    Reason for purchase: Replace 1998 model tractor before mowing season.  The existing tractor is not operational and would require extensive repairs (several thousand dollars) before it could be used.   We would like to purchase the tractor on the Kansas State Contract. The base price for the tractor is $48,498.48, the base price for the bucket loader is $7,855.92, for a total price of $56,354.40, which is 28% less than list price.  The new tractor will be equipped with a dump bucket and fitted for future use with a broom attachment which will give us additional snow operations capabilities.  The old unit will be sold on GovDeals.
