New Project Begins, Phase One Complete 

Daughter Eva's Latest Video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IhFYX3h6bZY.htmlsi=EdwTGEcLBhUgvwTa

No argument about the many security failures. The family of the retired fireman who was killed deserves a full explanation and any help that they may need.

Even tho we disagree on politics to a certain extent (I prefer infrastructure bills as opposed to more tax cuts for the rich for example and I would never hire someone who can't even run a casino successfully to be in charge of the store) I do love your content and watch your videos all the time. It's sad this country has allowed the propagandists from both sides to divide us like it has. Maybe one day we can all realize we are just people and freedom is way better than authoritarianism and we might once again live peaceably with each other. Until then I fear it will continue to be a rocky road. But as I said, I love your videos and they are a wonderful buffer in all this conflict! There's a certain peacefulness to them.

I am way behind on splitting, Had a busy summer. Thank you, Mike, you're a great inspiration.

Eva is a good role model for young ladies. Great parenting mom and dad.

Mike, I use a spray I get off Amazon called Critter Out and it works well. I use it in my engine compartments on the tractor, mower, cars and boat. Haven’t had any issues with them messing with wiring since I started using four or five years ago.

Good Sunday morning everyone!

You spoke of a mouse, in Texas, the mice and other vermin can really do a number on us and the wording in our cars and tractors. I use some chips or shredded bark, dry as I can make it, and douse it in peppermint oil. Fill an old sock with about a baseball size ball of the bark and put that high up in the engine bay. It won’t catch fire as long as you are away from the exaust, and repels most four legged critters for about six or so months at a treatment. My two pennys, hope I helped, enjoy!

Mikey your firewood operation is almost as good as mine!….I do excavating work and sell one maybe two hundred cords a season and have the excavator splitter for about 8 years or so….that said the key to the operation is to do the cutting of the rounds in the fall when it cools off…..then put the splitter on the excavator and quarter them into say 50 pound splits all winter when it’s warm in the mini…( you following me)….make a mountain of splits so they start drying the whole time while you make firewood from march on and then you have the rotation going.

Mike, you are getting very proficient with the split fire…fun and production

Mike watching you work with your machines is like watching a ballet. I love to watch you work. Love the VLOGs.

That buck better watch get this picture made that often

Your right Mike, it doesn't take but a minute or two to get acclimated to the split fire splitter again and your in full swing. The more i watch you on the Vermeer "Mini Beast" the more i like it, it's amazing the things you can do with it. I told some of the commenters when they said they could not see why you would buy such machine, i said give it time, i have learned, sit back and watch a few videos and his use will inform us how great it is for his operation, and how many tasks it will perform. Like excellent for hauling to West Virginny :) and work among the close quarters of the white oaks and such. Mike checks things out, researches thoroughly and puts a pencil [the math] to it, and if he buys it, it will fit his operation, not only as a time saver, but economical, and versatile as well :) I have seen enough to say, The Vermeer is great for Outdoor with the Morgan's operation: :) ❤💯🙏

Nice buck .

Excellent mike cheers 🥂 😊

Good morning everyone nice job always I appreciate your doing 🎉❤

Who ever thought that Blueford would turn out to be an impulse buy? lol. He looks a little sad-sack parked back there.

Good morning everyone. Checking in from beautiful Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada 🇨🇦.

Good morning y'all !!! Have a wonderful Sunday, and hello from British Columbia.

I will have to watch the video from Eva tonight. I am looking forward to it. Her hair is getting long. Hi Hunter.

Put moth balls packets in engine compartment well keep mice out 😢👍🏻

I always enjoy the washing and maintenance you do on your equipment. No scratches from working in the woods that's amazing. 👍👍

GREATEST ,CLEANEST ,MOST ENTERTAINING ,USEFUL CHANNEL ON RU-vid PERIOD.........

Have a day Mike and Melisa

Take good care of your equipment and they will last a long time, same for your vehicles

No surprise that our Local,State,and Federal Government has failed……they have been failing us all along

Mike place some Peppermint Extract in your equipment engine compartment. You may not want it in the cab. It is somewhat strong.

Mike put about 1 or 2” of molasses in a 2 gallon bucket and place bucket where you see mice in sheds or by equipment. Mice like sweet of molasses and the sulfur will help keep odor down if You catch one. Get a pair of tongs to pick mouse out to dispose…

Mike, i'm told that Tom Cat mouse deterrent works really well. You can get it in different forms at your local big box store. It has peppermint and cinnamon in it both of which mice hate

Hi Mike, I wouldn’t put poison in or by the machine, cause then your just using the bait for attracting mice. They don’t die right away after eating it. They will tell the others and then they will make nests in the excavator. Only saying this by experience. I like to spray my machines with a light coating of WD-40. The outer part of the machine. Wherever you think they will climb up onto it. Mice and others rodents don’t like the smell and don’t like to get their feet oiled. Got this trick from an old time farmer. Hope that helps. John from NY.

Nice Vid!

Hi Mike , Don't put the baits in the Excavator as it will attack the mice in to the engine bay.. Use empty plastic containers with holes small enough for the mice to get in. We place them all around the house and machinery,

Dan Bongino has some pretty good insights into all of this. It's a sad state of affairs for our nation, when something like this can be allowed to happen 😢

Good morning everyone!

Good Sunday Morganing, friends!

Hey Mike, get yourself a yard cat. Best mouse trap ever.

That yellow tag on your mini skids forks make me think of the price tag that was always on Mini Pearls hat. Guess that is telling my age a bit.

Good morning Morgans and friends. Have a blessed Sunday everyone!!

We just got a new Sheetz in my hometown, and I understand why the Huntman likes it. Mike, you're a great guy and a great dad. Another great video.

Nice attachment !! I like Your Ford Truck about 7 minutes into the video !!

You’re getting good with that little bulldozer.

A trick to keep the mice out of the engine compartment of cars / heavy equipment etc. Use an old prescription container (plastic pill bottle,) drill just a couple holes (3 - 4) with a 1/8" in. (0.125" in.) Use some peppermint oil, pour on / over a cotton ball (don't drown it with the peppermint oil, just a couple of drops) place the cotton balls into the pill bottle, place and or tape some where in the engine compartment. Rinse and repeat every 4 (four) to 6 (six) months. The only thing your doing is pouring more peppermint oil onto the cotton ball. A tell tale sign if you need to "service" the cotton ball, is can you smell the peppermint oil, if not time for more THE MICE HATE THE peppermint oil.

Repurpose the plastic tank inside the tote to make a roof to cure firewood works great. Cut bottom foot off tank, slit the 4 corners and wash toughly. Thet last for years and set tote on some scrap splits on one side to create a Slope for tote to shed water. No need to shed totes. The few inches of exposed cord wood dries so fast after rain/thaw it's a non-issue. Don't pack tote's tight to walls or each other for good air flow. Place totes on a protected side of building to quill driving rains. Keep that expensive roof area for better use. Oh, and don't wrap sides of totes. Run a few that way and you'll see how well it works. Esp. if your kiln drying to Finnish. Getting a moisture prob is a good investment now that your running lumber & checking firewood is a bonus. Have a blessed day and thank God for Trum p's protection. Kenmann

I agree with Mike & Eva: I’ll pass on the tent.

The way I get rid of mice and squirrels is with peppermint oil and cotton balls. Wear rubber gloves, take peppermint oil and dab a cotton ball with oil. Put 5-6 soaked cotton balls in the engine compartment. Rodent will run from the smell. Works in the atic of your house or garage. BTW, You guys are amazing parents and grand parents❤

Time for Melissa to get a farm cat to protect the wood yard and equipment😁

The Vermeer looks like a great yard machine, rainy days and cold blustery days. You might want the tractor but otherwise the Vermeer looks good. I’m not sure when you keep praising it. Are you trying to convince us or yourself I think for what you’re doing here is excellent.

Mike get you some Grandpa Gus mouse repellant good stuff. Stay safe and keep hydrated

Thank you Mike for using your quite considerable platform to speak about this- one of the reasons our country is so divided, too many say “ I don’t want to get political “. Take care🇺🇸

Hats off to you sir, you've got a great plan and know how to work it......roy🤠

Thanks Mike!! Everything Shaping Up Nicely!! Keep Smiling On!! 😅👍👊❤️

Nice work at your sister’s place! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

Have a blessed day .. tks for your videos .. always interesting and humbling !! CHEERS from Québec 🇨🇦

Mike you should do some lifting tests with the 4020. Looks like a great tractor but would be nice to know if how full of a basket it could handle

I LOVE that intro music… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You are so right Mike about the mouse, got into the engine of our vehicle and we had to replace the electronic harness because it chewed threw so much wire over one weekend, just one weekend. They can cause havoc.

85 degrees this morning in Western Oregon. Feels great, and the cooler temps will aid the firefighters thru out the state. We have a number of Hugh firs burning!

A very nice example of the Odocoileus virginianus buck in the forest on your property. Not nearly as big as the ELK you will see on your "out West" hunt in the coming months. Biggest Muley I saw while in Colorado (photographed, but not shot) was estimated by Wildlife Biologist to weigh 300+ pounds, with 18 points and a 38" spread. One of 100, he said!

Good morning Morgans Family another beautiful day. Can't wait to see the video in a bit here.

Good to hear on the ground intel. Thanks for the update. Interesting to hear how the local authorities are handling this (or not handling)

Fresh Cab rodent repellent has worked well in my equipment.

Mike , am very happy to see how adept you have become with the split force moving those big heavy rounds around. Back in the early days of watching you and Melissa moving rounds around , I would sometimes worry about you guys . I now have a bunch ( 20 ) of metal whatever’s ( multiple fusion surgeries ) holding my lower back together from doing similar activities.

Mike, have you noticed the bird nest on the downspout at the barn? Probably empty this late in the season but still will attract insects.

Something noteworthy is your Splitfire excavator mounted wood splitter. You have an efficient method of splitting the large rounds. Have a great day.

You will never hear the truth about this.

i really like the way you take care of your equipment always looks great

Hi Mike, I appreciate the content you all put out. Great stuff! Regarding Mice and rodents in equipment: I’ve tried poison, moth balls, Irish spring soap, mint oil etc. 1 thing has worked and worked amazingly: Cayenne Pepper. You can get a big container of it and sprinkle it around in engine bays. Only side effect is a little bit of taco smell when engine warms up. Try it. It works amazingly

Mike, you have mad skills for every machine that you touch. i’m always amazed how well everything works

Good job is always love your videos❤

Good afternoon Mike, I hope all this mechanical improvement doesn't kill you. I see you getting less exercise than you got 5 years ago. I Hope You Have a Better Day, Boscawen NH

Hi Mike, Been watching your channel for about a year now. I got 80 acres in the California foothills. Lots of work. Watching your channel motivates me to get out and work even when I’m not feeling it. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic!

We hope all is well with you and your family.

Fresh Cab rodent repellent, or Grandpa Gus mouse repellent works GREAT for keeping mice away!

G'day from Far North Queensland. Mike, a few years ago we had mice do some heavy duty damage to the plastic insulation around the electricals on a couple of our Massey Ferguson tractors.

I see Mullen growing behind your big wood bunker. Does Malissa make any natural remedies? Mullen is good for congestion, clearing lungs. Great weed to have around! Love your video, we watch them all.

Mike I said the Same thing Friday. It was 53° here. Half way between Binghamton and Syracuse. Fall is coming early as Spring did..🙂 I take the little cooler weather. Not ready for the next season😂

Good video bud

Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Wonderful and Blessed Sunday 🤠. We got some rain out here in Montana this morning. It’s a tough fire season this year in the West.

Happy Sunday Morgan's ~ Always a Big Treat to watch your video on Sunday morning's ~

Put some bounce dryer sheets in there, mice don’t like the smell, you could stick a couple in behind the water tank and some wires and areas where they won’t get hot, but I’ve used that on cars and equipment. I’ve been storing for years and it seems to help a little as a deterrent.

Hey Mike! This is my first time commenting, but have been watching your channel for years! My wife and daughter tease me about (in their words) "every evening, you sit down and watch an older version of you, do the same things that you do every day." Lol. I have two quick questions for you. First, I noticed you have been keeping tbe bucket on the excavator instead of the rake. Any particular reason? I absolutely love that attachment, and will be ordering one for my machine in the very near future. Second question, I haven't seen the old bumpside F250 in quite a long time, was curious where she's been hiding. Thirsty question, what's the story on Blueford? You should do a video, or at least a few minutes featuring that beauty! I'm an old truck fanatic, with a bunch of old Fords and Internationals. So of course, both of those old girls got my ears perked up. Keep up the awesome videos, and don't change a thing. It's very refreshing to watch a like-minded red-blooded American that likes to work hard and love his family. (And love West Virginia almost as much as I do) lol. God Bless. Justin Church

Red wood oak has large cell structures and holds more 'water' in the wood and sends it to the limbs for more leaves and ring building on the trunks and limbs.

Every three months I place bait in 3 inch PVC pipe sections that I strategically leave around my farm. We have not had any varmints or critters damage any equipment since. Before, I had thousands of dollars worth of repairs that were not easy to fix. I learned that to outsmart a ground squirrel, a rat or a mouse that you have to give them a tunnel to hide in so the PVC is the ideal place to put the bait.

Love the videos. Rodents love some of the new environmentally friendly plastic made with soy and other oils...i keep my sheds and garages trapped and poisoned. Mice/ Squirrels etc get into wiring looms, spark plug wires, and hoses its a mess. Neighbor has had to have her car rewired twice now because of squirrels. Good Luck.

1. All personal should have the same radio channel! 2. All points should have been mapped out by the advance team and positions assigned! 3. The moment someone of interest was spotted, put the protected should have been held in holding, until cleared! 4. The command post has to be run by competent personnel! 5. All department heads and their second in-charge should be replaced by Senate approval. 6. The heads and seconds of DOJ, DOH, FBI, and ATF should all be replaced!

Had mice in my engine bay. Learned that peppermint oil from health store 20 drops in a spray bottle of water. Spray engine compartment every couple months. Rats, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, etc HATE the smell of peppermint. It works !

WDYT I think first 3 shots were a pro at distance or in a building. The 5 shots was an ar. If I was doing the planning I would not have let the kid shot first. The white van was some ones back up plan if the kid didn't get put down.

I agree with you Mike, incompetence is the only answer that makes sense. Unless the kid was a patsy for a government hit like what happened to JFK.

Failures at every level means intentional over sight.

Mike, I’ve been thinking about setting up a shifting bar to get some top soil. As soon as we’re done with the trees

I started using these rodent repellent bags from Tractor supply, they smell like cedar oil. Seems to work well and you don’t have to worry about the pups getting into a poisoned mouse.

Moth balls. Put a few holders zip tied to wiring harness. Works a treat to keep rats and mice out the engine bays down here in OZ. Myles

You have to be careful with those mice! I bought a new to me combine last fall used it to harvest 2023 crops. Cleaned it up and blew it all out with my big compressor (the kind that powers a jack hammer) and parked it in the barn for winter. When I went to move it out this spring most of the functions would not work? Mice got in it and ruined the wiring harness! To the tune of 10,000 dollars! Be very careful about this! P.s. I bought a 4209 after seeing yours! I run it on my Kubota kxo40-4. Keep up the great work 👍

Use mothballs to repel insects and mice

I can't vouch for the validity of this procedure, but I use it anyway. I store my Kubota TG1860 mower and my Kubota MX4700 tractor inside an enclosed barn. I leave both hoods up, having been told that mice don't like the open exposure. I also have one of those sonic devices plugged into one of the outlets. So far, so good with no chewed up wiring or trailer damage that I know of.

I like videos like that, some wood splitting, some dirt moving, and a little BS session.

MIKE====>>> Various manufacturers use soy-based wiring in some vehicles to be eco-friendly. However, some consumers have reported problems with this type of wiring, primarily arising from rodents chewing the wires.

Dogs don't sweat. Panting is their on-board air conditioner.

Put u a mouse trap in there with peanut butter for bait.
