I'm gonna cut a tree down

a good size cedar tree had TO BE CUT DOWN

[@TheTorkerman]

I keep coming back to this one Buckin. Love it. Not many out there who could take something this big out with a bang, without having to rig the entire thing out. Its a great vid, and some first class tree work my friend 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦🇦🇺🇦🇺🇨🇦👍🏻👍🏻

[@customowing]

I enjoy watching you do a great job, love the sound of those Mac's. They don't sell them when I live here in the states, I used a old Mac clearing building lots, not clear cut, saved the good trees, they add to the property. One Mac was a 250 and ran like it was briggs powered, Just start it cutting and let it eat its way thru.it'll get it done. I like your be kind, lets keep it that way, lifes to short. That sure was one big tree and dropped right where you wanted to go, awesome.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

HEY RAYMOND THX PAL

[@mikerobinson8284]

Honestly you have probably forgotten more about tree felling than most guys will ever know in a lifetime. So grateful for you sharing your experiences with us. Amazing talent, some people write books to pass on a legacy you documenting on KZbin will forever insure others will have an amazing resource! Thank you again I can’t say it enough.

[@ImaLastUnicornLoser]

You're the Steve Irwin of treework, and I love it.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

ha ha thats great lol

[@oxusriver]

Never tire of watchin this one, always smile when buckin tries to help the tree over with a push of his hands as it falls LOL...

[@localcrew]

That vise was a sweet score! I tried to buy one like it at a yard sale last month. Marked $25.00 American. Offered fifteen. Woman said she couldn't take less than a hundred! I'm like "WTF?!! -- It's marked 25!!" Seems as if the gentle lady bought it at another yard/estate sale and forgot to remove the original price tag and was out to make some lucre at my expense. So I spun on my heel and left. Got a can of gas later and burned her house down. Just kidding. Did make me angry though. Great vid, Buckin! Keep 'em comin'!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

cheers pal will do

[@laurarosekrug777]

This 6 year-old video showed up on my KZbin Home Screen this morning. It’s so neat to hear you say this: 20:14 You ARE THERE now & will undoubtedly go to great places that you may have never thought possible! 👍🪓🪵☮️💙

[@hiebertgrant]

Had to do a double take when you said you were cutting a cedar.... in Cedar. I'm Cedar B.C. born and raised but I've been in the interior now for 35 years. It's good to see a Cedar boy doing well! Nice work on the tree too. I'm awaiting my portable mill so I'm doing the ol' KZbin tree falling, bucking, cutting binge watching stuff.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Hiebert Farm?

[@hiebertgrant]

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith that's the place! Dad's still there farming spuds. Next time you run down Quennell Rd. have a look at his maple. It's a brute!

[@reinhold83]

Woah what a guy couldn't have gone any better buckin your the man big thumbs up on that job

[@mr.mrs.pathfinder668]

Great video and awesome vice! I love a tool with a story. You making learning fun. Thanks for putting out the video. It's always a pleasure. Mrs. P

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thx for being greatful and sayin so ,, it makes it all that work worth it The P family,,, love to you all

[@jacklabloom635]

I have learned more watching your videos than all other tree cutters' videos combined. I am always amazed at how deep your front cut is into those big trees. And then how deep you have to cut from the back side before they will fall. Apparently, ten percent of the wood will still hold a tree up. I'm trying to learn enough so I am confident I can cut down two trees near my house. One leans toward the house. I have an old Poulan 16 inch chainsaw I bought back in 2002. I cut up a few trees, after the ice storm in 2008,. None were big, 16 inch max., and I didn't have to worry about them hitting anything but the ground. I don't know all the techniques to make a tree fall exactly where you want to so I have been watching your videos. Thanks for all the tips. You explain things well.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

RIGHT ON BROTHER , TAKE YER TIME

[@niagra898]

He always studies the terrain,and atmospheric conditions around him-it’s subtle but I just don’t see anyone else doing it like he does.He jokes his way through it-but make no mistake he doesn’t miss annnything.Crazy.

[@daviddahl4148]

Just found your channel last week been watching all weekend whenever I was home, great videos, and even greater attitude. Thanks for sharing.

Great work friend, on the tree and the video. I appreciate you givin' out the power saw info before you got to work, you should keep that up. Thanks for the video Mr.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thanks for sayin so

[@michaeldougfir9807]

A few of us are also interested in the forestry info behind what the job is. Otherwise it looks like you just go out and kill trees. I know better, but much of the public doesn't. Not really. Thanks, Big B!

[@stevencroon4308]

Now that was a sweet, new (old) vice. As a woodworker myself you will love that vice, I have an old one myself but it is a little brother to that one. Nice all the way around my friend. You can't be a full time youtuber or you won't be cutting any trees to show us. Can't have that can we. Keep on truckin Buckin.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

[@Crawlerjamie]

Wow nice job. I’m impressed you can call them exactly where you want. So much harder than it looks. I’ve just began falling dead standing trees in Alberta for firewood and boy it is much harder to make nice cuts than you make it look like.

[@gregtaylor8327]

[@ryanalbright6510]

[@thejackel1844]

Having a line in a tree during close quarters felling is a cheap insurance policy for sure !...

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

yip

[@fralin1966]

that was really cool man you slayed it !!!

[@Dimomult]

Good job. So brutal on thoes wedges though. lol

[@grgr4802]

THANK YOU

[@davidk.7264]

Thanks for another great video.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

yer welcome Dave

[@tomandrene]

Cool vid Buckin'...could almost smell the aroma here in Washington...think John was right I felt it fall. Good length for this one...just wanted to spend more time with that 850 right...go ahead admit it? OBTW I was trying to find a PM1000 cylinder like John about a year ago and got this cylinder, not a pm1000, and thought you might have a need for it. It's a MAHLE V 52ZN11 on one side of the cylinder and 340835 A W1 on the other. Has a compression release and is 2.02 in. dia. not sure what model it fits, its yours if you want it...or anyone else.

[@madhatte73]

if it's the same ID as a PM1000, it's probably from the earlier R40. That's a rare one.

[@tomandrene]

madhatte73 The IDs are different and the dia is smaller unfortunately. It looks like there may be a lot of Macs up Buckin's way...I may have to check out what I can find up there. I really do like these Macs...kinda like once you ride a Harley nothin' else compares.

[@larryguerrero8295]

This was bad a**!!!!! GOOD JOB!!!!! #TreeCuttingIsLife!!

[@larrybaker404]

[@angiepebernat6428]

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith 👋👋👋

[@Ravencroak]

awesome billy. i can smell it from here 😀

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

ya nice cutting wood

[@BOTAJELL]

I love ❤️ all your videos Brotha 💪👍👊✊️!! Love Axes and chainsaws and anything with motors! I have an old Mac chain saw like yours and it was my dads but now it's mine and I have taken care of her and got her going again but the only problem I have now is that I need a new coil for her! When the motor gets hot and if you turn her off and go to restart her up it when she's still warm she don't like to fire 🔥 back up unless she's cooled down completely! Carb is rebuilt and a crapy aftermarket fuel line set up is on her because I can not find a new original fuel line set up! It will do and she would be perfect if I got her a new ignition coil!! Do you know where I can get one ???? I will never get rid of her ! I don't care if I have to hang her on the ceiling and just look at her! But she just sounds so Bad Ass when Fired up just Braaaaaaapen away !! One mean bitch at full throttle for a 2stroke ⛽️⛽️👊! I think it sounds 🔊 better then my Harley Davidson Twin cam motor! I run AMSOIL Dominator oil mix on my Mc with Ethanol free 100 octane CAM2! What a sweet smelling exhaust she makes!! Zeeeaaaaahh!! 👍! I also just got a pretty cool hand forged Axe/Hatchet from Portugal 🇵🇹 and it says GAMA on the head. Pretty cool and feels so nice on the hand 🤚. I can show you if needed? The chainsaw and the Axe. I also have a Axe project that I would like your help with your recommendations! I will be starting out with a all new short Stihl Axe . I'd like to thin the handle a little and maybe put a better arch on the bottom so less chance of my hand 🤚 slipping and maybe take the new original paint off the head and putting a patina on her and some help on how to sharpen it and where to buy the best sharpening tool kits to own and use?? Thank you for your time!

[@jeffreyrubish347]

BOTAJELL welcome! Your Mcculloch enthusiasm is awesome!

[@Gwoko303]

Haha going back threw the archives well your in Mexico that vice you found if from my home town London ontario haha I will always think of that when I see it in your videos now

[@lenhowl]

That’s one big stick. And I will never understand why people give thumbs down on these vids.

[@bigbear3427]

so what happens with the tree you dropped ? who removes it , loving the cutting video .

[@meanjoegreen4925]

LOL , YEAH WE MAY HAVE TO BANG THIS GIRL NOW THATS GETTING INTO YOUR WORK . NICE JOB 1 HECK OF A TREE WHAT AND HOW DO YOU GET THE CLEAN UP DONE ? I THINKING YOU NEED A NICE BIG TRAILOR AND A TRACORT WITH A LOADER SO CAN PICK SOME OF THOSE LOGS UP & BRING HOME AS ALWAYS T.C. BE SAFE , & ALWAYS HAVE FUN BCOZ LIFE IS SHORT

[@zenongarnek7020]

It was a real shocker for me to read the title of this video! Next time, mate, give us a fair warning that you are going to cut a tree down, please? :-)

[@eldoradowoodcrafthobbies3888]

Enjoyeded that one; love to mill that one.

[@cynthiaherr9029]

Agreed they would be beautiful slabs..

[@snoozinghipo]

Great video!! You are very artistic in your style - very professional!! Three questions: Why did they want the tree down? How old was the tree? Can cider wood be used for anything apart from firewood?

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Thank you ,, they just bought the trailer and it had been topped and starting to break up fixing it wood of cost more than removal, 70 years old, cedar is mostly milled up and not used for firwood this wood was milled

[@snoozinghipo]

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith Ok, great the wood was milled, only 70 years old - must be a really fast grower like pine 🙂. Does topped mean the top new growth was dying off?

[@n3qdz]

So who got the stem? Who did the brush cleanup. Man hat tree would have made some awesome buckin sculpture, not to mention furniture

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

getting milled the fella takin the log is cleannin up

THANKS BUDDY

[@davidthorne6796]

Hey Buckin.... I see a 610 fer sale... what bar you gonna run ( length) with 3/8 chain on that saw ? Was that a good model to jump into (M) with? Let me know I gotta join the team! DirtBoy over and out!

[@kencraft4567]

omg that vise is a beaauty!

[@alsims8280]

Nice to see the chips boil out of the old Mac.

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

i've never seen a cedar more than 18" wide

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

wow!

[@lenhowl]

Always forget to ask why your under cut is on bottom and some guys have the slant on top? Makes more sense to me to have on bottom but here where I used to cut firewood we seldom used any undercuts unless the stick was fair size. Cheers

[@mikethompson5966]

always scribe birch!! had a large birch completely tailspin off the stump and land nowhere near where it should have becouse of the strong bark held on longer on one side. lucky it was a close call and not a boss call.
