Good message at the end. It’s so true the saws and wood is why I started watchin ya but the positive message you spread is what has kept me around for years. You a great role model pal
This video deserves more attention. Tulip Poplar is about the softest wood you can cut over here, but that was a big pig of a tree, and that saw ate through it like butter. Second watch for me. The more I do this, the more I notice little things the pros do. Like every movement Buckin makes is methodical and calculated. No wasted energy or fuel consumption. I’m still fighting the saw a bit, but learning quick. Thanks
@BuckinBillyRaySmith it was great to meet up with my lifelong friend Joe Rainis and then to meet finally meet you Billy Ray. Joe speaks very well of you. Now I now why. Be safe out there brother.
Absolutely loved the show, was GREAT to meet you Buckin, thank you for taking some time with me and my family, for being so gracious and generous with your time for all of us that came to see you. Big thank you to Ripsaw for giving us a place to gather, and for being such an amazing standout of a company with an amazing product. Saving for a ripsaw now. It was great to see so many friends of the channel, tinman, nick, etc. Much love from Georgia! On our way home
I am so frustrated I don't know what event this was. Wow. I am so sad I missed this. Someone please inform me what is going on and how to make sure I don't miss this again.
So happy to have met you on Saturday, Buckin! I can not express the incredible positive impact you have had on my life over the years. You truly are a huge reason I even made it through some of these times. Thanks for all you do!
I watched you at Bunyan but didn’t get a chance to meet you. So I wanted to thank you I started watching you around 8 years ago. You drove me to be the best version of me. I now own a sawmill, kiln, and secondary processing equipment for lumber. I fall I’ll my own logs for the mill so from standing timber to finished product it never leaves my control. I also started building furniture. Im hoping to make a TH-cam channel one day. But.l I would have never had the drive and courage to do it without your videos. So thank you
Yes Sir! Processing and debris management is the hard work, but dang what a fun business to be in! It was great to meet you in person Buckin and see the impact you have on so many people. Safe travels and best wishes for many more years of making people's lives better with your message and tutelage!
Buckin', THANK YOU so much for the meet and greet at Bunyan. I can just simply echo everyone's comment. You were most gracious, generous with your time and patient. Was great as well to meet Wendy and Rita. And what a surprise to meet the Tinman. Hope to get the opportunity to do this again at either Bunyan or maybe a Buckinstock. Much LOVE and RERSPECT.
Hi Buckin, just wanted to say it was great to meet you at the Paul Bunyan Show this past weekend. Great to see the saws I've watched on your channel live over the weekend. Hope the trip home for you went well. Happy Sawing! - Sandy , from Ontario Canada
I was at the Bunyan show didn't get a chance to meet you, but it was great seeing you in person at 500 i is one impressive saw. I was the idiot to ask you where your drums were at lol And to that fella that asked how you could be so nice well if you listen to your message work hard help your neighbor treat others as you would be treated and you can be nice should be happy too
I cant tell you how amazing it was to meet ya Buckin, thanks for letting me bother you while you tried to work, and most importantly, thank you for letting me cash in on that hug. Sure did mean a lot to me, made my whole trip up worth it. What an event and what a hell of a guy. Was great to meet your family too, I suppose it was me and your daughter that had a good chuckle over trying to get you to let me swing that wood bullet around.
That is one slick looking saw. Ripsaw makes a good saw great. I'm sure you've answered this question before but I was curious what your idea of the best specs for an all-around, multi-purpose saw that is closest to the perfect powersaw to just grab and go for most jobs. For example, a storm just rolled through and your neighborhood is blocked off from anyone leaving or getting in and you need a saw that you can grab without thinking, throw it in the back of the truck with your other gear and go to work clearing for extended periods of time. Then say the next week your neighbor asks for some help processing the trees that fell down and so on. Then you decide that you want to make some extra money on the side by doing some clearing work. You don't have to come up with specific models but just specs like bar length, power numbers, and other features that make a good saw to just grab and go at a moment's notice. Figured this would be a cool idea for a video you could do or answer on this comment. :) Reason I am asking is I am trying to upgrade from a Poulan Wild Thing that I have put a ton of work into making a more reliable powersaw but I'm actually looking to start a small tree and brush clearing business that I can start with a powersaw and a truck and then work from there and need something a little more robust. Thanks for all the content, Billy. Stay safe!
Awesome job taking that huge tulip down!! You make it look so effortless, and enjoying at the same time!! Great content, haha I'm sure the Ole throat is a little sore from Bunyon, haha heal up brother, and great message at the end....great values to live by😊
It was awesome meeting you. My 3 year old son loves you. He's usually a wind bag but he was speechless when he met you. Thanks for the interaction. He calls you Buckin Ray lol
Buckin, I was just on bjarne's channel. I'm doing a lot of falling in a tight spot in town this week. Some of the largest uncut trees in the town. Power lines, hard leans, buildings etc, and I'm just reminding myself many things because I'm coming back from a severe car accident 6 months ago. Obviously I've been a religious student of yours for many years, and like you've done for many others, your advice, thoughts, stories and your investment into this channel has been a rock of education in my life. While looking at the video in the link below on bjarne's channel I thought, boy, I'd love to hear a buckin talk over on this one. Analysis, stories, explanation, etc. Like you always do. Bjarne is an excellent logger with a great channel of course, and no disrespect to him, your just a professional at the jabber as well as the saw. 😊 🙏 You might have to talk to him and you may not be interested in doing it. But it's just a thought. Peace and much love from east coast USA
We have Tulip OMF there all over around our area. I planted a couple in the Hills of Iosco this spring ! There are a bunch of them in Silver Lake State Park and all up an down the Huron. Sorry to hear about the tick. We still need to meet up for that coffee some time sir !
Bummer I can't make it out there for the Paul Bunyan show, I have plans locally every yr at the same time that take precedence. I like the walking stick at the end, that 500 was probably getting a bit heavy to carry lol. Be blessed friends.
I love watching videos of Buckin using the wood bullet splitting rounds...but, to see it and hear it, live in-person, shaclank...a very powerful ax swinger. Buckin, glad your shoulder is much better, you were rip snortin' with that ax of yours. All the best to team RipSaw (great tent) All the best to team Buckin, Wendy/Rita/Christine/Marty etc etc... 🍀♻️💚🌲
Cool to see you get into a huge hardwood. Not really sprawling like a lot of the hardwoods we have down here in the states but still a cool change of pace.
It's crazy, buckin when you go to rip saw. I'm an hour away from you. I live in Brackenridge, Pennsylvania so close to them. I wish I could meet you one time when you come there. I would drive in a heartbeat. God bless you hopefully I can meet you. One day it would be a dream come true
Tulip Poplar is our Indiana State Tree. It’s a shame to cut such a beauty, the wood really isn’t in demand. Could be 200+ years old. Big enough it could be milled as Yellow poplar which lasts forever!!!
Like I said buckin I live in Pennsylvania. I cut trees for 22 years. That tree had you cut in this video was a Poplar, it's not a hard wood at all. You can cut through it like butter. Just so you know what kind of tree you are cutting there? I'm sure you probably know, but sometimes I know you're not used to the trees here. Thank you, God bless for all you do.
@@br-dj2ti I had to look at Poplar. I didn't realize how soft of a wood it was. Just got fine milling 9/4 slabs of black oak and white oak this afternoon.
@@pahunter9415 I bet them slabs are beautiful. Yeah, poplar is extremely soft wood. I cut through like butter all the time. I love cutting it up l o l.
Well my understanding is Tulip tree ~= Poplar =~ Cottonwood and there is NOTHING nice about cutting that stinking tree family. Wood stinks, sprays water goo everywhere so your clothes smell etc. Sure it cuts fast because the "wood" is more air and water than wood.
I hope to some day Shake your hand Buckin! Great to see you in all the footage from the various different channel and your sincere greetings to the people. Thank you for what you do My boys and I will come see ya somewhere someday.
You should cut into some of the large twisted Silver Maple trees we have around here. My neighbor has a newer low hour Husky 395XP with a 32" bar. That twisted, wet, Silver maple will stall the chain out if ya dog in to hard even with a 94cc saw. Ya almost need to run a skip tooth chain to keep your chain speed up. Solid Dry Red oak is super hard and will rip the points rite off of a full chisel chain but it still cuts much easier than a large Silver Maple. Our silver maple can easily get 8-10 foot wide at the stump. It doesn't make very good firewood because by the time it's dry enough to burn it's it's usually spalted and 1/2 rotten.
I run a 500i 25 in bar all day. That thing you got is wicked northwest Ohio these are what we cut everyday. That saw you got cuts and eats like now.. WOW😮
you know buckin 😂 as much joking around about how your a husky guy you seem to have a stihl in your hands a lot now days 😉 much love ❤️ a good saw is a good saw don't matter the brand❤
Good message at the end. It’s so true the saws and wood is why I started watchin ya but the positive message you spread is what has kept me around for years. You a great role model pal

Man that 500i is killer saw it cuts deep with ease. It is so nice. Plenty of power for sure. Billy loves people. He enjoys life. God bless you.
Amazing saw
We don’t have those near me. In Southeast Michigan, we do have huge Cottonwoods with similar bark.
Poplar and cottonwood are interchangeable names in some places 👍🏻

Yes they are, I prefer Cottonwood.

Still in Texas, Gina has a Heart condition going on and being treated by a Cardiologist here. May stay the Winter Steve.

I’ve never seen one in my area or the area I grew up in. I have seen them in the south while visiting.
Goodonya Buckin Billy Ray great enjoyable viewing and good messages for all … watching in Australia 🇦🇺 👍👍🤙
Thx brother
Buckin it’s cool to see you in central Pa 👍👍
That's a very large tulip poplar! nice cuttin as always Buckin, that 500 sounds mean! 💪
Amazing to watch how fast that saw cuts...I was impressed with my little ms261 till I saw this one cut.
Im jealous!
That Stihl is eating that hardwood for lunch! 👊🤘
Been waiting since Friday for a video and here it is
Thank you buckin for being you

Good to see that you have found the hardheaded wedges they are really good.
I don’t used them at home , I’m a red and white fella

When they first came out i didnt want to like them now im addicted to the sound of those saws and theyre light with power
What camera you using incredibly clear good quality 🎉
Great job as always, because you'er a pro it looks so effortless brill
Thank you very much!
I worked for a tree service company during high school. I only did😢 ground work a split wood in the wood yard and delivered firewood. .
Can I ask, do you train yourself to be so so nice, and do you never get wound up or cross.
Yellow Poplar aka Tulip Tree doesn't stand a chance against that 5oo i, that is one awesome saw thumbs up
Hay Hay B.R. You & That 500i Were A Great Team For This Job Buddy ! Hoping You & Yours Had A Great Thanksgiving ! ATB T God Bless
Love it! Keep on keeping on! God bless!

You make that big tree look so easy. Is that saw stock
😊❤️👍🏻
Would love to see Dyno Joe get one to test on the dyno. Saw cuts so fast, sounds awesome. Buckin have you tried there Husqvarna ones?
Oil mix?castrol????
Nice tulip 😎
Would be awsome if you could come to the APF show in the UK one year / a Ripsaw stand would be unreal 🤘
( it's normally in May ✌
Good stuff brother! You're an artist with the chainsaw dude. Not a carver type artist, but a true surgeon with a big saw. Dr. Buckin', if you will.
Wow woodbullet as a banging axe❤
Hi friends
Man that saw sounds like music
Powered right through that big ol PA maple impressive
I run a 500i 25 in bar all day. That thing you got is wicked northwest Ohio these are what we cut everyday. That saw you got cuts and eats like now.. WOW😮
Nice job buckin awesome 👍
Who makes that pipe and is it sold anywhere?
Billy ( or who ever knows ) got a question ( if you will ever read this ) ..... What size bar is on that 500 ?
Thanks for posting ....

Was good meeting and watching ya at the show how'd that hard maple treat ya haha
Each time I come down I learn my recipes a little better ilI be on square ground next year
Huge stump❤❤
In Maryland we just call that a poplar tree lol
WHY Buckin', did that big tree need to be cut? We hardly have any more big trees in Pa. I see now, rotten.
That saw eat wood fo sure
that thing is a damn lightsaber
500i sounds great ! Nice drop 😎 I’m dropping once the leaves drop
Poplar, although technically a "hardwood" is pretty dang soft wood.
