Ewing Village Board of Trustees approved applying for United States Department of Agriculture grant, totaling $50,000, to assist with the purchase of a payloader.
The vote was taken during a 7 p.m. special meeting, Monday, at city hall.
Chairman James Ramold said officials are looking at different options, with prices ranging from $101,000 to $130,000.
Trustee Dustin Wright said prices vary, depending on the types and number of attachments included with the equipment purchase.
"There's not a lot of difference between the equipment. You're better off to go with a new one," said trustee Dustin Jorgensen.
Village clerk Sharon Swails said the equipment will include three attachments, a bucket, forks and a blade.
The vote was unanimous. Trustees Kane Fry and Katie Cunningham were not present.
