FATHER AND SON GETTING FIREWOOD , McCULLOCH 610

[@farmallfilms2818]

I bought a Mac 610 for 15 bucks at a yard sale I didn't even know what a McCulloch chainsaw was but now its my favorite brand of chainsaw I love your videos buckin keep up the great videos

[@johnthacker5171]

Love the 610 had one for 37 years still cutting wood

[@maccolloch4872]

Buckin’ long time no contact but as I mostly run 610’s (& one 650) I can’t help but smile to see the little 610 in your skilled hands. What a joy l’m grinning ear to ear. Can’t wait to see how she does with the 28 on her. Keep the greatness coming!!!-Mac

[@danielp4507]

I just picked up a 610 pm. Took the carb apart cleaned it put some fresh fuel in and she runs like a top!

[@maccolloch4872]

@@danielp4507 I’m so excited for ya!!! Good luck with it. Be kind!!

[@spencermcginty9812]

The 610 actually surprised me! I know it’s not exactly your forte but the old girl still put a smile on your face!! Love to you and the family❤️

[@samjett7975]

Love spending time with my kids, especially outdoors. They're little now, but I can't wait till they can swing an axe too.

[@chipjr10]

I'm so glad to see Hogan helping you out with the firewood. My best memories of my dad was when we were cutting and splitting wood. Damn, I miss him so much! Great video as always, stay safe my friend!

Benjamin Franklins boys are doing fine thank you kind sir. Taught the boys how to dive crayfish and spear fish during their hollidays. They have caught their first crays and keeping wanting me to take them on their next dive. Wait till little Matthew finds out that uncle "Bucky Ray" asked about them.

[@dillgross6758]

one of McCulloch's best saws.. bought 4 of them for 25 bucks each.. reset the tuning.. gassed them up all of them fired from a cold start in under 6 pulls

[@jrmehaffey2484]

I started with a pm 650. I think it's the same as a 610 but has a hot carb on it... great saw.

[@donaldrobert6805]

Those pulp hooks work great been using them for years👍great video buckin

[@youngandtalented1]

Those wood hooks are pulp hooks, back east they used them to load pulp on the trucks, little harder to do that out here tho! Love you videos and someday I may have to order an axe off ya! Keep up the good work ole feller

[@daw162]

Dad ran two of those for probably 20 years between the two (never more than about 6 or 8 cords of cutting in a given year). Heavy saws and not fast, but he liked them - too heavy for me to run long when I was on the young side of teenage and bugging him to work under his supervision. I don't think they were expensive and they never really cost him much in service over the years. The exhaust on them makes them sound deep, and they have a funny ringing idle.

[@thenorthener6855]

Nice to see a father and son team! Nothing like having the kids along :) By the way, I'm in power saw mourning today...one of the guys who was with us on the clean up today, had to fall a 75' spruce leaning somewhat towards the powerline. He made the undercut at the wrong place, miscalculated the wind totally, the tree went down almost catching the powerline...it evaded the powerline, but not my trusty old 262...have never ever seen a powersaw as flattened as that thing, even the bar looks like a Z.. Haha!! Just glad no one got hurt.

[@SwedishAdrenalin]

TheNorthener may he rest in pieces then ;)

[@thenorthener6855]

I'm pretty sure it does...Haha!

[@landfillrat7286]

The 262 oh no sad to hear about your loss

It's just a thing...just glad no one were injured or worse. It was a good little saw though :)

Hi , loving your channel. I have just picked up a 610 and I have a 650 they’re great saws but it’s hard to find spare parts here in England.

[@mattk970]

Nice seeing a PM610. My dad has had one of these since the 80s. I remember it growing up and he still has it. Have seen him buck his fair of firewood with it and I have used it quite alot myself. Its a pretty good runner with a good chain of course.

Another great video buckin! Been watching u for a year or so now, love the content, im running stihls and husqys now but that pro mac 610 was my first saw about 15 years ago, keep the vids comming dude! 😁

[@tjlovesrachel]

Must be an earlier model without a chain brake? Because I have that same saw and it has a brake .... I love that saw with all my heart.... and yes the Oiler is super weird on that thing.... mine included thank god it has a manual thumb pump wish the new saws came with them

[@AuctionIndiana]

Bart Cornelius WELCOME! Great to have you along on the Buckin Billy Ray Experience!!!🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲💚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@claycarley9201]

Picked myself up an old PM 610 before finding your channel, Buckin. Glad I found your channel for sure. Had to rebuild that old 610, with a 610 Super piston & cylinder and of course threw a 28" McCulloch bar & chain on it. Love that saw and it's growl, it has the torque to get through a lot (surprises the Stihl guys here too). Has the silly large brake handle on it though which gets in the way of filling the oil. Interesting that mine came with dogs on both sides of the bar, and some have no dogs... I now have a Pro Mac 10-10 hanging in the garage waiting for a carb rebuild, and a bar & chain as well. Can't wait to run it!

[@danielp4507]

My 610 doesn't have dogs. Yet

[@boyse69]

Lovely day for it !!

[@walterrice4167]

Good little saws

[@bgsg2020]

Love to see this, I helped my dad get firewood and now my boys help me. Keep up the great work.

[@samuelwatkins5145]

So Glad to see you using the 610! These are the saws that I cut my teeth on with my Grandfather. Nothing like the 60-70's macs like you are used to but to me they were heaven! The smell of 2 stroke in the morning : ) He gave me a Mac timberbear, it was the newest model of the 610 before they stopped production. Has a much better chain brake handle on it. Pro tip on starting, the trigger safety on the handle is basically like a built in high idle. Its had to explain but if you pull the trigger a little and pull up on the spur on the top of the handle it will hold the throttle open a little. You might know this but it didn't look like it was engaged. Do that and choke it and it will start much faster. My olier does the exact same thing. have to pump it manual a few times before the auto kicks in. Love the videos Buckin! I was SO excited to see a 610 out!

[@Boyerblues]

Billy you need to get the boy a better vehicle! Maybe something old like the rest of the fleet!

[@jieg01]

That 610 seems to be a good little saw

I bought a hydraulic log splitter about 4 months BEFORE I found your channel. Makes me wanna take it back now! REAL men split by hand! Welcome friends, from KC

[@Jason-wc3fh]

Depends on the wood I think. I have plenty of gnarly crap and splintery wood that would NEVER split this easily. I used to split by hand and it got really tiring after so many years. Now I just love using the wood splitter.

[@NTLFarm]

@@Jason-wc3fh I had never used a hydraulic splitter but this season we got onto a new place. First 2 loads out of there were gnarly Australian grey box. Took me 2 weeks to split the first load. Bought a 30 ton splitter and took me 20 mins to split the 2nd load. REAL men in my opinion work smarter not harder

[@michaelcesario1158]

Lots of people bash the 610 and timberbear models, they are good saws but have weak oilers in my opinion they will outcut a 10-10. By the way Billy it looks like yours had a 10-10 clutch cover, I wish pin oak split that easy with a axe

[@johndunbar2393]

Gotta love the ole 610's! They're no 10-10 or Pro Mac 555 but, they will get the job done!

[@DMJ160]

Just curious, why do you say they are not a 10-10 or PM 555? I have 2 610's and a PM 700. 610's run strong with a 20 inch bar but the 700 with a 24 inch bar still much stronger in my opinion.

[@johndunbar2393]

@@DMJ160 Hey Dave! I have a half dozen 610's, a half dozen 10-10's, of different variants and a Pro Mac 555, and the 610's struggle to keep up with the smaller saws. I run 20 inch bars on my 610's as well, because they start struggling with anything over that. I've run a 24" skip tooth on them and they did OK. Nothing special. Now the 10-10's and my 555, they will pull 28 inch bars just fine. The 610's will not, I've tried it. They'll pull it, but they bog down VERY easy with the longer bars. So I should say, they will not pull longer bars as effective as the 10-10 or 555. My comment was more aimed towards where the company was at, at the time of when these saws were produced. The 610's came on line, after Black and Decker sold McCulloch, to a private company, which was the beginning of the end, of the legacy Robert McCulloch started. Most, if not all, (I'm not an expert on the McCulloch Corporation), of the 10-10's and the 555 were made back when Robert McCulloch still owned the company, or when Black and Decker owned them, and still believed in higher quality. After the private company bought them, they started with plastic parts, they were being made in Mexico, and the overall quality, just wasn't there, like the older, all metal saws. That's what I was getting at. I still like and use my 610's, they are just not up to the quality level of my 10-10's and 555. I will say, I'm hoping to get a 700 one of these days. I have a couple Stihl 461's, so I don't really have a use for a 70cc McCulloch, other than, just because. So that puts it down on the priority list a bit.

[@DMJ160]

@@johndunbar2393 Thank you for the info! It shows a "Power Mac 610" was made from 1978 -1985 and a "Super Pro Mac 610" 1985-1994 on www.acresinternet.com site. They look the same. I have seen some 610s' with a assembled in Mexico label on them.

[@DMJ160]

Ok, looks like Black & Decker bought it from Robert in 1974 then sold it to a private group in 1984

[@johndunbar2393]

@@DMJ160 Yep, Black and Decker had it for a decade. I know mine all have Pro Mac 610 on them and they were made in Mexico. Got me curious now Dave. I'll have to see if I can find anything showing the differences between the Power Mac and Pro Mac. I does seem some of that style started showing up in the Black and Decker era. Even the Pro Mac 650 was made from 78 to 85, if that site is 100% correct, and the picture is the same for it as well. So, I'm not real sure! Lol! I just know the 10-10's and 555's are a different animal, even though they give up a few cc's.

Cool saw! Do you happen to know much about the pro mac 655? That's the one I have from that lineup. It seems to be the oddball one as I can't find much info on it at all. I know the 650 was a factory hot rod as it has an extra port added to the piston. I assume the 655 is the same as myn is stock and super plucky!

[@chrisbreidenbaugh3697]

How much more wood would that be if it were split to “fireplace” size??? (Well it wouldn’t really be any more, but it would split to way more than a cord...)

[@CaliforniaCarpenter7]

I load a cord of quarter rounds into my truck, and when it's all split up I tend to get about 20% more than what I started with.

[@FishFind3000]

Be cool if there was a spot on the truck you could use a paint marker like under the hood and make marks for ever cord of wood you haul with it. Then when she bites the dust you can count it all up and see how much of the forest she has moved.

I've got 3 nice 610s I love. (actually 7 of them, 5 run good, 2 I'm sellin, 3 I'm keepin). Great saws if not a little heavy but great saws. You ever had issue with one if you tip it too far foward wanting to flood? Mine seem to do that. Think the oiler is biggest issue on these, it's a diaphragm type and eventually wears out. Ol Bob in NY sold me a couple new old stock ones but they are 20 years old already now too! haha. Don't know if I'll be able to use em much when those poop out unless I could make a new diaphragm out of somethin.

What is the gas/oil ratio you run in that Pro Mac 610? There is a lot of confusion and opinions for these old McCullochs. Thanks, Buster

[@DMJ160]

Buster, I went through the same confusion. Says with McCulloch oil 40:1 anything else...20:1. I find it hard to think there is a difference in McCulloch 2 cycle oil v.s. other brand 2 cycle oil. If I am correct? McCulloch didn't make oil just had their name on the container. 3.2 ounce of oil to 1 gallon gas gives you 40:1. I go 3.6 ounce to a gallon which gives 36:1. My run fine with that ratio. I get about 9 gallons of mixed fuel with a 1 quart container.
