stihl are designed to run with partly clogged air filters so even though it had more saw dust on it doesn't mean it wouldn't have out run the huskey plus the carbs can compensate for the less air flow and changing air to fuel mix the gap in the saw allows more air flow to begin with plus its easy to clean the air filters also never is there a real cutting application that there wood be that much saw dust on top of the saw. stihl has more science but into the chains they use than any other saw

@cameronjolley85 True - Stihl does have a compensating carburetor which adjusts based on air flow, etc... But one has to ask the question, what's better for the saw's longevity and performance, adjusting the fuel flow due to a choked intake or not having a clogged breather in the first place?

[mowerwakerandblower]

i like husqvarnas but maybe you should fully put the stihls filter case back on

[husqyfan]

@mowerwakerandblower Please read down through the comments, this has been explained a number of times. The gap is part of the Stihl design of that saw.

@husqyfan if thats the case then why dont mine have a gap?

[husqyfan]

@kc0tpi Because you don't have the same saw. Go to Stihl's website and look at a MS460 for comparison.

@tonup73 I've explained this already that Husqvarna DOES use 2 rings where appropriate, ie the 576XP which is designed for hi torque due to it's logging application. I didn't bring this up below but the reason I said "typically" is the new Husqvarna X Torq engines r higher n torque regardless. If Stihl's drawing air from multiple locations is better, they wouldn't be adopting the Husqvarna technology n their latest saws. And I still have no idea how you can think we put more dust on the Stihl.

[tonup73]

I see what you did there. While the Husq may be higher in RPMs than the Stihl, the two rings and higher torque in the Stihl, along with its ability to pull air from multiple places instead of having to rely SOLELY on a single ring clearly displays how the auto oilers on the Husq are simply inferior, therefore leading to a far shorter lifespan. You may be clever enough to dump more sawdust on your competition, but where will you be when your competition dumps the dust on YOU?

CactusWold.I must apologise.When I first read your comment I read it as "licensed Abortionist" and thought to myself what has he to seek here?Sorry bout that.I can only say that I have used Stihl saws for years and would not consider using any other.

[CactusWolf]

I work every day with Stihl's as a Licensed Arborist. I have many Stihl saws from 12" bars to 42", also many other Stihl equipment/gear, etc. In my opinion, having used Husky, Stihl and Echo, the Stihl product is far superior to anything else out there. In fact that's the only type of chainsaw I would recommend. The safety features, the ease of use, the simplicity and the durability come to mind. I love Stihls and they make my job easier and more fun. Personally, I can't say same about Huskies

[greatkeyboardwarrior]

I have had both huski and stihl and I dont care about who made what or where it came from. In my opion huski is the superior chainsaw!

@cameronjolley85 saw dust scuffs the piston. i rather have my saw not suck dust in then a saw that can change its mixture because of a cloged filter. BUT both extreamly well built, and quality products. i for one have both and enjoy both.

[Bamazrollin]

They're both quality saws. People who say one is better than the other is just saying that because that's the saw they own. Some people will say "I have both but I like the stihl way better"... If that's the case then you wouldn't own both...

[grooveg83]

i run both and my stihls run so much better than the huskys... i prefer stihls over husky that's just my opinion... its does not take much to take the cover off when you get back to the shop and clean your air filter... its just basic maintenance

[collettecowboy]

So your tellin me you dump shavings on your saw why your cutting. cuz when i cut my saw gets better air flow because of that opening and when the filter does get dirty guess what, i clean it ;D

[zaharasport]

This is like the file that either the string and only dust when cutting out when yours is to come out shavings when cutting, always cut the chain but less dust to enter the filter housing, if you leave before choking dust with who should clean the filter, so I stick with STIHL, it is easier to repair and maintenance, a greeting. STIHL 230-MS.

[MrBurnTec]

they both beat the old saws lumberjacks used to use
