Hey Buckin' - it sure is surreal to see you at my parents house and watch it all here on youtube. Thanks for all that you do, and the shout out definitely put a smile on my face! Shawn and I have been watching your videos for a few years now, we both like fixing up and running our saws, and your videos are chalk full of great advice! - Brian
Thanks for the shout out Buckin’. Love the channel, learned so much and the content is great. Keeping all the chainsaws in my collection and using them whenever I can really gives me something to look forward to while also providing wood for our camping trips and family. Keep up the good work. Thanks again. Shawn
You are who I aspire to be. You work hard, have a good outlook on life, and drive nothing made in this century. I'm 36, but old school born in the wrong time. I just appreciate how wholesome you are and love your videos, keep them coming.
I was a choker setter during the summers while going to college starting my first season logging in 1969. Worked on several sides from cat, high lead, and slack line with a raised spar all in old grow. This was all in Mount Hood National forest here in Oregon. Love your videos, brings back great memories of hard honest work. And, after all these years I still have my hard hat and boots just in case I get the call to go back ! 😊
Buckin school in session! I was that hairlip years ago that struggled pullin logs. Lol but one of ur old videos was a game changer for me! Words of wisdom from this man! Thanks bud!👌💪
Hello Sir. Thumb up - all the good hard work! Thanks for the tips, advice. I would like to work like you, but I had some health problems. And I am retired now. Have a beautiful, good, nice, super, funny day. Bye. Rudi from Slovenija - Europe.
150' I cut my first 93ish footer last month, still small time with my around the farm misc tree jobs...44' was my record(was in same group of trees with top broke out)! Thanks for all the videos Buckin!
Man that saw chooches! Thanks for the great video and reinforcing the keys to happiness in life and work...slow down, think the job through, prepare...don't be afraid of a little hard work...and most importantly...BE KIND!
Very informative , I just wanted to thank you for showing us how to sharpen a chain I was paying $7 to have one sharpened now I don’t have to. I live in the Midwest and I have a lot of hardwood to cut and my saw goes through them like butter. Thanks again!
Kind regards from Poland. Gotta do my bucking this Monday. A friend of mine just delivered some nice 8ft European beech logs for firewood. I still have to do some sharpening, but thanks to your videos I hope it goes all well.
Great time watching this video. I’m always learning stuff here and have three or so more logs to buck out of the bush myself. Your spirit is contagious. Heated my cabin and my neighbors with just a Stihl 271 and two mauls. And enough for next winter too already. Started a specialty smoker wood side hustle too. Thanks Buckin for all the tips.
Welcome to the new subscribers and a salute for the true blues…Nice work mate , neat little trick . The 572 is a rippin’ bit of kit . …love to all be kind …K Duff 🤛……😎👍🇦🇺
Love the ad-hoc shout out to Mama's boys Brian and Shawn, you know those two lads are TOTALLY chuffed watching this vid and telling all their buddies about it, haha! That shows the character of a man, very cool...
Another great video Buckin! Sharing all your forest wisdom to all of us aspiring woodsman! I also saw something extremely rare. Kinda like an albino fox, Buckin was briefly pinched - I now know he is human 😂
Another great video Buckin. I don't know anything about logging but i do enjoy watching you explain and showing the subscribers the kind of rigging you use in certain situations.
Thanks Hey Buckin, I did it, I’m with a good company and now training to be a tree worker and arborist. And now mentally I’m so much better than when I was a bricklayer. And now I love going to work and working hard. Thanks @BuckinBillyRaySmith I’ve learned a few skills from chainsaw operation to chain sharpening, and even chainsaw tuning, so thanks brother
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith appreciate you bro, I would love to just spend a day with you and just leaning from you. I love the power saws. I’m even thinking getting a brand new 572xp. Well if you are ever in Australia 😂
This video was awesome!! Love the setup of the rigging by the way. Work hard be kind, be humble and don't drink your own coolaid!! Your life is a real blessing to others!
Was setting chokers & ratting for cedar bolts after work on the Olympic Peninsula in the 80's. Goto saw back in those days was a 56 Mag Stihl. Began running a hammer exclusively thereafter as a carpenter.. I'm in Pennsylvania nowadays, retired. Hadn't picked up a chainsaw in a couple decades until a few years ago. I was kinda bored & figured firewood might be a lucrative hobby. Friends & family figured I had gone nutz when I bought my 572XP. Lol. It may be a bit much saw for what I do with it but damn, it is fun to run! Makes me feel like a kid again. Had the Husky into some 30' White Pine last weekend. That was the 572's first taste of respectively sized wood. It was 80° & sapfilled. The new saw's probably weighs half as much as my ol' 80's era 56. As much as I hate to admit it this old man today with the Husky could likely whip that lean mean version of his younger self running a big Stihl cord for cord. Just as fun today as it was then. I enjoy these videos.
Hello, bucking army, and hello Billy, I hope you all, including you, to Billy, are having a great day/ weekend so far. My day / weekend has been okay so far. i got a learners test on the 13th and my birthday on the 16th, the big 33, as well, so busy days coming up for me
@Buckin' Billy Ray Smith yeah hopefully it all works out this time so i can actually get a job. Because right now nobody will take me on because i don't drive, which is frustrating, but i get it fully, though. because skills,experience,tools, saws,axes, etc. got all that, just not my drivers otherwise id should be working already so fingers crossed.
In the Pacific islands we have beetles that get right in the wood the moment it hits the ground. You have to spray it with insecticide right quick unless you want holes all up in it like something fierce. Mother nature in the fast lane out here. That and the termites recycle wood into dust faster than a Bandit chipper.
Great job, Buckin!! Man, I am glad to receive this knowledge that you share. It has helped me out a lot. Thank you Buckin take care, and God bless brother!!
@Buckin' Billy Ray Smith yes sir Buckin. You have helped me and a lot of people out from falling trees to sharpen power saws and to keep your equipment from being destroyed. Hey, you're a wise man for sharing your God-given skills.
Great video, I really like all the rigging and seeing that truck showing people how it’s done. Show us how your tow loop is attached to the truck. It makes the truck look even cooler. Thanks Buckin,
I have a 1985 one owner Husqvarna 50 rancher that was my grandpa's saw and probably not a dozen hours. Straight bar and has a bow bar with the upper and lower aluminum safety bars. It is like new. Runs like new. Some say bow is dangerous and i can understand without the bar guards but with them doesn't seem any more unsafe than a straight bar. I like the bow actually. I have a stihl ms 291 farm boss with a 20" bar also. But whats your thoughts on the 50 rancher with bow bar?
I'm a farmer from the prairies. So I have a high value for a tree from a different perspective. We have disease and pests we need to deal with out here , but . I was just wondering what you good people that make your living from the land out there on the coast think about knocking down old growth at this point in time ?
We've been doing this forever in my area but with yarding chain, it's super easy to do with chain. I highly recommend getting a length of chain if you plan on pulling logs around, it's the right tool for the job, rope and strap kinda works but will wear out and break super fast when you drag it in the dirt.
chains are brutal on yer truck special when yer stopped buy a stump ,, I've used everything, chokers , strawline , chain. for the seasoned rigger it dont much matter it all works , but for the green guy learnin to pull wood in his fancy dancy truck he's better breakin the riggin' than tearin' off his bumper . which a chain will definitely accomplish.
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith You think that giant strap is going to break before your bumper? lol. The big problem with ropes or straps is dragging them on the ground under a log tears them up super fast, then they break. Chains last for years of use, ropes last for a few trees.
@@nseric1233 I wood find it hard to believe that you and I or anyone wood use the same techniques in anything activity ,,you dig chains ..I dig ropes. pretty simple . glad we shared time together . enjoy yer stay, thx for watchin.
Is that the demo cutter tooth from Paul Bunyan, I ask (Rick) I think.... two times if I could get you demo 6" cut tooth . The guys at rip saw was going to tell ya , Husqvarna would send you one if you ask. Your friend Duane. Dayton Ohio

I've watched a bunch of fellas cut trees but what stands out about your work is just how cleanly and smoothly you get them down...
Ok I'm sold im buying a 572 xp husky this week.
Having fun and getting to help someone at the same time. Man that's great!!!
Your a teacher, did you know that, and a good one, thank you. Your awesome!
Very nice technique rolling that log. Working smarter not harder. Rip Saw has the name right, that saw was ripping! 👍

So excited to watch! Haven’t watched a second yet, but saw the Instagram teaser. Can’t wait to see what you think about that thing!
Great tip on the strap technique, Buckin’! I’m putting that trick to work on a few big spruce trees this weekend at our Alaskan homestead.
Glad to see you have power saw paints and safety glasses on 😂
Buckin another great show 👍 very informative thank you for sharing
Johno Darwin NT 👍
That was Awesome. Nice rigging. Wow!!
Kool
I am glad you said Bush, here in Australia, when the bush gets too thick , we then refer to it as Scrub
Very nice video
Tanks for the hints
Always Great Learning From Ya, B.R. Prayers For All Here ! ATB T God Bless
great video buckin.
That 572 seems like a good saw. I got one haven’t got much more then a tank through it yet. Keep up the good work.
LOVE YOU R WORK
This was enjoyable to watch.
Awesome video Buckin. Pretty cool rigging so the logs roll and love that truck of yours . Cheers my friend 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Tow strap beats the heck out of a peavey and manpower! Man those Dougs get tall out there 😮
Always such great content brother. Love all your videos. Bless you always.
Thx
I'm not really a hat guy! That hat collection is getting pretty big.😁😁
Great looking truck!
buckin bill back at it again
It's great watching you work Buckin'. Would love as well putting a shift in with you. ✊🏻
Love you, love your channel, thought you were a Mac man? Let's see some more McCullough
Absolute dream truck
Greetings from German Buckin .......
Buckin, do you know what you’re doing ? You do , don’tcha. Heehaw
Super cool Buckin’
Very nice work sir❤
I use a drag chain and a 1953 Ferguson tractor. Works a treat
You make us laugh. Thank you
love you guys
🪵❤️ much love!!
The 572 runs nice stk but porting really helps the bottom end power quite noticably 👍💪
Shame to see those nice sticks bucked into firewood, but was a nice size log to test that new saw.
A true professional
Just a hack 😂
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith very far from it most people have no clue how long it takes to get that kind of experience
I miss the old 60s trucks😢 my 68 power wagon
I like you. Do you know the channel “working horses with Jim” ? He likes his saws really sharp to and he knows how to use them.
That saw is superb… be great to see it with a different pipe on it and square ground chain… it’ll be a beast…
Oh yes indeed
Just think what ole Buckin' could do with a Chevy? He could be pulling em both at the same time full length while in 2 by!!😉
Rip snortin, rip sawin good time
I have the original manual and reciept on the saw. Was just over $400 back then which was a lot of money back then.
Great roll tech..hope the my hilux does as good as your ford.
I ran a 572 and I decided to go with the 372 I am just not a fan of the auto but I like the older saws
Absorb the universe✌🏼❤️🌎
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
YHWH BLESS.
Awesome saw
Thanks man! I do the same .
NICE VIDEO
That's gna be some dandy firewood rounds
THUMBS UP!!!
ITS A GOOD DEAL FOR FREEE TV
Hey Buckin! You still making custom axes? Looking to get a double bit chopper! I checked your website, but the axe request seems to be down.
hey there bud would like to see more of the sachs dolmar content,best regards.

are you running full comp to test the pull change with the pipe instead of skip tooth?
Great video Buckin I have a stock 572xp what is the biggest light bar I can run and not lose a lot of power have a great day.
Got one too, like to know the same thing! Currently running 24inch cause that is what the dealer said to be the max recommended length.

You have nicer wood where you're at. We have pine, gum, and chain eating live oaks here in South Carolina.
