Well, an average M isn't worth much more than an average H. An average H in my area is worth around $500. An average M in my area would be around $700 or so. Smaller tractors seem to be worth more (referring to the c and smaller). Why I don't know for sure but I speculate that it is becuase they take up less space when you store them inside and perhaps fewer were made. A friend of mine has an average C and he priced it to me around a $1000 to $1500. I don't know if the offer is out of the ball park (maybe a little high) but I refuse to pay more money for a smaller sized tractor. Why pay $1500 for a C when you can buy 3 H's or 2 M's for the same money. You can get alot more done with a bigger tractor to boot. The only advantage I can see is you can drive a C into an average sized garage door. An H or an M is likely to hit exhaust pipe or steering wheel on the top of door and will take up more space inside your 2 car garage. I sawed the exhaust pipe off of my H so it will fit into an average door. But now I store it in bigger shed. An M would be a little taller and what not. Alot of people get there mind set on smaller tractors or want one of each size and therefore look pretty hard at smaller tractors, while loosing sight of bigger tractors selling cheaper. A C would be maybe more convenient for the boy to work on since the parts would be lighter. As far as turning him loose driving one, if he is old enough, it wouldn't be much more dangerous than having him drive one bigger than a C. I was driving an H and M as soon as my legs were long enough to push the clutch in. Just my 2 cents worth.
