-The higher octane is not going to do a lick of good performance wise on an old low compression engine.
-If the tractor as said above mainly sits around then it is not seeing enough use to ever have valve issues from no lead fuel.
-Just fired up a truck we had sitting out back, it had not been touched in 12 years, dumped 5 gal of fresh gas into the 1/4 tank that was still in the truck and it ran fine.
-Swather, bale truck, generator, water pumps, vintage vehicles, etc around here are often only used once a year, sometimes once every 2-3 years yet they all fire up and run fine without any special additives or care.

P.S. All my vehicles sit outside all winter long with the battery's in them and I do not own a single battery maintainer yet the average life of a battery for us is 6-9 years.
