When all you run are huskies it's kind of a shock when you run a Stihl and you don't have that air injection. Just a few cuts and the filters are packed.

Great saw!!! I ran a 2100 in 1978, but bought a 380 CD. I liked Husqvarnas so much that I became a dealer for eight and a half years. I still think they are the best saws on the planet. I just added a 592 XP to my collection. Thanks for all the great videos. Shalom/gw P.S. My old 380 CD still runs like the day I bought it. ;-))

[@tomsommer54]

Hi G.A. What does the 572 cost? Also can you buy them modified?

[@paulmcreynolds1774]

Great looking saw Buckin. Can't wait to see that one running and in the wood.

Hey buckin I'm Robert . Been climbing now for about 30 years and have been in the iceage the whole time ...I love my saws and now that im older have time to slow down and start playing with them ..thank you so much for your channel..I use what I learn daily ..and couldn't have got some of the info anywhere else thank you .

[@Dyno625]

I’m anxious to see this big saw in the wood! What a beast!

[@logdog8920]

The first high powered saw I owned was a Husky 1100 CD. It was about 1976. What a wild cat. At that time there was nothing that would cut with it. Eventually Husky upgraded to the 2100. It was about the same 100cc saw. I ran these through the 1980, using around 2 gallons of gas a day. These saws were awsum for the times. But they were heavy and vibrated more than todays top dogs. At night my hands/arms would feel numb. But I loved those big Huskys.

[@justinweaver8107]

Definitely crazy heavy especially by 2days standards but they were boss of the woods❤

[@egwatts]

I loved the”errrooooommm” sound effect at 2:45 it brought a genuine sense of happiness to me. I do this with my kiddos often(who I miss dearly at the moment staying in a hotel for training away from family and my better half) Thank you so much for your message of kindness, it has truly made me to be a better human and changed my perspective of my finite existence on earth and helped me to better understand my purpose. From eastern PA all we can save is love brother. Ps from my five year old baby girl “if you’re gonna watch daddy shows can it be Buckin Billy Raw, or maybe the MeatEater guy?”

[@flatoutintop23]

Interesting to hear you mention the 500i air filter issues, I’ve experienced the same thing. I now put a smear of grease around the inside of the sealing surfaces where the filter sits over the intake to catch the dust, and on the hole where it sits over the quarter turn pole. I’d love to see you elaborate more about this in another video, as personally I really think they need to sort it and address it officially. A bit more exposure would help give Stihl the hurry-up please! 😁 Just following your point of older guys needing easier kit - I now almost exclusively use the Husqvarna 540iXP (with either 200X or 300 battery) 16” saw for ALL my processing of grounded timber! It’s so light, has plenty of power, and no vibration, no fumes and less noise! You can even fell with it easily as long as you don’t try and go nuts with the little dogs. Once the log gets to nearer full bar length or if I’m cross cutting big crotches I usually switch to the 500i. The 540i is a great saw for anyone who wants to give their hands and back an easier time! 🤙

[@ronhart2438]

Awesome 2100, owned 2 of the in late 80's and early 90's falling amoung other models like the 266 and 272. Always made me smile to hear the 2100 working hard.

Great work on the chanel growing mate! Been great to see it grow! I've ran the 500 3 years hard in Australian hard woods and dusty old red gums and stringy barks. Stock filter fully stock saw and it's worked day in day out from 1-35 degree weather rain including and it just keeps cutting hard. I run top quality oil and fuel in ally stuff witch helps but great to see everyone's take on the Saw! Keep safe mate!

Beautiful saw Buckin! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@normzilla44]

That thing is absolutely beautiful. I know there are smoother faster saws today, but IMO the 2100 was the best production Timber Falling saw ever built. They spared no expense building them, and the design way ahead of its time. That Cannon bard is the icing on the cake. I still use my 2101 on most my tree jobs. It's wearing a 50 inch Cannon these days. Awhile back on Craigslist there was a 2100 in the box, with all the manuals etc for 1,000 us. Either never fired or one test run .of I would have had the cash I would have bought it. Nice score Billy Ray!

[@johndeere365]

Being in the repair business, for 44 years now Bucky, I like new technology but I'm stuck with my old Husqvarna and a few old stihl,s , my choice to run with the Stihl ms500i would be a nice warmed up modified Husqvarna XP 390, as a certified repair technician, the new breed of chainsaws are short-lived even if you're really take care of them most of our tippers in this area and get four years out of a two or three thousand dollars saw

I bought a 2101 a couple of months ago. It is heavy but the feel in the hand is what makes me like is so much.

I always put a schmear of heavy grease under and inside my air filter. The grease will catch any dust that might sneak through the filter and be an indicator of trouble. As far as 500i vs whatever, I'll take tope of the line technology over just about anything when comparing machines of "equal" caliber. Great video.

Hi Billy. Greetings from Poland in Europe! Your Husqvarna looks almost identically to Polish Dolpima PS180 and Dolpima PS280. As I remember correctly Dolpima made these chainsaws (or as You call them powersaws) in cooperation with Husqvarna. Pistons and cylinders were made by Mahle. Generally speaking these powersaws were awesome. My father has been using his PS180 for 30 years and it is still working with a new piston.

Hey buckin I enjoy your videos have to tell you I bought a 2100 back in the 80 s is a brute in 1988 a hurricane came inland across the piedmont of North Carolina and blew down timber everywhere a friend asked me to log out his blow down which happened to be big prime red oak 30 plus inches tall and straight but it was all blown down hill with huge root balls ready to crush you so I measured off my log lengths cut from the top down and leave one log on the stump then I would stand it back up with my big articulated loader and cut it down like a tree. I thought I was pretty tough I was in my early thirties but I quit cutting at lunchtime on Friday bucking with the big 2100 wore me out. Also I had the starter handle pulled through my fingers many times compression. Still have the saw. Looking forward to seeing you run that one.a clarification I finished the job just to wore out by Friday afternoon to keep working made good money on that one but definitely earned it

I can help!!! Heres some good advice!! Buy a small saw. 261 50cc 10lbs would be awesome. Buy a falling saw 462 would be the best choice. IF you need bigger then that 661 would be awesome. Unfortunately STIHL makes 20 saws in the 13lb area and only 1 would be my top choice. 462. I just think its that good and man it screams. You can run a 20 inch bar on a 462 or a 32. There is not many saws that can do that. 72cc and 6hp at 13lbs... Thats a saw.... To give you a comparison. The 391 is heavier and has much Less power. I guess if you only have 500 600 to spend then I understand.
