Public works outlines compact tractor purchase and attachments to replace aging equipment
Summary
Public works staff proposed buying a Kubota compact tractor with multiple attachments (snowblower, sweeper, mower, forks) to replace an older John Deere that is rusting and hard to maintain; committee asked about brands, trade‑ins and lead times.
Public works staff told the committee that the current John Deere tractor is showing age and rust and that parts are increasingly hard to source; staff proposed purchasing a Kubota compact tractor with an array of attachments to perform mowing, snow removal and light lifting.
Committee members asked whether attachments can be selected a la carte, whether other brands were considered and about lead times; staff said attachments are modular and that they would solicit additional quotes and consider trade‑in values before finalizing a recommendation.
