McCulloch vs. Homelite .. the xl 12 and the Mac 10-10 go head to head with same bar and chain. www.buckinbillyray.com/ buckinbillyray.bandcamp.com/r...
Really enjoy this time with you. At 66 I went out recently and purchased a little Stihl 180 for my small yard work in Louisville KY. never ran a chain saw (it’s not a power saw) but the satisfaction is rewarding. Been selling Caterpillar equipment for 40 years so I really enjoy mechanical things. Thanks for your videos and your words of wisdom. I will try and be kinder.
You may never see this comment, as the video is a year old, but I’ve watched several times. My favorite so far. Amazing that it also included your insights on your Dad. Great words. I’m an old Homelite guy. Like, almost 70 old. Use mostly just some old SXLAOs and a few XL-12s unless I need big for a fall or little for pruning. The 2 second difference in cut time notwithstanding, I’ll keep them. Ya see, I got started on them from my Dad. He had some old Macs too, but liked the Homeys best. Every time I pull the cord on one, I think of that old timberbeast. Good thoughts. And his shop and work bench looked about like yours. Thanks for the channel. I watch it a lot more than the news!
@Bubbles The SEZ, with a roughly 16 year model run, might possibly have been Homelite's best selling model. At only 40cc's with awesome compression, it's super powerful and really rips. Easily pulls a 16 or 18in bar.
I have my grand fathers super EZ and hope to have it professionally redone if they can still get parts. I ran it quite a few times and it cut great and the muffler really barks. Miss ya gramps.
My dad run homelite 1050 for over 20 years, he didn’t think there was a saw that could compete with it. He bought it new in California came with 36 inch bar and 42 bar he sold it running in year 2000. Now I want one even though I dnt need one I dont cut wood for living. But reminds me of some of my best times as a kid
My dad graduated High School just in time for WW2. He was in the Pacific. I learned how to be a SeaBee beginning at age 9. Only when I started watching the History Channel and the War in the Pacific did I understand my Father
Buckin' , I started watching your channel for the tips on felling, but have discovered the real message is about MY example and the kindness I can show others . thanks
I almost gave away my 1973 Homelite XL-12 when it was being cranky and difficult. But my wife talked me into keeping it. She loves the throaty sound, not at all like my other saws. I'm getting her all tuned up and ready for another firewood season.
Buckin', I realized something about my dad, he should have done a better job parenting but he couldn't. That was his best, things happened to him when he was young that shaped how he would parent. That was sooo freeing for me. I'm trying to be the best parent I can be because my kids need me to do that. Thank you for sharing. This too shall pass, one day at a time.
Love the words of wisdom. I am walking my Dad’s shoes right now. Boy do I have a different understanding and respect for him. May God continue to bless you.
Buckin Billy you’re the man. Your one of the most positive and inspirational people I’ve ever seen and I don’t think I will ever see anyone who can run a saw as good as you. I only wish you would wear eye protection when you’re running your saws. Thank you for sharing all that you have with us.
Ha Ha.... Tell that ole Buckin Billy whats up... Ear gear =good Eye gear=where is it ? Eye protection =needed Well if your Buckin on the ground it's easy to control the directing of your dust. But if you're up in the tree cutting overhead, could be a problem. My eyes are like dust magnets, sometimes i wear swimming goggles for moments of high dust, just don't want to keep them on too long. Regular safety glasses are good for most things. After you spend a lot of time flushing the eyes out you realize that wearing a breathing mask is sometimes a good idea also... Tiny particulates getting everywhere... Yikes. 😷 I'm no germaphobe but grinding rust is dirty. Ear gear /eye protection /breathing mask, then i add gloves /hat /clothes and gloves... More gloves... My hands are like delicate little flowers 😄 I'd rather be cutting wood. I'd rather be climbing a tree. I'd rather be playing guitar I'd rather be watching Buckin tune up a power saw/splitting wood /playing drums/telling a story /talking trees. Got much love for humans/animals and trees, not necessarily in that order. 💛
Buckin! Just picked up a Homelite Super XL-12 Automatic! Got a carb kit and new air filter in the mail! Cant wait to freshen her up and get her running good! God Bless!
I’m from Vancouver island too buckin! I work in forestry as a driller blaster. Absolutely love the channel! And can’t get enough of forestry! Thanks for sharing your videos!
Hello Canada! Hello world! Hope you are all well, alive and kicking! Welcome to all antique, medieval and new subscribers. Glad to see you United here. Glad to be part of it. Even if I don't write a comment to every vid - my thumb is up for every single one of them! Stay safe and well and kind! 🔥❤️🔥from🌲🇩🇪🌲
Ah yes, the old Homelite brings back some of my fondest memories cutting Pulpwood and Firewood with my Grandpa back in the School days. Grandpa had each saw back then and they are what I learned a lot with. Love those old machines. Unmatched durability, reliability, and longevity.
Love seeing old saws come back to life,I got spot in my heart,love the Macs the most,then a pioneer. But it's just a preference one has.another good tutorial video buckin'
There is something about cutting wood for a living I find satisfying and sustaining. It makes the soul sing. The continuum of, “I was born to do this. I’m at the right place, at the right time, with the right instruments” has been a mantra of mine for years. I’m indebted to you for the compass bearings and motivation you have supplied, by just being you! Learn to love yourself and your life. The rewards are endless friends❤️🌲🌳🌲🌳❤️
Great to see a couple of old warhorses go at it. They can still get the job done. This channel has encouraged me to learn all that I can on chainsaws and cutting and splitting wood. Thanks and keep up the good work Buckin’ Billy Ray!
Love the video.these videos are so good not only for us viewers but for your family. To pass on from you to your children and their children. From generation to generation a lifelong story, information and life lessons. Priceless. Keep on keepin on.
I just got my dads homelight saw back it had gotten stolen a few years back a few days after he had past away and I am going to get it running again ,thanks for this video and God bless you and your family
Old-school Woodsman and Tree Man for over 30 years. Now 73 and still Love the Trees yet now play with Boats! Still have a quiver of Saws purchased new! Macs,Stihl,Husqvarna, my favorites and Yes, Have a Pair of SP125Cs,big stihls,and Husqvarnas! And several 020 and Ms20s my fav for climbing! And lots of mac n Stihl intermediates.just kept them in case! Lol
Seeing that Mac brings back memories of hauling firewood with my dad. We still have that saw at the cabin. That thing is loud, it really wakes the dead.
Dad had the 10-10 (we called it a Two-10) and a Mini-Mac. Great saws, that finally failed due to letting them sit with old gas and Dad was no mechanic. He replaced with the Homelite Super XL-AO when I was 17 y-o and that was a step up. I still have and use the SXL-AO and I am now 69 y-o and it runs like new. Just finished cleaning up a huge black oak dead fall with it this past weekend. I have used your sharpening tips with it and the method is EZ and very effective. Thanks!
I love all of these videos, but this one really resonated with me in so many ways. It has to be that karma. 🙏🙏🙏 Absolutely, there is the passion for power saws, trees, and axes. That is a given! But it is the man behind that and his message and meaning that keeps drawing me back deeper and deeper into this community. At my ripe old age of 55, I never thought I would get into something like this the way I have. I am forever grateful for finding this channel years ago. Love to all comrades and new subscribers ❤️❤️❤️ Lieutenant Bradley
That was a fun video @ Buckin' Billy Ray Smith I am so happy you ran the XL 12. That Homelite needs to be broken in. I grew up running McCulloch and Stihl. But when I went out on my own and was cutting firewood to pay he bills I ran Homelite. The Homelite I had did not let me down and now I look at them like a old friend. Looking out and looking in. Great stuff Friend. :) We all should think about this more as we go threw the day.
Love it! I'm ashamed to admit that I ditched my sweet xl12 because it had a mechanical failure. I'm a mechanic but didn't think I'd get around to another project. Wish I still had it. That saw impressed me thoroughly!
Gosh dang bub. I was on a homelite kick and got some serious insight from this. I’m close to my dad, so I don’t understand where you’re coming from, but that first part got me choked up a little. Love your channel. Love your content. Love your high energy and personality!
Good morning to all the true blues, its been a little while since ive been here so many new people welcome to yas all glad you joined the buckin army, Buckin your the man i love you brother ✌🤘
I know this is an older video but I just picked up an xl12 with a 20" bar at an estate sale for $18. They couldn't get it started and there didn't seem to be much interest in it. Long story short I took it home, inspected the empty fuel tank, added fuel and it fired up on the third pull and runs like a champ.
Buckin' You put a smile on my face, every video I watch. Your good nature, good humor, and great attitude is infectious. Keep up the good work! I have Mac 10-10's and Homies. I think i like the way the Homie sounds the best. Great comparison. They were neck in neck. I need to try this with the saws I have acquired. You inspired me to give them a race. Michael
Damn that husky sounds deadly!!! The homelite and Mac are pretty close both are nice saws! Right on on the father advice, my father only talks to me if there is a life changing event, or if I have got something new and he wants to check it out. Usually once or twice a year. I have accepted it and I’m going to make my life happen! 👍🏻✊✌️
Yeah brother tweakin and tuning the 66 man that thing was singin. Love the 1010 and XL12 saw off. Thank you Buckin for all you are doing for our world and our community. THANKS Buckin 🌲❤🌲✊
I've started using the phrase "Friends" a lot in my everyday life being a direct influence of this channel - love the craft & knowledge shared my new cyber friend
Buck'n my dad never said he loved me neither but I knew that he did love me tho. He tough me a lot. How to run a power saw was one of them. And I love it. I loved him Buck'n. He passed away in 2000 of cancer. I love you.....Buck'n.
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith I'm a Stihl mechanic, however my first saw was a Super XL Auto I bought at JC Penny for $188 in 1978. I'll have to get it out, get it running and run it against my MS261C-M.
Cool vid Buckin'. Good sentiment. Forgiveness is releasing the prisoner from prison only to find out that the prisoner is yourself. Real Men Learn to Forgive. Chop On Bro...Chop On.
I think that was one of the best buckin vids I have seen :) it would be a cool idea to take one of these big old cedar cookies you have and burn a looking back chronology of your journey into it and perhaps another with major world events
I agree 100% on your philosophy of "its a power saw, its meant to run" I told myself right after I started this I would never own a power saw I wouldn't want to take out and run. I leave those for the collectors. I had one about a year back, never had fuel in it, traded it for something else because I didnt want to be the one to run it lol. Awesome video, as always!
I couldn’t agree more with what you said about understanding. You said it best when you mention people not understanding but empathizing. Everyone is different and each person’s life broken down into the simplest terms is can be considered harder or easier than another’s. You’re a wise man buckin! Love to you and the family❤️
To be fair, if the Homelite is brand new, the rings aren't fully seated yet. Once you have a few cords under the belt, it'll be neck and neck with the Mac. Nonetheless......you had fun doin it and we had fun watchin.
Welcome to the new subscribers and a salute to the true blues....Happy hump🐫🐫🐫🐫day y'all. Ah the mach is still champ, both great little saws, even greater in the hands of the man beaver... love to all, be kind, love and hugs for our cynthinator and mama buckin... Duffy 🤛.....😎👍🇦🇺
Billy, you are one unique person. Kind of glad I got to find you here on the tube. By the time I wade through all your videos I'm gonna be better educated no doubt.
The ol xl 12. This was my first saw my grandfather gave me which got me into the business I have today. "Leaf it to me" gotta love the manual oiler!!! Stay looking up fellas
I cut high lead logs for a year with a Mac 10-10 until one day I set it down in front of the yarder track and Dad moved the machine forward a few feet during a road change. I was pulling straw line at the time helping out so I got my first Husky along with a good lesson.
You are way too much fun!!! Your gratitude for the little things reminds me of a great song by the legendary American singer Tanya Tucker called ‘The Little Things’. 👍🏻 One of my favorites!!!
I am 60 now. I put the plug in the jug at 27 years old too. St. Francis of Assisi. 11 am in NH 90 degrees no mortar for brick today.. Made a decision to do something different. Been successful one day at a time since 1987.
I find nothing more satisfying than cutting and splitting firewood, especially when my brother and I are wackin and stackin it together. You can SEE what you have accomplished unlike working on your computer all day. Take care.
You gave him a chance is main thing BR. And choose to move forward and create a relationship with him. Put the past behind you. Love you for that friend and you chose a different path for your kids and love ones.
My dad wasn't there to teach me any skills, my dad wasn't there to ride bikes, wasn't there to learn swimming, or show me how to shoot. Couldn't show me anything on the piano or appreciate my early enthusiasm for the guitar... BUT... He did teach me kindness. Kindness to strangers/kindness to animals and kindness to neighbors. He was friendly to everyone, even those in a bad mood. But if someone would talk politics or religion he would get grumpy and cantankerous. He loved his life of no hobbies and very little skills. Could have been his addiction to alcohol that took up too much time. Betting on sports and playing the lottery are not skills. Watching sports is not an activity but it does absorb large amounts of time. Even though he was not the best father in the neighborhood, he was the best i had. My mother was a saint to stick with him through thick and thin. I was lucky to have acres of woods behind my house to run, to ride(bicycles) and climb (every frickin tree) trees, even the ones with poison Ivy growing up them... 😕😫😲
I see these comparisons and love them. I own a small variety of power saws. I know you love Mcculloch as I do. I live in Southern California and there isn't the abundace or need for larger cc saws as in your neck of the woods. I happen to own a poulan 245A which I have yet to have it have it cut the biggest Wood I have been faced with maybe 3-4 foot. Far and few between. Just wondering if you have owned or run a 245. Just wondering what you thought of them if you ever used one?
Really enjoy this time with you. At 66 I went out recently and purchased a little Stihl 180 for my small yard work in Louisville KY. never ran a chain saw (it’s not a power saw) but the satisfaction is rewarding.

There ain't nothing so sweet as the throaty rumble of a Homelite running.
I have 2 oldies a 1963 homelite c5 and a 1959 Clinton r55 g1 amazing saws they don’t make them like they use to
Buckin' army put a big ole smile on my face today. Was up and out cleaning storm damage in town before work this morning. Much love to all!
Today I learned that Homelite used to produce good stuff
Sure did. So did Poulon. Today’s saws are junk compared to the old stuff
@Bubbles The SEZ, with a roughly 16 year model run, might possibly have been Homelite's best selling model. At only 40cc's with awesome compression, it's super powerful and really rips. Easily pulls a 16 or 18in bar.
Oh they sure did.

10 10 & Xl 12 were definitely icons of the industry probly even more popular here in the Southeast that on the West coast..
This is an older video but I watch it often for a daily dose of inspiration. Thanks Buckin. Also love the vintage saws.
That Old Homelite Just Digging Away. Music 🎶 to My Ears Hearing Both
right on friend
I almost gave away my 1973 Homelite XL-12 when it was being cranky and difficult. But my wife talked me into keeping it. She loves the throaty sound, not at all like my other saws. I'm getting her all tuned up and ready for another firewood season.
That was a great video!!
I'm porting a Homelite xl76 that should take the title lol!!
Buckin', I realized something about my dad, he should have done a better job parenting but he couldn't. That was his best, things happened to him when he was young that shaped how he would parent. That was sooo freeing for me. I'm trying to be the best parent I can be because my kids need me to do that. Thank you for sharing. This too shall pass, one day at a time.
i realize it's kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch new series online ?
That side by side shot really helped to show the two saws in action,like a title fight. Very cool.
Saying this, they're both pretty great.
That side by side shot with the audio of both saws going at the same time was a great sounding segment.
Love the words of wisdom. I am walking my Dad’s shoes right now. Boy do I have a different understanding and respect for him. May God continue to bless you.
Buckin Billy you’re the man. Your one of the most positive and inspirational people I’ve ever seen and I don’t think I will ever see anyone who can run a saw as good as you. I only wish you would wear eye protection when you’re running your saws. Thank you for sharing all that you have with us.
glad yer here thx
Ha Ha.... Tell that ole Buckin Billy whats up...
Ear gear =good
Eye gear=where is it ?
Eye protection =needed
Well if your Buckin on the ground it's easy to control the directing of your dust.
But if you're up in the tree cutting overhead, could be a problem.
My eyes are like dust magnets, sometimes i wear swimming goggles for moments of high dust, just don't want to keep them on too long.
Regular safety glasses are good for most things.
After you spend a lot of time flushing the eyes out you realize that wearing a breathing mask is sometimes a good idea also... Tiny particulates getting everywhere... Yikes. 😷
I'm no germaphobe but grinding rust is dirty.
Ear gear /eye protection /breathing mask, then i add gloves /hat /clothes and gloves... More gloves... My hands are like delicate little flowers 😄
I'd rather be cutting wood.
I'd rather be climbing a tree.
I'd rather be playing guitar
I'd rather be watching Buckin tune up a power saw/splitting wood /playing drums/telling a story /talking trees.
Got much love for humans/animals and trees, not necessarily in that order. 💛

I agree 100% on your philosophy of "its a power saw, its meant to run" I told myself right after I started this I would never own a power saw I wouldn't want to take out and run. I leave those for the collectors. I had one about a year back, never had fuel in it, traded it for something else because I didnt want to be the one to run it lol. Awesome video, as always!
LOL at the Rocky rendition that's outstanding, love it! Big Fan from Pa.

We need a tree czar.
I couldn’t agree more with what you said about understanding. You said it best when you mention people not understanding but empathizing. Everyone is different and each person’s life broken down into the simplest terms is can be considered harder or easier than another’s. You’re a wise man buckin! Love to you and the family❤️
Those old merc pickups are hard to find! Kinda jelly 😂 thanks for the video brother!
Buckin it's crazy you did this video today because I'm looking at buying both of those saws for my collection.
Thanks my friend, for the morning video! You always start my day off right!...
To be fair, if the Homelite is brand new, the rings aren't fully seated yet.
Once you have a few cords under the belt, it'll be neck and neck with the Mac.
Nonetheless......you had fun doin it and we had fun watchin.
Welcome to the new subscribers and a salute to the true blues....Happy hump🐫🐫🐫🐫day y'all.
Ah the mach is still champ, both great little saws, even greater in the hands of the man beaver... love to all, be kind, love and hugs for our cynthinator and mama buckin... Duffy 🤛.....😎👍🇦🇺
Justin hope your doing well my friends always nice to see you here

Thanks buckin, great video buddy, loved the content. ❤️👍
Great video Mr Buckin!! Love the channel keep up spreading kindness!
Billy, you are one unique person. Kind of glad I got to find you here on the tube. By the time I wade through all your videos I'm gonna be better educated no doubt.
The ol xl 12. This was my first saw my grandfather gave me which got me into the business I have today. "Leaf it to me" gotta love the manual oiler!!! Stay looking up fellas
I cut high lead logs for a year with a Mac 10-10 until one day I set it down in front of the yarder track and Dad moved the machine forward a few feet during a road change. I was pulling straw line at the time helping out so I got my first Husky along with a good lesson.
And also the comparing homalite to a McCulloch not bad not bad at all I think you should take the Homelite with you more often
You sharpening tips have recently taken ly sharpening to another level, I THOUGHT they were sharp. Thank you.
My grandpa and dad ran homelite and pioneer.
Well what i choose to do is well im a Machinist been one the past 15 years and have chosen to watch your videos thats my LIFE
thats awesome lol
Not fair the Homelite was to new and the Mac 10 10 had a turbo muffler 😂😂😊😊great video Bucking Billy . Keep them coming 💪
You are a great man keep up the good work! Thanx for being you!
You give great knowledge when you say seek to understand. Smart dude! Subscribed
You are way too much fun!!!
Your gratitude for the little things reminds me of a great song by the legendary American singer Tanya Tucker called ‘The Little Things’. 👍🏻 One of my favorites!!!
I am 60 now. I put the plug in the jug at 27 years old too. St. Francis of Assisi. 11 am in NH 90 degrees no mortar for brick today.. Made a decision to do something different. Been successful one day at a time since 1987.
A gift
I find nothing more satisfying than cutting and splitting firewood, especially when my brother and I are wackin and stackin it together. You can SEE what you have accomplished unlike working on your computer all day. Take care.
You gave him a chance is main thing BR. And choose to move forward and create a relationship with him. Put the past behind you. Love you for that friend and you chose a different path for your kids and love ones.
break the chain Brother
I kinda got a similar deal but if my mom would ever need me. I'll be there till the end brother no question asked.
Got a xl 12 nice saw is loud. Can't believe going say this think homelite might pull the Mac.
Bought myself a Husqvarna 572, man that is a good saw. Thanx for a great stream brother.
Love ya Billy always a great video cheers brother passing on the love from Australia
Good video!
Thanks!
Brilliant Vid!!!
Loving it!
Gratitude is a Simple Concept to Understand but a Challenge to Live Each Day if we Wake Up. 👍
Love the content buckin
My grandfather had an a 58 cc homelite when I was a kid good little saw
I didn’t know you guys had the Villagio up there. One of my favorite places...🤣
My dad wasn't there to teach me any skills, my dad wasn't there to ride bikes, wasn't there to learn swimming, or show me how to shoot.
Couldn't show me anything on the piano or appreciate my early enthusiasm for the guitar... BUT... He did teach me kindness.
Kindness to strangers/kindness to animals and kindness to neighbors. He was friendly to everyone, even those in a bad mood.
But if someone would talk politics or religion he would get grumpy and cantankerous.
He loved his life of no hobbies and very little skills.
Could have been his addiction to alcohol that took up too much time.
Betting on sports and playing the lottery are not skills.
Watching sports is not an activity but it does absorb large amounts of time.
Even though he was not the best father in the neighborhood, he was the best i had.
My mother was a saint to stick with him through thick and thin.
I was lucky to have acres of woods behind my house to run, to ride(bicycles) and climb (every frickin tree) trees, even the ones with poison Ivy growing up them... 😕😫😲
I see these comparisons and love them. I own a small variety of power saws. I know you love Mcculloch as I do. I live in Southern California and there isn't the abundace or need for larger cc saws as in your neck of the woods. I happen to own a poulan 245A which I have yet to have it have it cut the biggest Wood I have been faced with maybe 3-4 foot. Far and few between. Just wondering if you have owned or run a 245. Just wondering what you thought of them if you ever used one?
Hey I am cutting 36 diameter southern red oak tree today and it's 99 degrees in South Arkansas! Too hot. Love your videos. Keep it up!
Lol the whole "Sunday, sunday, sunday....Its not sunday"
he he
Man I need to go get an old Mac
They’ve got a great sound n feel! I hope one finds its way into your life friend
Yeah, my one old Mac has become 20 old Macs .
