Wooddog, you're a real piece of work. First of all, you didn't have the guts to even introduce yourself at Bills GTG. Talk about a coward! Stand back in the shadows and then run home where you can post your inflamatory remarks from behind the shadows of your keyboard. What a wus. Talk about Kotexs, ehh?
Are your foolish enough to think that one man's going to win every class every time. Only a fool would believe that. You seem to forget the saws of mine that did make a good showing. All it takes is less than perfect cutting to make a bad time with a saw. But see, your kind doesn't care about the truth. All you're in this for is a fight, and a cowardly one at that. What do you have to offer here? Where are all your fast saws? Where are all you helpful posts and threads? So you tear others down to make yourself feel better? That's known as a bully and a coward. And that description fits you to a T!

Was the 211 running .043 or .050 gauge chain???
If it's .043 PMN then yeah.... going to the .050 should help a bit.
If it's the .050 Stihl PM/PMC than it's about as good as 3/8's LP chain gets. If it’s the PMC3 (most likely) then you won’t see much improvement switching chains maybe a 1/10th…….. I’ve done the testing, I run Stihl 63PM on my Redmax.
(in my best Chinese voice)
Seeeee, I toh youuuu.
Might as well face it the Redmax (Ryobi) is just the faster/stronger, better built saw..... and a better value to boot with a longer warranty.
(The Stihlhead in me says, I did not just say that and will deny it if asked
Yes the 211 is running .050 PMC3 it's definitely not an aggressive chain.
I plan on picking up a Ryobi/Redmax, and a 401 at some point, I just wanted to see how these new little Stihl's run. I think they are a bit overpriced, but they're still really nice homeowner saws.

Congrats on the 211! Give her about 15 tanks to get rolling and she will open up. I'd put my 211 up against that roybi any time for durability, reguardless of how they are built.
The .050 PMC Stihl chain is fine, keep it sharp and it eats well. I haven't tried other brands due to having many loops of the PMC on hand. Like Erick said, I doubt you will see much of a difference.

What ever you say fatguy. I'm not a member of the Kotex posse or what ever you kids are calling it now days, so therefore I must be wrong.
You know what jerk^ff you are either ignorant or stupid i personally am leaning toward stupid. You come onto this site and insult at least two people (mopar, fatguy) that have forgotten more about saws than you can hope to learn. It would be in your best interest not to get into a pis#ing contest with either of those two men. I personally know both of them and between fatguy's amazing skills in the machine shop and mopar's intelligence you are under equipped...trust me. It is also ill advised to start trying to bandy words with mopar because you are sorely under gunned, If you are having trouble keeping up imagine trying to kill a cape buffalo with a sling shot. I know that by now your wheels are spinning in that vacuum that is your reason center within your withered gray matter. Before you post anything know this, I DO NOT CARE what you have to say witty or not you will not run down these guys on my watch.

What's the latest rumor on the release of the Stihl 261?
A couple weeks ago when I was at Mdsns, there was a guy going out to lunch with the owner that said it was now in production.
Is he full of noise?

I hope to be the first one here with one.
When I picked up the 211 my dealer said the 261 is do out anytime now, but he's been wrong before, so take it for what it is.

Does the 211 have an adjustable oiler?
Since stihl's site doesn't say so, I assume it doesn't.

I ran a 435 and found the bar too bouncy (up and down) to suit me. 211 bar was steady at all rpms.
Haven't run a 420.
