This scheduled purchase will replace the current Holman Stadium mower a, 2002
Toro 2300D reel mower. This mower was purchased used in 2004 and has
serviced the stadium well. The mower has reached a point where the machine wil!
not operate properly giving the field the proper cut it requires. The current mower
will need a complete replacement of the cutting reels, bed knives, and hydraulic
pump. This mower will be turned in as a trade in. The new mower will be a rotary
mower With a 72 inch cut and will have a full roller assembly for stripping. The
rotary style mower will allow the mower to be used at other venues for special
events such as the Columbus Day Soccer Tournament.
This request is consistent with the City Capitol Equipment Reserve Fund (CERF)
detailed schedule. The planned CERF request for FY17 was approved by the
Board of Alderman on June 24, 2015 by R-15-142.
The Mower comes with a2 year 1,500 hours warranty. The Superintendent and
Fleet Manager both recommend this purchase.
