Air filter extension/upgrade for 880?

When using the 880 in big oak, the filter gets clogged far too quickly in my opinion. I have used a piece of stocking around it as a pre-filter, take spare filters out with me etc but these measures do not address the problem.

The problem as I see it is that the filter just gets exposed to too much dust by design.

 

So, if the saw is used in an Alaskan, I wondered if anybody had attached an external filter to the saw.

I'm thinking a mill-mounted (in the middle, least dust?) fairly large filter connected to the saw with a flexi hose and attached with the normal filter screw connection so it's easy to take off.

 

 

Any thoughts, comments, experiences appreciated.

So, I'm the only one that thinks the 880 filter set-up is not best suited to milling?

I only find the air filter gets clogged when I'm doing the lower cuts on a trunk and I'm close to the saw dust pile. Never had a problem with clogged filter any other time.

 

However I can see what your getting at but not sure the engine would be pulling in enough air from that distance.

I've noticed it

 

I notice it more with the HD2 filter fitted (which are awesome btw)

Don't see it as a problem tbh
