Lead acid batteries are good if they can stay up on charge. Every time they get discharged a part of them dies. A deep cycle marine battery is needed if the battery is going to experience periodic discharge to any extent.
If this battery was in a state of large discharge for any length of time it is likely junk.

Thats a link where there is a lot to know on batteries.
Your battery is likely sulfated. Look it up on the link.
A slow charge is what is needed.
A 6 volt tractor needs all the help it can get.
I would get another battery.
Don't allow batteries to be discharged.
Charge them up as soon as you can.
