Used Tractor Values

I’m looking at two tractors for a gardening business:
One is a mid-eighties Murray 18hp, cast iron rear end, comes with scraper, box scraper, turn plow, disk and cultivator (no mower!) and brand new ag rear tires. $750
The other is a mid-nineties Craftsman 19.5hp garden tractor with no attachments (and no sleeve hitch installed), but does have a mowing deck. $600
So with the Craftsman I’d have to invest in a $100 sleeve hitch, plus used plow, disk, cultivator and scraper blade.
Which tractor would you buy given the two?

When I use my tractor to mow, should I pick up the gras cuttings or let it sit on the grass and decompose? Why? I have a freind who insisits that I let it sit on the grass. BTW I cut my grass every week.

My parents gave me ear-muffs last year to protect my hearing when mowing the yard with the lawn tractor, but I have never worn them.

I live in Michigan and my neighborhood is loaded with trees. I usually do a half acre lawn for $25. I will be using a tractor for picking up the leaves along with a leaf blower and a “weed whacker”, which means more gas consumption and a lot more physical labor. How much should I charge?

I have a Ford 8N tractor and I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb for how often the hydraulic oil should be changed. When I use this tractor I tend to be using the hydraulics. I put about 100-200 hours a year on this tractor. Also is there is a rule of thumb for how often the oil should be changed?

Where can i find them?

Where can i find them?

I am thinking about selling two of my horses and wondering how much i should charge for them…
My Chevy Blazer- A 9-year-old quarter horse gelding chestnut with a white blaze and four white feet- a wonderfully calm horse allows children of all ages lead him and ride him, he rides, jumps, shows, drives, and baby sits. he neck reins and goes off of leg cues with or without a bridle, he has jumped 3 ft easy and could go higher, he has shown and placed well and keeps a great personality towards everything. He drives quietly and learned in only a week (and a ten year drives him now) nothing gets this horse started and is fine around tractors, dogs, balloons, kids, and baths. I don’t have to work him every week and he will preform great just like if you were to work him every day. If you do work him everyday he will need grain… He is an amazing horse and i am selling him because i can’t afford him for another year of hay. He is a very easy keeper and doesn’t need shoes.
Ebony- a Morgan/Saddle-bred mare 14-years-old beautiful seal brown (black) two white back feet- Very beautiful flashy mare rides and drives she has amazingly tough feet and handles well for farriers (blazer does too) she is up for sale because we don’t have the time for her
