    I really enjoying seeing the whole process not a shortened chopped up and edited version. Pun intended, it’s hard to appreciate how much work goes into a job when you only see a few snaps here and there. I also enjoy seeing all the varieties of power saws you have used on this monster…. Have a great day everybody, and thank you all for your support!!

    Bucking, I've been kinda like you on the 500. Back in the day, I didn't think it was worth it over the 462, 044, or other 70CC saws. Even after I got one, I wasn't completely sold on it. Now that it's getting 10-20 tanks of gas through her, I'm loving it more and more, and is with me for jobs with bigger timber, and when I'm working in tighter forests.

    No matter what tool a person is using to feed their family, treat that tool like, it is the last one made. No more parts will be made to repair it. It's the last one. My father told me that, when I broke my first bicycle in half. I had to buy the next one. Tough lesson, but it worked for me.

    I've had a 500i for about a year, my first pro saw. It's totally stock and it's a beast, I never understood the issues my man is reporting. I'm cutting Aussie hardwood like Ironbark and Greygum- screams though them like a beast. I can't imagine how well it would go in light stuff in this video. I also love limbing and light stuff with it because of how fast it accelerates. You touch the throttle and she's up and going.

    Hello Buckin love your videos. I have been using husky’s and Stihl saws both for the last 30 years in Ontario . My all time favourite saws are the 288 Xp and the 066 mag. But like you I picked up my first 562xp this year and have been well pleased with it. I half hoped we would see the old 394 make a appearance in this log but maybe next one lol. Keep spreading your good words as I’m sure we all like to hear them in todays climate.

We did need to every now and then pull out and let the oil run to the end of the bar! It was hard and dry! And before anyone says anything the auto oiler was all the way open! Went through a lot of oil! Still lots of fun!

    I like and run husky but I'm not against running the competition. A 261c or 500i isn't out of the question but a 550mkii or 592 to compliment my 572 is in the future.

    Hey Buckin', maybe a stupid question but i notice you very rarely bogged the saw down and that's some really big wood. I think I saw you maybe once. What am I doing wrong when I'm cutting big wood and the saw bogs down? Is the chain not sharp enough? Are the rakers too aggressive? Or is it all about power? Or VERY GOOD possibility it's the operator?!?! I'm pretty new to cutting bigger wood. I'm running a M462 with 28" bar. I love the saw but just curious how to get the most out of it when buckin' bigger logs (25-40"). Thank you sir!

      From what I’ve learned from BBR is it’s about the chain sharpness and chain speed. And the operator allowing the saw to do the cutting. Most dig in the dogs and it slows everything down, gotta keep those rpm ups.

      Try Oregon, stihl files don’t last . Depends on bar length . But 4 or 5 filings on a 32 in bar is about it per file

    Your saw is using so much fuel that it’s draining the battery on my iPad faster
