    I had to go back to the shopping cart to view. How practical are the 440's with all that air cleaner hanging out, are they play or work saws?

    It's just a free-flowing air filter. Near zero restriction. I have an hd filter and regular cover for it too

    The vents are to get air easier to the filter?

    Only cut in the summer? Its colder than 30* for 8+ months of the year. Colder is better, no tourist, mosquitoes, mud. And best of all not sweating to death.

    Here we cover all vents with it. It is amazingly strong. I has run through brush with some speed, no hole through it.

    By putting the ports with frogskinz, most of the air is getting pulled in there? Thus filtering the dust/air?

    Makes sense. From the pics, it appears like path of least resistance.
