What; are these models worth?

Don't have pictures, but I found a guy locally that has 4 tractors that would do what I need right now. All 4 are completely restored with new paint. This guy has been restoring and selling tractors for years. He has a reputation for doing them right, fixing everything mechanically and fixing all the leaks before painting. They all have new or 9+ tires. He also generally asks top dollar for his tractors and won't budge. I haven't talked with him yet and don't know the prices. What would you pay for any of these in pretty much 10+ condition? Also, consider these tractors are 10 minutes from me. I could literally drive one home.

Ford 3600, Ford 4600SU, Ford 3910, Massey Ferguson 245

The 4600 and 3910 have wet brakes and I lean HEAVY towards the Fords but might own a MF if it was the right deal.
 

My top choice would be the 4600SU, same physical size as the 3000/3910 but has the most hp, I can pull a hd 7 ft tiller with my 4000SU but it knows it's there in hard ground, 3910's lower hp would probably struggle with it.
That said the 3910 would be my second choice, can't beat the wet disc brakes those two models have.
 
Agree with 450. 4600SU first choice for mowing duty.

MFs do not sell as well as Fords (or, especially, Kubotas) and do not bring as much.

Cannot provide $ amounts from available information.

does the Ferguson have Multi-power? That's a nice feature.

All are good models and potentially great tools.

They are worth what someone will pay for them. "He also generally asks top dollar for his tractors and won't budge." Doesn't sound like there's much bargaining room, what does he want for them?

They are all 30 years old. "Restored" is an ambiguous term. How many hours on the engines? No leaks, fresh tires (fluid?), and a pretty face is a good start. Top dollar is fine if you get what you pay for.
 
go look on tractor house and see what thay are going for, tha fords are a great tractor, and the massey runs good to with that perkins engine.
