Buckin, as a young man who works at a tree company while he's finding his way in life, I appreciate your willingness to share your wisdom. This can be a business where the bottom line means a lot, so there is not much time to slow down and teach the young buck. Your peace and kindheartedness has helped beyond just finding my way as I work in the industry, but also as I find my way as a young man. I know you get a ton of comments, but if you read mine, I want you to hear the "thank you" from the bottom of my heart.

Buckin' Billy Ray, I'm not a tree man but from your sincere reply to this young man, I commend you. I subscribed to your channel and like every video I watch. Continue on just as you are man
I don't have a tree service or fire wood service really but I dabble a bit with felling trees did a dead hickory today for a coworker's father 20" stump fell, bucked and split and I only allowed him to make a 40$ donation only reason I did take that donation was because he was getting emotional over me working free so it made him feel better. So yes I have learned from this channel and this man (buckin billy) on how to properly judge and fall trees like today's hollow hickory. Thank for taking the time to explain steps to us and give very valuable pointer and tips. Stay happy stay around be kind and help others . love to all friends and buckin army
I learned from a few amish fellows one year. i might pick up a few tips and tricks from bill and corey. I done a old damaged sassafras 5 months ago between a house fence and a garage for free
Thanks for the video! I've got 2 big standing dead Ontario hardwoods to take down for firewood. A maple and an ash. 4yrs of watching you I've built my way up to handle these safely. Many thanks Buck'in!
Buckin it certainly helps I know you have helped me avoid more than one potentially dangerous tree felling situation. When I get stuck I think what would Buckin do, and then deciede if I am capable of the same.
This video illustrates the best part of your talent Buckin. You don't lay down the law and say this is the best way to do this or that. You don't say the buck in way is the only way. This is a great sign of the person who knows their job and is a great teacher!!! I love the way you give tips and tricks and let the knowledge filter through. Deadly work!!!
Being watching the channel for years and it has become part of my daily routine and something that inspires me to do better. I started my own tree company partly due to your advice and information also have learned to look at the good side of people more and more, not bitchin about their faults and failings. Thanks Billy 👍👍👍.
Hey Buckin...I'm a rookie tree cutter (Northern NH) and only cut on my own back woods land where I can't hit much to create an insurance claim. Enjoy watching how well your equipment is so well tuned and sharp. You are the master of the saw and can direct the saw to do the work so well...even one handed. Thank for demonstrating how it can be done. God Bless!
I've been in the tree business for 30 years. Mostly climbing. I've just recently had a hip replaced and now needing the other done so I having been doing much climbing so I've had the time to watch your shows. I really like your shows and the way you explains how things work in this business I live in CA and just wanted to say if u ever need a hand on a big job I'd love to come up there and help you out. Keep up the good work and hope your days and weeks are blessed to the ft Fullest. Be safe
Incredible accuracy with felling that tree between the garden planter frames. No sign that you used lasers or high tech methods to do that either. Yes and kindness will improve our society. Thank you sir.
I really appreciate stuff like this Buckin! I’m working on learning as much as I can for my homestead. These are things I need to know and thank goodness you’re good at what you do and kind enough to share your knowledge. Thanks from Pennsylvania
There's another guy i watch (lets dig 18). He removes trees with his large Volvo excavator. He clears trees from sections for developers and he takes them out whole. A scoop either side of the tree and one in front, then pushes the tree over. He then lifts it and drops it shaking the dirt off the roots. Its always a pleasure watching your videos Billy. Ive learned more about felling trees than I need to know. LOL.
Great video.........I have been dropping and saw milling trees since age twelve ( I am now just two months from being 70 years old ).......Gary from ‘Woody’s sawmill, Michigan, U.S.A.
I started watching to see if I was brave enough to clear a few trees in my backyard ( having septic system installed). Realized that they mostly leaned towards house so had a crew do it. Continue to watch because we all need as many positive people in our lives as possible. I have a great family but nice to have you give positive reinforcement like you do. Thanks
This man is a legend with a saw. Seriously folks don't underestimate the skill involved here. That's like threading a needle while riding a bicycle. Much respect @Buckin' Billy Ray Smith.
Yeah Buckin brother that 72 is runnin good buddy love it. Wow Thomas Lili that is a beauty Jersey. Thank you Buckin. Great work on the trees with the hydrolic wedge.. thank you Buckin Army for the continued kindness. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓
Split a cord of wood today with a ax it was a wedge axe 5 pound it was easier too me then a 8 pound maul thanks buckin I never tried a axe you was the one that got me thinking about using a ax God bless from Michigan
U are the king buckin, Australia solutes the gr8 man, u learnt your Kraft in the bush and your knowledge is second to none . ...So calm under pressure, comes with experience.. Hail the king buckin..
Tom Lilli has sent me two axes. They are unbelievably gorgeous. He is truly a very special human and I appreciate him and his generosity. Thanks for the video Buckin. Everyone don't forget to be kind.
Not bad for his second day with a saw. Seriously though, really enjoy watching the skills so many people possess. Mr. Billy is like a surgeon with a chain saw. Yep, Be Kind brothers and sisters.
Good Morning Buckin', really good video. So true when you keep reminding us all to be KIND and when you are kind to others it comes back to you 10 fold. We have to teach our hearts to be kind and with a little bit of love and kindness our hearts changes for the better, and we learn to love each other and look past our differences. Loads of love and respect all the way from Cape Town South Africa.
No tree service here!!! I do however love to have good fire and it’s easier for me to cut my own wood than to buy it. Learning a lot from you thanks for taking the time to explain and show us some great how to’s !!! Bless you and yours and have a great one!!!
Buckin you are the man. You make it look like sitting down and eating a piece of pie. It’s just enjoyable to watch someone who knows what they’re doing. And I really appreciate your attitude. Enjoyed the video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Excellent Billy. Your hinges are perfect. I need to work on making mine as consistent. I always enjoy your vids. Thank you again for sharing your experience.
I'm not a tree cutter guy. I stumbled onto you channel for seating an axe. Honestly, I found all your friend stuff a bit much, but you came up in my suggestions, I gave you another try, and I honestly love it. It's so positive and nice, and I believe you're real. I actually feel better watching you. Plus it's fascinating to see your work. Not to mention I'll need some of these skills in a few years, but it'll just be smaller stuff for firewood.
You are truly one of a kind and also a true professional through and through cause u care about the environment so much and the forests =) & i have learned so many different way's of doing the techniques that have made so much sense so ty for showing me them.
There are tree men/women and then there are real tree men/women My wife says I talk too much then I showed her a few Buckin movies yes movies because thats what they are she then said Mr Smith out does me ???????? But and a very very big BUT at that I have learnet so much from this fella ... I am not a true tree man but I love me saws and I love me trees I am now retierd but cut grass and hedges etc for pocket money I have been asked on several occasions to do some tree felling and due to these vids I have taken them on. what this man has taught me is to ,stop, think, and go with whats right making sure you care about the customers land trees etc by following his advice and taking note of his skill I have now been complemented on the work I have done How good is that from a chap that worked in food all his life !!!! So Mr Smith you just keep talking for those that listen there is a mountain to learn for those that think they know better well just take care because these trees can bite back and when they do things can break including the human body !!! I think what I have seen today is probably the best tree felling excersise I have ever seen very quick very smooth very safe and to cap it all right on the dollar "WELL DONE AS ALWAYS" Stay Safe Stay Healthy from all tree lovers over the pond in the U.K. and a happy new year to all out friend over there LETS GO CUTTING " ONLY MANAGED CUTTING LETS NOT FORGET " Trees are the life of the planet but we do need to manage them do we not ???
Ya just keep on keepin on Buckin and I love it, something gets in your way ya go around it. I’m convinced that with your positive attitude that there just ain’t no mountain high enough. Rock on 🤘 brother your an inspiration to many. Bye for now love to all, kind regards from the land down under Jazza the junk man ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Good stuff buckin. You never want the teeth in the tree, always use the heel of the bucket to push. Pushing trees over with stump and all is very different than helping a tree man with a saw. Very gentlly nudge it and don't work against him
I remember how excited you were when you got to 1000 then 2000 subscribers & were talking about doing free tree work some day. It appears your dream is coming true! Love this channel!!
It's freakin incredible I love the Buckin channel All the folks here appreciate hard work of all kinds. Thanks to Buckin the world is slowly getting better. It's hard not to pay attention to bad stuff but Buckin makes it easier to get through the rough spots.
@@jirusjirus9322 I agree 100%. Just when it appears MOST people have gone bad I jump on this channel & read comments from great people & feel a bit better. Thanks to the Buckin army
I have a small miniature logging and milling operation Love this guy. I seem to see something informative every time I watch I’ve been working in the woods on and off fore years but all in the nw and Alaska. It’s a bit different here and I’m no brain box. Luca
Almost got smoked by a 32'' white pine a couple weeks ago. A multi headed behemoth. Tied it to the winch and pulled against the lean. Had 3 wedges in and I couldnt move em so had my partner start winching. I waited then started ticklin the hinge. All of a sudden it snapped and fell backwards on me. The winch basically pulled the stump forward. Ive been cutting for 15+ years. Life kinda flashed before me as the thing suspended in the air above me. All I could think of were my kids... But im still here to talk about it. When you get over confident shit happens.
Very nice work Buckin! Can't say I'm surprised but your tree wizardry has shined once again! Another awesome video Thanks for sharing and hope the buckin family is all doing well in this new year!
Thanks for all the videos my momma always said if you ain't got nothing good to say and then don't say it at all be kind and nice and respectful to others over and out mr. Buckin Billy
Hi, Just watched you for the first time and you reminded me of the late Fred Dibnah on how you went about your very fine skill as a Tree surgeon, Carry on the good work.
I own three saws and even after 20 years cutting still will not drop trees near houses, (targets as Buckin Billy Ray calls them.) Mind you our Big Eucalyptus trees have heads on them as big as a mid size cabin.
Hey a shout out to ya billy I love what you are doing . I HAVE DONE A BUNCH OF WHAT YOU DO .I HAVE DONE IT FOR 36 YEARS NUT I RETIERD OK GREAT JOB . I HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES AND VIDEOS TO PROVE IT .. LOVE IT MAN ...
Great shot ,right between the garden beds .I always thought ,what I was taught was a Humboldt or an upside down wedge gives a bit more control of the direction of fall.i liked using them ,where a would drop trees over a road way some times,just put a couple of old tyres to land the butt on.👌
new to your channel, great stuff. I've been doing tree work off & on most of my life and I think your methods are great. But I thought to myself as I was watching "I bet the comments will be filled with criticism of his techniques by people who have nothing better to do" and sure enough. Love your positive attitude!
Watching you sight your drop zone reminded me of when mom dropped 6 trees in our yard within 4 inches of her line every time! With an axe and a cross-cut saw. All 5 ft 2 of her! She was a woodsman daughter indeed.
In Germany we have something similar. But its not about maple trees, it's about ash trees. It's called the "Eschentriebsterben", so ash dieback. It is some kind of mushroom: Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. It infects the leaves and stops the photosynthesis slowly and the tree dies. In a few years there will be not much ash trees left in Germany. Some of the trees are immune against the mushroom. Hope it will not be the same in your beautiful country. Love your videos, great job!
Not a professional, I'm just a guy with a saw and tree climbers and help people out when I can (my dad got me started out that way very young). If the job is pass my skill set, I push the client to you PRO's. However, I really appreciate these videos and straight forward communication! Thanks friend. I also like your comments through the video :)
Billy that one you dropped between the gardens lol My first thought honestly was hey somebody left an old tree and put up some structure around it! Cool lay!
Looking forward to Monday and Tuesday, get 2 full possibly 3 days with my 461 and 880. Piles of logs and a tracked grapple skidsteer helper, buckin breakfast till dinner stackin piles for the truck..Whooohooo!!! Just Setup my 880 with unlimited coil and dual port muffler...load all the stuff tonight and out to the site in morning.
Really enjoyed the video! Your an encyclopedia of knowledge. Very kind of you to share it and help others out. Appreciate your positive message! Thanks, Doug D
Well....that was freakin awesome! A master a work. Holy cow was that a samurai tree fall. My goodness, I have never seen that type of precision. God bless ya Buckin
