You speak the truth about the Macs my friend. My old pro mac 700 wasn't running well so it's been on a shelf for a few wood cutting seasons now. After discovering your channel last month and watching some of your videos, I was motivated to get it out and tune it up last week. I miss running that old saw to buck logs into firewood. There's something about the feeling a person gets after working on something that is broken, and then being in the woods as the sun comes up, when you fire up the old Mac it smokes quite a bit until it's warm for about 30 seconds and you can feel the sun hitting your back with the cool fresh mountain air, the power of the Pro Mac 700 in your hands running like it was new as you rev it up and look around and the smoke looks like mist following a gentle breeze away from you and upward, Man that's a great feeling. I love that can set the Mac down and clear the slash away while limbing and it just idles like a saw should. The original McCulloch 20" bar that's on it has been hammered really hard over the years, so I've been looking at new bars. I was thinking about going to a 28" bar this season for that saw now that it's running good again. The timing of this video is absolutely perfect.

[@mercoldswfo]

That’s what it’s all about. I got 3 pro Mac 700 saws from my wife’s grandpa and kept one. Been kicking myself for selling the other 2 for $100 each ever since..

I’ve been going to shrinks for years and they unfortunately couldn’t really help me. One day Sergey , my Russsian friend told me about this channel soooo I’ve checked it out and haven’t looked back.

Off work because I might have Covid, spending my time watching chainsaw videos. I'm a second year apprentice carpenter who is helping a friend build a log house on 40 acres of raw land, so alot of chainsaw work will be involved preparing the site this summer for building next. Learning alot watching you videos and others, yours are the most fun to watch. Thanks for doing what you do. Love. Be kind.

Wow... Power to the rainbow. Used to go to rainbow gatherings in the forest here in Pennsylvania, and people would stay for weeks to clean it up, so you could barely tell that thousands of people just camped out for weeks. Sweat lodges, popcorn kitchen, main circle drumming. Alcohol and drugs are frowned upon. Rainbow gathering healing festival, many years, be kind.

[@jimf1007]

I'm a smaller guy. So I prefer a 036 or a 44 with a small 20"-22" bar opposed to a 28"-32" bar, mainly because of the weight to power ratio. I like a big power saw for bucking/felling, and a 026 for limbing. ((Stihl models only used for power reference))(I only know about stihl saw sizes)

"Everything Changes, With Everything That Changes" Truest Words I've Heard In A While...

[@keulator9422]

Hi Buckin. Good information again. I really like this kind of video. How about skip vs. full house on the same bar and same saw in different diameters of wood ? I guess that would show the advantages/disadvantages of each type of chain per application.

[@sydrider6023]

The exhaust chamber will change the power output curve of a two strokes engine. Can give more top end, can give more middle range power. Carburation will be affected and will need to be adjusted to get the “tuned exhaust” full potential.

Really like your videos. So what makes you such an expert, not being sarcastic you definitely know your stuff ham just curious where you learned it all. I myself have learned a great deal from ur videos hope you continue to make them. God bless and stay safe

[@patthesoundguy]

A little known thing about those particular chamber pipes from the pocket bikes. A lot of them are just all wrong in their design. It's correctable but if you don't know to look you'd never know why they don't work. The header pipes are just shoved into the chamber and welded with a ton of the header protruding into the chamber. This totally negates how an expansion chamber works. So to correct the problem and have the chamber do its thing the header and stinger must not stick into the chamber at all so you gently grind the welds and pull the header pipe out then trim the header, put it back in so it does not extend into the chamber and re weld. The header pipe length has a lot to do where the pipe comes on. Get that wrong and the pipe may have it's effective powerband too high or too low. I grafted one of those onto a Honda NC50 bike, I got the header too long and the pipe hit at much too high an rpm for the the bike to have any torque until I ran out of road. A properly designed chamber you can actually put your mouth to it and sing into it and when you hit the right frequency range you can feel the wind get sucked out of you. Hopefully this info will help anyone wanting to build a pipe of their own

[@kyleandrews1713]

[@rogerd943]

Good day from the great PNW. Been a damp summer so far. Nice bump side Ford btw. That straight stinger has gotta be screamer. WHAT??!! 2 stroke = power is in the pipe. My step son's got himself a nice little 10-10 Auto he got from his grandpa. Still has the bar cover with the retainer spring/clip.

[@dathvader82]

Buckin what would cause a saw to cut a U shape cut or a happy face cut?

[@rbtree]

Many things: bent bar, worn guide rails, improper sharpening---all angles need to be the same, saw chain dulled more on one side than the other.... those would be the main culprits.

[@bruceb3786]

LOVE the tuned exhaust . Damn !!!

[@wetonwet3655]

running a stock 261 didnt realize that it was underpowered for a 20 bar. the 20 is perfect for my back would like a 24 but again would need a bigger saw. i was wondering if a skip would help at all. i cut mostly pine and oak. Going to try one out and see how it goes. i love the 261 with a 16 but i feel it in my back.

[@dalerobertson7905]

Hey Buck'n, this is a non- related question in regards to your latest video. But when pulling on a tree (for ex. with a truck), can you pull so hard that you cause it to barber chair when felling it? Thanks. I enjoy your videos and your attitude is refreshing and an inspiration. Stay safe. And the best of me and mine to you and yours.

[@livewithnick]

Yes

[@ChippyOutdoors]

I would rather a balanced saw even if its long, my 038 ported magnum 18 inch vs 25 inch is the difference between balancing in the palm of your hand vs being power head heavy. Slower or faster speed is nice but balance is nicer but thar is just a preference for myself.

[@dyer2cycle]

..Hey, Somebody ought to do a comparison of Sprocket Nose VS Hard Nose bars as far as how much more power loss, chain life, etc. there is with a hard-nose bar...I know that hard-nose bars tend to be heavier, and are sensitive to chain tension, but they seem to be FAR more durable and stronger....

[@rbtree]

Agreed, but all I've ever run is sprocket nose bars. The sprockets rarely wear out, unless you're a novice cutter and use the saw carelessly.

I got a pro 10-10 automatic and it’s a beauty. It was sitting for 35 years. I got to to run and I have a bit more to do and it will be perfect. But the oil tank galet is no good because the saw doesn’t oil and I’ve try my best but I took it to someone who knows what they doing and I was wondering what size bar could go on it. It has a 16 inch bar but I was wondering if a 18 or a 20 inch bar would fit on it. You they McCulloch guy so I’m asking you

[@jeffreyrubish347]

18 or 20 would work on it.

[@ethanrossmann579]

Jeffrey Rubish thanks. I was gonna out a 20 inch bar in it. It has the stock 16 inch bar for it and it’s a bit small for what I’m doing. I just didn’t know it could handle a bigger bar. Then watched this and I though if o could put a bigger bar on it, it would make it better. Thank you. This comment section is really good. Very nice people and very helpful people.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

YEAH

[@hopkinstreeexperts759]

If you can hit max rippems you shouldn’t see a change in speed via bar length, but with the skip tooth in bigger wood, it allows less drag along the length. Letting the chain retain a faster speed without getting as gunned up, you know what I mean?? Like you ever finish a cut and find chips between your chain and guide bar? That’s my thought on it at least. Skip tooth in small wood cuts slower I believe, marginally, the saw is at max rippems and there isn’t enough drag to slow it at all really, so having extra cutters gets you a faster cut.

[@seanmichelson4291]

[@victoryfirst2878]

Billy, what are you going to do when they stop making Mcculloch saws??? The old time saws are the best for sure. They can never be duplicated remanufactured ever. But when it comes to the time at hand, eventually you will have to either make a saw from parts or make a choice on the top few manufactures that still make saws. Which saw make would you take ??? Good day to you Billy and friends too. VF
