    Had a 2188 given to me a couple of years ago. It was only 2-3 weeks old and a tree fell on it. I thought I had enough parts to fix it but decided it would take more money than I wanted to spend. Had more fin damage than I cared for.

    Shame if it has too much damage to repair.
    My 357 has some fin damage when I got it. If you have the fin pieces you can rivet them back on with some aluminum bar stock or thin sheet.

    The piece of the top fin was missing when I got this saw and the second fin was broken halfway off and bent down. It is now ported and I run it hard, summer and winter and haven't had any issues with it for the two years after rebuilding it.

    It comes in handy for moving around the big stuff. Make sure you get the 3rd function installed on the loader, so you can use a grapple Kubota is going to raise prices in 24, so you might as well buy one this weekend. They probably have 0% financing on new machines :makeitrain"
