Buckin, I love you too. I just wanted to share a brief reason why your channel is one of my favorites of all time: I had one heck of a couple of days buckin. Emotions, feelings, events happened, and it all has left me devastated. I needed something to cheer me up, and I knew just the man to watch. Thank you. I love you. I appreciate you. I look up to you. Your outlook on life is inspiring. You may have even saved my life tonight. It was dark. But you got me out of it. Watchin buckin happy to be buckin. Happy to run a saw. You are creating a heck of a ripple effect. This is real man talk. You have become a mentor to me. Again, thank you so much for bringing light into this world.
Indeed he is. Friend, I'm sorry to hear you are going through a rough time. I'm happy for you that you found this channel and that Buckin' and this channel are helping you cope. Life can get real dark, but I know that with time, you can overcome. Just keep the faith, and know that you are among friends here. Stay strong ✊🏻
Buckin brand doesn't separate me from liking all power saws. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on round filing a saw. It has helped me out a lot. Stay Buckin, brother!!!
Back in 76 I worked logging in the Kitimat Valley . The company had Sthil 050s , they were hard to start , pull the starter cord handle right thru your fingers . They were full of little holes from guys kicking them with their cork boots . They replaced with the Husqvarna 2100 , been a Husky fan ever since . 👍🇨🇦
The 500 is different to run but lots of guys up here like them for falling the big wood. Also Buckin you’ve kind of inspired me to start putting a few of my logging videos on TH-cam 👍 It’s kinda fun
" i can hear a dull saw through the valley " 🤣🤣👊 love it buckin! Your a very inspiring person! Ive aquired many skills with my saws because of your videos
I love it, we’re getting alone and believe we will end up on good terms , but in the end a mutual decision to go our separate ways might be the best . But I have to learn more first,, love yer spirit terry
Well done Buckin 👍personally you helped me enough cause I’m running a 500i 2 years now So once again thank u 🙏🏻 and I appreciate your positive and kindness From Greece 🇬🇷 I salute u man 🌲☘️
Glad to see the shoulder doing better. Being injured and taking that step back takes a lot of determination. Hurt my back a few weeks backs and it’s hard not to go into the woods, it’s what we do!
I love being here because of mood you are always happy and a go gether buckin you can make a growing man blush and I learn a lot you have helped me on some of my darker days and it really pick me up.
Been running stihl a long time 046 mag is my baby love the 029 too and also have my uncles 041 ol school keep the shoulder in check don’t push it. Lov ya bro 😇😇🍩🍩
Love ya man, your the friend I never had. To accomplish that on YOU TUBE? THATS SAYIN SOMETHING! 99.9% talk at the camera, but your sincerity to help others comes shining through! Integrity, "Good" morals, Sincerely, thank You. And God Bless you. Edit to say: I'm 67, new to cutting wood for each winter's heat. Not that I've never cut down a tree or cut any wood, but never In quantity. I have a Makita 431, (Sach's Dolmar) And JUST got a 500i R. If it wasn't for you I may have run that saw wrong it's whole life, or mine! And now I know I need TWO chains- Sharpened Differently. (Hungry Raker. One more aggressive for smaller stuff, and another, which I had already purchased! (One is none- TWO is one!) And I have safety pants, boots, etc. USN RETIRED. : ))
Hey Buckin' I have Stihl 441cm and when I got it it was woeful and took about 6 months of perseverance, but now it is one of the strongest saws I run! But the break in period was ridiculous. The calibration of the saw periodically makes such a difference too!
I love how you are you don't care what theses wonderful people use for power saws I have heard to many people making fun of people on what they use love you buddy.
Hard to beat the 500's. I bought one a few years ago, and loved it so much I grabbed a couple more. They've become my everyday go to's for falling timber
Hi buckin I’m 54 years old always learning something new every day that’s what life is about we also learned from our mistakes. I no what you mean about the bark box I found straight shot to be the same exhaust fumes hit in the face when cutting on other side. Gordy is a great guy I like watching his TH-cam channel he has some pretty cool stuff. You should check out the mufflers that HLsupply performance stainless steel dual port muffler cover for 500i. I have one on my STIHL 661 and very impressed exhaust fumes don’t hit you in face when cutting on other side the dual pipes are aiming towards the dogs. I have one for 500i but haven’t installed it yet good video stay safe out there 👍
I'm still using my Dad's old chainsaws and they've worked good for me. MS 390 Stihl and a Husqvarna 455. No mods as of yet but I have been thinkin about some muffler mods. Thank you for all your help in understanding the chainsaw in a better way. God bless from Northeast Alabama.
Three years ago I had a 500i cutoff saw nobody told me to calibrate it probably why it blew up after cutting a bunch of granite I ended up with the TS 700 much bigger and carburator like I am used to your tips on tuning were spot on Buckin thank you!!!!!!
ive ran the 500 and many others and the saw i love the most is the 440 mag stihl. i just picked up a 046 stihl too that im really likin too but it needs alittle work still. runs great just needs some love
BUCKIN you are a highly enlightened Cat. Love the videos keep up the good work, and spreading the good word. Hard work kindness and respect. I’m a Husky 70 cc guy myself my favorite power to weight ratio.
Great to see you on the mends my friend, it's funny how you can learn people's actions facial expressions movement in general while spending time with them though we have never met we have cut down hundreds of trees, we drove across Canada went to a country music concert I am used to seeing you wound tighter than an 8 day clock. I can see it's tough on you not being able to do what you love, it's tough on me as well I feel for you as I was worried about you I prayed for you. I am an early riser got up this morning at 5:30 turned on TH-cam looking for Buckin Billy Ray clicked on this video and saw a different man that i had been seeing for the past 3 weeks I can see your spirit and body is getting stronger I am feeling better now seeing that you are on the mends thank you for being a part of my daily routine it means a lot to me when I click on and see that you have posted a new video, you stay safe keep getting stronger and i will keep praying for you to get better as well thanks my friend.
Hey what's up Billy Ray! Just wanted to say thank you for the content you put up man. Its much appreciated. I've been a fan for more than a few years but just recently built up the courage to comment. From Santa Cruz County, CA. You're the best man! Thanks!
From a brother just south of your border, in N.W. Montana...thanks for your great insight! Take care of those shoulders, they're all ya got. After a few surgeries on both of mine...man, I know how it is.
My newest and smallest saw is a 1990ish 038 magnum Stihl. Also have an 80 something 084 and an 056. All have been run with bow bars far more than they were ever run with straight bars
Hey Billy I love your chainsaw videos, they have helped me alot special the chain sharpening get the gullet!! And I do run a STIHL ms 271 Farm Boss. Keep spreading the positive vibes God Bless.
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith your welcome buckin 😉 love your work on the channel 🤘🤘been watching for a couple of years now. I have only tried the straight shot. I learn a lot from you thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences you are a very kind man buckin
Rip saw 😮, I’m old school stick to jonsered and husqvarna 2195 and 98 . I’m 60 plus in age still put in 10 hrs a day in the timber in my blood . Still love my hand file over all the new stuff out let it at that . 😊
Hey Buckin, I am glad your liking the 500. I am glad you got to see the Rip saw team. They are from my hometown! I don’t know them personally. I’m seriously thinking about sending my 500 to them for some work. I’m curious on what you thought of good ole Johnstown. I love the videos, I have learned so much from your channel! Keep up the phenomenal videos!!!
Hey Buckin, that's pretty a Stihl saw in general. They like to have load against them. My 460 Mag has work.... its like to run the same as the 500i. When you are talking the rakers... its the same for the 460. Filing is key with them. Stock may be a little different. You can bear down on a Stihl. My Husky... you can't do it as much. RipSaw made a rootin', tootin' saw. That was a great test. I glad you like it. Great video brother! Peace and love!
It might sound a bit lame but.. your level of skill with a saw is just amazing to watch. Today you cut slabs of the stump which were perfect without even watching what you were doing. The more I watch, the more I realize you are a zen master of power saws.
Being new in the timber this is good to watch. My boss runs these exclusively and I've got to get a feel for them, LOTS just clicked watching you run it and knowing what to listen for. Still think I prefer running my 066 when it's in decent running order but that's about a chance in a million 🥸 Thanks for posting and much love. Good to see ya cuttin.
W/ my 500i, I ran 5 tanks through it before going full throttle, just to break it in and learn it. I added a bark box after the first couple tanks. Never once had the 4 stroke issues you’ve been having. Not sure if it was the size of wood or what, but just never had those issues. No porting, just stock plus a WCS bark box. Hmmm…
I think your right on. Another - who uses my saw, will bog it out - run the chain dull. Once I learned to file a chain at 14 like you prob, I know I ruined a chain or two getting to a point where I realized the chain needed 3 minutes of work - to save me hours and sore muscles from forcing the saw. Run fast - run sharp! Ironhhorse! Tinman! Cheers! Much Love! Be well!
Great job Buck'n, might give some thought to replacing your target for ax throwing with one of those thicker cookies Ya been cutting... just a thought👌👍
Dual Response Trigger- Rocked Forward or Back for Lean or ~Fat throttle Response ...that would fix the 500i ...give it two seperate modes that could be instantly switched between
Bucking you can have Donnie put one of those leather covers he puts on the side cover to keep the dust away with you have the BarkBox on there it works great as well God bless
I will tell you this buckinI have many of 500is they're all souped up I have a BarkBox on 4 of them I also have the bigger West Coast saw side cover it does keep the chips away a lot more than the stock one on the 500 I I believe myself the stock one is so small hope that helps God bless
Not seeing those bog issues with 550 mk2 572 and especially 592. All 3 saws have good range of power at all rpms. Though mine are not ported. Wondering if parameters set by computer wont allow variation of fuel air mix? Hard to figure out in the woods. I want to learn but not practical in the woods.
well looks like u just going to have to lode it up or take the rankers down a little lower what your use to or do something differnt like see if could put a carb on it from maybe a 460 461 462 or a 660 maybe if its possible id probly do try rankers if dont work 460 or 660 carb yep im soaking all ironhorse and tinmans knowledge i defently would love the ironhours 372 id be happy with the 86cc one great video buckin
Buckin - I think I have it figured out. Us east coast guys put it into any hardwood 2" or bigger and it gets the load it needs. Out on the west coast...with that soft wood you have...it needs to be 20" in diameter. 🤣😂 Just kidding - love watching your content, but I love my stock 500i.
I have to admit I have been spoiled with the old hot rod 71 -72 that cover all basis. they missed the mark a bit on the 500 but it is great in the bigger stuff fer sure.
I own both Stihl and Husky and both are wonderfull, only downside to them is Husky is heavy and Stihl needs a couple pulls on the rope to start otherwise both brands is hands down the best in the saw world! Nobody beats them not even them selves.
I can hear what your saying about the 500i chainsaw and you are right it sounds like when your the wood it chatters like the chain isn't biting into the wood it sounds like it's skipping like it's trying to cut into the wood but skipping teeth and or the rakers are to high and the teeth can't get a good grip . The muffler should be changed along with the air filter it doesn't sound like it's getting enough air is going in or out of the chainsaw. Good air make a lot of difference. DVT.
Carbs will only put so much fuel and air into a cylinder. They are set at a level that it will not blow up. A fuel injection engine does not have those limits. They have to have a way to limit revs or they would blow up all the time. When it hits the rev limiter it may sound funny depending on the type of rev limiter used.
The design of the air cooling is where most of the sawdust is coming from in my experience. The 572, 592 and 500i are all terrible clutch up with a pulling chain for sawdust in the face. I’ve riveted a piece of leather onto the plastic sawdust deflector on the handlebars of the 500i. Even with a bark box it pretty must solves the issue. Happy cuttin!
Hey, the chips in the face is nothing new. I fell timber with an 084 years ago, that had the extended chip deflector and 3/4 wrap bar. Saw was designed in the 80's and I had to rivet a rubber flap to the side of the chip deflector. The Canadian fellers have been doing that for well over 30 years now, to keep chips from going down their shirt. I had to be real careful, because I was cutting large red cedar, which I'm allergic to. Those chips down my shirt would leave me itching and covered in welts!
@@forrestwright5981 for sure, but the new designs of the cylinders and top covers make it even worse. I just changed my avatar and you can see a stock plastic chip deflector on the bars, I’ve riveted leather on it to help manage it. Cheers.
Hey Buckin’, I’m glad to see the 500i is growing on you and you’re humble enough to admit you just needed to learn a little about it. Quick question, what’s your opinion on removing and plugging the decomp valve on this saw? Heard people having issues with leaking and plugging it to avoid it. Thanks!
She likes a constant load or it will start 4 stroking. The stock clutch sprocket is 7 pin. For smaller wood you might want to run an 8 pin sprocket. More chain speed seems to help with 4 stroking in smaller wood quite a bit.
I have read a lot of online reviews at Stihl about people having difficulty starting this saw or them running too lean and burning down the top end, not sure I want to try my luck with this this new fuel injected saw.
From the techs I have talked to the 500i is bad about cold seizures. It revs WOT instantly to max RPM(13000-14000). So, just let the saw warm up proper and that shouldn't be a problem. Also, just don't drop start it holding the trigger. It will start fine otherwise.
Buckin' tried and tested Husky Man... yea you have made your McCulloch's see you though some time in the woods like your 110's! May there be peace and love in all your worlds! Life's too short for angst!
The saw dancing on the stump was hilarious. Great to see you cutting and smiling again Buckin'.
Buckin, I love you too. I just wanted to share a brief reason why your channel is one of my favorites of all time:
I had one heck of a couple of days buckin. Emotions, feelings, events happened, and it all has left me devastated. I needed something to cheer me up, and I knew just the man to watch. Thank you. I love you. I appreciate you. I look up to you. Your outlook on life is inspiring. You may have even saved my life tonight. It was dark. But you got me out of it. Watchin buckin happy to be buckin. Happy to run a saw. You are creating a heck of a ripple effect. This is real man talk. You have become a mentor to me. Again, thank you so much for bringing light into this world.
This was after I prayed. Prayer is always first!
Indeed he is.
Friend, I'm sorry to hear you are going through a rough time. I'm happy for you that you found this channel and that Buckin' and this channel are helping you cope.
Life can get real dark, but I know that with time, you can overcome. Just keep the faith, and know that you are among friends here.
Stay strong ✊🏻
Praying can be done every moment of the day .. a good one is ‘thank you ‘. I glad your here and thx for sharing your experience, love you

I am surprised he can hear anything as much as he runs saws without hearing protection.
Right on
Good morning Buckin, I'm glad to see 👀 the Stihl 500i and you are back on speaking terms. Working out for the both of you. Love you and love to all.
I love it, we’re getting alone and believe we will end up on good terms , but in the end a mutual decision to go our separate ways might be the best . But I have to learn more first,, love yer spirit terry
Your saw shack is now complete.

Bucking you can have Donnie put one of those leather covers he puts on the side cover to keep the dust away with you have the BarkBox on there it works great as well God bless
Buckin, you should Get Donny to Port your second 500i and compare in a Video
The 500 don't impress me....
But your sharpening !
Ouuuuuu
Awesome woodman
Oh dear here we go again. Cheers.
im not done
A bit sensitive. I love it! How true. Break out that Ol' Iron Horse ripper and lets settle this!
I to am old school sir. 68 c30 with w 327 v8 an granny low 4speed. Is my everyday work truck. 😊❤
Cant wait to see you run the latest ironhorse 372 masterpiece.
Ohhhh yeah
Join the fun, cut the tree. Buckin's new hit single! Sensitive IS the word!
Ha ha
I will tell you this buckinI have many of 500is they're all souped up I have a BarkBox on 4 of them I also have the bigger West Coast saw side cover it does keep the chips away a lot more than the stock one on the 500 I I believe myself the stock one is so small hope that helps God bless
What does the change in sound signify? Does it matter that it's growling, or is it a matter of taste?
Precisely, a matter of taste.
I know what ya mean about the bark box exhaust exit….that’s why I didn’t get one … but you could weld a lil re direct flap on there
Easy fix indeed . WCS probably aware of this
Love to see you compare this to the 462 now that you've wrapped your head around the 500
Not seeing those bog issues with 550 mk2 572 and especially 592. All 3 saws have good range of power at all rpms. Though mine are not ported. Wondering if parameters set by computer wont allow variation of fuel air mix? Hard to figure out in the woods. I want to learn but not practical in the woods.
well looks like u just going to have to lode it up or take the rankers down a little lower what your use to or do something differnt like see if could put a carb on it from maybe a 460 461 462 or a 660 maybe if its possible id probly do try rankers if dont work 460 or 660 carb yep im soaking all ironhorse and tinmans knowledge i defently would love the ironhours 372 id be happy with the 86cc one great video buckin
The MS500i does quite well.
Buckin - I think I have it figured out. Us east coast guys put it into any hardwood 2" or bigger and it gets the load it needs. Out on the west coast...with that soft wood you have...it needs to be 20" in diameter. 🤣😂 Just kidding - love watching your content, but I love my stock 500i.
I have to admit I have been spoiled with the old hot rod 71 -72 that cover all basis. they missed the mark a bit on the 500 but it is great in the bigger stuff fer sure.
I own both Stihl and Husky and both are wonderfull, only downside to them is Husky is heavy and Stihl needs a couple pulls on the rope to start otherwise both brands is hands down the best in the saw world! Nobody beats them not even them selves.
I can hear what your saying about the 500i chainsaw and you are right it sounds like when your the wood it chatters like the chain isn't biting into the wood it sounds like it's skipping like it's trying to cut into the wood but skipping teeth and or the rakers are to high and the teeth can't get a good grip . The muffler should be changed along with the air filter it doesn't sound like it's getting enough air is going in or out of the chainsaw. Good air make a lot of difference. DVT.
Devon they are all like this . from the factory
My ms271 does that same noise you're talking about unless it has a load on it.
Carbs will only put so much fuel and air into a cylinder. They are set at a level that it will not blow up. A fuel injection engine does not have those limits. They have to have a way to limit revs or they would blow up all the time. When it hits the rev limiter it may sound funny depending on the type of rev limiter used.
I have only ran 2 saws in my life a stihl 290 and a Johnson 70e
The design of the air cooling is where most of the sawdust is coming from in my experience. The 572, 592 and 500i are all terrible clutch up with a pulling chain for sawdust in the face. I’ve riveted a piece of leather onto the plastic sawdust deflector on the handlebars of the 500i. Even with a bark box it pretty must solves the issue. Happy cuttin!
Hey, the chips in the face is nothing new. I fell timber with an 084 years ago, that had the extended chip deflector and 3/4 wrap bar. Saw was designed in the 80's and I had to rivet a rubber flap to the side of the chip deflector. The Canadian fellers have been doing that for well over 30 years now, to keep chips from going down their shirt. I had to be real careful, because I was cutting large red cedar, which I'm allergic to. Those chips down my shirt would leave me itching and covered in welts!
@@forrestwright5981 for sure, but the new designs of the cylinders and top covers make it even worse. I just changed my avatar and you can see a stock plastic chip deflector on the bars, I’ve riveted leather on it to help manage it. Cheers.
Hey Buckin’, I’m glad to see the 500i is growing on you and you’re humble enough to admit you just needed to learn a little about it. Quick question, what’s your opinion on removing and plugging the decomp valve on this saw? Heard people having issues with leaking and plugging it to avoid it. Thanks!
She likes a constant load or it will start 4 stroking. The stock clutch sprocket is 7 pin. For smaller wood you might want to run an 8 pin sprocket. More chain speed seems to help with 4 stroking in smaller wood quite a bit.
Love it
Lookn good sir.
hi Bill,good video,I'm workin on removing a stump to but ran into some red ants,ok see ya billy.
I have read a lot of online reviews at Stihl about people having difficulty starting this saw or them running too lean and burning down the top end, not sure I want to try my luck with this this new fuel injected saw.
From the techs I have talked to the 500i is bad about cold seizures. It revs WOT instantly to max RPM(13000-14000). So, just let the saw warm up proper and that shouldn't be a problem. Also, just don't drop start it holding the trigger. It will start fine otherwise.
My personal is a 461 ported with a bark box and I know what you mean about getting dusted !!!
Buckin' tried and tested Husky Man... yea you have made your McCulloch's see you though some time in the woods like your 110's!
May there be peace and love in all your worlds! Life's too short for angst!
That is a different saw from the other day👍👊
