[@kentogreeno]

Hey Buckin, I wanna thank you. I’m in college and I’ve been having anxiety about the finals this week. I started watching this video and it relaxed me so much.

[@hickshickory3482]

Buckin I’ve been cutting for twenty years and I literally am not just saying this I learn from you every single day! Watching you cut and how u let that strap hold that tree til just the right moment you wanted and the cutting was done is pure expertise!!! I could watch u all day everyday…. Wait I do !!! Love ya brother

[@rugerfarming5387]

Buckin i watched this years ago but had to watch it again. It was close to home for me. Had to see Buckin cutting in the Midwest Hardwoods. Love the smile buddy. Keep up the postive look on life.

[@sawsurgeon]

Howdy neighbor. Just a little North of you here in The South of Michigan. Funny seeing a 2 day old comment on a 5yr old video. I stumbled onto it again as well. Billy is a pleasure to work with. Although he’s a mover and a shaker once the saws are running, he invests the time to make sure everyone on his team is up to speed with equipment and comprehension of the task ahead. Bless’ns to ya, Tedd

[@mattsfirewoodvideos738]

Very experienced with a saw and I love how you walk us thru how and why you cut the way your cutting in certain circumstances thanks brother this is what it's all about spreading love and knowledge

[@thomask6307]

Ya, that was relaxing to watch,,,,,, I did learn some things........ Hello everyone,,,,,, Peace.

[@mehmetakif2975]

On this job you do not have a rival on KZbin you number one.I like your videos very much

[@woodsweezell7596]

Your ability to take down trees and to put them right where you want them is amazing!!!

[@jeromewalton8997]

Hey all! Someone on a different channel mentioned you in a comment, can’t remember which one, about how I had to watch your chain sharpening vid. Glad I did!! Positivity, professional and fun! I’m watching...

[@outbackcountry512]

I'm here after long day doing small things out in the shed today , and this is so enjoying watching you fell trees and share your knowledge , talk about peaceful listen to the hummus if the saw , still got taste of Two Stroke in my mouth Lol from working on my outboards and cranking them up for start if fishing season , as well cranking up my saws for first trip in the woods in over two months to trim out some trapping lines over the spring .

[@christophercollins3460]

Thank you Billy, for sharing your thoughts while in the cut and when felling with wind that could potentially influence the direction. It's good to hear you explain the reasons on your back cut so tree didn't set back on bar. Thank you Buckin 😊

[@bhavadasaacbsp3274]

Thanks, Buckin. I’ve learned volumes from your videos! When I look back and see the many mistakes I’ve made through the years, I can’ believe I didn’t get seriously hurt or killed! I tell my various friends, who use wood in Winter, to take a look at your videos to see how it’s actually supposed to be done. And the icing on the cake is your clear appreciation of God’s presence in your life, and your various inspirational statements!

[@timblankemship9698]

I learn more watching you!!! You are the wood man..

[@gerardmolaison1734]

Thanks for the lesson, for when I'm cutting and it's really windy out. I appreciate it!

[@stihl0903]

Nice work with the 461 especially with unfavorable wind blowing.Job very well done.

[@ericrussell497]

Another great video billy!! I’m a landscaper from Maine, up in the north country ;). We do mostly mowing/clean ups, but there’s also some tree cutting, and boy have I learned a lot from watching your content. You see, years ago (2012), I was humbled, greatly, by a serious work injury, something I know you’ve gone through as well. We were cleaning up leaves on a job site, we were using a Little Wonder leaf vacuum attached to the back of the truck, that’s what we used to suck up our leaf piles. Long story short, a guy on the crew (not me), clogged the intake hose, and took it off to clean it out, his error was leaving the machine ON, it was on low idle, but on nonetheless. I was raking somethings towards the truck and basically walked right into the running leaf vacuum, it caught my left glove and sucked me in. I got COMPLACENT and put my guard down, if I had been more careful it wouldn’t have happened. My arm was all twisted up inside it, luckily my arm clogged the machine and shut it off before it killed me. But as unlucky as I was, I was also lucky, GOD was with me that day. The rescue crew cut up the machine and actually managed to get my arm/hand out in one piece!!!! After that, a couple of AMAZING surgeons and 11 surgeries, I still have my left arm and hand today :). I’ve lost a lot of movement, and it’ll never be the same, but I still have it, I’m WHOLE, and back landscaping. NEVER GIVE UP friends, we have as amazing community here, and it’s still growing!! Billy, your an inspiration, and I can tell “safety” is important to you, and that holds a real special place in my heart. So to all my fellow Soldiers of Kindness, you’re all good people, so we want you all to stay happy and safe, you can never be too careful, the heavy equipment we use is very unforgiving, never forget that LOVE TO YOU ALL

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

Good luck to you.

[@lilaboys4257]

Love the content! It’s fun to watch how everyone does things a little different. I’m so used to stumping low so I can skid log . Hope everyone is having a great start to the week!

[@jeremybuchanan4759]

"We're gonna try one against the wind." ... now you have my attention!

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

Great stuff Billy! I'm glad you made it home safe and sound :-) Have a great week my friend.

[@train1962]

I see Red Oak,White Oak and the dead ones are Ash.It's a shame what the Ash Borer Beetle has done to all of the Ash trees.I think the tree at the 18 minute mark was a Cherry (wonderful wood). I enjoyed seeing you cut the trees in Indiana and the challenges that you faced.I have 40 acres of woods in Northern Kentucky with virtually the same tree species.I don't fall big timber but seeing fence wire,saplings throwing chains,trunks wanting to pinch bars and chips that aren't always huge coming off the saw tells me that what I experience cutting the same wood is pretty much normal and I'm doing ok with my sawing skills.I think our wood around here works on a chain pretty good and having extras to swap out is the way to go.I grind mine afterwards instead of filing in the field.

[@timidater4803]

seems weird to see Buckin in corn country!!!! great video!!

[@boomer_bob6493]

You can tell your'e not comfortable with that saw mate, a lot of those cuts were definitely not up to your usual standard. But even after over 30 years of cutting I have still learnt a lot from many of your videos. I have said it before and will say it again would love to get you and your family out here to Aus and let you loose on some of our Aussie hard woods.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

LIKE MY HUSKYS,,NO RAKER GAUGE , NOT USE TO ALL THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS AND THE 40 MILE ANHOUR WIND MADE FOR SOME EXCITEMENT HAHAHAHAHA

[@cynthiaherr9029]

I've heard many people around here say "there's notta tree co. in this area that will cut a tree when it's windy" , after watching you do it,the truth is ""They don't know HOW..that's why"" The truth will set them free..lol I admit I was on the edge of my seat but once you explained it as the wind pushing it a different direction,it makes logical sense..Keep up the great job my friend..Take Care and *Welcome to the New Soldier's of Kindness* ..Be safe friend's

Yep even new chains need sharpen sometimes

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

OH YA IT WAS NOT THAT SHARP ON SOME OF THESE CUTS

[@Andyshine77]

drew Douglas Some of the new chains I've had recently were a mess out of the box, depth gauges were too tall and unequal length teeth, they wouldn't cut butter.

[@larry323]

Buckin the content in your last couple videos is what drew me to your channel. Keep up the good work. Peace to all that come here. P.S. I think it was the Indiana hard wood not the saw. Just saying. Lar

[@kavemanthewoodbutcher]

Over 3,000 videos, and every one teaches or reiterates a valuable lesson. A stand out here was : "Son, this thing is DEAD, keep your head up!" Can't say or hear that too many times. The kerf won't kill you, the crown will, sure as taxes. Excepting barber chair of course.

[@deanmoore420]

Nice job cutting up the trees 👍

[@thenorthener6855]

Sweet footage!! Those trees sure did fall like a house of cards, even with a new and unfamiliar saw...I'd bet you missed your 372s...or the Macs :) Hope all of you guys , girls, women and children will have a great week to come...be kind and take care of each other :)

[@jacobsmith9041]

I enjoyed this one buckin I live in north central indiana and heat solely with firewood and fell a lot of trees. I never knew this video was out there. I always wandered what you would think of dropping trees in indiana. Oh and the wind just another day felling trees in indiana lol. Once and awhile I gotta call it quits the wind picks up so much

[@loadeddog8015]

Welcome all the smart people who gave the sub button a poke..... enjoy all the upcoming content, it's gonna be WICKED.....buckin showing em how it's done, even without his weapons of choice...take care everyone , keep safe , Monday is underway here....love❤️ n hugs🐨for mama buckin 💐...😎👍🇦🇺

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

IT WAS DIFFERENT PAL LITTLE SLOWER CUTTING

[@johngrossbohlin7582]

That 461 is new isn't it? After about 10 tanks of fuel mine was noticeably better running and had more power... I use 93 octane gas, with no ethanal, and synthetic mix oil. It runs clean and reliably and with a 25" bar for falling and bucking is well balanced. I suspect 32" is a bit much bar for that powerhead if it is sunk dog deep in a hard wood... MS 661 time if you really need a 32" bar!

[@FishFind3000]

John Grossbohlin yea, long bar and no break in will make it run like shit.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

I CHOSE TO LEAVE MY TOOLS AT HOME SO I COULDNT COMPLAIN ,, I AM ALSO NOT USE TO STOCK POWER SAWS

[@johngrossbohlin7582]

Yes Sir, familiarity matters! It is always preferable to use tools with which you are familiar and comfortable... Saws and most other tools really do feel different whether they be gas, electric, or meat (i.e., muscle) powered!

[@johngrossbohlin7582]

I've found that what I cut has a large impact on how much bar I can use... pine and hemlock (dead or alive) are a lot easier to cut than dead white oak or cherry! I've been cutting a lot of ash, cherry, and white oak snags and fallen trees and my 25" bar tackles them just fine. Some of those dead white oak seemed like they were really cast iron!

[@killaquarryservices3065]

Hi glad to read your comments as I recently purchased two new saws 461/362 to replace older sthil saws and I’m looking forward to 461starting to pull out a bit so I can put the 25” bar back on,I’m running 20”on old hardwood in Devon, England

[@Andyshine77]

Those little ones can flip a chain off asap. Liked the explanation on how you were utilizing the wind, I'll try and keep that one in the old memory bank. Think I saw an old Black Cherry in there, beautiful wood if the Hart isn't punky, which they always seem to be. Keep on buckin' brother!

[@Minimonta19]

Great video as always buckin. Love the dual angle with someone else recording you! Would love to see some more of that.

[@AuctionIndiana]

Mini Moto Buckin needs one of those drones that follow ya around from a set distance...lol , although in those windy conditions i doubt it would have worked, 30-40 mph winds that day!!! Be Happy Be Joyful Be Kind!

The grade in those hardwoods is in the stumps...i would get run off cutting hardwood stumps that high...i run 461 but 24 bar cut around both sides and release...westcoasters and there long bars...good job buckin....

[@kipmyers5897]

Why use a 32 bar on such small trees...???? Not being smart id like to know the reason

[@robertstefaniak1055]

Looks like its throwing a bit of dust billy

[@chuck805]

Hey Buckin, I noticed your chain came off, why? I've seen it happen just a couple times and thought I'd ask. You're never too old to learn. Thanks and be safe and keep moving.

MORE COMMON ON LONGER BARS ,I RUN MY CHAIN LOOSER THAN THE NEXT FELLA AS WELL AND USUALLY SMALL MATERIAL CAN FLICK IT OF WHEN SWINGIN' IT

[@intothewild2345]

[@diywithjonandpebbles]

this was very difficult to run for me as i am used to ported saws,, 461 is a good saw ported

[@jakewalden771]

Hey Buckin’. where did you buy the pouch that you were wearing in this video to hold your wedges

[@mercoldswfo]

Really good footage. What becomes of all the tops? Does it get used for firewood or just leave it behind for nature to take its course? Keep up the content, I have been binge watching after work. Lol don't even watch tv anymore.

[@erichusqvansonswanson7955]

Why didn't you find a husky dealer?! Lol. That 461 will wake up after a while. They usually always do. A little hop up and a 3/4 wrap and they rip pretty good to be honest. Have 2 of em and like em both But I've got 660s, 372xps, 390, 044s, 036(my favorite) etc etc. im not saw prejudice aslong as it pulls chain well. Hope all is well buckin. Hello from Washington state

[@erichusqvansonswanson7955]

I have a ms460 as well and it's definitely a preferred choice over a 461 but it's totally hopped. Bigbore, timing, etc

[@jeremypersson8112]

Can't blame the saw " you know that lol" beautiful saw apsollutly beautiful BUT if you ain't got a chain that's filed to the wood it sucks big time. Hope you had fun billy

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

INDEED

[@FishFind3000]

Jeremy Persson yea, everybody’s got a preference, if he’s been doing it this long and doesn’t have any bigger Stihl saws there just not for him.

[@Factotum71]

Is buckin actually wearing gloves, I thought I would never see the day.

[@nomad-pq4yw8iy7v]

never seen some one throw a chain back on like that is it because it's a long bar ur able to do that? I would think a shorter bar wouldn't flex enough to sneak the chain back on

[@victoriousvictor7978]

Damon Reuning 28" is about the shortest you can really get away with doing that on. Anytbing that size or above its a massive time saver.

[@nomad-pq4yw8iy7v]

That's what I thought next time he goes u'll have to hide in his luggage or get shipped with his saws in a box marked fragile

[@FishFind3000]

I learned that trick from buckin and did it to my 25” bar. cut pinched me and when I prayed my bar it pulled the chain off. Worked like a charm!
