Bucking..... you are a mad man. All these videos coming out day after day. You are spoiling us........... But thanks. I like seeing that notification pop up.
Great advice . My dad showed me that years ago had forgotten about that . He has been gone 20 years now. Thanks for bringing those great memories back. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Buckin brother I just have to THANK YOU!, thank you for telling me about the Bellhopper! What a good man! He had a 2k subscriber giveaway the other night and I was so lucky to have won a McCulloch pro mac 10-10s saw. That probably would have never happened, with out you. So I needed to give you a big THANKS from the bottom of my heart! Love your channel and what you do! Keep up the good work! Thanks again Buckin!!👍
Bell hopper is a very good man I had been around him for years they dont come much better then him buckin said it right a gaint with a heart just as big as he is
This is the best explanation of chain tension I’ve ever heard! When to run it tight and when to run it loose! Perfect! It’s exactly what I do!bearclaw did a great job on the oil tube issue! Something to watch for on these saws! Be cool to see tips and tricks by bearclaw on yer channel! He’s a wealth of knowledge! It would be off the hook!

Hello everyone! God Bless you all! Heading out to cut some firewood this weekend couldnt be happier! Perfect timing on the video! Always good to get reminded of the little stuff that makes all the difference! Be safe all!
MAN I WAS OUT DOING A LITTLE WINTER CUTTING TODAY. AND USED THE FELLING TECHNIQUES YOU SHARE WITH US .!!!! 👍👍👍👍TIRED!!! THXS BUCKIN AND HELLO TO THE BUCKIN ARMY .
Thank you for the great tension tips. Lots of great info btw I’m going to work on the humboldt cut this year also. Welcome to all the newcomers to the community I’m sure you will love the community, the channel and the MAN. Peace out ✌️ and be kind !!
This totally makes sense now. I was going through chains like crazy because I was constantly tightening them. It also really beat up my saw. I am so thankful for seeing this video I am definitely going to change my habits. Thank you for sharing the information Buckin
Hello our sweetheart Buckin!. Got home from being at hospital with my little brother today .He having heart problems. G-man played your message to me . Made my day thank you. We just got done watching ya . Your such a delightful soul . So funny! Too. Heading to logger wade Chanel to bug his sweetheart ass lol 😂 . About Buckin stock !!!. Take care be safe !!! 🙏🏽❤️🥰.... THUMB UP 👆🏼FRIENDS 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👆🏼
Great tutorial Buckin I Love It. Different tensions for different situations is for sure a big factor in the fun factor of running a chainsaw. Thanks Buckin for allowing me to be part of your experience.✊🌲❤🌲✊
Mate you are the best with the information you give us all .The information you just gave me will go a long way in helping an average chainsaw operator tighten and operate my MS391 . Thanks again
Hey Buckin. thank you for all you do in the pursuit of kindness and love. Your TH-cam videos have improved my tree felling, buckin, and my use of my axes. I went to the Humboldt bout a year ago. I just have to say WOW, so much safer. I love it. I've been burning wood for my sole heating for more than 25 years and in my neck of the woods I've never heard of it or seen anyone use it. Now about the axes, I had been splitting with an axe for a few years then went to a gas splitter. Well guess what, I went back to hand splitting for fun and the workout. I had never used the flick method unless by accident. Ha ha. Now I try to use it all the time, thanks to you! And that darn ball, I get a little better every day but that is very, very hard. I don't know how you do it? Thank you so much for all the uplifting videos Buckin. It's been a hell of a journey so far!
Thanks Billy Ray. Your advice to adjust tension according to the situation is great for an amateur beginner like me. Nice demonstration and thanks for showing why you recommend the way you do it.
Fan-freakin-tastic video! It helped me better understand what's going on between the chain and bar in regards to wear and oiling. Makes so much sense. And you provide room for grace. Thank you, Buckin'. Grace and Peace to you.
The part you start with in this video a few seconds out, where all the trees fall. That's just a work of art. REALLY nice! (I saw the full video a few days ago). That is so awsome! Pre-cut all the trees in the frond and having the last one get the domino effect going. Amazing!
Great video Buckin'. Running your chain with the right tension on it is also very important for good clutch bearing life , every time that the saw is running and the chain is not moving it's hard on that bearing if the chain is too tight. Keep up the good work, we love it!
Greetings from No. VT - Hopped over to Logger Wade. Interesting channel, thanks for the shout out. BTW - passed on the Buckinstock invitation as you asked. Happy to help.
Your so right about everything ive been running saw for a powerline company for a couple years they taught me and after i left the company i kept doing tree service job myself for the past 7 years and its so much different being able to control what I do and how i use my equipment they taught me the hardway of doing everything slashin and buckin with a 16'' bar now i have several of my own saw for different types of jobs and since seeing you on axe men ive been a huge fan of you Buckin I try to never miss a video.Ive learned more from your videos then everyone else put together. Cheers..
Buckin well said, good information. Like you said it’s the cutters preference, I like a chain loose also. I feel like it cuts faster like you said when falling. I love the way that saw sounds. Welcome new subscribers!
Very good way to tighten the chain lifting up on the handle makes it so much easier we using alot shorter bars here in northeast Ontario but it still works with same principle good advice keep up the great videos
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith I just discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago. I'm really getting into axes. Now I want to fire up my husky chain saw. Your a mad man! I live in Texas panhandle. NO TREES!
Hey there Buckin, and all the Buckin' Army, how are you all goin', Neil and Cath from QLD, in Aussie again. Love the video on chain tension. One fellow who serviced my two McCulloch Promac 800's ( I am still using these bad boys today with my firewood hobby by the way ).. I used when I was logging in the early 1980's showed me another way.. turn the saw upside down on your work bench, letting it sit on the top handle and let gravity do the rest. Been doing it that way ever since but still like learning other ways of doing things. It just shows you there are other ways to skin a cat....just an old saying we use down under. Keep the good vibes going and stay safe all.
Love from Australia love the Hart love the spirit just a loving spirit it's helped me out I'm fighting a broken back at the moment and I was down and out and at the lowest point of my life and I was watching TH-cam and buckin come on talking about his broken back and I thought how's that things happen for a reason now I'm down but not out I can't thank buckin enough a lover of life thank you
Lord, I love watching your videos! So instructional and uplifting. Buckin', you bring a smile to my face every time. I live in Ocala, Fl. It gets chilly here (occasional upper 20's), but not the cold you deal with! Still, I love getting, cutting, splitting, and stacking my firewood. My fireplace is pretty, but not very good for heating the house. Still, a nice fire keeps my wife and cats happy... God bless you and your positive messages. And now to set the proper tension on my chains... LOL, any excuse to play with my chainsaws and cut wood!!
If I may say so....you are spot on. Great information! No b.s. love is key! Glad you are here posting videos. Sire is nice having a friend like you Buckin. 👌
Thnx buckin. I run a hopped up 066 with a 36 inch bar full skip, square tooth chain. I was getting an inordinate amount of wear on the bar....especially on the top of the bar where I start plunge cuts. I believe this is because of tight chain, low rpm conditions. I'm also 6' 5" tall and I've been running big bars forever to save my back. BTW most of my tree work is done volunteering after natural disasters. My crew and I raised enough money for a stand on bobcat with a grapple last year. We are a Christian organization out of northern illinois. Your inights are appreciated!!! Thnx sir.
Thanks a bunch! Last year I got tired of wrestling with holding the bar up while I tightened the bar, just like the instructions say, and I went to holding it by the grip and letting the bar sit on whatever like you just did. It's much easier to control the saw and the wrench when I do it the way you do. I don't know why the instructions are all backwards.
great video, perhaps you can do a video explaining when a clutch has gone and chain running on at tick over, might help someone , big smiles from the UK
Welcome new folks, this is why we love this channel; it's an honest, welcoming place full of opportunities to learn more. Brilliant explanation Buckin'. I'm definitely running my chains tighter than this, going to retention with this technique before I run a saw again. I like my little 16" 357xp a bit tighter for coppice work but it's getting loosened off too so I can see if it behaves better. Love it.
@@ericharris893 Thank you Eric. I got a chance today to get to the saw. I caught a bit stone embedded in a crotch at the end of the last job so needed to spend some time sharpening. The chain is almost finished, I always use the Stihl 2in1 sharpener on that saw for speed because I so often need to resharpen, cutting contaminated wood and near stone walls. I decided to free-hand sharpen with a 7/32 as Buckin' suggests and reset with his tension technique. Well... I think the chain tension is an improvement, I haven't thrown a chain for years so I suspect I could work with it like this and not worry. The sharpening is a revelation though, much smoother cutting, felt okay on dead oak but snedding back some pine? She cuts! Blows through 3" branches like they're not there. Progressive though, easier to control the rate of cut rather than just pulling in hard or hardly at all. I have used both the 2in1 and free-hand filing on my bigger saw in the recent past and not found the difference to be so noticeable but I'm sold on today's experience. Going to have to do more to improve the sharpening on the big saw now!
JNCG oh man yeah the size file puts the angle on buckins right about that. Dirty wood is very frustrating. Use the tip of your bar. Cut half the log with the tip, then the other half on the upswing, that way the dirt is always on the out direction of the cut.
That's exactly the same way I'm tightening my chain on 18 inch bar. My teacher? Common sense and practice. Don't go to tight because you'll slow down the chain and wear down the saw. During long cuting, chain will get loose even more. It will sag from bar. If you have control over chain saw and you are doing clean cuts, very loose chain is not an issue. But, if you're cutting through rough bush, a lot of hard wood thin limbs, thin branches, changing saw position all the time, then loose chain can get off the bar or get pinched more easy. So take care and go bit tighter when cutting bush type of wood and limbs... Great video Buckin!
You should be called "WILD, Buckin" Billy Ray Smith"........Mike, from "Outdoors with the Morgan" sent me over. I'm feelin' the love bro!! You got yourself a new subscriber. You make Mike look more boring than he already is...........don't worry Mike, I'm not going anywhere, I love you too. I'll be catching up on all the episodes, looks like a lot of them, that I haven't seen, since I'm new to your channel. Love your passion, attitude, and insight. Just watched one of your vids on repair or placing your axe handle as I have one to do......a maul axe my father handed down to me......one of the few things I have of his that I can use all the time. Glad Ol' Mike refered you!!!
Hey bucking I really enjoy your videos so entertaining you're so educational and you're actually you're funny also... Sometimes when I watch your video like I said you're very entertaining very knowledgeable I want to bring some popcorn to watch your videos that's how much I enjoy them...

😀 Great video 🤣 I may have to give a longer bar a go. Currently running a 25” on my 500i 👍🏻
Thing is a 25” light bar balances so nice on a ms 462 or ms 500i. 28” might still be ok but I think the balance would be nose heavy with a 32”

You should be called "WILD, Buckin" Billy Ray Smith"........Mike, from "Outdoors with the Morgan" sent me over. I'm feelin' the love bro!! You got yourself a new subscriber. You make Mike look more boring than he already is...........don't worry Mike, I'm not going anywhere, I love you too. I'll be catching up on all the episodes, looks like a lot of them, that I haven't seen, since I'm new to your channel. Love your passion, attitude, and insight. Just watched one of your vids on repair or placing your axe handle as I have one to do......a maul axe my father handed down to me......one of the few things I have of his that I can use all the time.
Glad Ol' Mike refered you!!!
