PA cherry. Best firewood ever. Nice video. Really enjoy them.

[@Dfish2229]

That was like watching 2 drunk guys falling, only took dude in the back 1 arm to bring his boy down lol 👏👏👏 love watching you demonstrate basically the art form of felling trees. You Sir are a master of the trade 🤙

[@scottroberson2656]

Hey Buckin let’s give Harmless Farmer family a little lift up , That ol boy was a true champion ! Scotty - Kansas City

[@chriscaldwell1490]

Buckin thank you brother. Getting to finally meet you yesterday really meant a lot to me and my little boy. You are a good man and the positive energy you put out there is amazing. I could have sat there with you guys at the camper all day and shared stories and talked powersaws and life. I look forward to the next time we meet and I am glad you are getting to get into the wood in our area. Keep on being you Buckin, seriously thank you.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

great stuff

[@indianacornbread6407]

Thank you again Buckin for the saw! It really means a lot to me...and my family!

Looks like Buckin’ is having a great time south of the boarder!😂😂😂 that is a great thing

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

While i am sitting here in SE Texas, drinking a cold beer watching my favorite tree faller BBR Smith, i am amazed at your talent and knowledge of tree falling. You make me grin shake my head and say out loud dam Billie Ray is good. It is a pleasure to watch andy Master Craftsman at work. Just like Morgan, Iron man and the rest... lovein it Billie! Bear

[@kenmaedel4535]

Keep on buckin, Billy Ray!! Thought I'd share something I saw on a sign on the way home from work. "We all have 2 lives, the second one begins when we realize we only have one. "After many years working at jobs I didn't enjoy I'm working outside again. I may not be making enough money but I'm happy and I feel I'm a better person to be around. I'm making connections and having fun. Thank you for all the videos on sharpening saw chain. Makes running a power saw so much more enjoyable. Let's me get to what I really enjoy, the challenge of splitting wood! Thanks again brother 🙏 ✊️

[@christopherandkathrynmorro9357]

I love it Buckin shows up drops 3 trees in what looks like 10 min and then looks at Nick and says what do you want to do now….. I could help but chuckle. Love the channel

[@tee-steel.0158]

Buckin you have tough me so much about falling trees. Thank you so much. Saturday went to Paul Bunyan show. Sorry I missed you. After 6 hours drive walking around was a challenge. Some day I will meet you. Never thought playing in the woods with a chainsaw could be so much fun. God bless

[@paulgreco2188]

Snowing here in Marathon...nice way to have coffee before starting my day. Thank you.

[@tyler2burke619]

Thanks!

[@tyler2burke619]

@@MATT.MAN-PEACE-LOVE Definitely. Buckin has taught me a lot over the years. He’s the reason I took the leap of faith and started doing what I’m doing.

[@XIStEw13IX]

What!? Billy is in PA!? Awesome, I moved from WA back home to Western PA not long ago and have been cutting trees this whole time and watching your videos. I love watching them, great to see ya out here working with some of these trees.

[@neilarmsweak9084]

I recently bought a 5 acre property in Maine. 4 of the acres are full of downed trees, and trees that need to come down to make room for pasture. Went and got myself a Stihl Farmboss. Thought I was gonna dislike the work, turns out it’s really enjoyable, and now I’m watching these videos 17:31

[@johnarnettsways.8758]

Fine job buddy. Awesome work on the stumps. Love ya brother. ❤️🌲🪓👊🏻🙏🏻

[@troy9248]

I used to buck firewood to make money years ago as a younger lad , we recently got hit hard with Fiona on the east coast Canada , I pulled my 266 of the shelf after 20 plus years and started falling damaged trees and bucking them , then discovered your page,, my passion is back ,, cheers from the east coast my friend , love your videos !

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

Forgot I was on KZbin and thought I was at a poetry reading….because that was pure poetry you made with that chainsaw

[@tazman-kennyfuller]

Oh buddy workin up the hardwoods. Love it. Saws are runnin great and the smiles at Bunyan are priceless. Love ya brother. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓

[@e1ucas]

Hey Buckin' & Nick, such a pleasure meeting you for a hot second at Bunyan on Saturday in that little pavilion. Buckin', thanks again for all the wisdom you share on your channel. I feel like I'm falling, bucking, and splitting safer and more effectively from watching and listening to you. And without a doubt, I now know how to better hand-file a chain thanks to you. Oh, and you're absolutely dead-on about those Gripo hooks. It's been life-changing for me since I picked one up. Seriously like 90% less hand pain the day after I do a lot of moving or stacking. Nick, I hope your kitchen remodel is back on track and goes smoothly after your sanctioned Bunyan boodoggle. 🙂 Cheers!

[@NickPixelTV]

Lol thanks Ed ❤

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

right on eddy

[@basicinfo.9315]

You are so much fun to watch. Your attitude is contagious and that's what the world needs during these times. Thank you

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

welcome friend

[@happycamper6352]

I am from Western Pennsylvania originally. I still visit there about once a month, and almost every visit has me running saws and splitting firewood. It's maybe 80% maples, cherry, oaks, and ash. Then there's around 19% is a mix of poplar, locust, walnut, hickory, birch, beech, sycamore, or fruit trees. The remaining 1% is chestnut, elm, sassafras, random softwoods, hornbeam, ironwood, aspen, and others that I can't think of at the moment. To this day, working in tree service in WV and firewood in PA, I have never cut a cedar if you can believe it. I'm not quite sure why. They're around, but I've never had a reason to cut one. PA and WV hardwoods are fun to cut and make very useful products, whether lumber or firewood. They were great for childhood climbing and hanging swings, bird and bat houses, treehouses, and even zip lines. The hard maples make the best syrup. The autumn colors are Mother Nature's most grand works of art. It's a great region to live in if you have an interest in trees.

[@chad1755]

Wow that's a lot of diversity to those forests. Where we are in southern Ontario, on my dad's farm it's probably 70% maple, 10% willow, 10% oak. Used to have a lot of ash too, but those are all dead now.

[@happycamper6352]

@@chad1755 If you let a field turn to forest naturally in the area I described, it would be nearly 100% red (soft) maple, at least initially. Forests that have been left alone long, long term are very diversified, as are "managed" forests, but red maples can really take over if it's just an abandoned field. Luckily the woods where I'm describing have never not been woods according to the maps I was given when I was researching the area. Just like you said, the ash trees are nearly gone due to the emerald ash borer bugs.

[@jeffp4941]

Billy great to see ya in pa . We got some unique wood here brother . Love your channel and God Bless!

[@jasonelsey6158]

Absolutely amazing job....... every job you blows me away ...keep up the incredible videos cheers friend

Man I love fellin trees. It’s an art and there is just something about running a saw. Got roughly 200hrs on a saw but lately I haven’t got to do any work. Buckin helps me get to enjoy felling even if I’m not the one doing it 👍

great

Stihl helmet?! Stihl light bar?! Stihl 661 piston in a 86cc husky?! U feelin ok buckin? Hahaha waiting for iron horse to build u a wicked stihl and just send it to u! I like both brands. They both make good products. It's like ford vs chevy guys. It's all personal preference. I run a stihl and drive a chevy but i love ur channel and have learned alot from u. Not only about cuttin trees down. But life in general. Thanks buckin been following u since i think 2015 or 16. Peace, happiness, and love is the best drug!

That dead stuff you split first looked like elm. Cool to see the skidder log stump cut, I forgot the name of it. 😄 thanks for the vid.

[@roundhouseradio3588]

Hey Billy Ray! Love the videos, my father told me to watch your KZbin Channel while I'm not at work with him to learn more about being a Timberwright like him one day. Apparently only a handful of people do this stuff anymore and it's sad because it's insanely fun and an amazing way to make a living. Don't ever stop making these videos brother, this is an amazing art that needs to be saved from extinction. I wouldn't even call it a trade, this is art and it's worth every drip of sweat, soreness, the corns, the callouses, and the blood sometimes lol

Nick i have the same scar I received while cutting kindling for or coal furnace. Love what you and Buckin are doing. I,m from PA. myself Unionville👴

[@BoysInTheWoodsofPA]

It is nice to see you in my neighborhood Buckin, I live in north west PA. Also nice to see you recognize the firewood splitting is different here, this is splitting maul country in my humble opinion. If you get a chance, split some hickory or elm, you will say that maple splits fairly well then. Keep moving and my best to you friend.

[@SteveRogers370]

You guys were having a blast

[@southeastohiooutdoor]

Nick looks like he is mastering the flick

[@djhotshot67]

nick!!! buckin is a tree cutting wizard its hard to keep track of the falling Magic 🤣👍 awsome video. im going to spend some more time up in the woods with my production timber faller friend soon im looking forward to it🤙❤😁

[@pyroman6000]

Nice! Looks like a fun time. I was cutting a couple of short, but BIG Ash logs today. That was hard going. I thought it was my sharpening job- until i finally managed go get it cracked open. The grain on this butt looked like crumpled paper! Gnarly as hell, and tough as nails. I ended up.ripping 3 parallel cuts 2/3 of the way through, standing it back up.then splitting across them, 1 slab at a time. Worked like a charm! That qood will make killer firewood for my friend next summer!

[@johnmorse5617]

Hey Buckin ya had some 🍁 Maple with strings in it , I call them strings little Dutchman, because there tuff . Vary good splitting. Our hard Maple here when we are cutting cross knots ya can see sparks fly off the wood , the wood sucks up fine sand into the fibers . Great saw good job cutting . Be safe Love wins.

[@at_3831]

PA novice logger here I’m cutting quaking aspen right now but normally cut red oak white oak hard maple soft maple cherry ash hickory poplar cucumber black birch and beech mostly with hemlock red pine white pine larch and black locust. I’ve cut and hand split 4 dump trailer loads of hard maple and ash mix this month.

[@gcfwood742]

Great video BBR!!

[@tomsommer54]

Beautiful. I love the way that chainsaw powers through. I have the echo 400 and 590. No comparison but I do well with my saws. I always keep the chain sharp. I cut all hard wood here is Northwest Arkansas. Oaks, black walnut cherry pecan. I have my own sawmill Norwood hd36 v-2 with hydraulics so I need to constantly feed the mill. Great content here and thank you for the demos. I learned to cut trees from you and a couple others here on KZbin. If you ever make it down this way I would love to get some of the 8 to 10 foot logs from you.

[@patrickavondale8653]

Cheers from eastern pa

[@bradr9903]

I dont know how I missed this vid.... Must ya really come down here and take my work....? Im in South eastern Pa, but close enough...... HaHa just kidding. Its funny how you mentioned all the hardwoods here. When I first started watching your channel, I though to myself several times, that it looked like nothing but Pines up there.....lol. Keep up the good work Billy, Ive learned quite a few things from you. And yes, most people around here dont call until the trees are rotted and a liability.... haha. That silver maple was quite healthy compared.......lol.

[@bbarker5766]

I always wondered if you ever came south of the boarder. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to see ya in person. Loved this video! I've been cutting up locust trees and those things are very hard and burn forever. Used my saw that I square filed and UT ate it like grandma's dinner. Lol
