I bought a Mac 610 for 15 bucks at a yard sale I didn't even know what a McCulloch chainsaw was but now its my favorite brand of chainsaw I love your videos buckin keep up the great videos
Buckin’ long time no contact but as I mostly run 610’s (& one 650) I can’t help but smile to see the little 610 in your skilled hands. What a joy l’m grinning ear to ear. Can’t wait to see how she does with the 28 on her. Keep the greatness coming!!!-Mac
I'm so glad to see Hogan helping you out with the firewood. My best memories of my dad was when we were cutting and splitting wood. Damn, I miss him so much! Great video as always, stay safe my friend!
LOVE That old Ford! My grand father had one just like that in Alabama. Great memories. For pulp wood he had a Poulan with a Bow Blade, lots of memories there too...just not as much fun.
Benjamin Franklins boys are doing fine thank you kind sir. Taught the boys how to dive crayfish and spear fish during their hollidays. They have caught their first crays and keeping wanting me to take them on their next dive. Wait till little Matthew finds out that uncle "Bucky Ray" asked about them. Loving the channel - a big hello to all the members out there.
Nice to see a father and son team! Nothing like having the kids along :) By the way, I'm in power saw mourning today...one of the guys who was with us on the clean up today, had to fall a 75' spruce leaning somewhat towards the powerline. He made the undercut at the wrong place, miscalculated the wind totally, the tree went down almost catching the powerline...it evaded the powerline, but not my trusty old 262...have never ever seen a powersaw as flattened as that thing, even the bar looks like a Z.. Haha!! Just glad no one got hurt.
Those wood hooks are pulp hooks, back east they used them to load pulp on the trucks, little harder to do that out here tho! Love you videos and someday I may have to order an axe off ya! Keep up the good work ole feller
Dad ran two of those for probably 20 years between the two (never more than about 6 or 8 cords of cutting in a given year). Heavy saws and not fast, but he liked them - too heavy for me to run long when I was on the young side of teenage and bugging him to work under his supervision. I don't think they were expensive and they never really cost him much in service over the years. The exhaust on them makes them sound deep, and they have a funny ringing idle.
one of McCulloch's best saws.. bought 4 of them for 25 bucks each.. reset the tuning.. gassed them up all of them fired from a cold start in under 6 pulls
Love to see the 610 I have 7 of them I use for me self ,,,put the 28" on it ,and run the hell out of it I have never seen one quit and simple to work on, plus you can get them all day long for like 50$ bucks 👍👍
Nice seeing a PM610. My dad has had one of these since the 80s. I remember it growing up and he still has it. Have seen him buck his fair of firewood with it and I have used it quite alot myself. Its a pretty good runner with a good chain of course.
Another great video buckin! Been watching u for a year or so now, love the content, im running stihls and husqys now but that pro mac 610 was my first saw about 15 years ago, keep the vids comming dude! 😁
I have a pm 610 myself,local shop fixed up a 28" bar for it. Works great Billy! I like the saw so much l bought another one,that came up for sale near me!
ENJOY YOUR SHOW VERY MUCH , I'VE ENJOYED & LEARNT SO MUCH FROM WATCHING & LISTENING TO YOU TALKING ❗I TAKE IT YOUR FROM CANADA ❗ VERY MUCH ENJOY & YOUR WAY OF LOOKING AT LIFE 🔥☠️💀☠️😎❗
Cj and timber drew you some pictures, I'll have to send them with alil gift I made ya to show my appreciation for this fan dandy axe you made for us a wile back! As always, stay safe our friend, Bradley, cj an timber.
Nice looking axe handles. I must burnish one of mine...Looks good. Ps Sorry I haven't commented for a coupla days.....family birthday visits....Mel...62......Ethan 4.........lots of work to do too. Love to all...everyone keep safe and be kind. Small kindnesses mount up.......BFN.....Wonderhorse
Picked myself up an old PM 610 before finding your channel, Buckin. Glad I found your channel for sure. Had to rebuild that old 610, with a 610 Super piston & cylinder and of course threw a 28" McCulloch bar & chain on it. Love that saw and it's growl, it has the torque to get through a lot (surprises the Stihl guys here too). Has the silly large brake handle on it though which gets in the way of filling the oil. Interesting that mine came with dogs on both sides of the bar, and some have no dogs... I now have a Pro Mac 10-10 hanging in the garage waiting for a carb rebuild, and a bar & chain as well. Can't wait to run it!
That Golden Retriever walking around really wanted you to give him a pat on the back. LOL Silly dog. Made me nervous walking around while you were swingin that axe ;)
Must be an earlier model without a chain brake? Because I have that same saw and it has a brake .... I love that saw with all my heart.... and yes the Oiler is super weird on that thing.... mine included thank god it has a manual thumb pump wish the new saws came with them
Great to c hogan. tell victorious victor to pay him more so he can get a set of tires on that Dotson .great to see you using the 610 that warrenty is void on that now because of the chain brake removal He he !!!
I just found your channel a couple of days ago. I'm not into chainsaws or logging but I really enjoy watching you. I do like axes for camping and have a little Husqvarna 13". I'm from Alabama. You're a cool guy!
So Glad to see you using the 610! These are the saws that I cut my teeth on with my Grandfather. Nothing like the 60-70's macs like you are used to but to me they were heaven! The smell of 2 stroke in the morning : ) He gave me a Mac timberbear, it was the newest model of the 610 before they stopped production. Has a much better chain brake handle on it. Pro tip on starting, the trigger safety on the handle is basically like a built in high idle. Its had to explain but if you pull the trigger a little and pull up on the spur on the top of the handle it will hold the throttle open a little. You might know this but it didn't look like it was engaged. Do that and choke it and it will start much faster. My olier does the exact same thing. have to pump it manual a few times before the auto kicks in. Love the videos Buckin! I was SO excited to see a 610 out!
I bought a hydraulic log splitter about 4 months BEFORE I found your channel. Makes me wanna take it back now! REAL men split by hand! Welcome friends, from KC
Depends on the wood I think. I have plenty of gnarly crap and splintery wood that would NEVER split this easily. I used to split by hand and it got really tiring after so many years. Now I just love using the wood splitter.
@@Jason-wc3fh I had never used a hydraulic splitter but this season we got onto a new place. First 2 loads out of there were gnarly Australian grey box. Took me 2 weeks to split the first load. Bought a 30 ton splitter and took me 20 mins to split the 2nd load. REAL men in my opinion work smarter not harder
Great to see you and Hogan working together..I bet your very first Christmas gift was an axe..lol Have a great day all, Take Care and Be safe out there..
I have sunk more steel wedges in bulk pine then I care to say I have an old homesite 330 and an old eager beaver Manuel because of you buckin that I would love for you to work on. I love your vids just awesome. Coming from a tree guy like yourself
Lots of people bash the 610 and timberbear models, they are good saws but have weak oilers in my opinion they will outcut a 10-10. By the way Billy it looks like yours had a 10-10 clutch cover, I wish pin oak split that easy with a axe
Be cool if there was a spot on the truck you could use a paint marker like under the hood and make marks for ever cord of wood you haul with it. Then when she bites the dust you can count it all up and see how much of the forest she has moved.
Just curious, why do you say they are not a 10-10 or PM 555? I have 2 610's and a PM 700. 610's run strong with a 20 inch bar but the 700 with a 24 inch bar still much stronger in my opinion.
@@DMJ160 Hey Dave! I have a half dozen 610's, a half dozen 10-10's, of different variants and a Pro Mac 555, and the 610's struggle to keep up with the smaller saws. I run 20 inch bars on my 610's as well, because they start struggling with anything over that. I've run a 24" skip tooth on them and they did OK. Nothing special. Now the 10-10's and my 555, they will pull 28 inch bars just fine. The 610's will not, I've tried it. They'll pull it, but they bog down VERY easy with the longer bars. So I should say, they will not pull longer bars as effective as the 10-10 or 555. My comment was more aimed towards where the company was at, at the time of when these saws were produced. The 610's came on line, after Black and Decker sold McCulloch, to a private company, which was the beginning of the end, of the legacy Robert McCulloch started. Most, if not all, (I'm not an expert on the McCulloch Corporation), of the 10-10's and the 555 were made back when Robert McCulloch still owned the company, or when Black and Decker owned them, and still believed in higher quality. After the private company bought them, they started with plastic parts, they were being made in Mexico, and the overall quality, just wasn't there, like the older, all metal saws. That's what I was getting at. I still like and use my 610's, they are just not up to the quality level of my 10-10's and 555. I will say, I'm hoping to get a 700 one of these days. I have a couple Stihl 461's, so I don't really have a use for a 70cc McCulloch, other than, just because. So that puts it down on the priority list a bit.
@@johndunbar2393 Thank you for the info! It shows a "Power Mac 610" was made from 1978 -1985 and a "Super Pro Mac 610" 1985-1994 on www.acresinternet.com site. They look the same. I have seen some 610s' with a assembled in Mexico label on them.
@@DMJ160 Yep, Black and Decker had it for a decade. I know mine all have Pro Mac 610 on them and they were made in Mexico. Got me curious now Dave. I'll have to see if I can find anything showing the differences between the Power Mac and Pro Mac. I does seem some of that style started showing up in the Black and Decker era. Even the Pro Mac 650 was made from 78 to 85, if that site is 100% correct, and the picture is the same for it as well. So, I'm not real sure! Lol! I just know the 10-10's and 555's are a different animal, even though they give up a few cc's.
"...a SKOOKUM(?!?!?!) cord of wood..." What...in.. the ...sam...hill...is...a... SKOOKUM?!?!?!?!?!?! /sigh..Must be one of them special kanuck woids :D ROFL Someone with more time than me needs to do a "Best of Buckin's Words" some time... I wind up laughing so hard at most the vids...
How much more wood would that be if it were split to “fireplace” size??? (Well it wouldn’t really be any more, but it would split to way more than a cord...)
Cool saw! Do you happen to know much about the pro mac 655? That's the one I have from that lineup. It seems to be the oddball one as I can't find much info on it at all. I know the 650 was a factory hot rod as it has an extra port added to the piston. I assume the 655 is the same as myn is stock and super plucky! I will do a video on myn soon I'm just trying to find out more about it first :p cheers Buckin! Any help is appreciated!
Hey Billy i'm new to the channel and have really enjoyed your videos. I have a question regarding McCulloch saws.. Locally there is a old mac 10-10 and a 3214 for sale and i was wondering if they are good saws for felling trees and if you knew more about them spec wise? Thanks in advance! Skyler Wilson
S Wilson WELCOME! Great to have you along on the Buckin Billy Ray Experience!!! Your application for the Buckin Army-Soldiers of Kindness: 1. Agree to Spread the message of Kindness. 2. Where in the world are you from? 3. How did you find the Buckin Billy Ray Channel? 4. Be Happy Be Joyful Be Kind! ps.don't be afraid of the numerous alter personalities that may appear ie. Sven, Cletus, Olga.....who knows how many more may be hidden in the shadows of Buckin's mind! Welcome😉🌲👍
dad had two of them (we cut our own firewood, but nothing more) and neither had dogs, either. They were a heavy slow saw but they had a great sounding idle. He got a mid range husky about 15 years ago and that was the end of those saws (his were worn out, though, I'll give him credit - he "used them up")
I've got 3 nice 610s I love. (actually 7 of them, 5 run good, 2 I'm sellin, 3 I'm keepin). Great saws if not a little heavy but great saws. You ever had issue with one if you tip it too far foward wanting to flood? Mine seem to do that. Think the oiler is biggest issue on these, it's a diaphragm type and eventually wears out. Ol Bob in NY sold me a couple new old stock ones but they are 20 years old already now too! haha. Don't know if I'll be able to use em much when those poop out unless I could make a new diaphragm out of somethin.
you couldn't sell pine upstate NY for fire wood, maybe kindling at a low price. OK you know that. I sure would like to see you use an axe on 25" diam t maple and oak you fell in the woods. HE HE
Buster, I went through the same confusion. Says with McCulloch oil 40:1 anything else...20:1. I find it hard to think there is a difference in McCulloch 2 cycle oil v.s. other brand 2 cycle oil. If I am correct? McCulloch didn't make oil just had their name on the container. 3.2 ounce of oil to 1 gallon gas gives you 40:1. I go 3.6 ounce to a gallon which gives 36:1. My run fine with that ratio. I get about 9 gallons of mixed fuel with a 1 quart container.
I bought a Mac 610 for 15 bucks at a yard sale I didn't even know what a McCulloch chainsaw was but now its my favorite brand of chainsaw I love your videos buckin keep up the great videos
Love the 610 had one for 37 years still cutting wood

I just picked up a 610 pm. Took the carb apart cleaned it put some fresh fuel in and she runs like a top!
@@danielp4507 I’m so excited for ya!!! Good luck with it. Be kind!!
Love spending time with my kids, especially outdoors. They're little now, but I can't wait till they can swing an axe too.
The 610 actually surprised me! I know it’s not exactly your forte but the old girl still put a smile on your face!! Love to you and the family❤️
I'm so glad to see Hogan helping you out with the firewood. My best memories of my dad was when we were cutting and splitting wood. Damn, I miss him so much! Great video as always, stay safe my friend!

A nice Monday evening with Buckin' Billy Ray!
Father and son team up! Very nice!
All the best!
It's always great to have the kids helping and learning!
I started with a pm 650. I think it's the same as a 610 but has a hot carb on it... great saw.
Good to see Hogan helping his Pa!!!! What a fine Lad!!!!

I love that truck we haven't seen a Mercury pick up down here in our area.
Nice to see a father and son team! Nothing like having the kids along :) By the way, I'm in power saw mourning today...one of the guys who was with us on the clean up today, had to fall a 75' spruce leaning somewhat towards the powerline. He made the undercut at the wrong place, miscalculated the wind totally, the tree went down almost catching the powerline...it evaded the powerline, but not my trusty old 262...have never ever seen a powersaw as flattened as that thing, even the bar looks like a Z.. Haha!! Just glad no one got hurt.
TheNorthener may he rest in pieces then ;)
I'm pretty sure it does...Haha!
The 262 oh no sad to hear about your loss
It's just a thing...just glad no one were injured or worse. It was a good little saw though :)
im Glad no one was hurt and the power lines were avoided. thoes powerlines are some costly buggers are they not my friends. Be Kind Friend
Hey Buckin I have to say I love watching you split wood thank you Great to see you and the Boy working together...👍❤️🙏☮️✌️
Looks like the 610 Is cuttin nice. It's all in the filing 😃👍
Those wood hooks are pulp hooks, back east they used them to load pulp on the trucks, little harder to do that out here tho! Love you videos and someday I may have to order an axe off ya! Keep up the good work ole feller

I don't think they were expensive and they never really cost him much in service over the years. The exhaust on them makes them sound deep, and they have a funny ringing idle.
Was having a really bad day, felt mad enough to punch something, too. Started watching some Buckin' Billy Ray and the feeling just kinda went away.
Those pulp hooks work great been using them for years👍great video buckin
love those 610s
one of McCulloch's best saws.. bought 4 of them for 25 bucks each.. reset the tuning.. gassed them up all of them fired from a cold start in under 6 pulls
I know this is an old video but the 610 is the same saw Clark Griswold used in Christmas Vacation haha
Love to see the 610 I have 7 of them I use for me self ,,,put the 28" on it ,and run the hell out of it I have never seen one quit and simple to work on, plus you can get them all day long for like 50$ bucks 👍👍
Kevin Cowan hey Kevin i have two 610s with 20" bars.do you reckon they would balance out more with a bigger bar.. ?
Yes 28" bar is perfect that's what I use on them can't bet it
Kevin Cowan thanks for the reply i will look out for 28" bar 🖒
If you have a spare bar, witch you want to sell...please contact me, I've a 610 without any bar. The engine runs perfect.
Kevin Cowan had one since 82 still cutting wood the Mac nobody loved
Nice seeing a PM610. My dad has had one of these since the 80s. I remember it growing up and he still has it. Have seen him buck his fair of firewood with it and I have used it quite alot myself. Its a pretty good runner with a good chain of course.
9 ft bed, very nice ..your pick looks like it can handle quite the pay load .
Another great video buckin! Been watching u for a year or so now, love the content, im running stihls and husqys now but that pro mac 610 was my first saw about 15 years ago, keep the vids comming dude! 😁
Dude I can't believe how much I love watching you Crack wood never thought growing up I'd enjoy watching something split firewood so muck lol
I have a pm 610 myself,local shop fixed up a 28" bar for it. Works great Billy! I like the saw so much l bought another one,that came up for sale near me!

Hey Buckin would that be awesome to change the world to be kind that would be awesome let’s try Brother...👍❤️🙏☮️✌️
love that truck
I miss when your channel was all about McCulloch
I understand going to newer typo of saws
But I miss the old content
You guys sure get the moss on the trees in BC!!!!!
Try Wales in the UK. Moss on everything! If I stood still long enough, I'd get moss on me. Wet, wet and wet!
Up there the moss is so heavy they got moss bogs (muskeg)
kinda strange to see green underbrush - this time of year here, it's all brown and shriveled. good job splitting sir!
nice axe i want one
Be cool if there was a spot on the truck you could use a paint marker like under the hood and make marks for ever cord of wood you haul with it. Then when she bites the dust you can count it all up and see how much of the forest she has moved.

In Australia we would say it was a "fair dinkum" cord of wood (except that we go by the cubic meter 😂😂😂😂)
I here it a lot in Washington state were I live,,,,,,, a "first nations" word...... onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-definition-of/skookum
Thanks Big T !!!
I like the Jonsered 2250s it's a fast chainsaw with 14,500 rpm.
If I was there, I would grab the other end of that acacia board and help you haul it up there.
That maple is gonna be a wee bit harder to split than that straight grain doug fir ............
How much more wood would that be if it were split to “fireplace” size??? (Well it wouldn’t really be any more, but it would split to way more than a cord...)
I load a cord of quarter rounds into my truck, and when it's all split up I tend to get about 20% more than what I started with.
Your axing technique is on another level
Cool saw! Do you happen to know much about the pro mac 655? That's the one I have from that lineup. It seems to be the oddball one as I can't find much info on it at all. I know the 650 was a factory hot rod as it has an extra port added to the piston. I assume the 655 is the same as myn is stock and super plucky! I will do a video on myn soon I'm just trying to find out more about it first :p cheers Buckin! Any help is appreciated!
i love my McCULLOCH pro mac 610. i just got it 4 days ago.
i got a McCULLOCH mac 15 at the same time but i can't get it to run
What a good kid loading up firewood
Can't wait till i can take my boy out! He's only 8 months old though hahaha
24inch bar is fine , if you put a 28 you can lose some power cut
I've got a 36" on mine running skip chain. Here on the West Coast we cut a lot of big soft wood, I'd rather have more bar than more speed honestly.

Hey Billy i'm new to the channel and have really enjoyed your videos. I have a question regarding McCulloch saws.. Locally there is a old mac 10-10 and a 3214 for sale and i was wondering if they are good saws for felling trees and if you knew more about them spec wise? Thanks in advance! Skyler Wilson

Welcome😉🌲👍
Thanks for not using Fiskars everyone. Vintage US steel are the ONLY axes.
Saw a 610 at the pawnshop today for $60 I think I need to go back and get it.
Be kind friends.It cost you nothing.
White pine, especially whit pine dosnet work that that way. In the USA
Hey billy every try busting sweet gum
That 610 is a little different looking. Looks like it cuts pretty good though.
I bought a 610 and it didn’t have any dogs on it either. I wonder if that was common on that model. What do you think?
dad had two of them (we cut our own firewood, but nothing more) and neither had dogs, either. They were a heavy slow saw but they had a great sounding idle. He got a mid range husky about 15 years ago and that was the end of those saws (his were worn out, though, I'll give him credit - he "used them up")
hey Buckin , what fuel mix do you make for your older saws , I have an old pioneer p61 and i am not sure of the mix for the old girl?
Buckin uses a 42:1 fuel mixture. He has never burned up a saw,,,
Thanks snowman , You GUYS are TREEEEMENDOUS !!!!!!!!
Billy what specific type of link handle do you use for you use for your double bits?
I've got 3 nice 610s I love. (actually 7 of them, 5 run good, 2 I'm sellin, 3 I'm keepin). Great saws if not a little heavy but great saws. You ever had issue with one if you tip it too far foward wanting to flood? Mine seem to do that. Think the oiler is biggest issue on these, it's a diaphragm type and eventually wears out. Ol Bob in NY sold me a couple new old stock ones but they are 20 years old already now too! haha. Don't know if I'll be able to use em much when those poop out unless I could make a new diaphragm out of somethin.
Can i order an Axe from you and would you send it to germany?
Greets and keep up the good work.
Email Buckin at Buckinbillyray@shaw.ca. Yes he will send to Germany
You!!!! The man.i need to split wood now. You got me going!!!! And I'm in bed 😂😂😂
finally useing a 610 thats standard you should use a 650 and see the difference
Be kind friends.
that woods spalted mate
the maple is yip
Iam blow away
One hit with ax
And the log split in two
How long it take you learn split logs
john fansworth It's friendly wood to split combined with experience
you couldn't sell pine upstate NY for fire wood, maybe kindling at a low price. OK you know that. I sure would like to see you use an axe on 25" diam t maple and oak you fell in the woods. HE HE
What is the gas/oil ratio you run in that Pro Mac 610? There is a lot of confusion and opinions for these old McCullochs. Thanks, Buster
Buster, I went through the same confusion. Says with McCulloch oil 40:1 anything else...20:1. I find it hard to think there is a difference in McCulloch 2 cycle oil v.s. other brand 2 cycle oil. If I am correct? McCulloch didn't make oil just had their name on the container. 3.2 ounce of oil to 1 gallon gas gives you 40:1. I go 3.6 ounce to a gallon which gives 36:1. My run fine with that ratio. I get about 9 gallons of mixed fuel with a 1 quart container.
..so a 10-series clutch cover will fit a 610?...looks like that's what's on it...
Ford for cord.
I like how he calls me friend 😊
