Sloppy, Slippery, Slope made NICE! 

Nothing better than watching another guy play in the dirt! I love your toys. The only difference is mine have 4 wheels and i drive through the mountains of WNC. Have a blessed Easter! and give thanks for His gift!

Mike you really have a good eye for working dirt with your machines. That side hill you cut in with the mini-ex and skid steer turned out just awesome. Keep the great content coming. We appreciate the hard work that must be involved making all these videos.

Archie gets me smiling every time with his antics. Nice straight line Melissa without a hiccup. Mike you’re a Picasso with that skid steer. Happy Easter Morgan’s!

Thanks so much letting us watch and enjoy your new equipment and what you transform the wood yard into such a amazing work area.

Archie is SUCH a smart dog that he’s helping you clear the orange line by biting off the residual stuff. What a GOOD doggie you have. I wish I could have them again but I just don’t have the time to train them.

Good morning all! Your woodyard is taking shape! Hey, on my 10-acre honey locust and Osage orange clearing project - I may have found the optimum solution! There’s a local manufacturing company that makes a skid steer attachment tree saw with 36” blade, 3/4” thick with carbide teeth. It can cut trees off just below ground level, solving the root grinding issue too. And the best part? Just about our nearest neighbor has one with a track skid steer! He got it to clear fence rows on his place. We’ll take a look at the equipment and the project when I go to the farm in July and see if he can say how much a couple of days of work would cost me. He said it burns fuel at about the same rate as a similar-size tractor - only 5-6 gph, so I’d hope it’s not too pricey. Doing it way for a couple of days (especially if I can line up another track skid steer with grapple to move downed trees out of the way) would be the equivalent of several weeks of manual cutting and I’d still have to deal with stumps if I went that way. Does anyone in the OWTM world have experience with this kind of tool?

FYI as a Veteran, I love seeing Old Glory waving in the wind on your building 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 God bless America

Might be interesting to see a drone view of the renewable energy processing center from the past compared to a view of how it looks now. I remember not so long ago when the only thing down there was a deer feeder!

This project is pure gold in my opinion. We never miss an episode of Outdoors with the Morgans. Especially like to watch you play in the dirt . . . growing up in the 40's, the most fun you could have was sliding down the wet dirt on the river bank or digging in the sand gully between the house and the railroad tracks.. We agree, you are goooood!!! Best Wishes from California. My husband turned 83 last week.

Mike - your skill is one of a visionary. Few people can sit behind the controls and sculpt the hillside and the property the way you have. Congrats and thx for sharing and enjoy your channel.

BEWARE: Sculptor at work !! What a transformation you made of that slope, Mike !! You certainly have a flair for driving that skidloader !! It did EXACTLY what you wanted !! I continue to salute you on your earthmoving skills !!

Great work as always mike! I have Morgan envy! Between the property, the toys and the family! Great role model mike and Melissa!

The more i watch you running that equipment, the more impressed i am. I can just hear my Dad now if he was alive to watch you he would say “ that boy is good”. Thats what he would always say if he seen somebody doing something that impressed him. Nice work, looks good. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY.

Something therapeutic about watching you work your equipment and shape your ground!!! And ALWAYS a smile on Melissa's face! LOVE IT! Have a day!

Mike you are an absolve artist with those machines. Beautiful,work.

Archie is something else. Your new Skidder is remarkable but what really shows through is how well you utilize its capabilities.

Nice that Hunter was supervising from the house.

Great job!! It's hard to image that is could turn out that gentle of a slope when looking at how it started!

And another thing, if I had tried to paint that straight line I would have tumbled about ten times and could only make it about half way before taking a break. Melissa just zipped right through it straight as an arrow.

What is it with Melissa? She's running, jumping, and playing! Outstanding.

I ran across one of your very first videon back in 2017 and all you had was a single row of stacked firewood and a deer feeder. It's amazing what one person can change with the right equipment

I really don't know how you ever got along without that track loader, doing a great job on the landscaping wish I could be there in person and watch or help,fine job on the video thank you so much

Thanks Mike and Melissa for a wonder Easter Moring video. Hope everyone in the Morgan clan is enjoying their Easter, stay safe and healthy. Great video Mike and Melissa thumbs up.

Mike, I recall you talking to a stone delivery driver, over at neighbour Cliff's place. He said his brand new truck could haul 23 tons at a time. It occurs to me that when the time comes for the stone on this new roadway, a bulk buying surely must work out cheaper and easier, now that you have the skid loader fully operational.....Cheers Robin....

Great video Mike. Kubota should use you for promotional videos. You make them look good. Have a blessed day

Now I know what I need. A beautiful, smiling, line drawing, camera woman and a excavating dog! Love the video, and the work your doing!

awesome job!...sucks when power is out!...YOU 2 NEED A VACATION!!!..."JUST DO IT!"...thanks 4 video. be kind..

Great job painting line. It would have been all over my shoes if I had done that. Love the out come of the wood storage area. That is a great job. For not being able to angle the bucket it is great. That is one happy dog.

Worked with a gentleman that said - never build a wall when you can grade a slope. BUT I thought the idea was to maximize the wood lot (renewable energy processing area) for future buildings for saw mill, lumber equipment storage. Guess I was wrong. Good work and good videos any how. Take care all

Nice work on the SLOPE, Team. Its always good to see earth moving efforts measured out. Too many people just shoot from the hip, make it up with their dozer blade or excavator bucket as they go along. Excellent results. Curiously enough, the more slope work you do, the better you will get at it.

Mike, please do not take my post as negative. It is not intended to be that. I love your channel. While I am not enamored with watching a bucket tear through soil/stone I continue to be AMAZED at the level of expertise you demonstrate with your equipment. Keep up the good work with your equipment and with your channel. Your presentation is amazing also! Thanks for sharing your life.

Hey Mike that skid steer sure looks like it was made for hard work. It’ll be a cinch along with the 360 to dig out the swimming pool.

Mike, you're a genius with those machines making it look so easy!

I envy you having 3 Golden Retrievers and a beautiful family! Nothing better than that!

Fun to watch a man that's good at his job. Your place is really shaping up. Love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

He is Risen!! Happy Easter! Archie cracks me up. How much further back do you think you need to go to get that incline blended in... another 2ft I would guess. It's obvious this is not your first time moving dirt, you make it look easy, much easier than it is. I'm enjoying every video, thanks for all that you do!

Sculpting is so you can mow it is a great plan. I do the same- weed eating uses up a lot time you can be doing other things. A lot more enjoyable things. I’m pretty much shutdown by 4 feet of snow right now.

Happy Easter everyone!

It would be really interesting if you could place a camera in the cab of the excavator and skid steer watching your hand controls. You could do a picture in picture so we can watch what’s happening on the inside and outside as you work. Love the videos! Keep up the good work.

When you back up, use the back edge of the bucket to finish grade.

Fine job with the skid steer. Hunter does an excellent job of supervision. He checked on you several times to make sure you were doing your job correctly. LOL

Mike, it’s amazing what you can do with heavy equipment. Good job.

Mike, when will you be finishing up the rooms inside the new shop. Winter has come and gone now and now a long list of future outside projects on your agenda for spring, summer and fall? By the way, Archie sure is funny.

Man, you are a one man landscaping machine! You have the tools and the talent. He's out and on the loose, Archie!

That is a big difference!!!!! That really looks great!!!!! I can't wait to see what it looks like when you get it done!!!!!

Greg from northern Michigan. Mike, I see a heavy equipment outdoor wash rack with concrete pad in your near future. Dig one shared trench under the gravel road from the pole barn to the lower wood yard area for electrical power for outdoor lights / air compressor / recharging porrtable tools, a water line and outdoor hydrant for washing equipment and fire control, and a low voltage underground cable in oversized plastic conduit for phone / security cameras. Some food for thought.

Have to ask Melissa if there's any chance at a full zippered hoodie with small logo on front and big on the back? Great work there Mike on that skid loader. You make it look easy!

Gotta say Mike you're good estimating dirt and you have the eye for grading good job more experience than we think.

Great job regrading the slope. Always love watching the Goldens when you show them. We have been looking for a new Golden and my wife wondered where Archie came from to see if we could get in contact with the breeder.

Archie's a blast! Wow, can he go! Of course he found a stick! I would really like to know what the other two think about him. I'm amazed at how much you accomplished in such little time. Having the right machine for the job and the skill set to operate those machines says it all. Yet another great video shared w all of us, thank you so much. Happy Easter y'all. Praise and glory to our Savior! 👍🚜❤

Hello OWTM , thought at first you were going to cut that bank straight down and put in a wall with the concrete Lego blocks , but then you tapered and sloped it and once again proved my guessing wrong , never can seem to think the same as you , but that's good , it takes all kinds of thinkers to make this world go round , great job shaping up that bank !

Great job Mike, you really made it look so nice and when you get all the grass growing it will look even better. I just wonder when you will run out of space and need more...lol

Fantastic job on the slope! Really like when you look like your doing 100 plus on your machines reminds me of the old time movies back in the day lol

Happy Easter and it's "Breakfast with the Morgans" for me this morning. Hope today is wonderful for you all.

Glad you got the track loader, time to order another piece of equipment!

Happy Easter, blessings to the Morgans!

Oh my goodness Archie is crazy! Haha. Saw Hunter in the back ground waiting patiently! Hey Hunter Morgan!

WOW!!! It’s amazing what a skilled operator can do with with the right tools for the job. You might have to use a hand rake for the touch up along the edge. And I say ‘might’ have to.. Happy Easter to you and the family!😎🪵

A great example where weight is partly the key to the usefulness of of your equipment. The skid steer is both mini bulldozer and steam roller combined in one. Having that extra weight sure made short work of that job. I like the way you take your time and do a good job instead of charging in like a bull at a gate approach Mike. Well done.

I just watched this on the RU-vid app on my new Sony 65" Bravia TV. What a treat! And what a nice job! I approach like projects with I hope this works out not knowing for sure how I'm going to get to the end from the beginning. Your purposeful moves are artistic and educational. Thanks.

Mike. You sure make moving the dirt etc around and making it useful and looking really great. Fantastic job. !!!!

You guys videos are so relaxing and peaceful, Thank You Very Much!.

The string line was so simple yet so brilliant! I’d never thought of that and definitely going to use You see all the pros just knock it out when doing banks and wonder why you can’t without 20 years experience Well now I can

I just checked out your shirts on the website--very cool! I saw the Sasquatch shirt and at first glance, I thought it said "Behave Yourself" instead of "Believe in Yourself"! LOL thought Melissa would like a chuckle for today!

Very impressed how fast you catch on to the equipment and the skill of your dirt work so fun to watch ! Archie catches on pretty quick to lol 😆

Nice work Mike..Its gonna get real slippery in the next 24 hours up your way... Winter just can't give up.. By the way my tee shirts came the other day Love them!! thanks

have to admit, Mike, you do some amazing work with those machines!! And you are also, hands down, the smoothest operator I've ever witnessed!

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL.

I was half expecting to see a load of retaining wall stone show up to hold back the hill and maintain as much wood yard as possible. have a great Easter weekend.

Mike what a job I remember you had just built that hill about a yr or so ago and now your tearing it out again must have some big plans for it you think I can come over and play in your big sand box some day 😂 great video looking forward to the next one

Great pick of music Mike.

Mike you are the master of the heavy equipment. It's a work of art, what you did with the slippery slope. Archy has an on button, and maybe, an off button. We've only ever seen the "on" Archy. Stay safe.

Have a great Easter everyone 😀 Archie had to do his part 👍👍👍😊 Its snowing 🌨 here in south central Iowa

That worked out pretty slick with your new equipment driving at an angle after piling the dirt in it . It obviously has a low center of gravity grass seed and hay on the way !

Archie cracks me up. That is one energetic pup.

That is funny because I was at the antique power engine museum in CoolSpring. What beautiful scenery

it won’t be long now … Happy Easter M&M and the entire OWTM community … a day for reflection and gratitude 😎

That dog is so smart he knows whats goin on! How cool id that. God bless guys. Latter

Good morning, Happy Easter 🐣. Nothing better than a video in the morning. Weather has been crazy up this way . Ground cover in snow this morning. Happy Easter to the rest of your family and to all your followers.

Amazing transformation!

Good place to set a few piers to set logs or lumber on.

I think where a lot of people fail at running grade is they give up too soon. 1st time doing and teaching oneself isn't easy and in Chris's words from Letsdig18 " Ya got to work it till its its done" you wont wear out the ground, the machine will wear out 1st. I've seen him work in a tract long after I would have stopped. So ya Mike, you're looking really good there, time to haul in a few loads of topsoil before you wind up removing the entire hill-top.

Very nice work Mike!!

Last week the winds were howling. 50 MPH. there was a fire 2 miles NW of our house and of course the winds were out of the NW. It was on the N side of US16 and fire crews were able to keep it from crossing the highway. 111 acres burned and it is a fairly populated area. Yet not. a single structure was involved thanks to the efforts of our outstanding woodland fire crews. Fire is our biggest concern as this is Semi Arid and we are in a drought. We do what we can to minimize risk by keeping the fuel load down around the house and limbing up trees to eliminate "Ladder Fuel" that would let a ground fire climb into the trees and start a "Crown" fire. We were prepared to evacuate if needed but it was never an issue for us.

Fantastic awesome job Sir!!

Looking good Mike …. Archie is a ball of energy for sure but he wants some dirt fun too

mike with all the stuff you buy you need a genrac generator. we had one for about 13 months and its the best thing that we have ever purchased.

Mike you do have some excellent machines, but still takes a skilled operator to make the machine perform. You have that skill I would call "the knack". Truly awesome to watch you as some comments stated "sculp the landscape". I am just a hack but learning from watching and practicing.

Great video as always. My new skid steer is being delivered on Wednesday. I wish I had 2% of your skill in running it.

Mike, you're a natural with that excavating equipment. Well done bud

Amazed at how much you can get done in a short period of time with the skid loader. It’s a beast. Wishing you and your family a blessed and safe Easter!

Happy Easter to the Morgan Family

Mike your doing an excellent job!, I knew when yku got started you would need to go farther back at the deep end to make your slope right!, but dont get me wrong you are doing an excellent job building the slope!. Morgans good day!.

Archie never saw the orange line before and Archie knows it does not belong here. Good job Archie.

Making it look good and functionql!

Doing awesome work on your property looks great happy Easter 👍

P.S. Thanks for speedin’ up the video of the “side scrape” as that has ALWAYS made the most sense of a tedious task.

Good work on the slope when you get done with the wood lot. Are you going to start on the bronco, Jeep track know that you have all the equipment to do it.

It’s so much fun watching someone who knows what they are doing using heavy equipment. You make it look so easy. I think to myself, I’ll go rent one of those and do some work at my place… then I’ll have to hire someone to come fix it for me!

Mike, awesome project! BTW I'm really jealous, All of your toys, just make my day. You could have even more "flat" area, if you were to make that a square cut and then place the big cement blocks 2 or 3 high along the face and then back fill to the upper side. It would provide a great place to stack lumber or totes. Big shout out to You and the entire family, especially Hunter! HAVE A DAY!!
