Pioneer p61, 98cc of vintage chainsaw goodness!!

[@mswcmms9956]

Hello tinman from Ireland, have a p60 here, lovely saws, the big pioneers 👍

[@TheBHoky]

I have a p51 with very low hours on it my dad bought it in 1980 after Mt St Helens erupted and sent a bunch of old growth down the Cowlitz to the Columbia river and he needed a saw big enough to cut that stuff. but after one season the farmer cut off river access on his land so we could no longer get to those big logs and the saw sat I inherited it about 15 years ago and just recently got it running. What a great saw That p61 sounds just like mine Love it.

[@My_internet_persona33]

What a beautiful machine. The torque on that thing is exceptional.

[@rogerford4427]

I can set all day and watch you work. 🥵 when I lived in Idaho as a kid, we had a chain saw and a ax. Cut and split all year round, to eat and stay worm. That was in the 50s. Stay safe 🤙

[@marcushaynes843]

That saw is a BEAST. It cuts through those logs like a hot knife through butter.

[@ozdatman]

Love the Pioneers. Good to see something other than the big 2 being used.

[@jasonmercer9962]

Who doesn’t love running a Big Pioneer, more Noodles then a Chinese Restaurant. Awesome Video!

[@jeremyjmailloux]

My old man was a Pioneer dealer. I learned to respect them at a young age. That being said, dad always had boxes of spare reeds in stock. Lots of P42's went through the shop. Pioneer had some neat saw designs and some wicked fast factory saws. When they went belly up it was nothing but Jonsered 670's at home except the 2094 with 48" bar that bucked logs on the landing until we got a slasher.

[@2naturesownplace]

Dried noodles of any maple, makes the best fire starter ever.

[@justinp7687]

Had fire wood like that a few years ago given to me huge knots had to rip it all multiple days multiple gallons of fuel. But it was free and lasted several years.

[@jjock3239]

My first chainsaw, was a Pioneer P25, that I bought new in 1973. I loved the saw for cutting firewood and clearing, but needed something bigger. I replaced it with a Stihl 051, and decided to sell the Pioneer. I regretted selling it, from the day after it left the property. I now have a P29, and a couple of the older Pioneers, an RA, and a 1750 (120 cc), but would like to have another Pioneer work saw like your P61. They are great saws, with a long history. I have done a fair amount of ripping, and that saw was cutting beautifully.

[@afleetcommand]

THAT is a very cool saw :) And this video and how your dealing with firewood looks really familiar. And I have a box of "lost and mis-fit chains" I toss in the ones I've been using logging that hit something and I don't feel like filing on the job. About five gallons worth, I use them for a lot of the "hobby saw" noodling especially in big maple where there are sure to be taps. :) Fun video, keep them coming! ( See your g288 is doing well , mine has HOURS of noodling time. Still going strong )

[@22ceedee]

I have this saw . the P61 as stated many times here truely is a beast , so much so it scares me at times . just the feel of all that raw power in your hands is humbling ! great to see you putting it through its paces .

[@b.nunn.2702]

Glad to see someone besides me dicing up blocks with a saw! I sometimes make those lengthwise cuts from the end of the log and then simply cut off the diced up pieces! That old Poulans Tuff!!

[@tdawg8605]

Cut, split and piled 6 cords already in the past two weeks. 4 more to go for me alone. And more to come. Beautiful day to be in the bush today. Wonderful saw that p61, a beast, to be certain. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

[@HairlipButcher]

It's nice having deer live on ur property with ya. First winter at my place we got like 3ft of wet heavy snow. I was on the roof shoveling snow and I looked out in the yard and there was over 30 deer just lookin up at me like hey what u got for us. I fed them enough wet cob that winter to fill up a 8ft truck bed with just empty bags. Now when they see me pull in the driveway they come haulin arse down the hill to see what I got the to throw down their yap. I'm just glad the elk dont come down. They r very very destructive!

[@martinburgess4814]

Glad everyone is doing great.What a great saw.All the best to you all.

[@rydplrs71]

That pioneer was really impressive. I was wondering about the 298 comparison. It ate up the 288. The saws I learned on had thumb oilers.

[@joelpaape8748]

Hope you save all that sawdust, good firestarter, those big chips should be easy to gather up!

[@brianmorrow6355]

Carbide tipped chains on a big displacement saw will go through the shingles papco firechain makes a good one

[@shelbywilson114]

Love the deer. I get the same thing. Including a couple 8 points. Whether sawing or splitting with the log splitter. They are used to it. So nice to hear your true happiness. Congratulations

[@nightowl7043]

Tinman I don't comment very often but love the channel and that pioneer is pretty awesome especially noodling with it definitely one of those no joke saws!!!

I remember buying a Poulan Pro 655 BP back around 90 or 91 new for $599. I really wish I had kept that one. These saws were scary powerful .

Yes I did to. There were nothing like it. That BP took care of business.

My whole 46 years of life I've heard and said that the best deer call is a chainsaw. Any weather or time of day, deer will come to the sound of filing the chain.

You should try that without felling dogs. Just a straight bumper to protect the tank.

[@SG-ig2th]

Always terrifies me to see a saw with no chain brake 😬😬. Sure do love that full wrap and those gnarly dogs!!

[@tinmanssaws]

That's the main reason I run short bars when ripping. Easier to keep track of the tip..

[@jkgkjgkijk]

Tragic mistake with your thumb position on that saw. (Left hand) Don't care how long you've been around saws--that's just plain scary. Roll that thumb under the top bar and lock on to it.

We have some red gum out here you have to rip. in a spliter it just pops in a bunch of small pieces.

[@rhysfirth3506]

Noodling away seems to be going around. @Dubbssawshop uploaded a video of noodling logs not that long ago. Personally if the pile is that big of gnarly stuff I'd be bonfiring, noodling is an occasional thing rather than a normal method of splitting. That curly maple must be a pain. None of your neighbours has a hydraulic splitter you can borrow for a day?

Question! What's your chain cutting angle set to when cutting timber following the wood grain? I hope my question makes sense

[@FishFind3000]

I leave my chain the same as if I’m cutting normal when I’m noodling.

[@tinmanssaws]

Same as a stock chain.. 25 degrees, not too much hook..the rakers were quite low in this video, but that bug saw pulls even the hungriest chain.

What kind of fuel in old saw…Av gas?

[@tinmanssaws]

Regular pump gas mixed at 45:1 in all my saws.

[@verleblazek417]

@@tinmanssaws I wonder if the regular gas (containing ethanol) is why your 562 runs lean/hot? It takes more volume of ethanol for a given supply of air. Some Shell locations sell ethanol-free premium fuel, and then I don’t buy the super expensive pre-mix. But, I have no first hand experience with the 562’s
