STIHL MS500i - World’s 1st Fuel Injected Chainsaw

- The Stihl MS500i showed up at my door . I unbox it to notice a half wrap handle bar. With some quick logger magic I dress it up in a full wrap handle bar and 32” bar full house chain . And put it to work in big wood
Oh. My. Goodness. You pulled out that knife... and the text on screen said, "I'm going to be nice to people today." I laughed so hard.

Me too. I sent it to my coworkers
Beautiful knife, was that some sort of stone or damascus style steel?
Makes no mind anyway, beautiful.
If he didn’t like it, he woulda put it down. ✊Buckin’
true dat
I bet the ECU (computer) in the 500I has a "break in" tune for the first hour or whatever and then it changes the timing and fuel to full power after that.... The rings seat almost instantly. Cool to see a thumbs up for Stihl!
Could be...
If you compression test the saw it takes about 5-6 tanks before the rings start seating real well. Try it sometime!

i have seen snowmobiles that limit the RPMs for so many hours until they are broke in then they will gain engine speed and power
27:58 hogan with the “that’s what she said” 😂😂
I need head phones.............................Good catch, sweet!
I like how he hesitated lol
''Im going to be nice to people today.'' - walks around with a pointed knife in his hand :D
It's a happy knife
Dan from Happy Camp?
People just don’t realize how much work goes into cutting up a big old tree like that..my good buddy cuts down trees for a living and he works hard but he loves it!
I milled 4 planks yesterday with my Echo 18 inch chainsaw. Only 4 planks with the chainsaw mill and my back was sore. My best friend owns a tree service too and you're right, they work really hard but love the work.
True store! Took down a 68” ABH burr oak last year. Took 2 12 hour days to finish that up. 140 foot tall got almost 8 cord of wood from that tree. She was a monster
Nice video- men being men
@@AATreeService !!!!!!!!!!! Seriously big wood! I can't imagine trees like that!
"I'm going to be nice to people today"
He says with a knife in hand 🤣😂
A letter and hard wrapped plastic opener lol
@@ferrallderrall6588 hahaha love it!!!
Billy Ray... I can’t believe my eyes. ‘Ol Buckin’ is run’n a Stihl and grin’n! And to think, I’m run’n a 395 grin’n!
The world, she’s a change’n😉😎
Love ya, Bless’ns to ya, Tedd
Hello Tedd, I’m stihl in shock as well!😂
🤣
Yep he has seen the best and worst in the world. The journey is long but Billy now knows the way to go. Thank you Billy, for everything. Champion.
Been patiently and of course “Kindly” waiting for this 500i nicpixel edition
Am I the only one that thinks, this new Machine looks a bit weird in the hands of Bucklin 🤔😉😅
Wwwwwwwww
@@lucashuffman6820?
Man she cutts. I still live the sound of that hot rodd 125. You have. Reminds me of sitting at a traffic light and a old man rolling up in his big block hot rodd. And you can feel the cams lobeing in your chest.
Hay buckin. I run the 500i for 2 years it a monster saw but I have a lot of problems with a lot of part from the saw every week if I have a broken part most of the time it's the brake claw. I can feel that the saw is light built but the parts are also ligt and not strong built.
Sure dnt feel as solid as the older stihls does it?
you'd be one of the rare ones with issues. Madsen's has sold hundreds so far, no issues. I know they were out in Europe for a long time and they were working out the bugs, maybe what you have?? Cheers :)
Not to put any one down.. Can't make everyone happy however I am the kind of guy to listen and take notes..
Sthil fan. Maybe I missed it but is it dumb little stuff braking or more important stuff like harder parts.
As buckin was saying the casings may not hold up as long ext.
Dumb stuff that brakes to me is stuff the saw could run (maybe not for long) with out like plastic covers ext..
I am an automotive geared kind of guy so,again if I am missing something please forgive me..
I do have a 2 Sthil saws (MS 311 & MS 461) and both have there uses.
G'day Stihl fan what part of the world are you in that's the question?
I've seen 3 brake handles go in about the same spot on different saws. Maybe the weak link but disengage it by hand or with a scrench and you're good to go, just remembered you only have an inertia break at that point
for your information mr billy i did manage to start that kart saw lol however i did almost dislocated my shoulder in the process
Lol
Have you had a shot of the 500i yet. I'm waiting for one that I won in a competition last week. Going to put a bark box on it for sure. The leadburn logger Scotland.
Yea... Throwing down the caution flag on some of those high compression saws...a dislocated shoulder is no fun, it's easy to do when your muscles get stronger than your brain.. 😊
Hey Hogan! Nice to see you in the comments👍 don’t tell Buckin but I think your dolmar is the fastest cutter 😁 ever have any issues with it?
Been waiting for this video, glad to finally see it.
When BBR cuts a round, you could measure that thing with a micrometer from side to side. That is a testament to his sawmanship but also his skill in hand filing.
I think that’s what years of experience get you
Oooooooooooooo
Agreed, he ought to keep and brand some of them for sale/advertisement if he doesn't.
You have a unique ability to stay organized and manage your time effectively.
Your ability to see the best in people is truly remarkable.
Always trying to help folks better themselves. The positive is just overwhelming. Thanks for that last little bit.
if we all lift each other then no gets stomped on
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith ❤
This February deep snow is bringing me down. So much that needs to be done. I did also enjoy the closing message we all need a little hope.
Nick pixel let me start off with a thank you! And second buckin is happy with a stihl in his hands! :) the talent on this site!
Hands down my favorite Buckin’ vid. I’m stihl all the way and this is better than a pepperoni pizza! I’m diggin it for sure. Or cutting it, whatever.
A WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF SAWS AND OPERATORS, A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE HERE. LOVE WINS
Ready for this series ❤️ love this community
We love you back💪❤👍 This is gonna be awesome!!
Thanks for helping make this happen with the saw Nick! 👍👌👊😎
@@FectoReviews thank you! friendships made here are a blessing. Im just happy to help where i can to make a difference. It will be fun to do some filming once travel opens up.
@@NickPixelTV You bet! Couldn’t agree more. I’ll be watching along the way.
What did he say. ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR 💪🏻💪🏻 thank you for starting us off rite my friend.
Kindness and love
Next up: worlds first turbo charged and N2O boosted chainsaw
That old saw has some intense power.
Chainsaws and heavy machinery , older and younger men working . Old and new saws ,old and new trucks. And a big spectrum of skill levels, this video has it all.
Got 3 of these saws and been using for a year and a half now. No serious problems just need to watch out for the cracking in the fuel tank and plastic is fairly weak .but its and absolute beast enjoy.
Tom miller from across the pond
That 500 is a monster with that new muffler oh...man!!! Shes just loving that wood!!!
I have a 462 with a bark box and it transformed it, it now so crisp on the throttle. It literally “barks” nice work buckin enjoy the future!
Agree 100%. It really screams with the barkbox. Nice pickup in the low end too. Love my 462. Just wish I could fine a wrap handle for it that doesn't cost 155 bucks on ebay.
Well done. That "look" when she woke up is priceless.
hey jay
Wow this was a very dangerous and technical tree drop, and this team makes it look easy, hats off to you Billy, what a impressive crew. it made me chuckle to watch you all giggling like 5 years olds on Christmas morning over the new and vintage saws alike.
Yeah like no mesh or glasses , or saw pants, to each his own, i had a chain break and wild whip in 70s, bought chaps next day, always wore fog resistant glasses
@@daleval2182 But they'll wear ear protection right. No hate at all to Buckin'. In fact, I'm a big supporter of his and everything he does, but his protection priorities are a bit odd. Just saying.
Your ability to work collaboratively and build strong teams is truly impressive.
Your ability to maintain a positive attitude and outlook in the face of adversity is truly admirable.
That Stihl looks good on you Buckin!
No better time to do this than 6AM.
im excited to see buckin with a stihl in his hands
That Stihl saw was fantastic. The way you plunged it, nose first, into that trunk was amazing. But, that Mcculloch was just loafing while it was plowing through that log. Like a hot knife through butter. 😳👍😁
You have a natural ability to lead and inspire others.
You have a keen eye for detail and a knack for getting things done right.
Bucking Billy Ray, you are the best. Kain't tell you how much I enjoy every 1 of your videos. Keep M coming.
"Stihl" holdin' on to the 461's. I've fell, bucked and blown up a few. Still love em. The 462s and the 500s have just felt too damn "squishy" I've yet to try one with the after market motor mounts so I can't rightly disapprove. As far as the Bark Box goes... well, absolute must have. West coast is killing it with them things. Buckin' has sparked hope in me for the 500i for sure. I'm just not sure if it's just his "contagious positivity" or not. Take care Buckin'. You're a damn legend.
Modern Scandi' saws are made with a firm sight on complying with hand-arm vibration figures hence the squishiness. You wouldn't believe the lengths European employers have to go to to comply with regulations. However, the way the 500i is set up the daily exposure limits are similar to a saw two cc classes lower.
@@longlowdog I understand why they're squishy. It just doesn't work for cutting in the Pacific Northwest. I don't care about vibration. It's a great saw. I just want to run it with the stiffened up 661 mounts I've heard you can use.
Your creativity and innovation are truly inspiring.
Hey Buckin I was really wondering if you were gonna like that thing. Do ya think it will still be running 40 years from now like your old Macs? Love and kindness
I am sure it will.. Just like a car with bad electronics. You can go with stand alone stuff you can get. I am sure someone will make a kit or what not that will work..
However only time will tell..
Super creepy this just got posted... I had one of those saws in my hands not two hours ago at a shop in kelowna. Hadn't even heard of the 500i before 😄 She's a beauty that's for sure. 👍🏻
You have a gift for making people feel comfortable and welcome.
Wow that was wild. You had the whole gang there. I loved the humor in the beginning. Well done
Wowzer, wowzer Woooooooo!! Been waitin to see you run that saw Buckin and hear your thoughts! 😃👍💪
Same here.. Almost should have waited to get one.. But I am happy with my 461..
That 500i is definitely one angry Beaver!
I have been waiting for this since I found out you were getting this saw. Love it when you're on the drums.
Been waiting for this review. Thumbs up, tune in. Happy days. Thank you Buckin'.
What do you think about that power to weight ratio?
I’m not up on the backstory here. Was this a stock saw with the exception of the bark box? Or had someone ported it?
Brand new and stock
No it has a bark box on, check it out on his ig
@@nathanswanson6761 yup. I was referring to the porting. He said other than the bark box.
I’ve been thinking about upgrading my 372 to a 500i... I think I’m sold now!!!
You won't be sorry!!!
I did exactly this mate I have my own ported 372 it's. Lovely saw but got a ripper deal on a 500i and I'm sure impressed with it really shines when I'm climbing and blocking down the extra power and less weight goes along way after 6 hours.
I hope U keep that 372 yet. That will be the best saw U ever own
The 500i is by far the best saw that Stihl has released in my opinion. At first, I didn't like it, but after a week of using it every day in the brush I've come to love it. Mine had a break in period of at least 10 hour run time then it completely opened up. From what ive read other people said the same thing. Out of the box til now it's a completely different saw. Give it a chance you will enjoy it. The thing I like the most about it is the consistency it gives you. The power is always there which is where fuel injected shines in my opinion. Surprisingly I haven't felt like I've needed more power and I've put it in some very big wood.
Drop it and see how it runs. Just bouncing around in a truck bed has required us to bring our “electronic tuned” saws back the dealer repeatedly at $60 a pop. They have to plug them in and reflash/update the tune.
Do you think he will be flashing his own saws should he sign on?
@@stevefrazier2214 naw man I totally get where you're coming from. I get it. Luckily I haven't had that problem. I always take extra good care of my tools and equipment though because that's an extra expense that can be prevented by taking the extra time out. Fuel injected saws has alot of room to be improved upon but I think it's the potential gold standard. I'm not a believer in battery powered when it come to heavy usage. The 500i is an outstanding new platform to build off of though.
@@moose1164 we have had the battery powered top handle huskies since they came out, 5+ years? The saws and the batteries have outlasted any gas top handle I’ve ever owned. A husky rep shocked when we told him how old they were and joked about needing to do something about that...you probably know gas are rated for a certain amount of hours of use. We currently have 5 battery saws, including the new version. We no longer own a gas powered top handle. We grab a 50cc gasser when the top handles are not enough. The new husky with the nano cut bar/chain from Oregon is the tits. Battery powered saws for technical climbing and lift work are awesome. No pull start, no idling saw. Waiting for the day a power to weight battery saw competes with a 120cc saw!
@@stevefrazier2214 oh I agree. I like the battery top handle saws for climbing but I've ran into limbs that a battery powered couldn't finish the job. The actual power is where they need to make the most improvements in my opinion. Battery power has come a long way and will eventually surpass gas I think.
I think Buckin Billy Ray found his new saw the Stihl MS 500i!
You're about to sell so many bark boxes. it was a meme for a while, still is... Now you just convinced everyone.
What is a bark box?
@@cwatson42785 After market exhaust. Its the big this now days.
@@northernwoodsman ah I see! Is it to make it quieter or more performance?
@@cwatson42785 More performance .
@@northernwoodsman Ah thanks for the info!
Great footage on this one buddy. Love the 125 shows also Buckin. Thank you Donny Walker and Ian Shaw for the great fun of the unveiling of the 500I. Love it all fellas. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓
That's the quickest bar and chain install I've ever seen 😂
I think I could maybe pull the cart saw--if I put my foot on it! 😉
You have a remarkable ability to stay focused and on-task, even in the face of distractions.
Love that old Mac! Still kickin after all those years. Wonder how many of the "new" saws will last that long :) And excellent message at the end :)
Your kindness and generosity are unmatched.
This is awesome! Line it up against you meanest saw BR!
Gday snowman, hope alls been well and safe your end mate..😎👍🇦🇺
@@loadeddog8015 !!!
Billy Ray, one thing that happens with these computerized saws is they "learn" from the throttle demand and the actual engine rpm as to what the load is. If throttle demand is 100%, but engine rpm is low, then the system can add more fuel to compensate. Sometimes this process takes a couple cuts to allow enough data for the computer to make the adjustments. It doesn't happen with a single quick cut under heavy load because then subsequent cuts will be too rich. If you're doing big cut after big cut, it'll start to dump more fuel in. If you switch back from Buckin' to Limbin', you may detect less power when you then jump back into a heavy load cut.

Been waiting for this video and it’s freakin awesome! Love it! I love my 500i. Everyone has says the bark box really makes the saw sing. I guess I’ll have to get me one. Cheers!
Your positive energy and attitude are truly infectious.
Pleased to hear your thoughts Billy. I run a 500i with just a 25" bar and love it's power to weight ratio.
You have a gift for motivating others to be their best selves.

Awesome video - I love my 500i . I am by no means a pro like you - but I love the saw. Really looking forward to all the things that are coming to the channel. Thank you for the video.
I want one but I'm disabled oh how I wish I could afford one
I've been using a 55 super wiz homelite bow saw the 500 looks a lot faster and safer to me

long time haven't see buckin with a modern saw !
Killer video and amazing work ethic.
Loved the beginning when he tosses up the saw in the air, that gave me quivers... And to have it fall back down with the bar and handle... Hilarious

This is my favorite video! Because i have and love the 500i perhaps. Also how nick sent and buckin recieved the saw. Upgraded it and that Donny was there! Wow!! I want to see more adventures with the 500i in the hands of this true master!! Go buckin! Be kind & be productive with the reliablilty of the new 500!!!! Your the man!!!
You have a way of making everyone feel valued and appreciated.
Woah, Buckin' Billy Ray gets transported into the 21st century! I'm not sure the people of the future can handle it!
It’s Christmas in February! Look at Buckin tear into that box 📦 😂
old saws old truck and old boys the saws run better than the boys //// they do here lol
That's great! You guys are doin a job in town and passing saws around and having fun hootin and hollerin!! Cool video. Have a nice day
I had to get out of bed as soon as I saw the title.
I'm not a professional arborist (yet) but I got myself a 500i a few months ago (here in Europe they're available "over the counter" :D).
it's brutal. absolutely aggressive acceleration. most of the times starts on the 2nd pull (from stone dead), never had more than three pulls though (not even the first start!).
the only downside is the filter system. you have to fabricobble something together to keep it chip-tight because in stock form it isn't quite - there are two openings to the filter where chips/dust can get in, one is the main opening (which is tight) and the other is the one that the cam engages the cover.
Good to know...
Thank you for your observations
@@jirusjirus9322 no worries.
I fixed mine by adding a rubber "washer" over the filter-housing-cover cam-nipple where it locks on (by cutting a piece of bicycle inner-tube to size).
it's definitly tight now, not letting any particles through.
did the same around the "main" hole in the filter, just a ring of rubber around the housing fixed it completely.
also, now the cam locks on more positively (not hotdog-down-the-hallway-style like stock)
Uh oh, yer runnin' a stihl there Buckin. Next thing you'll know is you'll be riding around in a Chevy hahaha ha! Great 👍 video!
i like chevy
I have racks and racks of saws at that now sit idle. All I keep on my trucks now West Coast 2511s, West Coast MS 291s and 500i. Occasional 88 for the big removals but eh
Only because I’m serious about my business.
I if you can get more power from less weight, save your shoulders for your kids and grandkids.
Yesss... Giant blessings to the kids kids

Hello, that was great. Can you let the Bearclaw run that 500 I want to see what his eyeballs do. WOW. Looks like good times again. Great show BBR.✊✊🫀👍
They way you are working the throttle on that 500i she sounds dialed in! Responsive.

Best saw I ever bought hands down
This was a lot of fun buckin. Felt like i was there. Big freakin wood buckin party. Thank you.

Getting her done as always. Hell...... give everybody a camera, and fly a drone. Put some drum rolls it there, maybe some cow bell. Mix it up a little Bucking. That camera in this on is good when that hinge broke. I could almost smell it. Very good!..
definitely needs more cowbell...
Loving my new 500i.
Great message at the end. Love the optimism and the call to invest in yourself and others going forward. Future is bright when we realize we're all in this together and put our collective arms around eachother and shoulders to the wheel. Thanks man!

Your ability to stay calm and composed in stressful situations is truly impressive.
You could have easily told the fellow to take a hike on the cookies. You didn't. You walk the walk Buckin. Talk is cheap. The proofs in the pudding.
And in a different direction.... I seriously think you could make an electric fish fillet knife cut wood!!!
This is one of the funniest comments ever....
I can't figure if Buckin is my brother... Cousin... Uncle... Or friend..... Mbeee all

People are respecting my personal boundaries, i always wanted that... Happier than ever.
Thanks Buckin and army of kindness

This thing just woke up!hahahaha
When can I put a deposit down on a wood bullet?
@@highdesignfool oh man I didn’t get it at first but that’s good
Theirs a few loggers in my area that are running the 500i. They started running them summer 2020. Only complaints I’ve heard is that they were very hard on fuel and they overheated some. Maybe that bark box would help??? Other then that they like them.
I’ve heard the same for fuel consumption. However I did see a review that stated after a while (probably fully broken in), the saw did flip and started sipping, instead of drinking, fuel. I know that in a couple of months I’ll find out myself. 😁
check out tank capacity and compare to others its small
Wow... nice catch Buckin'!! :)
Here in Brazil an average of 80 trees per minute is cut in the Amazon. And they do nothing to stop it. While I or anyone can’t have a chainsaw to not break my home or fall on my car. Because the law does not allow it and if you catch me you pay an absurd fine and you are still going to jail. Country shit I live
So sorry to hear... If there was a department of ecology in Brazil they could manifest ordinance to plant more trees, they have so many new strains of hybrid trees that grow quickly, the Amazon basin and forests could be replenished in 20 years easily....
@@jirusjirus9322 Yes for sure. I like trees just can't risk the house and passages on public roads. Be well and health to you and the whole family, peace and thanks.
I've been waiting for this 🙌
Tell Donny to very gently begin hanging from a bar - like a chin up bar - it will fix his shoulders. Just low down, he doesn't have to, or want to, put his whole weight on it, gradually build up until you're fully hanging.
It will hurt, it just does, I know because I did it. But it isn't damaging you. I couldn't pull a saw, I couldn't sleep on my side, it hurt to pull my coat on - but just doing this, starting with 5 - 10 seconds a day, fixed my shoulders in under two months and I'd spent hundreds, probably thousands of pounds over two years with specialists.
Donny, you can fix them.
Yes...
This type of physical therapy is invaluable to be in good shape... I actually do know... I'm 65 and have recovered successfully from numerous physical maladies.

Lovin’ my new MS 500i 👍
Hi how are you doing today i have a ms 440
32in bar
This must sound carzzzy for those that dont cut wood but its music to my ears just a tweak and all sounds good again just like a guitar or a piano love it back to nature but by petrol
engine how good is that also knowing when a saw aint got oil just a feeling but a feeling none the less so just pour it out of the can don't let the saw suffer just like your horse or dog
they/it needs food and looking after If looked after they will out live you "not the horse or dog " but the saw !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike Morgan’s go to saw now !!!!
Wow, I never thought I would see Buckin Praise a Stihl! Not that I doubted he has the heart, I've been doubting Stihl 💔
