What an awesome video. There are people new to operating chainsaws that have limited instructions. It's great to watch a true craftsman performing his trade, especially while teaching others. You have saved us a multitude of frustration and time with this video, and for that, we thank you ❤ !

I'm not sure that only repeating "stay on your buck" makes it any easier to understand what it means... I'm still not completely sure I understand, but I guess you mean that I shall stay in my originally started cut to keep the bar going straight through, as opposed to starting a "new"/semi-new cut elsewhere on the circumference and risking not aligning up with the first cut?

No that isn't what it means. He means keep the bar (chain) on the cut you previously did along as much of its length as possible, instead of rocking the bar back from the cut for an easier position, and keeping only the front part of the bar in the kerf. By keeping close to the last cut position, and then cuttting while bringing the angle down, you stay in the plane of the previous cut.

Thank you BR. I'm almost 70 but never had to cut Big wood until this year when I took on a Tulip Poplar removal for the wood. The Tree was already down but cut way oversized and every piece was hundreds of pounds......vs my 125lbs. - lol. I didn't know about really Staying in the Buck, keeping the Bar on line and in the wood, and have done my share of Double bucks. Thanks to your easy explanation and Visuals I think things will be much easier in the future. I'm not investing in a Big Log bar saw for the few times one might come in handy, but My 62CC does a nice job spinning up a 22" chain. It has handled up to 38" rounds and even does a decent of noodling if needed. Love the Videos and the Lessons that come with them.

My technique is the second expample you showed in the beginning, and I came to use it by watching and listening to guys that knew better. It took much practice(work) and a few pinched bars before I was able to quickly buck almost any tree with a 20" bar. Great video, Buckin', this stuff makes a huge difference to people still learning.
@w1984t8 ай бұрын
I figured most of this out by trial and error before your video, but it helped solidify what I came to through experience. Something I'll do is sometimes stick a small wedge or two in the cut to keep the log from pinching the bar. They can also be used to bang in and break the round off the log if you cant quite get to the middle, just a few inches of wood.

As useful as this is, If a person watched just this video and tried to "stay on their buck", they'd bury their bar tip in the soil a lot. Very interesting video, I just wish you didn't underplay how much experience you have Billy! Knowing how long your bar is and where the end of the cutting edge is when it's buried that far in a log is not a trivial skill. Keep up the good work though! I learn so much from your videos!

Generally, I am not felling trees, but this was a great learning tool for me. Usually I am bucking wind falls around camp. Now, I have some knowledge on how to approach larger trees when bucking! Love the teaching vids Buckin, keep em coming!👍👍
Right on what I like about cutting trees, no trees, the same I agree with you. You can always learn and gather knowledge for your next challenge.
Thanks for the good technique
I've cut 40" trees with a 20" Bar....done it many times! Ms291 and ms290 wasn't fun at all....they start to get hot, had to keep switching saws out......I had ms460 one time, and it was absolute Cake.
Only ever had one saw that I couldn't run all day long and hog through what I was cutting. It was an old ms but I can't remember what one it was, it was the most contrary saw I ever had tho. It would run amazing but as soon as she got hot set it down and wait 30 min cause it wouldn't start. I honestly think that's just an old sthil thing.
Thanks Bucken as a short bar guy that was really helpful. Maybe one day I will have a long bar like you.
Most of my saws are 20-24" bars. Great instructional vid. It made me think about what I do. Thanks Buckin'!
Count down was fun not usually any time this early in the day so I’m glad I could hop on and live chat ya
I admire your skills ! Definitely a lot of experience you have. Thanks for all you do in your videos. You taught me to be safer as I use my chainsaws. A kinder person too!
Man that little saw is freaking hungry!
Yes I also have a short bar....... just something I was born with! Lol
Thank you for your very good educational video Bucking!
welcome sir

Saturday night with Buckin on the saw perfect
You doing good brother? Stay elevated 💪✌️❤️
@@okami9811 doing great how are you
@@critterg8493 pretty good thanks, one day at a time one foot in front of the other, take it easy bro ✌️❤️💪

Another great video. I enjoy the tips. You’re the best when it comes to cutting wood.👍
Thank you, Buckin’ for this video! A couple months ago I was watching an older video of yours and noticed you doing one these techniques and I just happened to remember it when I had 30+ inch logs to buck with my 20 inch bar. What a difference! Thank you again and thank you to whoever asked the question! God bless!
Liked the way you moved the big log. Made it look simple and I know it isn't. Good to know I've been using my 20" correctly on big logs as I have done it both ways purely on intuition. Take care big man and have lots of fun.
Very good video Buckin. Nice, clean and informative…What else could one ask for!
A beautiful buck like the one in your picture would be nice 👍 😁 take it easy ✌️
Thanks Billy Ray for helping out us lady chainsaw operators out here. I really enjoyed your video...and you're pretty easy on the eyes yourself! 😉
My technique is the second expample you showed in the beginning, and I came to use it by watching and listening to guys that knew better. It took much practice(work) and a few pinched bars before I was able to quickly buck almost any tree with a 20" bar. Great video, Buckin', this stuff makes a huge difference to people still learning.
I figured most of this out by trial and error before your video, but it helped solidify what I came to through experience. Something I'll do is sometimes stick a small wedge or two in the cut to keep the log from pinching the bar. They can also be used to bang in and break the round off the log if you cant quite get to the middle, just a few inches of wood.
I did residential tree work for some years I used this technique everyday… if some one was on the big saw or the big saw goes dull… pick up the small saw and start cutting… whatever it takes to get the job done
Man I truly enjoy watching all your videos. I started a tree company. Bucket list. I did it. You're videos help a lot. Thank you much.
Billy, short Chinese bars are the best. Try them out. You are a pro, you need the best.
Thanks mate. I'm learning a stack of good stuff from these videos.
Just subscribed!! I stay on my Buck while cutting here in Maine!!
Welcome to the buckin army 🪖 Spread the love Increase the peace ✌️❤️🌲🪵🪓🐝
This guy is passionate about his work No wonder he is so good at it ,Very satisfying to watch getting those logs cut evenly nice and clean🔥👏🏼👏🏼
Comment: Nice job... I got a woody watching how easy you make it look.
What a terrific demonstration of the techniques...I only have an 18 inch bar but occasionally encounter the problem you highlighted here with larger trunks...Thank you so much for posting...
That’s a big old Cedar. Well done Billy 🤙🏼
Holly crap! This is amazing, thank you so mich for the vid. I used to always double buck on the big logs. Thank you so much!
im aways waiting for your new show's better than tv!
Thanks, Billy. I have a 14” bar and some big wood, and I’ve learned a lot from you. Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you buckin!!! We greatly appreciate this training video! You have helped our business alot and this lesson is another tool we will hold on to! We don't use long saws so we need this. Aaron and Alli (a&a repairs) from sumner Washington
Thank you. I have wanted to know this knowledge for awhile. I have been looking at a larger saw for the bigger logs.
Thank u I’ve been bucking oak in north cali lots of down trees learning trying not get a kick back using a lot of wedges I appreciate your knowledge thanks again
Excellent video brother! I really enjoyed this one. Such an overlooked technique. But so important! Thank you for sharing Billy Ray! God bless you and your loved ones
you bet
Amen
Thanks for the video wish I saw this a couple weeks ago, ended up "double bucking" way too many times on a 40 inch diameter douglas fir with a 20 inch bar. Very informative thank you very much
That saw with 20 inch bar absolutely rips
Great video. I have a Husqvarna rancher 450 with a 20" bar and I've been thinking through how I'm gonna tackle a decent size hickory this fall. You have addressed the exact situation I'll be in, so thank you.
Always enjoy these videos, especially this time of year when it's cutting firewood time. We can put these skills to work, thanks again for the tips !
For some reason the beautiful forest in the background almost looks unreal to me. What a wonderful place to live and work!
Nice! Keep ur bar on the same plane, throughout. Use your buck/cut as a guide, throughout. Listen to ur power tools… Felt like I did a good days work watching you become one with the saw… 👍thanks
Thanks BR...I only have a couple 50cc saws with smaller bars. I do at times have large trees like this and thank you SO much once again for this lesson...Stay safe out there Brother
I started this years logging/cutting and splitting when there was still snow on the ground last winter. I wanted to be way ahead by late spring. I've been having such a good time cutting this year I haven't really stopped. Dang it Billy it's partially your fault.. all the saws are running great, sharper than ever and even though I've been cutting for years I've been learning some solid stuff from you, even how to enjoy being on the saw more. 👉👍
Great video. Thanks! At first, just looking at the title, I thought to myself "amateur stuff... it's all about skill" and that takes hands on experience and patience... For the record, I've been cutting for decades, but still just a an amateur - it's a hobby, not my full time job - always learning. But great description and demonstration of technique!!! Perfect! Keep up the great content!
I buck up some bigger oak. I enjoy your practical advice and knowledge.
great job demonstrating different techniques on some good sized timber. thanks for sharing.
Makes sense now, stay in the cut!
I too enjoy these videos Buckin thank you for making them.
I find this very useful since I am planing to cut extremely big cherry tree log on Saturday
That little chain is throwin chip like the logs not even there!!
I think the channel should be called “Stay on your buck”. 👍🏾
Had to do fallen tree across a fence on a wicked slope and saw only had a 20 inch bar. Wish l had of seen your video first but all good thanks to the husqvarna 394xp. Ended up buying a longer bar. Needed it anyway. Bar was worn-out and cut a banana 🍌 shape. Tree was around 1m. Sorry from Oz.
Stay on your buck! I love it! I went with the first way to do it on a 2 and half foot diameter log(20”bar) and I got perfect rounds! Thank you! Subscribed
wow , great video . Thank you very much for the different ways to cut and the best way . I appreciate you sharing your knowledge
Thank you for sharing, I was actually just looking how to buck with a short bar I’ve got a 60cc rancher but a small 18in bar
I’ve learned a lot from you. I’m new to logging on my property for firewood. Wish you lived next to me
awesome advice billy peace an love from scotland stu an family.
I enjoy these kind of videos, Having a 18" bar it gives me better knowledge on how buck biger trees, keep them coming! Living in Pittsburgh Hope to see you at Bunyan
Thank you!! I love your teaching
thx
A+
I understand what you mean about staying on your buck. Maybe you have already demonstrated this on another video. If you could show a double buck it would help explain staying on your buck. I really have enjoyed your videos since I subscribed a few weeks ago.
Thanks for all the learnings videos
As useful as this is, If a person watched just this video and tried to "stay on their buck", they'd bury their bar tip in the soil a lot. Very interesting video, I just wish you didn't underplay how much experience you have Billy! Knowing how long your bar is and where the end of the cutting edge is when it's buried that far in a log is not a trivial skill. Keep up the good work though! I learn so much from your videos!
Thanks Buckin' I'm not a faller (feller), but an arborist, but still fall and buck quite a few big hardwoods. I tend not to pinch my bar at all since watching your videos and clean them up nicely. keep up the good work
I"m talking Australian hardwoods too ;)
This reminds me of how my grandpa cut down my grandma's favorite tree ( he was a drunk) and my aunt saved a piece just like those stepping stones and hid it at her house then sealed it with some kind of floor /boat sealer 😅 long story short I have it now and this reminds me of how that table top came to life. Don't always have what's best but getting it done right is what counts. I'm glad you showed me 2 ways to safely cut a log twice as big as your bar. I've helped cut up limbs but never full logs like you but this is very good knowledge. I appreciate you boss man. Keep them 2 strokes ripping lol
Great video. I've had access to some big ash this year and only have a 20" bar. Definitely been guilty of the double buck. A great reminder of what not to do.
Buckin Billy Ray I love your videos I learned so much.
Thank you my man, good technique
I loved it Buckin
Another great video, thanks Buckin’!
That’s using a chainsaw and its full potential. Nice job.
Thanks Buckin', great video!
Very cool instructions! Thanks!
Nice that you address questions from the comments right on.
