Definitely jealous of the nice level ground you're working on. The past 2 weeks we have been select cutting 100 acres and most of it is on a 60-100% slope.
i love the vids .,,.,.,but I always wonder how Buckin billy ray would handle a hardwood stand.,.,.,.i know one thing it be a hell of a vidjah you and him side by side.,.,.,maybe one day.,.,.,.tkzz for sharing logger wade,,..,peace
Hell of a kickback. I had the same thing happen bucking on the landing with a 395. Pistol grip hit me in junior and the twins hard enough to bring a tear to my eye. Good times driver good times
Ya know, ya sold me on your saw. I used to like Stihl, not anymore. Your Husky sounds powerful doesn't slow down or lug in the cut unless it's pinched. Heluva saw.
When you sell wood does it go to pulp mill or saw mill ? Here in E. Tennessee we have a paper mill in Kingsport they buy anything. We do have some that cut for saw mill. I guess you cut sort and send to both ?
Could you explain your cutting technique more please? It looks like you make the face cut, and then borecut in with the top of your bar, then set the hinge thickness with the bottom of your bar, and then go back to the remaining holding wood with the top of your bar. What is the advantage of doing it that way vs. the more conventional back cut? What are your thoughts on boring in with the bottom of your bar vs the top?
Wade could you answer a bar & chain question? When I bought my Husky 66, it came with a 32" bar, and was very well balanced with it. Well after umpteen years of use and countless chains, the sprocket tip finally wore out, and the only bars the local dealer had were 24" so I didn't have any choice but to put the 24" setup on it and order another 32". Well the first thing I noticed was the saw didn't feel as balanced anymore, it kicked back a lot more violently, and the chain needed to be touched up a lot more often. Now the bars were both Oregon, and it was the same identical chain off the same spool, pro grade stuff not home owner skip chain. Two weeks later my new 32" bar came in, I made up a new chain for it off the spool and it was right back to working like it did, chain stayed sharp, no close call kick backs. Do you think it stayed sharper longer because the chain was longer and had more teeth so it didn't dull as fast? Another thing I noticed was the chain & bar were cooler after a cut with the 32". Am I crazy? What do you think was the difference?
Just a thought on the buncher. Do you guys use fuel with fungus treatment in it? We had a similar problem on the farm with a couple tractors and we ended up changing fuel suppliers. Had to pull the tanks and steam clean them to put an end to it. No problems after that.
Just a comment. When I ran helicopters for the US Forest Service, I had a pilot that was a Fuels guy on an American Aircraft Carrier. He knew his stuff. He told me that in Jet fuel Water would get between the kerosene molicules and fungus would grow. That is why Jet Fuel on a Carrier is blended as needed and not carried as Jet Fuel.. Things may have changed by now with Fungi being dealt with in a different way. That was 40 years ago. Jim
I was on a job site once where we had a fuel problem similar to your on the cutter and after a week they found the fuel line layers had separated and when they idled it up and put it under load the internal part of the line was collapsing and starving the machine for fuel. Not sure if this will help or not but thought it might be useful.
Mercury outboard fuel lines do this same shit. They are a two piece fuel line. The inner piece seperates from the outer, then the inner piece turns into tiny pieces and clogs everything.
Wade, how loose do you run your chain. I never seem to be able to get one back on after getting it thrown off the bar without loosening up the bar first. Does your bar length help with that. I'm up in New England and 18 inch bars are pretty much the norm up here
10-4, Buckin' Billy uses long bars and has in a few instances just flexed the bar right over until he could pop the chain back on and he was good to go again. You can see Wade push the top of the bar against the butt log (14:48) to get the chain back on again.
Now that's what I call being stewards of the timber. It's a beautiful stand of trees and the forester has selected only the big ones so the leftovers will have plenty of room to grow and produce income in another 30 years or so.
hvy 1ton that's one of the reasons I dislike lightweight bars. I had an old husky 298 with a 36" lightweight and she would spring like mad if the top got pinched. Called it a thumb breaker.
Logger Wade as JASON.He's killing trees because they can't run...HAHA!!.Great vidga Wade. I'm surprised that you don't use carbide chains,you don't have to sharpen them near as often.
Wade , your just like NASCAR ! You don't stop the engine when you fuel up ! What about a pit crew ? I like it when they come back and hit you in the shins ! It makes you say nasty words !
I was going to leave a comment about cutting from the bottom and pulling the saw up.... But I think that kick to the bladder might have shown you better about pressure points of a tree on the ground.
That's whats called laying some big trees down in a hurry! I can well imagine when that saw kicked back it hurt you badly and hurt for a good while afterwards. Clearly from the size of the butts they are big but could you give us some realistic idea of length as they look really long/tall?
I don't always watch timber-cutting "videos", but when I do, they're Logger Wade Vidjas!
My favorite type of vidja. Could watch hr's of hand cutting. Thanks for putting it together wade!
Definitely jealous of the nice level ground you're working on. The past 2 weeks we have been select cutting 100 acres and most of it is on a 60-100% slope.
Seeing you fuel up reminded me ,thanks for the heads up on the fuel mix. Night and day difference.
Man, I wish I could drop trees that clean and fast!! Good job!
Great job Wade..You and Rogie make a great team..Hope your bladder's better..
Take Care and Have a better day tomorrow..
You getting it done wade.thats some nice logs as well
Quite an impressing pace!
It's not often you see Americans using bore cuts as standard. We do it like that in Europe as well.
Love the hand cutting vidjas. Thanks for another good one
i love the vids .,,.,.,but I always wonder how Buckin billy ray would handle a hardwood stand.,.,.,.i know one thing it be a hell of a vidjah you and him side by side.,.,.,maybe one day.,.,.,.tkzz for sharing logger wade,,..,peace
I know you have been doing this for years, but dang you make it look easy...good vidja
Great video Mr Wade. I'm curious as to why you don't take any firewood or pulp
Hell of a kickback. I had the same thing happen bucking on the landing with a 395. Pistol grip hit me in junior and the twins hard enough to bring a tear to my eye. Good times driver good times
Nice video! Love the 395XP! What mods are there on it?
hey Logger Wade, what do you do with the tops?
Next week is going to be a real good week for ya buddy!! I can feel it in ma bladder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya know, ya sold me on your saw. I used to like Stihl, not anymore. Your Husky sounds powerful doesn't slow down or lug in the cut unless it's pinched. Heluva saw.
When you sell wood does it go to pulp mill or saw mill ? Here in E. Tennessee we have a paper mill in Kingsport they buy anything. We do have some that cut for saw mill. I guess you cut sort and send to both ?
hey did jah get any gas in the tank ???
Great vidja thanks for sharing stay safe and keep on stacking them up
Wade when I stick my bar in far like you did on the first tree.. the tree always sits down on me.. why's that?
Good vidja wade! quick question, ive never seen yall cut any birch. is there even any birch over there?

CumminsDslPwr smaller bar = more rpm and torque. That would make it feel to you that the saw is more "violent"

The jab at Stevie at 14:40. 😂
TIMBERBEAST!!!! got them dropping like flies! see that Stevey
Ouch!! hope you feeling better.
really like these vidjas thanks wade
Do you use the tops?
logger Wade at what age did you start cutting Timber?
That Husky is a beast of a saw. Dang thing bites like one too!!
Is that Erma Rogie’s running?
good stuff Wade I sure enjoy watchin. how do you log swamps down there?
also how do you like your suspenders and whered ya get em?
nice looking ground.
Hey driver at least it didn’t hit ya in the little taters🤣 poor Steeveyyyy got er
Puddin is running like a freakin champ
Keep your thumb wrapped around that front handle. I get lazy too.
Nice to see a cutting clip. 👍
Marshy first thing I was ever taught!
sean john, it's easy to get complacent.
Wow you are a real logger. I know the equipment is better then it was in 1972... but you can lay them trees down.
I was on a job site once where we had a fuel problem similar to your on the cutter and after a week they found the fuel line layers had separated and when they idled it up and put it under load the internal part of the line was collapsing and starving the machine for fuel.

Yes I have had that happen, one time I had a kick back And didn't have my thumb around the handle pretty near parted my face
Whackin and a stackin and fighting back against those mechanical Gremlins.
All of you be safe out there.
That kick back was brutal
Logger wade ain’t playing around
14:08 that’s why you wrap your thumb around the handle bar.
Wade, how loose do you run your chain. I never seem to be able to get one back on after getting it thrown off the bar without loosening up the bar first. Does your bar length help with that. I'm up in New England and 18 inch bars are pretty much the norm up here

looks like he runnin' sumthin' like 28' bar.
Good Ol’ Puddin’, or what # Puddin are we runnin’ now? Work safe Brother!!👍👍
Lumber must be moving even had a dry kiln place call me yesterday. They said they was paying over market.
any special reason you walked in front of that hard leaner and not behind? great vid
Now that's how you drop some timber!!!
I think that shot to the bladder might have been a touch lower driver LOL
My, how you've changed......For the better. Jan.21
Now that's what I call being stewards of the timber. It's a beautiful stand of trees and the forester has selected only the big ones so the leftovers will have plenty of room to grow and produce income in another 30 years or so.
Looked like the bar flexing threw the chain before brake came on. That bar turned into a hell of spring there for a second.
hvy 1ton that's one of the reasons I dislike lightweight bars. I had an old husky 298 with a 36" lightweight and she would spring like mad if the top got pinched. Called it a thumb breaker.
Logger Wade as JASON.He's killing trees because they can't run...HAHA!!.Great vidga Wade.
I'm surprised that you don't use carbide chains,you don't have to sharpen them near as often.
that's some nice open cutting no Breyers
I've had my 880magnum kick back and hit me pretty good, and it will rattle your bones
I ALWAYS CALL THOSE WORE-OUT BARS "WINTER BARS" THE WOOD IS FROZEN AND CURS A LIL EASIER WITH A JACKED BAR. I AM FROM WISCONSIN..
That kickback made me feel yer pain!!! Awfully close to the "meat n taters"....take care!!!
Wade , your just like NASCAR ! You don't stop the engine when you fuel up ! What about a pit crew ? I like it when they come back and hit you in the shins ! It makes you say nasty words !
how do u crimp a bar wade
to cut straight
need a tool for that....bar closer tool
I had a mate do the pit stop fuel fill,he had a dodgy pull cord and ya it exploded into flames and lost his saw.......
Whack em n stack em!!
why wasn't stevey helping ya cut some of them? always missing it seems. was he deer hunting -huh. lol.
I was going to leave a comment about cutting from the bottom and pulling the saw up.... But I think that kick to the bladder might have shown you better about pressure points of a tree on the ground.
That “Leaner” Maple is going to make some crappy lumber.
Good thing it didnt get ya in the beans lol
Went yellow jacket when it sped up
WOW have navr see a tree like that
Maybe TDK Logging will let you borrow Jay if you ask real nice. Guaranteed Jay will chase these gremlin's a way.
That's whats called laying some big trees down in a hurry! I can well imagine when that saw kicked back it hurt you badly and hurt for a good while afterwards.
Clearly from the size of the butts they are big but could you give us some realistic idea of length as they look really long/tall?
I knew you were too busy, but you don't even got time to turn the saw off for refueling!
Wade your damn lucky it didn't do a lot worse, and I also noticed you cuttin with no gloves? whats with that
That is some bad kickback
O HELL YA
Goddarn rotten hollow trees darn things a a pain to cut especially when leanin harder than tower of pizza be safe bud
You 'V" cut the front on a hard lean, cut around the sides an hit the back to turn lose..best trick for me..
What is puddin wade
Make and model
William King, he said Husqvarna 395xp
Champsqvarna!
Good thing that didn't hit you in the junk... Talk about a breakdown....
lol Ouchy
Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man o roggie is a good hand seems like.
Yes he is and a good man
A good hand is hard to find there's days
