlessabinjr7171]

Impressed by the demonstrated capacityof the new equipment. I can see the skills in dirt moving and road building that you honed on the smaller machines translated into a smooth operation that accomplishes more work in less time.

[@robertleemurrerjr.8245]

I'm about 100 hours into my SLV-95 and share your sentiments. When you look for new forks, make certain they are pass through which allows old-man ingress-egress from the cockpit.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes! Good catch, I didn’t think of that

[@HallnoutMhall]

Good evening Morgans and friends. Woke up to everything being covered in snow this morning. Snowed off and on all day. So ready for spring but it will eventually jump straight to summer more then likely. Love the new machine Mike. Hope all are well. Have a great evening and we'll see you all down the road.......thanks.

[@aaronbaum2542]

Beautiful job done so far Mike!! You can really move the earth and have fun doing it!! Nice machine!! 😎

[@lhommegallant7840]

Been away for awhile concentrating on some Convoyers doin' "things". Results in not doin' the things here on the homestead. Definitely needed me some Morgan Magical Inspiration to refocus. Sweet Kubota machinery +skilled Mike operator=good results. Thanks to the Morgans for all they do!!!

Fun project, looking great so far!

[@brucebello2049]

Brilliant Mike, fantastic tool for you, great start to the next project!

[@perrywarner7567]

Work is so much fun when you have the right toy's to help you get them projects done !!!

[@lawrencelipon8673]

Enjoyed the presentation & camera work as well as the editing, and the host was pretty good too, a pleasure to watch a skilled operator enjoying the work and respecting their equipment he/she has to work with . At the end I also enjoyed the soundtrack might be strange, to to me it seemed just to tie everything together ……10/10 thanks

[@ralphjelomono9068]

Always nice seeing the drone shots. I see another benefit with your expansion project. More gravel = less grass to cut.

[@evilbrat5376]

Mike, now this is what I was talking about the other day[yesterday]. grading at its finest. Moved a bunch in just a short time and raised your grade at end of run what 2 - 2 -1/2 feet? That is a fast machine you have. Well done Mike Morgan, well done. Not a "New" machine anymore there now quite your smiling at it. Have a safe day out there but have fun too.

Nice to see you kick into that fill with the new machine, looks like its gonna make easy work of what would've been a long haul. May I just say "Kid With A New Toy"...LOL made me smile watching the vid. Great purchase Mike.

[@bobbyfowler7319]

You're having way to much fun!!

[@johnsadler8637]

Nice first project for the SVL-97! It occurs to me that you could get that back into the timber during the wet season, and much faster than walking the excavator in and out. Good looking machine, and it appears to work as good as it looks.

[@gbsbill]

Great love the new machine Mike!

[@bobblenuts]

Sound of that new machine reminds me of the baseball card I had on the spokes of my bike about 60 years ago...LOL You are totally into earth moving now Mike, have fun!

[@gregbednar5927]

Great Machine!

[@MP-ef6mc]

Those SVL 97.2’s are like a Sherman tank, we use one in logging everyday, very very powerful machine.

[@jakeschisler7525]

Thumbs up on eliminating the back up alarm. Now with the skid steer when you get ready to remove the sod it should come right up and away.

[@rodborn1147]

I see several more loads of stone in the future for the Morgan homestead. 😆 Great job Mike. You are going to have a great work area for all of your woodworking activities. Stay safe and have fun.

Thank you! You too!

[@bobraymond6135]

That’s a fantastic little machine. Little in stature only. It’s a work horse for sure

[@amerritt261]

You're going to love the skid steer. That's the most versatile tool in your arsenal.

[@gusm5128]

I would think the excavator would be the most versatile tool in the arsenal.

[@CliffsideStables]

When the newness wears off (if it ever does) we’ll be watching to see Levi operating the skid steer! Tim in northern TN

[@andrewhricovsky2633]

Graduations on your new toy looks like it make easy work with the Fill dirt that you’re putting down

[@dougdobbs]

Something you might experiment with is to run a couple loops of old logging chain across the back of the bucket, pinned up on the corners. It keeps the back of the bucket from caking up like that, and when it clangs it gives you an auditory cue that the bucket is empty. I discovered this by accident with my skid loader. See if it works for you. :)

[@dozerboyd8784]

Doesn't help much in sticky clay soil. We did that for production loading in SoCal and it worked ok because it a lean clay. Doesn't help on wet fat clays.

[@jurgenritzhaupt5562]

Mike, I really like it!!!!! The way you can lay out each layer, smooth it down and pack it ---- OUTSTANDING ----- Like your making an extra large table top.... Life is wonderful, with the right tools of coarse... :-)

[@dmorgan28]

Hey Mike that’s awesome. That is a nice machine. You can can definitely get some work done with that. 👍👍👍❤️

[@keithbeynon3878]

That’s a great workhorse, I am sure we will see it in many videos to come.

Mike, have you noticed how much more effective that a tracked vehicle is at compacting soil than a wheeled vehicle? Man you are handling that track loader like real pro. What a nice addition to your equipment collection.

No spring here in west central Ohio yet. Been having mini blizzards of and on all day. Turns everything white then 10 minutes later it gone. Great job Mike,, looks like a lot of fun.

[@BirdYoumans]

I know, let's rearrange some dirt lol! Enjoyed breaking in the new "dirt rearranger" with you. Man and his machines. My what we have learned to do with tools and machinery. And these days we hardly break a sweat doing it. Relatively speaking of course. We live in a wonderful time. Now if we could just rid the world of chaos and hate so that we could all enjoy our accomplishments. What a wonderful world it could be! (There's a song in there somewhere.)

[@michaelmactavish4445]

i was acclly looking at a new svl97-2 and the kubota was the cheapest then any other brand out there wiche my kubota dealer wanted $50,100 for the 97.2hp svl 97-2 with buckets and forks and cat here wanted $96,989 for there 69hp wich rediculas and and $2,100 extra for the bucket and forks

[@chris3m98]

BirdYoumans, Agreed - We had it made up to the '70s. Nam changed that in my opinion, it changed the people's attitude toward this country. The old saying WE the people got changed to WE the privileged. I pray every day for us to go back to the '40s '50s (my time) '60/ '69. The be KIND time. What President Kennedy asked of us never happened? So sad!

[@bobwhite825]

@@michaelmactavish4445 Are you sure it was $ 50,000 ?

[@BirdYoumans]

@@chris3m98 Lot of truth in what you are saying. I'm 77 and was so fortunate to be raised in what I consider the USA's golden age. I fear we can never go back now. Politics and Religion (and I say this as a Christian by the way) has so divided us into us or them it's sad. No two people ever agree on everything, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends and care for the human race. Sigh..........

Nice machine..I'm sure you're going to benefit from it. .

[@andydsimmons]

You did a really nice job first time on the machine.... also I was told to dig over the idelers rather than the sprockets whenever possible. Minimizes wear on the sprockets. Great job.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes i did an entire video on that before, reason I didn't do it here was because i kept the blade on the downhill side to level up machine some and keep it from sliding around on the wet grass

[@rickpenrod1734]

Mike I have moved hundreds and hundreds of yards of dirt over the years but mostly with a Case 1845C and it's hard to call it work because its so enjoyable to see your accomplishments when you have finished each and every job. I've used track machines and they are incredibly more powerful and efficient
