Mayfield Council Approves Purchase of New Tractor; Older Unit to Be Surplused
Summary
Council approved replacing an aging municipal tractor with a new Kubota (budgeted); staff said the new unit will reduce mowing costs and the old tractor will be sold with proceeds returned to the general fund.
The council approved purchasing a new tractor (brand discussed: Kubota) that was already budgeted for the fiscal year. Staff said the new tractor is better suited to roadside mowing and park work than the town’s current older equipment and that warranties and serviceability were a consideration.
Council members discussed financing options and noted the purchase was in the budget. The plan is to surplus the older tractor at auction or by sale and apply proceeds to the town general fund. Members also discussed investigating state surplus equipment as an alternative, but voted to proceed with the new purchase so the town would have a warranty and immediate replacement equipment available.
