The second lowest bidder and most attractive bid was from Trexler's <br />Truck and Tractor Company of Salisbury in the amount of $9,998.00. <br />The Trexler's Truck and Tractor Company provided a Cas= model 485 for its <br />bid package. It is a farm tractor with medium to heavy body structure <br />and protective frame. A major advantage in the Case tractor ov=r tile White <br />brand tractor is its weight approximately 1,452 more pounds. The Case <br />tractor also has thicker steel floor boards and body structure than the <br />White tractor. The Case tractor also has additional advantages in other <br />areas, such as, higher horsepower, larger tires, and additional PTO <br />horsepower.
