I saw it run and now I want one!! RIPSAW STIHL 500i!!

Let's talk about the RIPSAW ported stihl 500i. My thoughts and a video showing why I'm so impressed by this saw!!

thanks for watching

buckin is having a blast, so nice to see you guys having a great time all of you deserve it, good video

[andrewhamilton-eypo]

I enjoy watching that guy run a saw. It is a joy to watch him having that much fun. I'm unfortunately just going to run my stock 500I for now. I will eventually get a saw from ripsaw. Keep doing what you're doing brother.

I consider myself a “Stihl Guy” but I bought a new Husky 372 partially by recommendation from Buckin’. Nothing wrong with a “Husky Guy” appreciating a good Stihl saw especially one that was hot rodded by the fine folks at Ripsaw.
Keep up the good work, be safe, and have fun!

I ran a new stock 500i at the Canadian Vintage Chainsaw Hoarders Get Together this past year - Impressive!! I can only imagine what it is like ported.

One won't be in my cards any time soon, but I did build a killer ported MS440/460 hybrid that pulls harder than a stock 500i. It is my new favourite saw - and I am a Husqvarna man at heart. It is noticeably lighter and pulls harder than my ported big bore 372 - just an absolute joy of a saw to run.

Love your videos - you have been an inspiration to me. Thanks brother!!

Those rip saw 500s are amazing, I build saws for big hardwood and watching that saw rip into that maple was amazing, it’s rare to see built saws in hardwood like that, it’s just hard on equipment and everything, and amazing video as always Tinman

Never understood why people didn't like the 500i . I absolutely love mine. It's reliable, powerful, and feels awesome in the hands. All I have is a bark box on mine, and some bigger Dawgs. It's always my first saw I grab.

Being from Pennsylvania I’m no stranger to hardwoods. I love my echos. I typically cut shag hickory when it’s available but settle for ash. Red oaks stupid easy to split with axes but I hate burning it. I don’t like wood piles so I cut standing dead and it takes too long to dry. I tried the long bar game but it kills my back. It’s a catch 22 for me. A big heavy powerful saw cuts faster thru our wood but a lighter saw is easier on the body. That XL You built would be a perfect saw. A light weight screaming 50cc with a 20” bar is home

It’s definitely not a regular stock 500i that is looking so badazz and super strong in the video and I’d love to see how much better that RipSaw’s 500 runs next to the factory version…. Would love to know just for the shits and giggles what they cut out of the squish band on their version because it’s looking absolutely strong with the bar buried and laying into her pretty good it’s just blasting through the wood!!! I’d love to have a RipSaw’s 500i LMFFAO

I love power saws, but, I have reduced the number I have since closing my business. Now I’m doing only firewood, I have 4 saws…Great video Tinman👍

Rip saw is amazing but the price is high and the wait is 16 to 20 weeks. I know they're very busy, cuz. They're stuff is amazing. That's almost 5 months, and they're charged in $600. More than what the saw is. Most guys who do work to saw as charge for 450 at the most. But they are great, I'll give them that.

[generaldistrust]

lemme 🛑 for a moment to *appreciate* the boss letting the beast cooldown for the right count of seconds in idle to let the whole guts of it get enough 2T mix lube *back* to all the moving parts inside the crank-case 🔥 Hard-hats off right here to the MAN, huge respect! You don't see that every day 🙌🏽🔥

[DeliveryBryan]

Just got my 500i R ported ! Can’t wait to get it back into wood again !

[christine_bbr]

Great video… nice looking toque and love that blue plaid jacket lol

[walkerscountrylife]

After selling a few saws I've finally bought a500i for my channel.. can't wait to see one on yours TinMan! Have a great day.

[tbruce-sawsandsplitting]

This 500i bug seems pretty contagious 🤣🤣 by the time i can afford one theyll be vintage🤙🤙 much respect

[NorAlb_Chainsaw_Carver]

Buckin hates to love that saw hahah God bless him

[saltrock]

My buddy is trying to get me to pull the trigger and get a 500 but for now my 400c is doing an excellent job bucking logs. Maybe one day. Thanks, Tinman

[daviddavies]

Sorry I haven't watched your channel it's been a good 3 months but now I'm back and really enjoy your videos 👌

[tdawg]

Husky guy all the way for me....just say'en. Nothing against Stihl at all, just personal preference. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙
