Suwannee County is planning to replace ten leased tractors used for trimming and mowing. The county intends to lease one new tractor with a bat-wing mower and two tractors with grapple rakes. Additionally, they plan to lease-to-own two specialized mowing units. This change aims to reduce the need for bat-wing mowers and allow staff to focus on tree trimming and right-of-way maintenance. The new equipment will be acquired through existing bids with the Florida Sheriff's Association. This is an early stage of the process, with the Board of County Commissioners needing to approve the lease agreements. The work will involve the delivery and setup of new heavy equipment, potentially requiring specialized operators and maintenance services. Local suppliers and service providers for heavy equipment, maintenance, and related parts could find opportunities by engaging with the county early in this process, before final contracts are awarded.
