You Two are a kick, love it when you interact with each other...My wife and I were very much the same as you two are...Sadly she was taken from me 11 months ago...Dont ever think what we have here cant be changed in a heart beat...Cherish everyday together. Blessings Rodney
Oh so sorry for the passing of your wife!
You are right
It can all change in the blink of an eye
You are correct Melissa, he is "good at it". There are some people who can just operate machinery as if it is an extension of them selves, smooth and precise with no abuse of the machine. Mike is one of them!
I have been saying that for over a year. its like am extension of his right arm, love to watch him, so good he can also lift up an raw egg with it.
He's a "natural" !!........and he's GREAT, too !! Ha, Ha !!
He is exceptional as an operator. He could be an instructor and give lessons! There you go another revenue stream!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Mike, you've got a nice touch with that equipment; smooth with little wasted motion.
Sure Mike, you are sitting in the air conditioned cab while Melissa is out in the heat swinging the camera 🤔😏
You are a lucky man to have a great partner 😉👍👍
You are correct Melissa. I would guess that the "we in planning and making meals" is 99.9999% you. Your constant cheerful smile is a day brightener to many. MAKE it a great day M & M!
Thank You for spending the time to record another video so we can be a part of it!!
Thank you Melissa for Brightening Our Day With That wonderful Smile!
Keep Smiling On!!
😀👍👊
Melissa you make that shirt look amazing
Nice compliment!
So I put watching you drive back and forth with the skid and speading gravel is as good as that movie.
I bet the views go up when Melissa is in the Thumbnail lol. Love getting a notification for a new episode! Always enjoy watching when I get home from work!
I bet you are right D S!
Mike’s not stupid!!
While the operator splits the wood in comfort, the camera operator is sweating bullets filming. (Poor Melissa). Both of you did a great job!
Red oak is excellent firewood. Takes longer to dry, but worth the effort. Your presplitting process saves a lot of heavy work. Always fun to watch you run the equipment !
Hearing about Hunter reminded me of the things my brother's kids have done they are all on the spectrum and can surprise you with the things they do and they are very routine oriented. They can be a handful but you have to love them because sometimes they will surprise you.
Mike is so precise with the excavator..I bet he could get a splinter out of my finger with it,,,,,,,well, maybe someone else's finger!....LOL!
If gravel spreading was an Olympic game, you would take home the gold for sure!
That splitter attachment is pretty "cool". Why not do the pre-split into a trailer so you don't have to pick them up off the ground?
He will prolly just pick them up with the firewood bucket on the tractor and bring them over to the splitter and keep them at waist height.
Made the same reply and then I saw yours
GOOOOOOOOD
MAAAAAAAAWNIN
EVERYONE OUT THERE IN OWTM WORLD!!! Mike “the stone sprinkler” Morgan…nice camera angles Melissa. Nice job 👍🏻
Hello Hunter!!
Have a Day
Good morning Jack 😸😺
@@badcat4707 Hello BADCAT
Amazing how much the area has been cleaned off. As far as the logs smarter not harder. Y’all Have a Day!
Mike: "gonna get some more 2A limestone"... Melissa: "Can't wait!" 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I about spew on that one.😂😂
Good morning Tom & Mellissa. Good to watch in the morning with my coffee. I like the early format...Greetings from an old jarhead in WNC
I am seriously amazed, watching those overhead shots, at how much your wood processing area has been developed and expanded by one excavator, a skid steer, and ole Bluford. Incredible!! The MX5400 has to be getting jealous right about now.
Thanks 👍
The stacking while pre splitting them helps with bending down to picking them up for final splitting
Mike not only is good at running the equipment, but sometimes I just think he is showing off. Getting all those rounds turned just the right way. I know it makes things much easier but he just does it so gingerly. Good job Mike. And good job Melissa for the camera work.
MIke just likes playing with his toys.
I thought the very same thing...just showing off ....but, we know what Mike's like with stacking wood and his stickers !
I'm Glad to see my significant other isn't the only one who give you the supise your cooking dinner late in the after noon LOL got to laugh it hurts to much to cry. Graet vid
Thank you Dick!
Mike, you really do manage that equipment with finesse.
AC and wood splitting. . . . Come to Texas and split some of my Live Oak with the AC unit. Been 100+ all of June. Somehow my day is more complete when it starts with ODWTM. Have a day.
That Live Oak is hard! And stringy!
Stringy like white oak?
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans,
And American Elm!
Hard as a brick!
Longest commissioned US Navy Ship Old Iron sides was made of Live Oak. Cannon balls bounced off her sides.
Fantastic you guys. You seem to live an idyllic lifestyle. I know you have worked hard for it and you are just really good people I can tell. Melissa you have a lovely smile too. Keep up the good work
That machine is sure the ticket for breaking those big rounds.
Good morning Morgan’s, cooler day her in NW Missouri 78°. Would be nice if the splitter could rotate like the logging attachments do. Great video and wish your family the best.
That was my suggestion when I first got it. It is pretty expensive but it could be used for other stuff as well. Rotational head .
💥 The Mike Morgan clap 👏 Almost forgot about that. Have a great day Morgan’s!
*Keep on tractoring!*
literally, how cool! Now that's what I call smarter not harder. Hey, no sweat! Ha! I would most certainly do it that way Mike. It's always a pleasure watching machines being used correctly too. Your equipment will last for many years to come. I follow a wonderful farm family here in NC. They farm a lot of land and have a lot of equipment. I saw your bushhog and blade being stored on a pallet. The farmer just parks his attachments, they stay there till next season, and then they have so much growth all intertwined in them. Heck, it's hard to get to them to pull them out! In my mind, he could easily clear off an area, spray it and stone it. I mean he buys Round Up by the 55 gallon drums! Always a pleasure watching a man using his head and his equipment like you do. I love your Independence day fireworks display, someone singing our National Anthem and playing the, "American Anthem like you've never heard it before." Your channel celebration is more on point than most - it's about our country's independence from tyranny. May the citizens of America remember this and become more alert to what's going on in our capital today. Wake them up Mike! Thank's for giving us such good content, see ya on the next post! 👍🚜❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤
Morning all from Ontario
let's see what everyone is up to...
Pete from Canada 🇨🇦
It’s all about working smarter not harder!!!
I was wondering why you didn’t put down the Geo Tech before the rock? Just not necessary?
Saw your 93r17 video, 5 years ago ,nice climate for splitting, still praying for Hunter and Eva and the family, great video Mike, have a day
Love that wood splitter! What a back saver! Enjoy watching you finesse that equipment. You have a talent.
Videographer gets you up close shots. Nice job.

Danger Zone from Top Gun
No one on UA-cam spreads stone as evenly and nicely as you Mike! LOL! You are an artist on anything with a bucket!
Hello Mike! What’s happening in the new building? We havent had an update in a while. I don’t miss a video. Enjoy them all.
Mike not sure if you this but you can counter rotate that machine by moving your left steering lever to the far right or far left depending on which you would like to go. You will get couple of benefits if you'll use that feature.
When one track is moving forward and one backwards at the time you are not locking one track and sliding the other as you would normally do. That feature will save you from replacing your tracks sooner. Also this counter rotation helps keep you from tearing up the ground your track that is locked is causing because of the sliding .
One last thing, ride control on your track machine is a must.
It takes the stress off the machine and you when carrying a load.
Ride control allows the loader arms to "float" slightly taking the shock and stress off the machine and gives you a comfortable ride that usually does not allow any jarring on you. Your machine can also be retrofitted if it does not have.
The reason I know these things is because I used to be an operator and then sold heavy equipment which required me to train the operators on proper maintenance and safe operation. We were also to my knowledge the first to install and try ride control on a track skid-steer back in the early 2003 days. We couldn't believe the difference and neither could the factory representative from Takeuchi !
Made history since then and now it is a factor option or dealer install ! Check it Mike you won't regret either one..
Good operating... Love watching your videos and life progress.
"Factory option "
Good evening Morgans and friends. Hope everyone is doing well. Hot and drier then a popcorn fart here. Mr Morgan it appears you may need a wee bit more gravel. 😉 please tell family hello and have a day. Thanks
It was more than hot the other day!! Hard on machinery and people!! Hope Cliff had you over to the pool!!!
Melissa you are looking good today
Our ODWT Morgan’s Pinup Girl!
@@oldmanfred8676 Brother! 👍
@@HallnoutMhall,
Michael!
Did sell y’all sell all the wood that was in the big wood ben?
Nice job as always! Looking forward to seeing the new sawmill setup over there.
Hello Mike and Melissa My day is made I got to see your smiling faces Hope you have a great day
Now I've seen it all. Lol although God gave us power tools for a reason and your using them
Looking good Mike & Melissa & say hello to the fan club up above sitting in their lawn chairs... Breaking those large rounds in advance in the air conditioned cab was the way to go & hopefully it reduces the chance of pulling any back muscles lifting them up for the splitter...
Bill... :~)
WILLSON! Great video Mike and Melissa thumbs up.
The Renewable Resources Processing Center is looking Good. Great Job Mike.
Cut that wood Mike great Job!!!!!!👌👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Mike showin off his excavator skills! 💪
Excavator looks like a praying mantis with that splitter on the front!
Mike and Melissa are excellent in everything they attempt. It's a real joy to watch all their videos!
Mike is a good at it. I love watching him on the skid loader. So smooth. I've learned a lot from watching him. Dave
Good morning Morgans! Nice to see things coming along, can’t wait to see your new saw and shed!
Hope all is well, stay safe and God bless! Hello to Hunter, Eva and Melissa!🙏🎚🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Practice, practice, practice. That's all it take's Melissa. You're a great videographer. Lower wood yard looks good. Can't wait to see the fireworks. Stay safe.
Great video. Fantastic video angles, Melissa. Very satisfying to see Mike’s work and hear the crunch of the big logs. Strong work! Have a productive day everyone.
You are costing me a fortune Mike! Since starting to watch your channel about 18 months ago we have continued to expand our firewood side project and after watching you use the skid loader, we are seriously thinking about getting a 75HP model, one size smaller than yours. You cant buy a half decent second hand machine here in Australia for less than AU$55,000 at the moment so a new one at around AU$75 is looking like a good option.
Hi Jonathan, where about's are you? I live in Tassie, firewood is a never ending issue, I am currently building a zip line to get wood out of the steeper parts of the property.
@@seanworkman431 we are in central Victoria near Beaufort. We have 3000 acres of undulating farming land that is mostly Redgum country running up into the hills on the Great Dividing Range where the timber changes to box, stringy bark and mesmate. We cut and split mostly windfall Redgum. We cut, split and sell about 100 metres a year, mostly locally in ISO shuttle crates; similar to what Mike & Melissa do but we only cut 2 x 2 rungs out on one site as we loose stack the split wood. We use a Superaxw W4150 with an elevator and split straight into the crates. I use husquvanah’s, I run an XP394 & XP395 with 28” bars, and an XP3120 with a 36” bar. I run semi chisel .404 chain on all. We use our 395C Cat excavator with a grab, and a couple of our farm tractors with loaders to handle the wood. I prefer to bring 10-12’ logs to the splitter, these vary in diameter from 18” to 50”. 2 foot blocks cut off a 50” Redgum log fills a crate, but we have to lift them onto the splitter with the excavator and grab. To big to manage by hand, 300-400kg each!
You got me with the title . I was like hmm what did he do put the splitter in the building and take the rounds up there LOL
Forgot about the splitfire attachment.
Pretty neat watching you place the rounds then split them with that attachment .makes it much easier that breaking yours or mellisas backs lifting on those monsters.
You definitely know how to save the body and use the machines to do as much of the work as you possibly can .
It’s ALL good! I realized just the other day that I really enjoy watching you use the equipment because for the most part I recognize the equipment but you are constantly showing HOW it is used & we get to see all the techniques that make a good job❗️ Thanks for the class! Marcus from… at the moment Chesapeake VA but my heart is in Florida.
Hey, Florida Packed this Year for some reason the Yankees did not go home. The road a just as bad as Winter. My family has property up in the Hunt Country Delaplane Va. off Carr Ln. Willard Scott was one of their neighbors.
Mike sure has an affinity with machinery, he is so smooth and precise no matter what he is operating.
Love the 8 am release!

In the first video you did with this splitter I was skeptical it would add value. I had mentioned maybe if they were all laid out where you could just grab without repositioning each one out would save time. After watching this I think at the very least it likely is about the same amount time or saves a bit but it certainly saves your back and a lot of sweat doing it this way.
Morning Mike and Melissa and children
Is a pull behind roller with water in it worth it
Totally with you on the cast away movie!
The Worst!
I think u need to look in to those wood processors . He can run it with a remote so he can b in what ever he wants. Have u seen that guy with a remote wood chipper he loads it with excavator with ac/heat and it’s on tracks too.
Camera work.... at the end with sun rays coming through the trees and gravel dust....... Beautiful Melissa. Takes a good eye to see and adjust for the 'shot' well done, this type of video just reinforces my thoughts that THIS is my Favorite channel. Thank You OWTM.
Thank you Jeff thank you very much
Mike and Melissa, good job! I love you returning to your property. Melissa, I used to watch my mom ice cakes and you are exactly correct with your comparison. Everything is cleaning up nicely!
Thank you Rex
The precision you demonstrate with that excavator bucket and splitter is pretty sick! I can't tell if it's the excavator or the skid loader you get the most utility and pleasure, either way, I enjoy coming along for the ride. Thank you for your family and your hard work ethic, it's refreshing.
Good morning Morgan's you are using your head and saving your back presplitting the wood and saving your back awesome videos
Good morning Hunter 😸 and family and friends 😸😺
Good evening friend
@@HallnoutMhall / Good evening friend 🙂
Goodmorning from BUCKS COUNTY pa. Looks awesome 👌. Have a day friend.
You do such a good job operating your equipment, I was wondering did you go to school on opersting equipment or is it just experience, trial and error.
Melissa being saucy about dinner 🤣 Ayyyyye.
Mike hope you and your family are enjoying those mulberries too. I have 5 trees near me they taste great .
Just don’t eat the white frosted ones...
Man U got to have a ton of money because I believe you have every toy that there is out there. You have one of the best set of any one I have ever seen. And u r good at every one of them great job young man. Enjoy watching you two work.
Nice!!! Work smarter not harder. Nice process.
The US Navy had a 500% increase for pilot enlistment after the first Top Gun movie. The Navy is hoping for another large turnout in enlistment after the 2nd movie.
Really appreciate you guys! Thanks for your solid, no nonsense content. Have a great 4th!
Mike as we get older we get smarter and think things out before we do the work! I know that's what I do so I can function the next day. 😂 Great video once again!!
That castaway was like watching paint dry
Mike, I enjoy you moving the work rounds like a Chess player moving the chess pieces on the chess board. You’re a master at it.
When the pool gets in Mike will work in his swimming shorts! Blessings
It looked like you were playing chess with the blocks!
I wish I had an excavator to play Lincoln logs with!! lol!
I did not know that such an attachment existed for splitting logs. What a back saver!
all looking good Mike. Your time is well spent
Pretty slick with the machinery there Mike. Great video. 🪵
Seems like Hunter is a good supervisor. Man, you got it made!
Yes you are good at it Mike!! Enjoy your content! Stay safe!
Mike is really good at running machinery! But dug himself a bit hole asking about dinner! 😂😂😂
I'm impressed with your Excavator dexterity !!
Practice makes perfect. He loves spreading him some stone! Its looking great around there.
Looking great. Hope y’all are doing well.
What you do with your equipment is an art! Melissa is right, you are very good at it. Have a wonderful day!
In fact, Mike is a natural 👌, good job and thank you for all the sharing
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 23 Jun 22.
What’s the update on the Hexa chain ??? I’m excited to get my hands on some when they come out.
Melissa, you should never say "Surprise me", to a guy when it comes to making dinner! Possum stew, road kill cuisine, you just never know!!!
BTW Melissa, been meaning to tell you......Awesome camera work lately!!!
Yes Mam Melissa,,,,,,That thought goes through my head a lot while watching him do his thing.......You are absolutely good at it Mike!!!!!
