Legendary Husqvarna 2100cd, first time fire up and bucking

Husqvarna 2100cd had a long standing run in the timber cutting game.

[@peterweikel7123]

at 56 my wife and i moved from south Texas to the Alaskan interior. i can tell my body isnt as glad to see the cold as my soul is but its been a lifetime getting here so we are not about to leave. and my husqvarnas and sthils are finally getting to work in the manner they were designed for

[@MrMarkpeggy]

It was great to see a brand new 2100. My brother ran one back when they first came out. Also awesome to see you and Scott together. You are both men of integrity that I admire. May God bless you guys.

[@llewmatthews4828]

I just bought a 2000 year husqvarna 372xp because of your channel. Best thing I ever did. It's amazing. I never knew 😅

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

That is awesome! Best saw

So many surprises in this video! 2100 CD Husqvarna, Scott from Essential Craftsman, I actually began watching his channel 5 or 6 years ago. He like you are a wealth of information when it comes to tools as well as how a man should live his life and treat others. Great video! And get well soon Ewan

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

[@mattroll1937]

That saw is awesome. Probably one of my favorite saws. I’ve got one and bought a bunch of parts going to build a few more. Those saws have crazy compression. The old saws are the best.

[@kknows3512]

I bought a new 2100 back around 1981-2 when I had a yarder strip to cut all log lengths. Nice spruce and white pine up to 60 inch DBH. My 045 Stihls just wouldn't quite pull a 36 inch bar and worked me too hard. Night and day difference! Only ran it about a week and went to running dozer full time. It sat in my garage for a couple years until I sold it. Wish I still had it now.

[@antoniomorgado5304]

O almost buy one. Great Saw.

Living in Wisconsin, its interesting what you said about the heat. We're about the same age, and I've noticed my tolerance for cold is different now. I think I prefer the heat now and don't know if I can live here all year.

Sounds exactly like my 2100. I have a 185 that I like just as much. Neither have had a ton of use. The 2100 spent about a half a winter in the bush and has been used for firewood ever since.

[@tatepazaski5488]

Hi Billy, Yes I would totally be interested in the muffle mods on the 572 for I have a brand new one never used that i will send in for mod. How do you compare your now fully modded 572 to your other huskies you have used in the past? I see you dawg down on the buck but at the same time I feel your monitoring or feathering the pressure applied. I have watched every video you have had made with the 572 including the Walker saw and listen, watch very closely to the saw and what chips its throwing. Where would you rank this saw Billy? I know there's different classes for the saws so I guess how would you rate against the 372 or one? Thanks for your time, Tate

[@davefran01]

That's the John Deere of chainsaws ! All the new stuff seems to rely on lots of RPM's Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5,252 the old large saws just had allot of torque. 😀

[@KeepingThingsOldschoo]

Awesome 👍

[@Matthew_Oden]

that old saw is awesome would be neat if possible to see an actual compression reading on it as well out of curiosity i have a jonsereds 49sp i got a couple of months back almost brand new off of ebay it was a one owner saw and it had a reading of 195 psi i have to roll it over a few times before i can get a good pull on it to start it and it's a lot smaller saw i'm guessing the husqvarna would be even higher being a bigger saw

[@ethanmiller3935]

Have you used that amsoil saber oil that Ripsaw gave you with your 500i, l believe? If so, what ratio did you run it at? I use that oil and really like it, love it doesn't smoke once the engine gets warmed up. Ran it @ 80:1 in my bought-new echo commercial equipment for a couple of years. But have switched to 50:1 because oil is cheap and motors arent. The motors all looked great, so it was nothing to do with the oil that I switched. And Amsoil will thank me for buying more oil!

[@tomv7552]

That 2100 Sou da awesome

[@blueridgemountainprepper2166]

500i's are dime a dozen as long as you got the $$$$ to buy it, NOS 2100's are not dime a dozen. Ok now i gotta get my 2100XP out and take her for a spin, she been up for years now. Just watched a Walker 2100 video got me itching to run her. Mines 404 also, ungoverned, so much compression i can barely crank it, i got 2 bad shoulders from my years of construction and multiple wrecks from racing karts, bikes, 4 wheelers and drag cars....

Hi Buckin sure would like to get ahold of one of those. Going Saturday to pick up 2 dolmar 7900 for a steal! And I'm pretty sure what he described he had also was an sp 125 sure hope so can't to find out

[@jeromebecigneul2911]

Always interested in hot rodding. Grew up in the muscle car era and hot rodded a number of them. It's interesting to see what you do to the exhaust on the power saws. Now, do you have to break in that 2100cd? From what I saw (almost a play on words) the 2100 did not seem to cruise thru the timbers you were cutting. Am I wrong? Also it has a very strange exhaust sound. Almost like it was going thru a can with a spring in it. I've never heard one of your saws sound like that. Of course I'm sure you'll be building a new header for that one also. Can't wait to see it run once you've done your magic to it.

[@Zimpan1996]

How would the channel look like if you would move to a warmer place during the winter? When you dont need firewood as much

[@RadDadMoody]

I would have traded the 500i away for a roll of toilet paper with 3 squares of 60 grit sand paper in the midst of a severe bowel movement.

[@juniorlazaro289]

Im the same honestly but I also cant handle too much heat I get too sluggish at times. I think here in Idaho we have the perfect weather

[@davidpugh6495]

Buckin, I think you’d miss the old wood stove during the colder months if you headed south for the winter.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

you speak truth

[@rileyjohnston8393]

Respectfully, I believe the reason the 572 is often compared to the 500i is that they are very similar in weight, and physical size (the 500i being slightly lighter) while the 500i also has a larger cc engine than the husky. Not trying to put the 572 down at all they are a very well made saw.

[@goinwheelin]

Absolutely beautiful. Chop chop chop then braap
