I love it Buckin shows up drops 3 trees in what looks like 10 min and then looks at Nick and says what do you want to do now….. I could help but chuckle. Love the channel
That was like watching 2 drunk guys falling, only took dude in the back 1 arm to bring his boy down lol 👏👏👏 love watching you demonstrate basically the art form of felling trees. You Sir are a master of the trade 🤙
Buckin thank you brother. Getting to finally meet you yesterday really meant a lot to me and my little boy. You are a good man and the positive energy you put out there is amazing. I could have sat there with you guys at the camper all day and shared stories and talked powersaws and life. I look forward to the next time we meet and I am glad you are getting to get into the wood in our area. Keep on being you Buckin, seriously thank you.
I used to live in PA... could almost smell that cherry & maple & the leaves on the ground... So cool to meet Nick and see you guys cutting. LOVE & HUGS to all.
I recently bought a 5 acre property in Maine. 4 of the acres are full of downed trees, and trees that need to come down to make room for pasture. Went and got myself a Stihl Farmboss. Thought I was gonna dislike the work, turns out it’s really enjoyable, and now I’m watching these videos 17:31
While i am sitting here in SE Texas, drinking a cold beer watching my favorite tree faller BBR Smith, i am amazed at your talent and knowledge of tree falling. You make me grin shake my head and say out loud dam Billie Ray is good. It is a pleasure to watch andy Master Craftsman at work. Just like Morgan, Iron man and the rest... lovein it Billie! Bear
I am from Western Pennsylvania originally. I still visit there about once a month, and almost every visit has me running saws and splitting firewood. It's maybe 80% maples, cherry, oaks, and ash. Then there's around 19% is a mix of poplar, locust, walnut, hickory, birch, beech, sycamore, or fruit trees. The remaining 1% is chestnut, elm, sassafras, random softwoods, hornbeam, ironwood, aspen, and others that I can't think of at the moment. To this day, working in tree service in WV and firewood in PA, I have never cut a cedar if you can believe it. I'm not quite sure why. They're around, but I've never had a reason to cut one. PA and WV hardwoods are fun to cut and make very useful products, whether lumber or firewood. They were great for childhood climbing and hanging swings, bird and bat houses, treehouses, and even zip lines. The hard maples make the best syrup. The autumn colors are Mother Nature's most grand works of art. It's a great region to live in if you have an interest in trees.
Wow that's a lot of diversity to those forests. Where we are in southern Ontario, on my dad's farm it's probably 70% maple, 10% willow, 10% oak. Used to have a lot of ash too, but those are all dead now.
@@chad1755 If you let a field turn to forest naturally in the area I described, it would be nearly 100% red (soft) maple, at least initially. Forests that have been left alone long, long term are very diversified, as are "managed" forests, but red maples can really take over if it's just an abandoned field. Luckily the woods where I'm describing have never not been woods according to the maps I was given when I was researching the area. Just like you said, the ash trees are nearly gone due to the emerald ash borer bugs.
What!? Billy is in PA!? Awesome, I moved from WA back home to Western PA not long ago and have been cutting trees this whole time and watching your videos. I love watching them, great to see ya out here working with some of these trees.
Hey Buckin' & Nick, such a pleasure meeting you for a hot second at Bunyan on Saturday in that little pavilion. Buckin', thanks again for all the wisdom you share on your channel. I feel like I'm falling, bucking, and splitting safer and more effectively from watching and listening to you. And without a doubt, I now know how to better hand-file a chain thanks to you. Oh, and you're absolutely dead-on about those Gripo hooks. It's been life-changing for me since I picked one up. Seriously like 90% less hand pain the day after I do a lot of moving or stacking. Nick, I hope your kitchen remodel is back on track and goes smoothly after your sanctioned Bunyan boodoggle. 🙂 Cheers!
Buckin you have tough me so much about falling trees. Thank you so much. Saturday went to Paul Bunyan show. Sorry I missed you. After 6 hours drive walking around was a challenge. Some day I will meet you. Never thought playing in the woods with a chainsaw could be so much fun. God bless
Keep on buckin, Billy Ray!! Thought I'd share something I saw on a sign on the way home from work. "We all have 2 lives, the second one begins when we realize we only have one. "After many years working at jobs I didn't enjoy I'm working outside again. I may not be making enough money but I'm happy and I feel I'm a better person to be around. I'm making connections and having fun. Thank you for all the videos on sharpening saw chain. Makes running a power saw so much more enjoyable. Let's me get to what I really enjoy, the challenge of splitting wood! Thanks again brother 🙏 ✊️
what a nice saw, high and low great explanation, herd of it but now i got it, that maple dry like that is tough splitting, the chery green a little better , nice ax work good cuttin , time to go get a load
Been watching you a long time and never comment before. I have learned alot from you and I think it is really cool that you were only 15mints from my house that's Cool.thanks again for all your knowledge. From the tree Bear
I used to buck firewood to make money years ago as a younger lad , we recently got hit hard with Fiona on the east coast Canada , I pulled my 266 of the shelf after 20 plus years and started falling damaged trees and bucking them , then discovered your page,, my passion is back ,, cheers from the east coast my friend , love your videos !
Stihl helmet?! Stihl light bar?! Stihl 661 piston in a 86cc husky?! U feelin ok buckin? Hahaha waiting for iron horse to build u a wicked stihl and just send it to u! I like both brands. They both make good products. It's like ford vs chevy guys. It's all personal preference. I run a stihl and drive a chevy but i love ur channel and have learned alot from u. Not only about cuttin trees down. But life in general. Thanks buckin been following u since i think 2015 or 16. Peace, happiness, and love is the best drug!
I’ve been away from the channel for a couple months Buckin’, hope you and the family are doing well. I am bummed to know you were so close and I missed you! My whole family is from Elk County, PA. Hopefully, I can catch you next time you’re local!!! Much love brother!!
Thanks for showin the good folks in the east you can get a tree down w/something other than a short bar that you have run round & round tree to fell it. Good watch
Man I love fellin trees. It’s an art and there is just something about running a saw. Got roughly 200hrs on a saw but lately I haven’t got to do any work. Buckin helps me get to enjoy felling even if I’m not the one doing it 👍
Gotta thank you for getting out and meeting your fans💪It’s no ez task! I can see that! Was so much fun watching you bring so many smiles to people including myself. Again thanks for you🙏 love ya friend
We have a huge amount of dead Elm here in the UK, and when they've been standing for some time they go like concrete. Good test for any powersaw. Great video. Take care.
Oh man, I wish could’ve ran into to you Billy! I’m from south western Pa. As well as the tree outfit that I work for. Great video! Thanks so much for sharing!
Great video Buckin, it was a pleasure meeting you and Nick at Bunyan. Hoping you would get a video up of Saturday. Have a safe and good trip back to your family. Love you Buckin' Billy
It is nice to see you in my neighborhood Buckin, I live in north west PA. Also nice to see you recognize the firewood splitting is different here, this is splitting maul country in my humble opinion. If you get a chance, split some hickory or elm, you will say that maple splits fairly well then. Keep moving and my best to you friend.
I dont know how I missed this vid.... Must ya really come down here and take my work....? Im in South eastern Pa, but close enough...... HaHa just kidding. Its funny how you mentioned all the hardwoods here. When I first started watching your channel, I though to myself several times, that it looked like nothing but Pines up there.....lol. Keep up the good work Billy, Ive learned quite a few things from you. And yes, most people around here dont call until the trees are rotted and a liability.... haha. That silver maple was quite healthy compared.......lol.
Hey Buckin ya had some 🍁 Maple with strings in it , I call them strings little Dutchman, because there tuff . Vary good splitting. Our hard Maple here when we are cutting cross knots ya can see sparks fly off the wood , the wood sucks up fine sand into the fibers . Great saw good job cutting . Be safe Love wins.
Hey Billy Ray! Love the videos, my father told me to watch your RU-vid Channel while I'm not at work with him to learn more about being a Timberwright like him one day. Apparently only a handful of people do this stuff anymore and it's sad because it's insanely fun and an amazing way to make a living. Don't ever stop making these videos brother, this is an amazing art that needs to be saved from extinction. I wouldn't even call it a trade, this is art and it's worth every drip of sweat, soreness, the corns, the callouses, and the blood sometimes lol
PA novice logger here I’m cutting quaking aspen right now but normally cut red oak white oak hard maple soft maple cherry ash hickory poplar cucumber black birch and beech mostly with hemlock red pine white pine larch and black locust. I’ve cut and hand split 4 dump trailer loads of hard maple and ash mix this month.
Awesome 👌 had some wicked hard cherry I believe, was super hard to cut seemed like every cut was going against the grain and super stringy, burns great though. 👍
Nice! Looks like a fun time. I was cutting a couple of short, but BIG Ash logs today. That was hard going. I thought it was my sharpening job- until i finally managed go get it cracked open. The grain on this butt looked like crumpled paper! Gnarly as hell, and tough as nails. I ended up.ripping 3 parallel cuts 2/3 of the way through, standing it back up.then splitting across them, 1 slab at a time. Worked like a charm! That qood will make killer firewood for my friend next summer!
nick!!! buckin is a tree cutting wizard its hard to keep track of the falling Magic 🤣👍 awsome video. im going to spend some more time up in the woods with my production timber faller friend soon im looking forward to it🤙❤😁
Beautiful. I love the way that chainsaw powers through. I have the echo 400 and 590. No comparison but I do well with my saws. I always keep the chain sharp. I cut all hard wood here is Northwest Arkansas. Oaks, black walnut cherry pecan. I have my own sawmill Norwood hd36 v-2 with hydraulics so I need to constantly feed the mill. Great content here and thank you for the demos. I learned to cut trees from you and a couple others here on RU-vid. If you ever make it down this way I would love to get some of the 8 to 10 foot logs from you.
