County authorizes sale of 2017 Massey Ferguson tractor for $25,000, approves seasonal tractor rentals
Summary
The board authorized the sale of a 2017 Massey Ferguson tractor to Midway Farm Equipment for $25,000 and approved continued seasonal rental arrangements for tractors used in ditch mowing, with the dealership responsible for maintenance.
Public Works Superintendent Jed Rhubee told the board the county’s 2017 Massey Ferguson tractor was purchased from Midway Farm Equipment and that Midway has offered to buy it back for $25,000, waiving approximately $5,000 in costs previously incurred. Rhubee told the board the proposed rental arrangement would run about six months or 200 hours at an estimated $5 to $10 per hour, with the dealership responsible for maintenance.
The board unanimously authorized the sale of the 2017 Massey Ferguson tractor to Midway Farm Equipment for $25,000 and approved continued seasonal rental of tractors, including one additional tractor, for ditch mowing operations (motion by Gravley, second by Maras). The minutes do not record alternative bids or a secondary appraisal; the decision as recorded is a direct sale and an operational authorization for rentals.
