Mike, you have a good thing going there. You run the tractor and the levers on the splitter and Melissa does all the lugging of the wood. Hydraulic Mike and Manual Labor Melissa. You're a great team!

Nice Work adding more to the Firewood Pile in a short order!!👊👍

Good Morning Morgans. Love seeing you guys working and spending time together.

I love the sound of the wood splitting itself! Great video! Thank you for showing so much of the work that you do!

What a blessing. To have a wife who enjoys the outdoors along side you and is such a hard worker. 😁

Mellisa, you are lucky to have a great husband like Mike. He is a great worker and is already thinking about the anniversary. He seems very mindful. Cherish him!!!

My wife and I and 4 month old will see ya at the show! Excited to meet both of you! Great videos!

MIKE, I'm impressed by yinz guys that you can manage time so well, AND produce a quality video almost daily! Always good stuff!

Great team work.

I swear I said something about an ultimate setup with a conveyer about a year ago. Now today you have that setup.

Ok lets see about Melissa running the chain saw and log splitter and Mike doing the grunt work???? What do Yall think?

I have been cutting firewood for me, my dad and now my son since about 1976. I used to borrow an old Cornell splitter which is only a horizontal splitter. Now my son and I have a County Line 27 ton splitter which is both horizontal and vertical. For the past two seasons we have used a small wood processor and really like how it works for us. So far we can split just about any size log we have delivered. We all choose the method that works best for us and you have a great operation.

My opinion is that it's your wood, your yard, your sweat, and therefore whatever is your pleasure.

I will see you all next week at Paul Bunyan! It was a pleasure meeting you guys last year!

Good morning, Mick from the big island here, Missy you get an A+ on backing up today and oh, way too hustle on the fire wood today! Not a betting man but, Missy if you ever enter an arm wrestling contest I'm betting on you.

Love the shirt, Melissa! My garage is just outside The Rock!

Melissa gets two thumbs up from me. I think you are a lucky man.

Hey Morgans this is 9 year old Lilyana my dad and I LOVE to watch your videos.😃

Hey Mike and Melissa, great day started with the “Fox Patrol” on watch !! I really don’t think your method of gathering and processing firewood needs any improvements. The equipment you have and use so much is a fantastic set up and well manufactured for years of operation. Everything is well represented by your honesty. Really enjoyed seeing Melissa spot the figure of a human inside the cut off log and sharing that with us. You both are doing a fantastic job around there. Thank you for the many hours of entertainment you have given too many that have gone down the same trail with you ! You are all a blessing to You Tube and to us. Have fun in Cambridge at The Paul Bunyan Festival. Maybe next year?

I have the Wolfe Ridge 35 SHO and I split a LOADED 12FT dump trailer on my own in 1.5 hr. I spent more time loading the log lift then actually splitting. People should deffinatly get one

Mike, all of that equipment is awesome but doesn't compare to the help that you're getting from Melissa. I am doing basically the same thing as you, getting home from work , cutting firewood off of a stock pile and selling around 30-40 cords a year using chainsaws and American CLS splitter, no elevator, no help, it's my gig. Occasionally I do have a helper. Another person makes a huge difference, especially when you're both on the same page as the 2 of you are. I'm envious of your set up, can't see myself with a processor either, although at times i think that it would work out. Keep up the good work, I look for your very helpful and informative video's every evening. Thank's for letting us into the going's on at the Morgan Family Ranch.

Great video. Hope to make it to Paul Bunyan

Your system is a sound one Mike & Melissa. It works real well... Generally speaking, I too cut my rounds where the tree falls or drag them out to an easier working spot. I try to avoid dragging as much as possible to keep the wood clean, with some exceptions... I hope to meet Chris in the spring at the Essex Jct. Expo here in Vermont in 2020. The BTR carryall seemed to handle dragging the cherry easily enough. I'm still considering getting one but I may build my own 1st for about a 1/4 the cost of Tim's unit. My thinking is the (5) gal. pails of salted sand I use for spreading would be better suited in a wooden carryall versus a metal one, so in the end, I just may end up with (2) carryalls! Bill on the Hill... :~)

You have a great system and you can stockpile rounds now and be able to split in the winter when the woods are sloppy. You are right about travel time when cutting poles at the renewable energy center is less efficient. Great teamwork when working at the splitter

My GF broke a nail watching this video.... Thanks for the Video!

Good video, enjoyed watching it. You sure get a lot of work done after work. more than some guys get done in a whole day. Thanks for the video.

Why haul the rounds in the dump trailer? Take the splitter and conveyor over, fill the dump trailer with split wood, then dump that near the pile to stack. Great videos. Love your setup, very jealous...but I get ideas, too!! :)

Mike I think you should just buy a feller buncher and program it to saw to length straight into the dump trailer then haul it up and split it! Show them west coast guys how to get it done.

I wish they had shows like the Paul Bunyan show down in Louisiana.

Another great vid guys! Really appreciate the obvious effort you guys put into them to make them so fun and entertaining! Love the shot of the little toy soldier on the fence, well done!!

Awesome video. Enjoyed it 👍👍👍❤️

Great job enjoyed that

Good job on backing up, You own it!

Mike & Melissa I am planning to come out to the Paul Bunyan show next Saturday and look forward to meeting you. Another informative Video.

I use a new Peterbilt dump. Dump truck to haul firewood.

Melissa and the Stihl getting a good workout! You have a good teamwork going on... I’m liking that splitter! Thanks for the video - they are fun to watch!

I live in NM. Nothing straight past a few inches. It's a real pain getting firewood.

I really like the setup you have for splitting wood it works out great

Melissa, you rock girl! Great video...

You are really good backing up as long as there are no garage doors around you to hit lol

Oh Mike nice with anniversary! I make comments like that to, just to remind myself when it is... You got it down to February...

Next time (which often happens to you ....) of a very long trunk cut, I suggest: 1 the tractor holds the trunk up 2 the operator cuts into pieces; 3 you, on the wagon, step back slowly, a little after each piece cut, the piece make it fall directly on the platform! First on one side then on the other. You will avoid too many bends !!

Good shows.💪 Nice.😆

If you ever plan on coming to the real north like Northern Michigan. Please let us know. I know we have some outdoorsmen up here that would to meet all of you from down south. We are known as Trolls up here for we live under the bridge. Enjoy you videos.

Love the Army dude!!! Actually doing some Army training in your State right now. Love the 261! Had an 026 and they are just a great saw. Your grapple is so cheating on the wood cutting 😊👍!

Nice camera work in the beginning.

Melissa has to be the hardest working woman on RU-vid not one to shy away from any work

See you guys at the show! Im picking up my Wolfe ridge splitter there can’t wait! #WorldsOkayestFarmer

I've been wanting to check that Paul Bunyan festival out. Unfortunately, the farmtruck has the new tires and the wifey don't like to ride in it. 😂😂

Awesome job, video and music. Hopefully you guys can attend some sort of show in the southeast US so that more subscribers in this area can meet y'all. That would be awesome. Maybe NC, SC or GA?

The Greene County Firewood Ministry will be attending the Paul Bunyan Show. We hope to be able to discuss the firewood industry with professionals. We currently deliver 800 cords of firewood each season to needy families in our county. A couple of us follow your channel so we hope to meet you all also.

I loved seeing the turkeys in your woods! For what ever reason we have NOT been seeing as many birds as in years past. We use to have winter flocks that numbered more than sixty in our woods on the farm. Now, we are lucky to see four or five! I am suspecting that predation on the nest is the largest problem. Between the racoons, FOXES, coyotes, skunks, etc., the nesting hens don't stand much of a chance. I sure wish fur prices would climb like they were in the early 70s. That would fix the predator issue for sure!!!

Really going all in on the wood thing. Be carefull you might have to change channel to Firewood with the Morgans. All the equipment is awsome. Im a little jealous got to tell you. Dont forget the mini cabin / sporting clays / target shooting / hiking / biking / hunting /golf / ???? Dont want to be all work and no play. The little soldier with you going off to war was great. I really enjoy your camera work. You all have a safe day !!!

good move with the grapple mike

Do you have any sheds or barn for the tractors and implements? If not where would you put them?

would sure like to see you try a Husky saw on the channel

💪❤️👍

Getting a Wolfe Ridge would only be a small part of the solution though; what none of us have is Melissa.

Planning on going to the Paul bunion festival..hoping to meet you guy's there.we have property close to there

Wish I had the RK tractor with the Grappler, would save my back when cutting logs! Could you mention in a video if you have any issues with bears on your property!

for the fans of dragging poles to the log splitter and cutting them there, unless there is a need to drag, like getting them off a hillside in todays video, dragging is a tough one. Any time I have drug poles, I end up with mud on the wood and cutting through mud quickly dulls the chain on the chainsaw. It actually creates more work instead of less. There's no right or wrong. everyone has their way that makes it enjoyable for them. That's just my experience.

It’s called double heat wood. Hot when your cutting and splitting plus stacking. Hot when you burn it in your own home.

Sounds like ur getting a skeleton bucket. Good for screening top soil as well.

Mike you don't need a processor you already have one, Melissa can load wood as fast as that splitter unloads she is awesome. Also you might want to start listening to Hunter because he seems to know what's going on when nobody else does!

Mike, it's what is or works best for you. You got a super cool set up and for what you do, it'll last a long time and be a great asset for you to make things a lot easier and even maybe a bit quicker. Melissa, You got it. I mean you got what it takes to make a better day for everyone and I know Mike is very thankful for that. Your smile is what I'm talking about, A smile does wonders. I know because if when I meet a total stranger and if I don't leave with a smile on that person's face then I feel that I done something wrong. There are a lot of good God loving people out there and I can tell you and Mike are that kind of people. You can't beat a channel that's as good as this. I smile every time I see any video. Loving couple and family. I feel blessed to met you all through this channel. Have fun and be safe at the Paul bonyon ( Can't spell that ) this weekend. I feel you will get to meet a of of folks that are like us, have the same common ground...loving the outdoors and life. God Bless Michael from NW North Carolina

I starting singing Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty "Stop Draggin' My Log Around" at 1:35

How come Melissa does all the heavy lifting ?

Mike..next time you hook chain to the ball go under the hitch up an cross over the top..wont come unhooked...try it...john

Is that locking pin still hiding in the grass under the splitter? Another great video, Morgans!

Are there any mid Pennsylvania type shows we easterners can attend?

Haven’t seen the Mingo marker in awhile. Do you still use it or are you just that good at eyeballing?! Love the WolfeRidge....super efficient! I’m $aving for a good splitter to do 3-4 cords a year. Great video!

Almost at 100k on subscribers 😁

Another great video. Do you check the moisture content of the fire wood ? You have a great set up and you both make an awesome team.

Is it possible to get one of these to Germany?

NICE SEEING TURKEYS AND DEER ON YOUR PROPERTY. SAY HI TO HUNTER. FOR ME.

So that's what heartwood looks like :-)

👍

You should take the splitter and conveyor to the neighbors. Then haul home and dump less handling that way.

I’m done telling you two kids to cover your eyes

Your making my back sore watching you load that wood Melissa. I think I better lay down for a minute or five. 🥵

I didn't think Melissa was bored either. I was watching her while Mike was talking about firewood, she was constantly staring!! She's exhausted I'm guessing. Take a break girlfriend!! .

How do you like that MS261?

Bored, Melissa? Steal the scene, he's always talking! Keep smiling.

I got a turkey here with a beard so long he has to walk backwards to keep from tripping over it.

Hey Mike you are a turkey a love yourself it looks like it's working great not Melissa she does really impressive she works her butt off great team see you at the Paul Bunyan Daniel Boone have a good one

Mike, what’s your secret, you drive around on the tractor and your hot wife does all the heavy work?

구독 좋아요. 꾸우욱 🤔 From South Korea. Dec 4 2020

I love the plastic (stapled in) Soldier....Is that part of your security system ? Have you had any trespassers caught on camera yet , scouting on your property ?

To bad you could not just move the unloader and spliter as a unit and just stack everything near where your spliting

Any news on the 'HuntersWood' project

Start burning, 44 degrees tonight

I wouldn't split any of it for my outside Woodburn

Nice to see “The Rock” my alma mater!!!

why don't you cut the wood into the dump trailor dump it at the splitter put the dump trailor under the wood belt lift and let it fill up

“I didn’t hit anyone” your not trying hard enough 🤣

So when are you going to teach your daughter how to use a power saw

as Melissa said too you she quick and your so dame slow young Mike lol

man, i really like all the tractors,grapple,and chainsaws and stuff but i love that wolf ride. i am trying my best to justify buying one but i only cut wood for myself and dont have time to cut to sell. i think a grapple for my rk55 would be more beneficial for me. hopefully next spring im gonna buy one ot the other. wish me luck and yall HAVE A DAY👍👍👍👍👍

You guys are just awesome...best channel on RU-vid by far👍

Just thinking of all the time spent to make a great video. The time setting up and moving cameras, editing, commenting etc. Thanks for sharing a piece of your day with us.
