2021 BUDGET <br /> REPLACEMENT FOR UNIT #132 <br />CASE SKID STEER - $60,000 <br /> <br /> <br />Unit #132 is a 1999 Case 85XT Skid Steer. The city currently has the “useful life” of this machine <br />set at 13 years. This machine ha almost 2,500 hours of use and will be 22 years old in 2021. It has been <br />a very reliable piece of equipment for us and its reliability over the years has allowed us to keep it far <br />past its projected “useful life”. Unfortunately, we have recently been having some intermittent issues <br />with the right side hydraulic drive motor. The right side motor has periodically stopped working and left <br />the operator unable to do anything except spin the machine in circles. If the drive motor needs re- <br />placed, it would be a very expensive and time consuming repair. It also has a leaky valve, which causes <br />the hydraulic arms to settle and not stay at the desired height. The “ride control” option on the ma- <br />chine is also not working at the moment, which would need to be addressed. The machine is currently <br />worth around $13,000-$15,000. I believe that at this point in the machine’s life, we are better off <br />putting our money towards a replacement machine rather than to keep this machine in use.
