I recently bought 70 lb bags of silica at the local lumberyard for around $4 per bag. I use it in a little siphon blaster on individual parts and it works pretty well. It's kind of slow, but definitely easier than hauling parts to someone else to blast. Gloves, mask, goggles and a face shield are necessities. You will want to wear the safety equipment regardless of what media you use, as there will be fine particles flying around, and I don't imagine having slag or whatever else in your lungs is going to be any better than the silica. I also would never consider blasting a complete tractor unless it was going to be completely disassembled afterwards. I've been around equipment and helped prep it for blasting. It doesn't matter how good of a job you do masking, that sand will get everywhere you don't want it - and be next to impossible to get out.
