Awesome Video, It is very rare these days that a Man has Humbled himself enough that even with an instructional Video it comes naturally to say "This is What I would Do" Instead of "What You Need To Do" That's great and is Appreciated. Thanks for the Knowledge
Buckin I also thought this would be a funny shirt or something - "Get yer self a long bar. Stand up and buck!" And "Don't have a long bar? STAY IN THE BUCK!" lol stay in the buck almost kicked stand up and buck out of my head. Great video, thanks brother!
I loved it Buckin, thanks! My favorite part of these types of videos is when you suddenly pause in the middle of a cut, and look straight at the camera with this look on your face that says "do you see what I'm showing you? This is what I was talking about. Did you get it?" LOL
So, I have cut trees down off and on for years, now I have 3 acres with a smattering of tiny buildings and obstacles, catching up with you for a few weeks will help me out big time. I appreciate your help. God Bless All.
Ton of value in that nice cedar. Trees like that put food on my family’s table growing up. Medley Company Cedar in north Idaho made very nice shake roofing and spilt rail fencing. Thanks Buckin’
I enjoy utting the big wood. Here in the Midwest USA. All I get it 30" plus oak.. I know it's small to those monsters. I have learned some of these from common sense. But your wisdom really does help. Thank you. Have a blessed day
Picked up Alota knowledge and cool tricks from watching you man I started with a 16” bar on a 40cc saw my dad handed down to me 😂 and I’d try falling and bucking big timber wore me plum out
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.
Yea ive had that problem. Pulling out and abandoning my cut line, not keeping the bar sunk. logs can take forever when u cant keep your cut lined up. Great info.
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 ❤ !
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!👍👍
And this is why I like a ground chain versus a hand filed chain. When I got a Simington chain grinder, it changed everything, because not only did the saw cut considerably faster, but it cut laser straight lines. Using a 36” bar, I could buck 6 feet trees and the cuts never ran off, and always came together perfectly, so the log fell away cleanly.
Just wanted to say thanks for all you have taught me. I also want to thank you for your time you have spent creating all of these videos Billy. I never owned a chainsaw untilll about a year ago now I feel quite comfortable on it and have dropped several trees. Just completely cut up a sugar maple with a 40"plus trunk over the weekend with an electric Makita battery operated saw. Took quite a few batteries but it all went well. We are now completely hating our house with wood this will be our second year. I have a brand new furnace 98% efficient that I never use because you have inspired me with the firewood Buckin.❤ You'll always be the chainsaw King to me 👑
Good video. I have had issues double bucking in the past. I will never have a double bucking issue again thanks to you. I always start out good but I wouldn’t stay in my buck and do exactly what you showed us to be wrong. I am not a pro just really like saws for some reason. I remember loving the sound of the old macs, huskies, and stihls when I was a young kid 4-5 years old.
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.
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'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.
Stay on your Buck !!!! otherwise the cut shifts and it gets complicated. when you have had the problem you immediately understand why he insists, it's the only way to stay aligned.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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 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
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. 👉👍
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
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...
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!
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
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
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
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
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

All I have are 20" bars. Yes this video makes a lot of since. It is something I will remember forever.
Same here. Nothing to compensate.
I always like the instructional videos. It's great for the average faller.
Gotta love it Buckin!!

Yea super helpful.
He cuts these logs better than I can cut a piece of cake. Simply amazing.
I only own an 18" saw currently and have ended up doing WAY too much double cutting.
This video was very helpful 😊
I mean to get a saw that can handle a 24-36 will set you back alot, so i feel alot of people are having to do this.
@@wetonwet3655 I finally got a 20" .🤷♂️
Rake up the sawdust after it dries. Great fire starter.
I liked it and explained why I get 2 cuts. Thanks
was hopin this wood help some one
👍 Nice. Love that. I'd been wondering and I got it, "STAY ON THE BUCK" to keep it straight.
Woo-hoo first Bucking live stream. Thanks for the message bud. And for the knowledge.
Great videos man you have taught me something that I will use when cutting wood which I do every day for a job thank you buckin bill ray

Yes love the spoon feed.
I love learning from your many years of experience 😊
I APPRECIATE HOW YOU EXPLAIN THE WHOLE THOUGHT PROCESS AND SHOW THE BEST WAY... thanks billy stay safe 🙏 brother 👍
Love seeing the 346 in action!
So, I have cut trees down off and on for years, now I have 3 acres with a smattering of tiny buildings and obstacles, catching up with you for a few weeks will help me out big time. I appreciate your help. God Bless All.

Great video, thanks Buckin'. Firewood burning season just started here and I'm way behind , so I've got stuck into some monster eucalypts with my 20"
Watching you do ballet with your saws is cool
good tips. alot more people are picking up saws for the first time and need good ol' basic tips. keep them coming
