My dad was a master carpenter. He passed away in 2017. I see the videos of you and your son and would give anything to have my dad just 1 more day.

I find as time passes and I continue as a loyal viewer of”Outdoors with the Morgan’s” your videos content has expanded to newer introductions of people with similar interests such as logging, firewood, sawmills, trucks, tractors, and your to the point commentary on public and political trends. Everything I’m into. Take care and God Bless. From your friends in Northern Vermont.

I agree about firewood poles being the most productive method of production. Even better if you obtain them through tree work you’ve been paid for!! We save all wood that’s deemed worthy from one year of our tree work. We stage it throughout the year as it comes in. Then we rent a Dyna SC-15 and work it all up in two to three days. This year we did approximately 40 cord in 2 and a half days. We have a skid loader to feed it, and an old corn elevator to assist in distributing the wood so we don’t have to move the processor. We keep the processor conveyor belt flat to pull out undesired pieces. I run it, my boss/partner feeds it, his dad sorts the off cuts and chaff with boss helping him between feeding rounds. Rental cost was $1100. Not worth mentioning the minimal fuel cost.

Good morning ya’ll … from the great state of Texas. Hope everyone has a blessed day. Got our chores done … animals fed , and about to drive up to our grand daughters farm for a crawfish boil and to shoot a little skeet with my son , son in law and three grandsons in law. We are having a party as my oldest grandson is home on leave . He’s in the Army and it’s been awhile since we’ve seen him.

I've always been a music man and do music vids on my channel, but my second love has always been wood. I just enjoy watching how you've developed your land and your wood business. There's something that's peaceful about watching you split the firewood and cut the boards on the saw mill. I'd love to do both, but at my age that's not going to happen lol! So I get to enjoy it thru you. Thanks for the vids!

Agree on getting wood brought to you Mike. I used to go out into the back 40, fell the tree, limb and buck it. Then figure out how the heck to get the tractor to it to skid it out since my forest is super dense. It easily doubles the time to process a cord. Now I’m blessed to have a connection with a local tree service right down the street so he brings me more wood than I know what to do with. Sometimes I have to tell him to stop for a few weeks so I can get caught up. It’s all very high quality too. But it is still fun to go drop a tree every once in a while and skid it out.

The best part about buying your logs versus cutting down your own , you don't have to deal with or worry about the widowmakers .

Looking good! The equipment used to do the fencing is amazing. When I was a kid, we used …good old post hole digger’s. Those things kept you in shape, and toughened you up on the farm. Even if you put on gloves, you would still get blisters from a long day… until you got the calluses!

Nice to see Levi in the last two videos!

Good morning Morgan's from sunny Prince Edward Island Canada 🇨🇦. We are finally getting some warm weather and leaves on the trees. We cut the grass for the first time this year and now are setting up the deck for the summer.

I envy your tractor skills, Mike Morgan, but I'll tell you what . . . My neighbor came over with his Kubota 57-4 excavator and pushed over about 20 trees on my future home build site. My MX5400 and brush grapple has been a godsend with the clean up. Thank you for showcasing that tractor in your videos. It has helped me immensely on my acreage, be it plowing snow, grading our access road and driveway, brush hogging, or brush and log cleanup. Thanks for all you do to educate us woodsy folks! Question, is the key to burning stumps just to keep adding leaf/needle laden brush on top of it? I am having a heck of a time burning all my stumps.

I envy the availability of hardwoods for firewood. Living in the Mountains of Southern Colorado, we only have access to pine and aspen. Burns good but very fast. 2 wood stoves eat 2-3 cords each every season. I have a niece & husband who have a saw mill about 100 miles away. I get 2.5 cords at a very good price. Much better than harvesting off my mountain. Keep it up Mike and Crew

That Levi got his dad's working genes. The new gate cuts all the sketchy road section you always had to travel out. Very good move.

I think it would help whoever is splitting the wood if you could find a big steel table to stack the rounds on with the excavator. No more bending over would be nice for everyone. Get a big one that can hold about 20 or 30 of them at a time.

I would like to hear you and Levi both talking sometime about the business.

Mike you talk about wood the way most guys talk about woman,,,”That’s such nice stuff, just beautiful” talking about the newly cut red oak. 😊

Mike I was inspired by you to get the WB rake with my KX057-5 in March of this year, but I got it paired with a WB thumb and D-Lock coupler. I’ve not had any issues with the pairing. I’ve also found the rake to be REALLY useful. Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

Remembering the fire wood processor with the conveyor for feeding rounds, have you considered loading the rounds into your dump trailer, perhaps with a stop bar across the opening, and raising to feed rounds to splitter? Reduces walking to get the rounds and how high you"d have to lift them. Part of the work smarter program.

Mike and Melissa, Thank you both for the entertaining video. Both You and the Fencing Crew did an excellent job setting the posts and cementing them in preparation of the installation of the 18 ft gate. Levi does a fantastic job on splitting and ranking up the rounds of firewood. I can see your practicality and approach to purchasing the firewood and lumber poles versus harvesting the majority of the trees yourself. With the time and effort and costs . It would possibly balance the deal out or end up more economical in the long run. This plan would definitely increase firewood and lumber production for sure.
