Supervisors to lease their own equipment for summer road mowing
May 21, 2009 - The Wright County Board of Supervisors have decided to let the Secondary Roads Department do their own mowing with leased equipment for at least the next three years.
Following a public hearing, which is required by Iowa code for this type of decision, the Board voted to sign a lease agreement with Diamond Mowers of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. For $13,020 annually for three years, the county will lease both a new 7130 John Deere four-wheel drive tractor and a 120 foot twin rotary mower (back and side). It will include a three year parts and labor warranty on both units, with Wright County having the opportunity to purchase the equipment any time during the lease. At the end of the lease period, the county can buy it out or enter into a new lease with new equipment.
"The company does business throughout the Midwest," said Waid. "Their mowers are a good piece of equipment, and I’m very satisfied with what they do."
