      Hello Mr. & Mrs. Morgan. I just wanted to let you know that your channel on Bitchute is not showing up in my feed (on my main page, under the " Popular - Subscribed - Trending - All" (Subscribed) banners. I suspect it is the same in other people's pages, and that's why the views have gone down to 9 - 10 ... Even after going to my subscriptions (you're still there), clicking on your channel, unmuting notifications, trying whatever I can... you still do not show-up under my main page Subscribed banner. I went into my settings looking for something... and nothing. I believe the view numbers signify it is the same for just about anyone else. Thought I'd let you know; it's not you 😉🙂

    Good morning Morgans! Mike if you put your laser receiver on the top of the grade rod and collapse the rod all the way then you can slide the rod up and down to find your grade. Its easier than trying to remember where you started and stopped each time you have to check grade. Just a little info from a guy who spent a considerable amount of time checking elevation grades. Have a great and Blessed day!

    Archeologists today were working to unearth the historical “Morgan Site”, a well known area of ancient man’s use of wheeled and tracked tools. To their surprise they uncovered a eighteen inch layer of mixed limestone rocks. While this was unusual, the real mystery is the mixture of perfectly preserves wood chips and sawdust. Excavations continue with an air of expectations!

    I think I would be tempted to take material from the oak outwards on that side, making the level road wider. The bottom side could be filled with the dirt you take out.
    That looks like a potential flat spot.

    Hello Mike from Brookhaven, MS. I watch your video's pretty much every day. You remind me of myself about 30 years ago when I was around 55 years old. I was and still am very much a machinery freak and have owned many tractors, backhoes, dozers, and even a small excavator since I was around 20 years old. I did not get to the point you are where I could buy new until after I retired but rather did a lot of horse trading and working on the used equipment. I was a mechanic by trade and used my skills to keep the older equipment running and much of the time to get it running from a broken down situation. I have been retired for 25 years and still cut about 5 acres of yard/pasture but have gotten rid of all my heavier equipment due to realizing things are not as important as they were when I was younger and had much more energy, but I still have a 40 HP Kubota with an air conditioned cab, grapple, box blade, mower, and related equipment, a JD 1025R with a loader and backhoe for shovel and wheel barrow work and moving trash cans to and from the end of the driveway, and a new Stihl 760 zero turn for cutting the grass. Enough of that though, what I wanted to suggest is that you consider looking into a six way blade attachment for your Kubota skid steer. A six way blade on a small dozer or a skid steer the size you have would make ditching trails and driveways and even grading them very easy. I know you have the excavator but a six way blade is really handy. Just a suggestion. Really enjoy your video's and your down to earth lifestyle. Tell Hunter hello from Southwest Mississippi.

    Water flow tells the facts. Use sprayer tank and fill with water and dump in the hill to run. Both directions. Nice if you have laser. When I built this building, the builder ran out and bought a large version and opened the box on-site. After I got 98 Sand trucks loading and bulldozer to level. He could not find it not level. Dozer guy had great eyes. Red go after and try to kill Gray ones.
