What Under $25,000 Gets You
What to Expect
Disposal-age machines from other municipal fleets or auctions. 8,000-12,000+ hours typical. May still be serviceable for light duty.
Tradeoffs
Unreliable for primary municipal operations. Breakdown during snow events creates public safety issues. Parts availability diminishing for very old models.
Best Strategy
Only suitable as a backup/reserve machine. GovPlanet and Ritchie Bros. often have municipal surplus equipment at these prices.
