I still haven't presented you my new Stihl MS 211 that I bought about one month ago. But now - I proudly pesent: 
I learn something everyday, Didn't know stihl made a 211. A nice saw, Looks like it would be light and easy to use.

It is part of the new "2010" generation.
Husky have started on the new generation of consumer saws as well - but the specs for the 235 and 240 looks really bad.......
Thanks for the info sawtroll, Interesting to know.

Martin,
I noticed that your original set of photos had 1 picture of each saw...except the 088...it got 3 pictures. I'm curious about Dolmar in Germany. How is the dealer network and what is the opinion of Germans of their own saw? I'm sure Stihl in the most popular brand, but is Dolmar gaining in popularity? They seem to be, unjustly so, a novelty here in the USA.

I am sure you are aware that is has the stratified scavenging engine design, so you should see an improvement in fuel economy compared to a similar cc saw.
Give us a field report on how it performs, please.

@ litefoot: Yes, Stihl is most popular, as well as Husqvarna also has many fans here. Dolmar gains popularity but their quality is, in my opinion, not as well as that from Stihl and Husky. That's the reason why I bought this 346 XPG and sell my Dolmar 4600 SH. It made some problems with its crankshaft.
@ Stihl #1: I use it most time for carving. It's leight and compact, and has a nice engine runs. It needs not much fuel but although its gas tank is too small.

The specs of the 211 actually look quite promising, compared to the POS 210, and the Husky 240/235......

This week I got two new STIHLs! Thank you again to Ric who bought them for me in the US. Two saws for the German price of one saw.
Saddly, USPS seems to have thrown the parcel around so that a piece of the case has been broken of on my MS 362.
But it's already fixed with epoxy.

Here are some detail pictures of the MS 362.
I'll also post some of the MS 460 when I got bar, chain and a usual handle bar for it.
And compared to my MS 361:

Nice Pics!!
Hello Martin,
Nice Pictures and Nice Saws!!! Thanks for sharing with us.
I'm amazed it's cheaper to buy a Stihl here in the U.S. and have it shipped to Germany...

Our "weak dollar" is starting to pay dividends. Traktorist2222, you sure have a lot of chainsaws and a lot of pretty places to use them in.

I am still not sure how this could happen..I know the that the string hangers are a weak spot and have seen many broke off.
I see you have them all dirtied up already
I tried to add extra padding for any tossing but now I dont remember if I took that out for inspection before I shipped.
Getting compensation from usps insurance does not look easy as it was only insured for the max limit of 500 and saw was about 650 with the bar.
I was drooling over that 460 mag though as I had just traded off my old 046 mag for that shiny 930 jony red.
I check my mailbox every day to see if my ks43 has arived yet :biggrinbounce2:
