This post is not intended to start a saw war. I own both Husqvarna and Stihl saws, and at the pro-grade level I think there are great design features for each. One area Husqvarna has always edged out Stihl is the air intake system, and having just stumbled across this demo video on Youtube I thought I would share it. Granted this shows the extreme, but I know in the field I have to clean out my filter and intake system ten times more often on the Stihl saws I run. Certainly there are other advantages to Stihls, but we don't need to go through the list of each. I just thought this was a cool demo video.

For most applications it is not really an issue other than needing to clean the air filter more frequently. The Husqvarna air intake system becomes more of an advantage in really dusty environments, when making frequent felling guts with the saw on its side close to the ground, and for some reason when it really counts like on a fire line. Like I said Stihl has other cool design advantages, outboard sprockets for one, but this is still a great design for Husqvarna.
