Hope it made a huge thump !!! ill never forget my first big tree , rotten gnarly and next to my barn .. my adrenaline was pumping like crazy !! stay safe !!! 👍
Ewan what a beautiful smile, brought some tears to my eyes and I have never met you. That’s what this channel is , just a lot of love for one another and believe me you have touched our lives. Much love and prayers for you my friend 🙏♥️♥️
Just came in from doing firewood. THIS was the video I needed. Appreciate the slashing tips and Ewan, we're pulling for ya! Keep fighting and the Buckin' Army will fight along side you.
Billie, you must have tough skin walking through brambles and blackberry bushes. Those things go right through denim pants. I went through 1/4 mile of them one time that were over my head and have hated them since. My hats off to you. You have been a huge educator to many of us about power saws. Thank you very much. The best to you and your family. And to all on this site.
Just Love, Love,Love this video BBR! This is more the type of work that we might be doing in the UK, we don’t tend to have the huge fir trees that you have forests of. Slashing does build confidence with a saw because you have to learn to move more with it and as you said you need a tight chain when cutting multiple stems or the chain will spit off and trash your drive links! Thanks again for inspiring us, ( I’m a 1969 baby too!) 🤣
Hey, Buckin, went out to help somebody today after some hail damage. They had a damaged tree we took down. Thanks for the cutting lessons over the years. I dropped it safely, right where we wanted it.
Buckin’ you sir are an absolute legend and inspiration!!!! I may have not met you in this life but I feel I have at sometime. You give hope, inspiration and sunshine 😊 Thank you!!!
I did power line clearance for about 10 years. We called it mulching and it will test your grit. Good memories. You never fail to put a smile on my face!
Learn so much from your videos. You speak logger as fluently as I speak trucker. Every industry has its own jargon.. anyone in the respective industry wouldn't be insulted by the "you ain't a... Unless you've done...." Statement. If they are, perhaps they have a humbling on the horizon.
Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I have been going through shoulder issues as well I slipped on the ice and planted my shoulder into a concrete floor. Loving the content great video
Buddy just did the same, finally had surgery two weeks ago, they completely disabled his arm, they don't want him to move it at all. He said they told him 50% chance it gets better 😮. Have a great day, enjoy what you have as long as you have it 😀
I’ve been doing hydro slashing and fuel’s management some of the guys coming in on with there new 500i looking at me like im to little n week to run the bigger saws I run husqy 394 and 575 for my fire wood but for slashing and fuels management cutting the small stuff and the brush I use my stilhl 026 and ms 170 and guess who’s still got All the energy come friday I can do my personal cutting on the weekends and there all beat Thanks for all your great work and videos buckin My sharpening has come along way in the past few years.
Mr buckin your words of oh well are very wise sir when I was I had stage 3 hogkins lymphoma that's the only way threw strap on a smile and keep grinding days are rougher than others but I'm 34 now and still kickn love the channel hope all goes well with the young buck💪💪
I was just giving 2 old saws from the 70s . One is a poulan 250A and the other is a 245A . 50 years old roughly and I got the small one running today going to work on the bigger one tomorrow. I love old saws .
That brush looked like a job for a scythe. In fairness though I just bought one a couple days ago and everything looks like a job for it. "Kids! Get in here! Time for a haircut!"
You are so correct. I went from shop floor welder to manager and found the new roll was getting on top. I did some firewood cutting and splitting and felt revitalised. We do indeed need a healthy dose of hard work.
hi friend im a 67 year old man starting to chainsaw carve i have run saws in the past spent a year outside williams lake slashing still feel the pain but that experience helps me now great show lots of tips and help from you thank you
Wow thats unreal. Ive been pruning large and small Avocado trees here in New Zealand. I trained a young fellow up on his new stihl and i have at it on my 350 Husky. Just a slashin and a rippin it up. The best mulch of all for Avos.1000 trees later and at 67 yrs old there aint nothing thats not sore.Its hard yaka hey.Took us 3 months.What a lovely smile on young Ewans face. All the best to you man The best team on You Tube is right behind you. Regards Buckin ,nurse that shoulder.
I have quite a few 50cc saws that have 20"-24" bars on them .325 narrow kerf, with cannon super bars, they work nicely, my efco cs52, pawn shop buy runs 24" deep and keeps cutting, you can't push it but its still cutting fine, very impressive if you know how to do a good setup, i have many 60-70cc saws, couple 90cc saws, but at the end of the day my little saws are my favorite
Have a couple stihl 028-026, dolmar 5105, Efco345, stihl 170-180, stihl 290's to heavy but run good, stihl 270, husky 50-51-55, old dolmar that's in the 50cc range, 112 model i think, these are just all fun to use, my 038's are my favorite saws, and I have a 460 365-372-272, dolmar 6400-7300-7900, my favorite bigger saws, dolmar 9010 is what i cut my slab wood with ro heat my house, just got a swindura saw, older before they merged with echo, got a screaming deal on a echo 590, that little saw loves me, I took the stopper out of the hihg needle on the nicest 290 you ever seen, now I need to buy a new carb that wasn't even restricted so i can tune it properly, I love saws, most manly tool you can own, stay strong guys
Ewan, I’m sending you my strength and positivity. Three years ago I got what I believe to be the same news as you. I went through the treatment and am now living healthy and disease free. I made many changes in my life thanks to another RU-vidr named Dr. Berg. He has posted some very interesting videos and protocols used by people who have been sick like us. It’s changed my life. All my strength coming your way!
Absolutely love husqvarna saws, i was out clearing some new trails today with my smallest saw the 359, such a great saw for slashing. Also love my 365 and 372. Im going to start looking for a smaller saw. Can't have too many.
I used power saws exclusively for slashing up until a couple years ago when i learned to fall and buck, suddenly i realized i didnt know what i was doing even though i thought i knew how to run a saw, so it goes both ways haha. I went from 50cc home owner saws to a Stihl 461, to a husky 395 with a 42" bar for slabbing which ended up being used more for bucking giant fir and redwoods. Btw ive got my 5 and 8 year old boys swinging axes with me and just got a 1 1/4 pound axe head to build for my daughter ( shes 2 1/2 and loves saws and axes ) thanks to Vandiemen Handles from Tasmania who makes amazing handles. lots of inspiration from watching you!
Fun fact from Norway. The moast used chainsaw are at the size of 50cc. Husky og Sthil. The diffrence seems to me are tree size. 3fts trees are rearly logged. And a 15" bar too 20" are often enough. Even 2ft trees are reare. Wierd right? Jacop, mr Guitly of treeson was in Norway doing treework, and he noticed this fact. And im from Norway (sorry for my bad english) and look at you peaple with biga** trees. Love your channel Buckin' Billy Ray. Love from Norway 🇧🇻🇧🇻
I love that slashing kind of work. Here in Nova Scotia we have tons of those little Alders and small maples everywhere. I love to help friends whenever they need a hand clearing some of it up. Especially now that I have gotten a bit into porting, I smile more with every blip of the throttle
Hehehehe, so many times I've had to do this in the back of a trailer when our chipper broke down..... the worst......hawthorns. Or true honey locust. An old climbing saw works with a 16" bar too........
Maybe you should use a forestry clearing saw instead. Then you dont need one of them small saws 😉 I can really recommend the Husqvarna 545fr which is a "multi-tool", comes with sawblade, string trimmer and blade for heavier grass. It will let you "stand up and buck" instead. 👍
I had to do that same thing today in my front yard never have watching anyone do it before and I was swinging around my poulan wild thing like you are... thought I looked like a fool but guess I was doin it right😂😂 also had some fun with the machete at the end🫡
M hearing ya, im 55 and been catv lineman for 35yrs and feelin it but ill out work younger boys but now im bring the man to the mountain , thinkin smarter not workin harder
Shoulder and joint pain - ibuprophen every four hours helps me. Tylenol won’t do anything for this type of pain. Yanking those big saws will wear on your shoulders, elbows and wrists.
That looks like what I was doing with my brush cutter earlier on my Stihl weedwhacker. That might save your back. Eh, blackberries. Clearing out some land for a house. Got a buddy coming over with a skid steer, and delivering some top soil. My circular saw on a stick. lol
Personally i would use a scrubcutter for that, i used one on a big area of black nightshade and blackberry at work a few days ago, all cut close to the ground.
Buckin those are one of the best saws husky has made. I love mine! I’m curious to see the wrap handle set up. Is it a 357 wrap handle custom fit to the 346?
I built a Chainsaw starting tool for starting chainsaws with your leg, like a kickstarter type of device. I think It may be useful for someone with a hurt shoulder and still needs to start a chainsaw, any interest Buckin??👍 Thanks for your excellent instruction ❤💯🤠
Put 11 hours in today with a 20 in bar. Im in the midwest ill throw the 28 in on for stump once in awhile but usually dont run it alll day. And to Ewan keep your chin up. Your going to be stronger than ever. Nothing will stop you after this. Its what we do after the fact that matters! ✌️
Hell ya man I slashed 100 feet in off a road used for fire line. They needed us to clear it so they could burn it off. 100 feet in for Fifteen miles over a five day period, it was my first year as a sawyer on my crew and the begging of if my saw career. I get what your saying more than u would ever know bucking. A lot of it was like I was waving the bar like a metal detector trying to hit everyone’s ankles. For miiiiiles..
Hey Buckin I was wondering if you could help me out with finding a good all around axe. What axe would you say is good for splitting felling and bucking?
Mr Smith NOW I feel like we’re speaking the same language. When I say I run a 24” bar on my 372, it’s because when I put down a handful of birch trees in our thick under story, it looks exactly like your slash job there to limb them. Yup not that you’re all that concerned with what random internet fella is saying, but now we’re trackin together 😂.
Love your videos Buckin' Billy Ray. You and a friend at work are the reason I own a Husqvarna 550XP MK II with a 20" bar. I love the saw! I wanted to ask you whether you think that is a great all-around saw? I rarely use it for really big stuff and I feel it's also small and light enough to limb with. I couldn't imagine needing much more than that wicked little 50cc monster! God Bless buddy and thanks for the great content & love from OH USA
depends , might be great for you, and thats what matter ,, matters not what others think is a good all around saw , cause for me it is far to small as an all arounder
