Your selling price will be determined by condition, location, and urgency to sell. Tractorhouse.com will give you and idea of comparable tractor prices. If you try to sell as is, expect no more than half of what it would bring if it starts and runs. Setting 10 years, definitely needs a battery, most likely carburetor work and sidewalls of the tires are most likely cracked from setting. The tires will have a flat spot if and when they roll again even if the tread is good. That makes for a rough ride.

I have yet to see a tractor with a suspension. I take the rough ride as normal and the seat spring contraption on my jd's as some sort a an inside joke. Its only there so the seat doesn't slam down when I flip the hinge back after I power wash the guts. Actually the oem seat, as ridiculously expensive as they are, don't break like the universal does. That's why they sell seat cushions.

Don’t know of any compact tractors that have a suspension.
That said big MFD farm tractors can be purchased with a front suspension now and likely for around the past ten years or so.

Like I have said in the past, bought both my john deeres from the stealership in 1999. I have not been back or have needed to since. Buy once cry once you get what you pay for so long as it isn't new or BMW/ Audi. I haven't babied my small tractors but for diligent maintenance. They have plowed, pulled jd14t s, two allis chalmers all crops one corn head the other grain, even helped me dig out a 20x40 inground pool. But that is because they are simple, no automatic transmission, no cab, just a crap seat, top n tilt, front end hyd for a grapple. A suspension is just another weakness to fail, bet that tractor has computer modules.
After some research, prices for a running condition ranged from $1350 (thanks Hayfarmer) to $2500. Although the tractor was sunk about 4" of dirt, it rolled out of barn with ease. Clutch was frozen, but shifted in and out of gear ok. Rears are loaded, and rims are close to trash. Surprised all tires held air, they were just down a few pounds. It looked like just the fuel system was tinkered with, as owner told me. I posted for $700, got a couple of offers for a few hundred first day. Sold on second day for $625. I posted a few out of barn pics. Wife of owner was thrilled with cash. Offered me some for my troubles, but that only diminishes my will to do good deeds. My parents were lifelong volunteers, into their 70's.
Thanks to those who helped on here. I appreciate it.
6' box blade is still for sale. Asking $675, only low ballers so far. $300 was highest price.
