Is there such a thing as a garden/yard tractor "blue book" on the web?
We have a 1980′s vintage John Deere "116" yard tractor ready for sale. I need some sort of reference to estimate resale value because I am clueless as to it’s marketable price. Have others out there found web help for used garden tractor pricing?
Which garden tractor should I buy?
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. 0
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. 0
So with the Craftsman I’d have to invest in a 0 sleeve hitch, plus used plow, disk, cultivator and scraper blade.
Which tractor would you buy given the two?
I went ahead and bought the Murray, since others have said newer Craftsman tractors aren’t anything like they used to be. I used to have a Murray lawn mower and it was garbage, so I was hesitant. This tractor is nothing like the smaller ones they used to sell. Thanks for your suggestions & advice!!
Is the purchase of a garden tractor a negotiable price, or a hard price?
And is there an average mark-up on these things?
I know how to buy cars, but this is my first "large yard implement" purchase, and I’m curious.

Also, do they do trade-ins?
