All of your equipment is great but the best part of what you have is Melissa and her willingness to help you.

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.

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

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

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

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!

Yall are an awesome couple, working together !! Love yall!

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

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

Melissa made an great point about preparation, people often forget about the time spent prior to the final product. There is a hardware store down the end of my street, they have most everything but are expensive but to divert to a big chain type store and save a couple of dollars, I've just wasted an hour of my time. You two are a great team, thanks.

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

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

What a great team! The two of you are a force to be reckoned with. Your equipment and the methods you have developed are impressive to watch. Thanks for the video. By the way, I sure enjoyed the walk Melissa took running the dogs (earlier video). Yet again the beauty manifest on your property is just stunning. I thought “fern corners” was such place of solitude, and Melissa has put her personalized stamp on it with her table and bench! And Mike, your maiden voyage of the trailer delivery was sweet to watch. May God bless and keep you safe, and have a Day!

Mike and Melissa as always everyone has an opinion or everyone is an expert. You know what works best for you and your situation. I know nothing about about firewood or sawmills. I really enjoy your video. Thanks from a city slicker up in Ottawa Canada here’s a shout out to Eva, hunter and Hannah 🇨🇦

That's OK Melissa, I was yawning, too. LOL Not because of Mike talking, either. I started my day early this morning and it is catching up to me.

Hope to see you at the Paul Bunyan show and meet Chris.

Good morning Morgan’s. This is like having a friendly neighbor to speak to each morning. Love your videos....don’t see how you are able to maintain the pace but I do enjoy the daily vid.

Great team work.

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

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!!!

I'm just here to watch. I have not a leg to stand when comes why and how you do things. Thanks for sharing.❤

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

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

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

Good morning Melissa, Mike and Hunter the wood master, i now have another addiction must watch you all every morning but it,s ok just love watching you guy,s thank,s so much. My surgery is next wednesday,, looking forward to watching what you have next week love you all.

I will never understand why people feel the need to tell you how to do things. You are a smart guy and you have figured out what works well for you. Just keep doing what you think is best.

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

I haven't laughed that hard in a while 😂 until I saw Melissa turn away and yawn! Trust me, you really love each other when you can get away that!! Yep! Been there, done that!

Thanks M&M! See you next week!

Mike, for you - this set up is just right. It's how you want and work it. That time on splitting the wood with Melissa stacking it on the splliter for ya is very impressive indeed. Waiting on seeing that new bucket in use. Have a safe day and give a HEY to Hunter.

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

Another great video from the Morgans! You are 110 % correct firewood is a lot of work, everyone has there own way on doing things to make it easier some ways are better then others. But I agree cutting it up in the woods is the best because of the mess👍 . I'm hoping I can get the chance to get out to the show coming up. Keep up the awesome videos!

Well done you two. Always learn something and enjoy your videos! Melissa you are a good sport!

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

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

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

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!!

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.

My neighbor here in Ontario has a processor and does over 1000 Bush cords a year. He also has a welder on that thing every weekend repairing weld cracks. Lots of upkeep.

That Slippery Rock shirt brings back memories... I used to spend a week up there every August camping off I-79 just north of Hwy 422.

You do have a nice set-up with the splitter. But I love my processor, no picking up rounds and cutting with chainsaw just take a 14 foot section of tree with the loader and stand there work the levers and wala firewood. Can only handle up to 20 inches that's where your machine comes in. I do have a vertical splitter for anything larger. 👍 enjoy your vidjas

Great video as always...I hope folks truly realize the work you guys put into all this...I’m hoping to have my family meet you all at Paul Bunyan show..be safe out there and God Bless

Melissa, you rock girl! Great video...

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

Great video. Hope to make it to Paul Bunyan

Love it Melissa 💯💯💯💯

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.

You’ve been doing it long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. Keep up the good work.

Mike just do your thing. Works for you. Everyone has a opinion.

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

That’s an awesome machine, if Wolfe Ridge ever made a homeowner model like the TSC Huskee or Speeco kinda style vertical/horizontal splitter for us guys that only split 5-20 cords a year I’d buy one. Maybe you could ask Chris if that’s in the future? Thumbs up

HA!! Kudos to Melissa for rolling her eyes when you said that your anniversary is coming up and she shot you do in flames when she said it is not it is in February!!

I'll be at the show in my booth for Crown Royal Stoves but I'll definitely come over to meet you both and check out the splitters! See ya soon!

Melissa is so awesome a go get her and a beautiful lady . A hard worker.

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... :~)

Loved the video, you both work great together. Hi Hunter and greetings from North Wales 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

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 !!

See you guys there! I’ve been going for years.

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.

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!! :)

When Mike said the way to get the wood rounds from neighbor Cliff’s house @17 minute mark, I already thought that once I saw the pile of wood after the cutdown process.

Good job on backing up, You own it!

Gobble Gobble I see Thanksgiving dinner

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

Awesome video. Enjoyed it 👍👍👍❤️

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

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.

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.

I think Melissa is stronger too lol. Love your videos

Morning Hunter...!!! Mike congratulations you remembered your anniversary even though it was early. I think what you have as a setup is great with exception to the saw mill I think a slab would be a good thing. Ed

Great setup. Very much a timesaver.

No fox yet? Been cutting firewood for 30 plus years, your doing it right. Much better to cut it where it lies and haul the rounds , you don’t tear up the yard or trails dragging the tree.

Using the new dump trailer for cliff's wood is the ticket.

Great stuff looking forward to spending some time with you guys at the show.

Like the army man. Your set up is great back when i was doing firewood i would have had the same setup. Have a great day and be safe.

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

Back your dump trailer under the splitter conveyor load right into your trailer,

Melissa's expressions there at the end = Priceless...😁😁😁... Yep, we believe Mike covered it all too Mel...😇😉

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

I know you have had a tough couple days Melissa, loading that wood in a third of the time that I thought you would! You are in really good shape, and I bet you shut some guys up! I saw the comments on that trailer video, those guys should be ashamed, and they don't give you credit or appreciate how hard you work taking care of the family and all the other things that you do! I am glad to see you taking more of a part in these videos along with Hunter and the girls, you bring something special to the channel, along with a beautiful smile!

MELISSA IS THE BEST HELPER MIKE CAN ASK FOR SHE IS STRONG AND NOT AFRAID TO WORK

Great job enjoyed that

I really enjoy all of your videos from hatchet throwing to kid's workouts, to Jeep reviews, but a return to your roots with a chainsaw, a tractor and a woodsplitter is very enjoyable too. Oh yeah, the blues music is always great. By the way, I love to read all the comments giving you advice how you should be doing things. I burn about two cords a year in a cabin in Westen NC and I started with a Poulan I got on sale at Lowes for $79, an electric splitter I got at Home Depot for $200 and I split out of the back of my pick-up using the electric spiltter set up on an old dining room table and I drop the split wood into a plastic 4-wheel trailer I bought at Tractor Supply. In the end, it is my perfect soluton. I did by a used Stihl on CL this year,, so I'm upgrading. My point is the right way of doing something is what meets your needs at your budget. It's not that I can't afford better equipment, it's just that what I have does the job. Keep up the great work and you need to get Melissa one of those "Sun's out, Guns out T-shirts so she can show off those guns.

Another great video. You do have a good system for cutting and splitting firewood, but most of us don’t have a wife named Melissa. Count your blessings everyday.

My family and I will be there Saturday so hopefully we will get to say hi to you guys.

Mike I always like your choice of music.

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!

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

Thanks for the video Mike and Melisa. Like the shirt Melisa had a friend that went Slippery Rock years ago.

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 😊👍!

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?

Good Morning!

You should collect the scrap that falls through the shoot and have Hunter bag it as kindling.

Love the video

That splitter is fancy.

Don't worry about the comments Mike it's your setup do it the you want

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

Good video, nice work.

Parabéns Pelo trabalho Ferramenta de Primeira Qualidade da Gosto Trabalhar 👏👏👏👏👏

Well Mike/Melissa … I know a farmer that has 20 ac of woods. I’m hoping he’ll be willing to sell that acreage to me some day. I enjoy watching you and Melissa cut, gather, and split firewood. Call me simple, but I love to watch the process.
