My church organized a hurricane relief down in Florida and we went to cut up some trees that had fallen on vehicles and houses. Everyone made fun of me for my long bar, Telling me I was "compensating" for something, you wouldn't believe the jokes. My saw was the only reason that we could do half of the jobs that we took because the trees were so big. Everybody else got pinched because they ignored compression, I could go on and on but buckin basically I just want to say thank you for your teaching and experience. I've taken that, honed my skills, and blessed other people's lives with it
Yep, we have learned a lot of stuff that we may never use but it's good to know stuff when you need it. All praises go to anyone who helps people to get through natural disasters. 🙏
My parents sold firewood in the 80’s and 90’s dad started with Homelite then moved on to Poulan then Stihl and Husqvarna. I always liked the Husky’s better. Dad and I had a little contest me using the 272xp and him with his 044 Stihl, I got him by 4-5 seconds. Dad has been gone a long time 😢 still have the old 272 running strong! You and he were cut from the same cloth sounds like. Recently found your channel love it!!!
I know what you mean about enjoying cutting your firewood. People just don't get why I enjoy spending the time that I do cutting, splitting, and stacking it. Thanks for sharing another great video.
Ive got short legs, so a 24" bar gets me to the dirt. Long bar is most definitely easier on the back. As far as the touch up filing, when logging with my dad, i would file my chain as many times as it took to keep it razor sharp. If the saw isn't pulling itself through the wood, its dull, or the rakers need to be touched. A sharp cain is a safe chain! Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
I will be talking all the information you gave me and the 365 with the 28 in bar you thankfully suggested to Dad's tomorrow to buck up and 30in plus white pine that blue down Monday night thanks Buckin for everything you taught me!!!
Everytime I come on here I learn something new. Yeah believe it, 65 years old and still learning. Couple weeks ago I went and bought me a 25" bar and chain. 50cc saw but could use a bigger saw but my back thanks you for the longer bar. Today, great lesson on keeping the saw out of the dirt. Just keeps getting better. Thanks to ya ,as usual.
I think Ewen should come to BC! Where we grow trees! A special guest. The kid has such a good attitude. It would be so cool for him to hold and hear a ported saw. Axes are cool, but I knew what I wanted after I ran my parents Homelite XL in 1978 at the age of 12. The rest is history. There is a rare day I don't use a chainsaw. And, when well maintained, saws bring joy to my life. This includes all saws, band, circular, chain ,recip, and meat. I probably forgot one or two more. Easy cutting is a joy. Keep on spreading the word.
I never dreamed I would be cutting 35-40 cords with my worn out back at 59. Never cut that much wood in my life in one summer. This 5'8'' Old man "Stands up and Bucks" with 25" bar and 80cc at 9000 ft elevation. Thanks Buckin! Changed my life!
Buckin, just wanted to say thank you . And my back thanks you for the longer bar idea. I can cut twice as long as I could before. The move from an 028AV 20 inch bar to a 661 with a 32 inch bar was life changing. Thank You.
Yessir, I’m with this guy. Made the switch from 20” to 32” so much better. I see old guys cuttin with 20” bars and I shake my head, they have no idea. Thank you Buckin!!
Buckin One of these days I'll have a bigger power saw and bar but for now My Husky 455 Rancher will have to do. I ran a 20inch but up it to a 24inch bar BIG difference. Also since I've been watching you for about 2 years now my chain sharping skills have totally improved in both machine and hand filing. Thanks for all these videos
You can throw a 28 on your 455 and be just fine. I don't like really bearing down on any of my saws, but that rancher can handle a bigger bigger bar if you just let it do the work.
Your not kidding... long bar rocks... I'm still doing some residential pruning and in the market for a little hand held chain saw with perhaps a 8" bar. Tiny battery chain could save my elbow. I love the hand saws that i use, folks look at my hand saw and say "you're not gonna cut that big branch with that little hand saw " 6" or 8" branch... And one minute later I'm through, but at 68 yrs old it's reeking havoc on my elbows. 💪
For water proofing.boots n clothing I use erosol spray CAMP DRY.on clothing too it works. .my saw of choice is jonsered turbo n second is old red ,,,yup homlite super XL .I been harvesting fire wood for 45 plus years in southern md.mostly OAK . I love running the old saw listening to them wide open in the power band. thanks for sharing. God bless yall real good .
Hi Buckin, in reguards to your Stihl 500i. I suspect the fuel mapping curve of the M-tronics is what you take issue with on the 500i, hence all the 4 stroking before fully loaded. Because the saw is so strong they are trying to protect against a lean condition at all costs. The humid conditions of your region might be contributing to the issue vs Pennsylvania. It's all about fuel air mixture and you can't control that! Give the 500i a test run on an unusually dry day for you location and see if it makes a difference.
To me, there’s nothing in firewood cutting that’s a burden or aggravating. I hand file and love the results. I use big bars and bigs saws because I like them. I’m having the time of my life and I have people like Buckin to thank for it. 💪🪓💪
I’m from Tennessee and by experience you learn real quick a long bar is safer than a little 20 inch. Little bar your bent over and that much closer to the tip in a kick back. Further away from the tip the better.
Love your videos here's my take on the long bar it just makes sense i worked as a lumberjack for 15 years in northern ontario and when i started i used a 16 inch bar because that's all they sold at the time .We cut trees anywhere from 4inch in diameter to 25 inches sometimes bigger but we were paid on a piecework system meaning the more you cut down and were brought to roadside with a cable skidder the more you were paid . So my point is when i was cutting down trees and cutting the branches off for 8 hours a day bending over would take its toll on your back so it didn't take long that i figure out i needed to go to with a longer bar and it made my life easier and i still use one today cutting fire would . keep those videos coming we can all learn something from them .
They only sold a bar that long because chain links used to break. With a broken chain, you have the full power of that saw whipping that chain around. Chains don't break like they used to anymore. 💪
Buckin I used a ported and piped 562 at the last place I worked and that saw simply changed the way I think about powersaws. We ran all husky saws there too and I’m a husky man now too
My back likes me so much better since i switch to a long bar. Also like the safety of being further from the chain. Thanks for the advice over the years Buck.
Buckin. Another one of your great teaching videos. A big thank you for coming into my life and showing and teaching me so much on filing and bucking and all about the prep. Keep them coming. ❤ you’re the best my friend.
I cut wood for myself only. I screwed my back up about 9 years ago and have deteriation in my back and it gets worse every year but I make sure I get out and cut enough wood to get me through every year I also burn coal at night with my wood so the neighbors don't complain. I'm 6'10 and about 325lbs if the wood is on the ground I'll cut on my knees.. but you have been showing me different ways of sharpening a chain and never really thought about taking an axe and chopped the dirt didn't think much about it that's probably why I sharpen my chains as much as I do. Thank you for all your advice. By the way I'm from Ohio
Merry Christmas Super Dude! When I’m running my saws or even dragging brush I think ‘what would Buckin do?’ He’d make this a pleasure not a chore. You’re with us and we’re with you. Thanx
Hi Buckin, I am from Ireland. Some great tips in this video. You are a remarkable man. Great strength of mind to keep going at what you love. 💪. Take care. Happy Christmas
Bought my 500i when they 1st came out, 28 inch bar, and I'm telling ya, it runs sooooo much better now than it did even a year ago. And I live in Ohio where we cut mostly silver Maple, Oak, Cherry, Ash, you get the picture. I just can't believe how much better it runs now than when it was brand new.
Was there any modifications done...? Different gas... ported... different plugs or oil...? Just breaking it in over a period of time can have a positive effect on gas motors.✅
I've mentioned it a few times in past videos but long bars really are a game changer. I cut mainly hardwood firewood and even though a 18' bar would cut 99.9% of the stuff that's not the reason I use a long bar. If you're bending over cutting small blocks for firewood then the posture difference with a long bar makes a world of difference. For reference I use a 60cc Stihl 340 with a full house full chisel chain.
Rock on Buckin!! Since watching your channel, I have got myself longer bars, and boy, total game changer!! And I am a Husky guy also, they just feel much better in my hands, but I also have a mixture from stihl, echo, Mac, and they all have their purpose or petina😊😊 great video brother, love ya😊
I'm with you on every aspect of the content scared. I've been running a saw for 37 yrs . I've seen things learned things forgot alot of "things". But you can't forget common sense. God bless you brother Merry Christmas Billy and family. ❤
I own 3 husky 562's, along with about 10 other saws. That 562 is an angry, wood eating saw with just a pipe on it. I have been blown away by the performance from that 60cc saw. Get one, pipe it and you won't go back! 👍
Looks like so much fun, I enjoy these videos. The tips/tricks with the prep is great 👍 P.s. I miss the Makita/Dolmar in action, need some colour in the collection again. Thanks !
Most saw shop salesman and folk in general directly relate bar length to wood diameter & its obvious why. You to buck or fall wood of a particular diameter, u need a bar length appropriate for that. But longer bars have other advantages, more cutters dividing up the work equates to longer intervals between sharpening, body position completely changes, u can stand up. Dont get me wrong I love a super lightweight 35cc rear handle MS201c for fast limbing of small diameter wood. But when running 65cc and up a nice 28"+ b/c is comfort.
I bought my Dad a 562 xpg when he was getting a litt older. He traded his 575 xp and 575 xpg to me for them. The 575s sit on the shelf, 372 xpg is the go to. My favorite is my 371 xpg. Husky all the way!
I’m with you on taking advantage of the saws Wieght when bucking . I buck a lot of logs at my sawmill with my old macs , 850,650, 10-10s I run 24” bars and with the heavy macs it takes my back bending away . And I love to run the old macs especially when people come around and I can show them off .
I live n the south, Mississippi, and the smallest saw I have or have ever owned is a 60cc 24” saw… way before I watched a Buckin video and when I got it I did so because the guy at the saw shop said I didn’t need it so I bought it anyway
I'm 6'4' Buckin always used a long bar. Easy peasy. 28 inch. Never a 32. I'm not rich, the bigger things are the more cost. Might get a 32 one day. Peace out bro.
We have smaller trees where I am so I can get away with a smaller bar and smaller saw for the most part but I do have a few long bars 25 to 36 inch bars for my bigger saws
MS 500I stock is 13.9 lbs and 6.7 hp. The 572 is 14.5 lbs and 5.8 hp. Either Ripsaw is getting more power from porting the 572 or there is limitations on the 500I due to fuel delivery. Stock the 500I has almost 1 hp more power.
I’ve never owned a husky. I chose the Stihl 500i because the huskies felt like a lot of thin plastic. The Stihl felt more solid to me. But now I wanna get a husky to try it.
Buckin there's a Husqvarna logo in your DNA . PA is at a higher altitude than Cedar. Stihl probably has an air fule mixture ratio in the fuel injection computer and it will not let it go leaner or richer than that setting at sea level your probably as rich as it will allow. 2 strokes lean is mean but hot and you can wreck things easier 😀 Be kind
Loving the square ground chain on my long bars, cuts mean as, put an order in for a full pack of double beveled files, NZD$505 delivered to NZ, should be gud for awhile mate
Ran a 20" bar the other day for the first time in a long while to make some oak branches a reasonable size for the burn pile, and it was actually scary... The chain is right in close to thighs and shins. 100% agree 32" bar is safer/less work.
Buckin, have you considered getting or making a bark spud to clean up those nasty trees? You could make one out of an old leaf spring pretty easily. Or do you just prefer the axe?
I upgraded my Stihl 025 to 18" bar from 16" ... they told me at the shop that's the longest bar that saw can handle. Back pain can be managed with an exercise ball... build up your core strength and back pain will be better. " Ride the ball"
HI BUCKIN 😊😊 IVE seen chains like that be 4 U can sharpen both sides they won't stay sharp 1 side cuts and the other doesn't then the teeth on the chain get 2 where U can't sharp that 1 side or the last 2 teeth it's worth the time 😮😮 U are better off 2 put another chain on if U have clean the logs or wood U just have 2 do so 😊😊 or U will be sharpening the chain again cutting through dirt and sand and rocks are going 2 worst than that then U will 4 OR 5 times sharpen the chain 2 get it back 2 where it was be 4 / 2 where U were when U started 😮😮 U will get tired 😴😮 of that PDQ U will be doing more sharpening than cutting wood 😮😮 OMG 12 12 2O23
Lol that’s funny my partner isn’t a tree guy handles more of the landscaping side of business and when I’m running long bar I don’t carry very much I run it across log and use the bar to hold its weight whenever I can and he said to me last week why do you always rest the bar on the log or the ground or whatever. I laughed and said because I want to be able to use my arms tomorrow
If the 500i runs different at your home than it does in Pennsylvania, I'm really curious how the 572 would do there. Could you bring it next time you visit ripsaw?
I know you prefer full house chain, but would you do a comparison on the 572 with a skiptooth chain to see how it compares to the full house with high rakers?

Those live oak and water oak are no joke.

I'm 6'4' Buckin always used a long bar. Easy peasy. 28 inch. Never a 32. I'm not rich, the bigger things are the more cost. Might get a 32 one day. Peace out bro.
Heck ya Ahwoooo get one 👍
Mery Christmas buddy
We have smaller trees where I am so I can get away with a smaller bar and smaller saw for the most part but I do have a few long bars 25 to 36 inch bars for my bigger saws
MS 500I stock is 13.9 lbs and 6.7 hp. The 572 is 14.5 lbs and 5.8 hp. Either Ripsaw is getting more power from porting the 572 or there is limitations on the 500I due to fuel delivery. Stock the 500I has almost 1 hp more power.
Buckin nerf of steel!!!❤
The daw runs different because of relative humidity.
Same thing would happen with your motorcycle.
Just a carb adjustment though
I’ve never owned a husky. I chose the Stihl 500i because the huskies felt like a lot of thin plastic. The Stihl felt more solid to me. But now I wanna get a husky to try it.
Me when bark dirty..I try to take the upper part of my bar...so the saw dust help not dull my chain
i have a beater saw that i finish my bucks with 🤣
The elevation down that way (ripsaw) is 1200-1500ish’ I believe so maybe that has to do with the difference in power.
Buckin there's a Husqvarna logo in your DNA . PA is at a higher altitude than Cedar. Stihl probably has an air fule mixture ratio in the fuel injection computer and it will not let it go leaner or richer than that setting at sea level your probably as rich as it will allow.
2 strokes lean is mean but hot and you can wreck things easier 😀 Be kind
Loving the square ground chain on my long bars, cuts mean as, put an order in for a full pack of double beveled files, NZD$505 delivered to NZ, should be gud for awhile mate
You running a stihl is like me running a husky, there will never be a husky that suits me, no hard feelings,merry Christmas all
Ran a 20" bar the other day for the first time in a long while to make some oak branches a reasonable size for the burn pile, and it was actually scary... The chain is right in close to thighs and shins. 100% agree 32" bar is safer/less work.
661 is my next. 500i is a beast. Threw a 46 on it and used the alaskan mill
We went from Sthils to the 2100 Husqvarnas , buckin on the landing. Three to four footers all day . Been a Husky man ever since . 👍🇨🇦
2100 is a legend
Hearing a bit of the 4stroking again with the 500 at part throttle and not under full load… different weather?
Lean your saw out till it seizes and then fatten it up a bit
Don't worry about those people that get after you for using a long bar to buck , Billy . I use a 30 in one to buck . My does not hurt as bad .
be kind
Buckin, have you considered getting or making a bark spud to clean up those nasty trees? You could make one out of an old leaf spring pretty easily. Or do you just prefer the axe?
A leaf spring is what the old timers used here to peel pulp wood, then load them on rail cars by hand. We are not as tough as they were.
26:52 "if the rakers were lower I wouldn't be able to lean"
Can someone explain this please? Thanks
I have an 18" bar on my Stihl 251. I can verify that the back pain is REAL
Yes sir
I upgraded my Stihl 025 to 18" bar from 16" ... they told me at the shop that's the longest bar that saw can handle.
Back pain can be managed with an exercise ball... build up your core strength and back pain will be better.
" Ride the ball"
@@jirusjirus9322 or I should buy a bigger saw 🤷♂️
HI BUCKIN 😊😊 IVE seen chains like that be 4 U can sharpen both sides they won't stay sharp 1 side cuts and the other doesn't then the teeth on the chain get 2 where U can't sharp that 1 side or the last 2 teeth it's worth the time 😮😮 U are better off 2 put another chain on if U have clean the logs or wood U just have 2 do so 😊😊 or U will be sharpening the chain again cutting through dirt and sand and rocks are going 2 worst than that then U will 4 OR 5 times sharpen the chain 2 get it back 2 where it was be 4 / 2 where U were when U started 😮😮 U will get tired 😴😮 of that PDQ U will be doing more sharpening than cutting wood 😮😮 OMG 12 12 2O23
Now is that a fir balsam you have for a Christmas tree if so a little diff from up north here.
No
👍👍👍
".....if it doesn't, keep bending over" 😂
Lol that’s funny my partner isn’t a tree guy handles more of the landscaping side of business and when I’m running long bar I don’t carry very much I run it across log and use the bar to hold its weight whenever I can and he said to me last week why do you always rest the bar on the log or the ground or whatever.
I laughed and said because I want to be able to use my arms tomorrow
If the 500i runs different at your home than it does in Pennsylvania, I'm really curious how the 572 would do there. Could you bring it next time you visit ripsaw?
Hey Billybobaroonie appreciate ya too
I’m a Stihl guy day in day out. But buckin watching you use your husqvarna and the 500 I. I would purchase a husky. They out run that Stihl.
Me, too. But Buck’n has me looking at Husky’s and from my research they kick Stihls ass in speed and construction.
I’m a husky fella
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith
I currently run a Stihl 461. What husky would you recommend to replace that.
I know you prefer full house chain, but would you do a comparison on the 572 with a skiptooth chain to see how it compares to the full house with high rakers?
