It amazes me that you have so many projects of your own yet you still go help your neighbor. Good job, Mike!
Buckin' Billy Ray would be proud of your "Being kind" to your neighbor. Way to go Mike!
Imagine the world if countries worked together , as one. Imagine .
I'm still enjoying going back and seeing what I've missed... "Love you guys".
Lookin Great Mike nearly ready for Seed!!👍👊
I like using box blade for backfilling..comes out perfect everytime. Good work grandpa Mike!
last time I checked, he's not Grandpa yet!
Edge Tamers from R2 Manufacturing. They were actually made for snow but work well with picking up dirt without damaging the lawn.
Great tip abot taking pics from different angles , also Awesome tunes !!!!!!
I always learn when I watch you operate your tractors. I have improved my skill using the loader/bucket on my sub-compact, and watching you has given me a few more tips. Thank you for that. It certainly translates to the larger tractors that I run on occasion. I think the most important thing that I have learned not only from you but also others... patience and take your time. I don't do any of my tractor work for a living, so I can take my time and I have found that when I go slower I get better results.
A manager that I worked for at one time had a saying that is true in this case. "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast".
It's the flip side of "haste makes waste."
Looks great. We ran a trace wire like they do with gas line. That little RK is impressive!
Copper wire?
I just got the new RK 24 and backhoe last weekend. We already did two french drain projects at the house. It worked out awesome! It's a tank!
You make running a loader look so easy. I still gouge things occasionally but I'm getting better. Nice job and thanks for sharing. Tell Melissa, Eva, and Hunter I said hello! Also thanks for sending me over to Buckin' Billy Ray! He's a riot and always in a fantastic mood.
Buckin is Great
Thanks Mike !! Ever notice how the moon effects how much you get out and how much fill it takesto fill the hole !!!
Nice job Mike... The little tractor is a genuine workhorse! Rain started at 11:00 am today as I got out at 7:15 am & got all my fields mowed by 9:45 am... ( 2nd mowing this season )
Yesterday I installed a new 3 point trailer mover ( TSC ) which has a 2" receiver with a 2 5/16" ball at the top of the post. I slid a 2" Reese with a 2" ball into the receiver. I'm good to go now as my splitter tables will no longer hit my chained up rears when making turns...
Bill... :~)
Great ground work on Sherman, that tractor does get it's fair share of work and then some. I was watching your neighbor and you could tell that the two of you gave worked together and both knew what each other was doing. It's great to have a sidekick like that. Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy the videos!
Thanks for letting me watch you work. I have learned a lot. Your videos have given me the knowledge and confidence to tackle many jobs around the farm I have been hesitant to attempt. Work more sit less!
I've been trying to convince my wife for two years now that we need a subcompact tractor. A lot more would get done around here. Thanks for the video 👍👍
A must have especially when get older. Without the backhoe your at a measly 220 a month, and that's with insurance. You'll save that not having to go to the chiropractor
Perfect timing! I just finished doing this yesterday. I drive over the ditch several times, but today it caved in, in several places.
was it wet?
dynocompe no, but it rained that night and I think the crumbs settled and filled any voids.
cliffs pool is looking really good, hope to see the finished product soon. HAVE A DAY👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You did a great job I can see you doing it professionly for a living keep up the good work helping friends has a great reward in life enjoy it for however long you can life's a gift and friends are few and far between so help thiy neighbor and you'll get back ten fole ok
Have you considered adding a steering knob to the steering wheel? Made a world of difference in my ability to operate the tractor when using the front end loader and the box blade. NO blisters on the ball of the hand.
Yea I should get one of those
Like your hand on the controls, sure and easy. Cliff has a good friend in you and you him. Waiting to see how the end results turn out with this endeavor then Splish Splash!
That's pretty impressive what a little tractor can do
Hi Hunter man mike you make that look so easy. I love that little tractor and I’m glad to see it in more videos keep up the good work Morgan’s.
Nice and level finish, you're a boss on that thing.
Love watching your tractor videos and in fact Sherman inspired me last fall to buy my very first tractor at the tender age of 71. Been having a blast with it
Pictures I agree with, however if he did do a tv cable and should have laid; for extra future location assurance is a tracer wire!
I get the biggest kick out of helping my neighbors with my sub compact John Deere. And I agree about taking pictures, I always do. You never know when you’ll need to look back and see where you dug a trench.
I get a kick out of the sample drop of the vocal on that moan track you use over the work stuff. Don't second guess that stuff Mike, like you say everybody has different tastes so just go what pleases you aesthetic sensibility. A song can get used too much over time sometimes but I get the feeling that is something you're aware of as well. It's all working!
Nice job. I like seeing dirt instead of mud. We almost had dirt, then got .6" of rain yesterday, which is the stuff you got last night, probably.
Thanks for all your videos. Sat on my first RK 24 yesterday in Morristown Tn. Rural King is coming to Bristol Va in the fall and I am buying the RK24 based on your videos. Thanks for the content.
Make sure one of those lines (or 4) are Ethernet! Data lines can run basically anything now a days from cameras to locks to communication systems for pool filtration and so much more. Anytime I'm digging and laying conduit if I'm not putting data in I leave atleast half the pipe open and run a few pull strings.
Love the little tractors. Job looks good so far can't wait for up date say hi to your son for us
Looking good Mike! Sherman can do it all, for sure. But it also takes a good operator to make him work. Nice video!
Also, good tip about documenting everything as you go. We built our house 2 years ago and took as many pictures as we could. It is amazing how soon you forget where things were. The pictures are life savers.
After a 40+ year in telecommunications, I have had the pleasure of working with two men like you describe. It is like we were clones or one mind a 4 arms. Luckily I worked with both of these guys a long time. Unfortunately, they are both gone from this world now. The amount of productivity that can be produced in this situation is like the saying the sum is greater than the parts. Also as you mention, you can work with folks like this and chit/chat, because there is no need to talk about the work at hand. Another great soundtrack.
I absolutely love the music plugged into these videos.
An even better idea is to have Mike come over with the RK and do the work for me, then later when I'm trying to remember where those buried lines are I can just go to UA-cam and watch the video... piece of cake.
Very skilled operator, nice job Mike. Great video again. Hi Hunter 👍🏴Hi from North Wales.
Excellent job! I just watched while on vacation in Mrytle Beach. Backhoes are awesome....
Nice job
You did a heck of a good job grading with that front bucket, not an easy task & one I haven't yet mastered!
what? no button shirt? haha. Like the new T-Shirt. I love your projects. you always point out tips and things to watch for like trying to leave the sod intact when scraping off dirt. I appreciate cliff letting you film this and also the video you did a while back of his trophy room. what a fascinating back story that was.
Thanks Dan
Liked music credits. I liked a song on a past vidio and looked it up by the words in the song. I lived in the Berg for 40 years before moving to Florida. I still have the accent.
Mike, That RK24 I think it is...That's a tough little beast. I have a Kubota B-7300 HST with front end loaded, scrape blade, box blade, bush hog, grooming mower, and what I call a boom lift. That B-730 I nicknamed the "beast" is like that. That thang ( thing ) strong for its size. I know about how handy a compact or even a sub-compact tractor is, about like a pocket on a shirt. I for one enjoy the outdoors just about as much as you do. There's no place I'd rather be.
Anyway, that is a super nice rig. I came across this video and wanted to share my thoughts or comment that these little tractors are stout. Mine is over 18 years old and shows but still going.
Good to see you again. have a wonderful rest of the week.
Michael from NW North Carolina
Just to add Mike, any important documents you may create or need in the future should be filed with the local county office. That is the safest place to store things. If you lose your copy, you can always go down and for a few bucks print off a legal copy.
I must have some good speakers. I swear I could smell that fresh dirt. lol That was some good music you were playing too.
Nice Job Mr Morgan you are such an Awesome worker.🙏
Pick mine up this coming Sunday, loader and 60" belly mower.
I love your videos!!! I want a RK 37....!!!
I've loved Blues my whole life but only Funk can make me want to move. Your soundtracks are spot on. :D
Funk likes funk too!
Spot on fer sure, that music was great, who was it ??
I was impressed with how nice the RK 24 worked too. It’s nice that your neighbor knows how to help and isn’t afraid to touch the shovel and rake. Do all the loader controls on the tractors feel like they are good quality? On my older John Deere 955 it is kind of hard to lower the bucket with a heavy load if you are doing precise work.
I'm impressed by the autothrottle . Wish my Kubota L had that.
I really like the auto throttle as well
Just a tip but a strong back pack blower works great for pushing the loose dirt back out out of the grass into the dug area. Looks good.
I will try that, Have the BR800
Nice work Mike, I have noticed that in USA generally the front bucket on tractors are not the 4 in 1 type, in Australia where Iam from its unusual to see a tractor that does not have a 4 in 1 front bucket. Once you have had a 4 in 1 bucket you never go back to a standard bucket.
NICE JOB MIKE LOOKS GREAT
Perfect job for Sherman. Always good to see neighbors helping neighbors. Something you don't see much these days. What was the white tape you put in the ditch?
Put about 8" of fill in then the Tape to let anyone know in the future there is a line there
Really good I idea documenting everything for possible future future reference 👍
I finally got out to a Rural King (closest is 20 miles away) the RK 55 is bigger than I thought. Even the RK 24 is way bigger than I could use here on my less than 1/4 acre lot.
Hi,can you do an instructional video on how to take off and attach the underneath lawn mower. Thank you
That little tractor does a good job
You made that look really nice. Very skilled operator.
looking good Mike I got my go pro and learning a lot will try to do a video of my equipment and send it to ya
Those RK Tractors are nice. We don't have any RK dealers here in Minnesota.
That would be a super handy machine to have
Great video!
What I'm about to say is the reason why I watch... I would have worked that totally from the side like you were at first - proly leaving a hump for soil to settle eventually; but after watching you it made me realize you were doing it a better way in back filling from the length of the trench keeping the tractor's weight on the backfill compressing as you went along - no hump. Learn something new everyday...😉👍👍
Hello from Michigan. I did a trench for my pool by hand. Granted it wasn't as long, but it was about 15' long, and 24"deep. I had the gas line ran by a company. 5-6years later, it looks wonderful can't even tell . BTW , did you ever take Hunter to get his lunch? What did he get. You have a wonderful family. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing the next video. 👍
Also, I just yesterday I showed my contractor pictures of my underground to my detached garage that I buried about 10 years ago. We determined it’ll be in the way but at least he could see what he’s in for.
I hope you got a beer for all that!
MIKE, I see the attention to details all around. Your steppin up your game on the editing. I really liked the addition of 'scrolling message' on the bottom of the screen, which had great information.
The music choice.... was different, but good ! Video content ....educational,
Tractor work, ...your Definitely a pro at it 'Boss'. I enjoy the videos yinz guys produce.!!
Thanks John!
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans MIKE, love watching a professional do a job well, thats how I learn stuff. (is there anything thing you CAN'T do well? LOL!!!) 75,000 subs!
I'm sure yinz guys will hit your 100,000 goal before yinz'er Grandparents!
I know one thing if you hang around Mike long enough you'll lean something. Great job on the rough in lawn. I sure have leaned a lot from this channel. Keep them coming
Your a good man or “you are great man Charlie Brown.”
You're, I think, ha ha
Drone shot from above on the yard would also show the trench for your files.
Man,,,everyone in that neighborhood are workers. Ron
Great job enjoyed that!!!!
Cliff better be supplying the Morgan family 7/24 passes to that pool in perpetuity!
BTW, like Mike getting his funk on with this music!
Excellent job
Hey Mike! Hope you're having a good day today. Great video of Sherman however for the first time I would like to complain just a little LOL. They sell many attachments for Sherman and I would like to see them used as some of us cannot afford the rk37 and would really like to know how a box blade, and some of the other actual working attachments do. I understand this may put you slightly behind as the bigger tractors do much more work but I would love to see Sherman doing some of that if you could make that possible I'm quite positive a lot of us out here would appreciate it! Thanks and as always great video and keep them coming
I wish they sold a subcompact in the UK with a proper backhoe rather than a 3 point, they look so much better
Are you guys not required to bury a tracer wire in PA? Sort of eliminates the need for any other means of locating the path of the buried utilities.
@2:40. I see a lot of people put caution tape in the ditch before back filling too. :)
@ Ray Z. That is an old trick that has been around for awhile... Makes for a good reference if you have to dig it up again further down the road. I very seriously doubt Mike is doing this work for free however, no doubt he is giving his friend & neighbor a good deal on this project & maybe some bartering on the firewood it produced. The priceless part about this job is the care taken & clean finish he has left behind after everything is said & done... :~)
Makes for a good reference if someone is digging around it too. Ideally the tape comes to the top of the ground before you dig into the conduit and damage it. He does do good work don't he, lol?
Like your videos keep up the good work.
First time commenting.
From a little place called Carleton place ON Canada.
Thanks!
Are the controls the same on all the RKs, so there isn’t a different learning curve for each tractor?
Summer is officially here in central MD; hazy, hot, and humid, lightning bugs and I heard my first annual cicada. 😎
Nothing better than steaks, sweet corn-on-the-cob, MD blue crabs and Natty Boh on the picnic table. 👍 🦀
hi there well i can't decide if in your previous life you were a beaver or a ground hog . your good at cutting down trees and good at moving dirt . be well john ps you should get a winchester 10 g cannon for your 4th party if you don't already have one . its a blast
A nice job there mike, a back hoe attachment is something I shall be looking into, thanks for sharing.
How much dozer power does it have and what all can they do on any acre of land
I operated a cat 950 and cat D8 and 9 for year. That tonka would just aggravate the crap outta me
Probably but I doubt you would be backfilling near a house and pool with a D8 lol
When I started years ago I used a small Bob cat. Or cat 315 excavator with a push blade. I started doing driveways and back filling and grading septic systems. Now 30 yrs later I watch the smaller equipment as I'm on major site work . And past 2 yrs have enjoyed my retirement. Help companies I'm still friends with on hiring operators and training of operators and truck drivers
Could you use a small brush hog behind the RK24?
Hmmm. When I designed electrical systems I was told to maintain 6" minimum distance between power and communications.
Sherman is a great little tractor and a bigger one would most likely do damage. Hey is Cliff the guy that travels the world collecting stuffed toys?
That's him!
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Hope you all got a laugh out of that one, he seems like a really great guy.
Did anybody else watch the commercial prior to this video for the PTO plate? Where the guy claimed it takes 40 to 45 minutes to hook up what appears to be a 5 or 7 foot bush hog? Lol
Hey Mike how come you didn't pull the dirt over the trench and then back drag a few times
I am new to your channel. And i am looking to get RK24 and where i am at in Kentucky it's really rocky and some of the work i need to do is on a hill side about a 4 to 5 percent grade. So just wondering if the RK24 be the right size to dig a mile long trench to put in a water line from the meter to the house. And if anyone has any tips on over coming head pressure so i can stop losing water pressure would be grate also. Thanks for the great honest info with your channel.
Mike do you still have the grapple for Sherman? Haven’t seen you use it much.
I do have to ask, "what was the reason for scooping and dropping dirt in the trench versus just pushing dirt in? I am assuming it has to do with a "controlled fill" for putting in the marking trench, but I do not know for sure. Thanks!
Yes, we put a little in, smoothed it up then put the tape in
Hello Mike, just bought a RK24H and wanted to know if I could operate a RK60 Finish Mower behind this Tractor?
Mike that turned out to be an excellent bucket working video! Thanks for that. I do have a question about the tape that Cliff laid into the trench- does it have a metal stripe or something so that you can spot the location with a metal detector later or does it have some other purpose?
Thomas Brighton I was wondering the same thing Tom
Mike I just got a RK 25. It bogs down going up hills. What rpms should I runs at in that situation. I was I low gear and didn't have load. Started at low rpms 1200.
Hey Mike - love the channel. Quick question for you: I have a 20-acre property (mostly wooded), and am looking for a tractor to process wood, navigate wooded trails, general maintenance/landscaping, and most importantly, maintaining a gravel driveway on a 35% grade (at the steepest point). Curious if you think the RK24 would be up to the task?
Hello from wv job well done
