Although the 3100 John Deere <br />is $4,500 higher in cost, it meets the specifications and has more value. <br />Staff has used a 3100 as a try-out and were very satisfied. <br /> <br />The estimated cost was $49,000, and with inclusion of the trade-in it <br />allows the purchase to be well under budget. The tractor has an estimated <br />life of 1 5 years. <br /> <br />Motion by Williams, seconded by Larson, to APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF <br />THE 3100 JOHN DEERE TRACTOR lOADER/BACKHOE FROM MIDWEST <br />MACHINERY, INC.
