Supervisors dish out funds for mower
Chickasaw County Engineer Dusten Rolando requested funds last week from the Board of Supervisors to replace a tractor that was lost in a fire last year.And it was quite a lot of funds.The state bid price for a 2017 John Deere 6120E tractor mower with a full new Diamond blade that is “basically new” with 124 hours of use from Diamond Mowers of Sioux Falls, S.D., was $139,356, as budgeted in this fiscal year. The warranty is included and will go through 2019.— For more on this story, see the June 12 New Hampton Tribune.
