Please don't take this as a gripe, but your channel has honestly become a part of my daily life. For years, everyone else I was following posted once a week, maybe occasionally twice. But you have always posted 5 or 6 times a week and since I really like your content, I MISS YOU SO MUCH when you dont post. So today it was so grand to to open your video and find that all is ok. You know how your mind can conjure up all sorts of terrible scenarios when you start to worry. How nice it was watching you use your equipment, repairing the trailer tire and proving again how great the investment was to buy and own your equipment. So much money has been saved and best of all, your back has been saved! I hope to see Tank and Archie play together some day. I'm hoping Hannah will bring him for a visit one day, I think that will bring a lot of big smiles. Mike, I'm so glad all is well and absolutely enjoyed your video today, thank you my friend! Hope to see y'all tomorrow. 👍🚜❤🇺🇸🇺🇸

Mike, I’m so glad everything’s all right with you and your family. I was getting concerned because I was not seeing any videos uploaded. I pray that Hunter is doing better I was concerned possibly something was going on with him. It’s nice you were able to get away and visit Hannah and her husband.

State College? I used to travel there on business. I loved the fall colors as long as the company didn’t book me on a college weekend. If it was a college football weekend, you might have to commute about 75-100 miles due to all the people coming to the games. Haha. Beautiful country side. I grew up in northern Minnesota and didn’t realize how much I miss the fall colors. Texas does have a little color and can be nice, but the brilliant colors of the northern trees are something to behold. Oh, don’t worry about the tempo of releasing videos. I enjoy them whenever I get a chance to view them. You would think, me, a retired guy, would have all the time in the world. Actually I had more time whenI was working or so it feels like. Thanks for another video, all the best!

Morning Morgans! I was just waiting for that truck to start sliding. What a setup, then dump, no slide. Good work, Mike! Just did a trip to Ely, MN and back from Northern VA, so lots of windshield time, and you are right - I had forgotten how much the road just saps the strength out of you and puts you to sleep.

Always grins watching the ballet of you orchestrating ANY job with any of your equipment. You make it look so smooth and easy you have me convinced even I could do it!! Very VERY smooth Mike. As I have said many times, like an extension of YOUR brain and limbs!! Beautiful to watch. The opening road time of this one had me worried. The road, the fog, the traffic, gave me a VERY high pucker factor. (too many youtube crash videos) I may need some sphincter salve here, I bit some button holes in my chair at that one intersection. BUTT, you navigated it safely. Blessings to you and yours. Thanks for taking me along Mike.

To keep the tow vehicle wheels from sliding while dumping on an incline, you can also chock the wheels of the dump trailer. Lots of wheel chocks available (triangular firewood pieces) at the Morgan place 😉

Good morning Mike and the rest of the families. Great video getting the front yard leveled for easier ride while mowing. Looks real good. Glad you got your running over with and hope you don't have to make so many trips so close together, they are hard on the body after you've been away from them for so long. Tell Hunter hello from all of us, miss seeing his smiles and the devilish laugh that he does so well. Stay safe and keep up the good work and fun around there. Fred.

Morning Mike, Glad to see a new video. Nice work on the yard. Was thinking, how about a large rock with “The Morgan’s” carved in it to set off the entrance and place it on the little hill.

Good Morning! Thanks For The Video Post! Missed My Outdoors With the Morgans Fix!! Mike you aren't Kidding You Have Been Busy Putting In A Lot Of Windshield Time!! Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊

The front tire on the trailer will sit up what ever you run over and the rear tire will catch it before is falls down. Most of the time it seems you will always have a flat on the rear axle of a trailer. Mike thanks for another great video. I always enjoy watching Outdoors With The Morgans.

Hi Mike; & Melissa Just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your masterful manoeuvring of the various machines. You inspired me to get a small tractor with a loader 3 years ago & I have been getting better at handling it. Will enjoy seeing the inside of the building when you get closer to being finished. Also, as an old guy recovering from nerve damage then subsequent back surgery, I am trying to rebuild my arm & leg strength, I would like to see more of Melissa's workout techniques on her channel. So sorry to hear about Ruger. Bill from West Coast Canada

As I am sure you know Mike, but many may not, any time you are loading or unloading a trailer on a slope it is ALWAYS best to chock the FRONT TIRES of your tow vehicle and the tires on the trailer to prevent the trailer taking off when the rear of the truck is lifted.

Hi guys glad everyone is doing great as a mowing contractor the lawn layout looks great nice level lawns are hard to find Cheers paul

Great Video Mike, Thanks for the Info on lifting the tire up. I have a 26' Camper (double axle) and that works great for one tire up (greasing,ect.). I'm getting a 2"x8"x8' pc cut in half for leveling, and cut the other 4' pc in two for jacking. Sweet! 👍👍

Mike, we are on the same road in life, almost. I’m not retired but doing a lot of what you are. But with that being said, since you’re driving a half ton a bunch you might want to look into those Diamond back tonneaus. They are super heavy duty and I’ve strapped a ton of stuff on top of mine. They are made in Phillipsburg PA. It has been a valuable tool for my short bed truck.

So nice to have great tools to get stuff done efficiently and enjoyably. FYI; if you shift into 4x4 before you shift to park, the front wheels will hold you if the rear lift...

Put your transfer case in 4wd when loading/unloading trailer and set your parking brake. That locks your front tires with the parking brake and will keep your truck from moving, even if the rear wheels get light.

Driving creates a different fatigue as you’re not in total control of what everyone will do when driving. That’s why they say drive defensively and all your senses need to be hightened. That wood looks beautiful and will look great in the building. More beautiful work!

Was going thru with draws not seeing videos from my favorite family on RU-vid. Glad your back. Have a great day be safe.

Hey Mike, On my way to work that Tues morning, passing under the I80 bridges in Clfd. On the off ramp, I see this nice stone colored F150. I think to myself, that's a nice truck! Then I noticed the trailer and then the Sthil license plate. After I passed through, I go. That was Mike Morgan!! Little did I know, you would get my car on camera driving by. Great video!! Watch the channel all the time. Thx

Beautiful day in Boonville NY. Glad all is well with you all.

hello i have been watching your videos for a couple years now and thought i would share with you that i like the honesty of you and your family and friends also great choices of videos to show us awesome quality. i often mute your music and know its not easy finding the best music but i really liked the upbeat you played on this video ( why i havent been posting videos lately. thanks you

Glad to see ya back. It's cool that you have the equipment and skill to do all this stuff. All that driving. I thought sure you were getting stone!

Love watching you work with your equipment Mike…wish I lived closer where I could “stop by” to help you on some of your projects….fun

Nice work Mike as always. Yea I can’t drive long distances anymore. It sucks the energy out of me and I get tired. I live in eastern massachusetts and my son lives in North Carolina. It’s a long drive. Anyway, I love watching the machinery. I don’t know what it is. It’s kinda therapeutic for me. You have a great setup with your equipment to do everything yourself and you take pride in what you do. I love the way you take care of all of it too. Keep up the good work!

good morning to all. missed my favorite videos. have a great weekend

I've gotta be content using my back of a garden rake. Mike uses the back of his SL-97 Skidloader bucket. Rake envy for sure!

I feel for you on the flat tire. Years ago I found a 10mm opened ended wrench in the side of my tire. A WRENCH! (BTW, I still have it in my tool box) Another time my wife got a 10" long carbide tipped drill in a tire. It made all kinds of noise when going round the fender well. Love you video's in the morning, so keep posting buddy. Greetings from that Old Jarhead in WNC (that still thinks you need a larger flag for the pole) Semper Fi!

Glad to see you again Mike!!! I was hoping that all was going well with you and your family and thank you for the great content! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Glad all is good you and the family. Hello to Hunter!

Wish I could find a supplier for tongue and groove like that in my area. I need to build a sliding barn door for my shop, but I can't find anything like that around...so I may end up just finding some 1x6 boards and running them through my shaper and making my own tongue and groove. I need 10 foot boards, I guess I could probably go down to 8 foot I'd just have to reframe the opening. I think I need like just over 7 feet of height for the BX roll bar to make it...may have to do some remeasuring and find what I can get in 8 foot lengths, which whatever I do I'll have to make the tongue and groove myself as I can't find anything around. Its much easier just to go to the hardware store when you need tools Mike, you really don't need to run over them, its hard on the tires LOL. I had a pretty large wheel weight go through a tire on my pickup a few years ago...an 8 ply tire, and wheel weight went right through it....destroyed the tire of course, still had about 1/2 the usable tread left, but ended up with a new set of tires at $1400....I end up getting nails or screws in tires all the time it seems, luckily most of the time its just a patch job. I need to get new tires put on my Explorer this year, just keep putting it off as long as possible since tire prices have skyrocketed. The tread is fine, but if we have a bad winter I'd rather have better tires, they're worn down, but if it were summer they'd be fine, winter not so much, not quite to the wear bars yet, but getting there and just not sure what I should put on it, I just know I need something a bit heavier than what's on it now since I do some occasional towing. I know when I put the heavier tires on my truck, it helped a lot for towing stability, so I may go that route with the Explorer as well....plus it looks like it needs an alignment, got a bit more inside tire wear up front...oh well, I'll get it sorted out soon....just seems like there's never enough time to get everything done. Was supposed to have 4 days off last week, didn't happen, had 1 day off, and spent all of that working on a trailer demo on a property, and got it cleared off, and hauled off. It was my first time ever running an excavator and a skid steer....man I now understand why you love your toys...err tools...umm equipment. Made very quick work out of that job, just wish I had the time off I was supposed to have so I could have gotten everything else done that I had the equipment rented for. $2700 in equipment including the semi-truck/trailer to haul stuff on. Made it quick and easy, but man ate a lot of money on that rental because I only had 1 day to use it all and didn't get even 1/4 of the stuff done I needed to get done. Next time I guess I'll just not show up for work because I ain't paying that kind of money on equipment rental to not use it as intended.

Good morning Morgans and friends. Beautiful weather here, possible storms Sunday night. Should have rain first of the week from us Mike. I'm pretty sure those small walnut trees are trembling with fear of Mike. Business is Business and everything else is ..well you know. Hope all are well. Please tell the family hello. Be safe and we'll see you down the road. Fall is coming fast!

Thanks for letting us know why the videos slowed . Glad you were able to visit daughter, I enjoy watching your channel and hope you keep them coming.

1)should you also seal the back of that T and G ? If the front is sealed and the back is not it may lead to cupping cos the moisture can get in the back more than in the front 2) I gonna call the tree push over then grab the root ball and pull back the Virginia Technique 3) Put the truck in proper 4 wheel dr in those sketchy situations it will lock the front and back wheels together and help hold you

Mike & Melissa, I received my soap cannon and rotary nozzle yesterday. It worked fantastic. Thank you for the demos! An hour after I washed the car it poured down rain.

That trailer deck is flat out a piece of art Mike!! Really shows the grain and makes the wood Pop!

You got squalls there. Just a little rain in Colorado Springs. No posting: you gotta life. Enjoy it.

Kept looking for a post from you Mike. Got kind of worried something happened or busy in building with panneling. Then this pops up - He's alive, alive I Say! Great you two went to the kids at Penn State. That is one expensive hex wrench there. Price is a little steep and not even NEW! Yard look good after raking and seeding done. Have a safe day and better tomorrow.

Hello! I was concerned when didn’t download a video for a few days! Glad to know all is well!

I hope you stopped at Denny's Beer Barrel pub for a burger when you were in Clearfield.

Great job Mike - how’s my buddy Hunt Man doing? Miss seeing him in the videos, he still getting his chicken wraps?😊. My little cousin is really struggling right now, it’s getting really cool here in Michigan and we had to shut down the pool, she is not happy, they don’t like change. We added an outdoor hot tub, it helps a little 🤷‍♂️

Moving the trailer on top of those boards to fix the tire was pretty slick, nice job

Good morning. Another little to do checked off the list. If only it happened as quick as the time t video it! You put the MM laser on the grade from inside the cab. Looks great Mike.

I was just wandering that very thing hi from Melville Saskatchewan have a blessed day from your Canadian friend

Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 17 Sep 22.

Good morning, God bless you all & thank you for sharing your journey

Good stuff Mike, nothing like coffee with the Morgan's. I've been a mechanic for 45 years and you are right to replace that tire. Most repairs are just temporary. Looking good there, glad to have you back 😀

Glad to know everything is good at the Morgan Compound. Getting a bit worried there. Nice job on the front yard, def will make things easier on the mowing. Are you going to get more of the lumber across the street at the neighbors back yard. Haven't heard anymore about that in awhile. Cheaper than buying log poll's wouldn't it be?

Great video Mike!, I know what you mean about being busy, I havent had much time to even watch videos!. We are trying to get things wrapped up before winter!, and the days are flying by!. Morgans good day!.

Busy. Busy. Busy. Love the trailer jack. Have a productive day.

Anytime I’m dumping on a hillside I either hold my trailer brake control or pull the pin on my breakaway switch while I’m dumping either way it doesn’t matter if the rear truck tires aren’t on the ground

oh cool you found the allen wrench I left on my bumper when i drove off. you can keep it🙃

Hello just wanted to say a good morning to Hunter hope he's doing okay haven't seen in a while and have a good one

I’m glad everything is well with you guys. Great video as usual. Take care and have a good one. 👍❤️🙏

I wish you were my neighbor. Lol I have a few jobs at my place that would keep your equipment busy for a few hours.

I get the excavator to take out the trees. But why the skid loader to do the grading? You have the BX23s that would have done much less damage to the existing lawn (if any) and would have achieved the same result.

Hi Morgans, I’ve missed your video’s! Your work always ends with a clean finish, your property looks very nice.

You can get a couple wheel chocks to use when you have to dump on a hill or blocks of wood. Can you show Hannah and Tyler’s puppy? I will see if they have a video of it yet.

when dumping on a hill like you are doing in this video put the truck in 4 wheel drive, that way you still have a locked wheel on the front axle if you get to much negative tung weight. plus it will buy you some time if the truck starts to slide.

A tip for your trailer sliding take a small spring clamp and clamp your trailer brake paddles together in your truck this will lock up your trailer breaks

I usually put the truck in 4x4 in situations like that. Great video. I’m glad to see you guys

I started watching this video earlier and had to put you on pause so i could run out and put the foam cannon to work. I absolutely love that thing. Now its time to watch some UK football. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY

Hey Mike nice job on your lawn,lumber looks good,,Be sure tell Melissa you love her.Have a good one

Great video Mike, love watching you, was getting a bit concerned as you post almost every day, but don’t worry about it, when your busy you are busy!

Glad you made it out of Philly safe and sound. I haven’t been there since the pandemic started, and I only live 45 minutes away.

Mike HEADS UP!....always block your trailer tires when lift trailer bed!!!!!!

they make a thing for horse trailers, drive one wheel up the other can be removed ... but hey blocks work too I guess

Glad to see a video, thought that Hello Fresh recall had done you in. lol

I agree with Jim below, you went so long without an update was wondering if anything went wrong. Glad you were just too busy.😀

Your a busy guy ! I did all the same for 30 years in heavy construction and now I seem busier than when I was working .

Here in Southern Mississippi limestone is very expensive so we don't drive on it very often. I was wondering how hard it is on tires and tracks. I just got back watching your videos and I am trying to catch up

cold weather coming,,soon,,,i just have to get things done...one day at a time..be careful Mike

Hahahaha that's how we change the tires on the horse trailer...drive one of the wheels up onto a chuck block ( think that's how you spell it ) real easy pesey...I'm located in the Philadelphia area a you know with my SE PA weather posting...great weather...first day of archery 9/17 good luck

You got us conditioned to almost daily videos, was getting worried. Keep up the great content Mike, enjoy keeping up with y’all.

Mine I’ve been driving like you most of my adult life trying to maintain the property and everything that comes along with it. Living in rural Wv it’s a long ways frok everything. I think the reason it’s so tiring is because of the mental drain. We have to keep our heads on a swivel and I think it’s just mentally exhausting when you are trying to be safe. I don’t worry so much aboit me. I am more worried about the others around me. Invest in some 14 or 16 ply tires on your trailers. You not only gain the thicker tread. It’s the sidewalls that make the most improvement. It’s unbelievable. Try them sbd you’ll Thank me.

I like how you think out a plan before whatever it is your doing well done there sir. But when bucking keep your rpm up because it less,s the chance of bar pinch or kickback another thing that is helpful try to use the tip of your bar more because it makes a big difference in the cut also what size of a bar u running short or long bar ? r u using a chip dump.

That is an interesting hack for an alternate way to jack your trailer tire up in the back. The odds against running over a blunt thing like an Allen wrench in such a way as to cause it to pierce your tire must be astronomical. I've always SAID you were a man of many talents, Mike. 😜 Can you do it again in slo-mo?

Was starting to wonder? Glad all's Good!

Good morning from NCNC! Pretty day here. Fall’s coming - putting me in mind for the trek to the western Ozarks for farm work and deer season. I had noticed your hiatus but figured you had things that kept you from doing videos. Glad you’re back at it!

Pricey Allen wrench. Years ago my uncle got one that still baffles us. 7/16 box wrench in his tire... Box end first. Talk about a 1 in a million shot to push that rounded end right through the tire instead of just shooting it out.

There just is no end to your talent old boy that looks awesome. I see you picked up some more of that nice white pine from my home state of New Hampshire cool 😎 👌.

I found if you put your truck in four wheel drive when you load or unload heavy trailers it will usually stay in place and won't slide on you. I hope this helps you out.

Mike if you find yourself in a situation where the truck and trailer might roll pull the brake away bake controller and it will lock the trailer brakes then put the pull away back in after you finish dumping.

Mike, make sure you have the fresh air setting on in your cab. Recirc will wipe you out cuz your not getting enuf fresh air in you. Just in case you haven't been paying attn to it.

Loved the way you jacked up the dump trailer to change the flat tire.

Top soil never seems to go as far as you think.

The traveling man with a side of yard clean up. Nice job Mike. Stay safe.

Greg from northern Michigan. I see another new channel coming soon ... Truckin with the Morgan's !

Great job looking great keep up the great work love your videos thank you

are you planning to get rooler attacaction for the skid steer don't have to be new it be great for the propertys

That was a handy 'work smarter not harder' trailer jack to change that tire!

Thank you for talking about driving wearing you out. I thought maybe t was just me.

amazing tire !....lots going on....be kind.

Mike, what made you think anybody was wondering why you haven't uploaded a video in a few days? Maybe the hundred or thousand emails and facebook messages. Glad the family is all doing good, my fear was something happened. I've seen and heard of alot of things in tires you'd never think of. That new excavator rake attachment would have been perfect to clean up after those trees. Please say hi to Hunter for me. Glad to have you back.

Good morning Mike ☕️ happy Saturday… wish I knew you were coming to Philly… have a blessed day

Nice work in the yard Mike. Ya I had a scammer hit me yesterday morning with your RU-vid picture. It had a bunch of strange characters after the picture, I didn't open it or anything, although it did catch me by surprise, lol.

The stop sign @ :35 seconds....... that's one you better stop at....LOL Another great video.

Hey mike if you go to auto zone or advanced auto you can get a plug the once you pull that mail or screw out you just screw the plug in don’t loose much air then air it up and your done where I guess I was a little late lol

Good morning Hunter 👋👋😸😺 and family and friends 😸 Happy Caturday everyone 😸😺
