Why not compromise and offer him $2750? Tell your friend that you've done some research and based on expert opinions of the subject you think it's a fair price for the tractor pictured.

Personally I think a belly mounted mower is best for finish cutting. Rigid 3-point mounted mowers do not track well in turns and will miss spots. They also do not float and will scalp over uneven terrain.

I just finished my first season with my Super A and 5ft Woods mower. Overall I'm very pleased. Finish quality is excellent. If you have large expanses of turf that is un-cluttered with plantings, the H should make short work of it. As Hugh mentioned, if you have to do a lot of close work around trees and such, you may find that a smaller tractor is better. I too have skinned up trees and exhaust parts, and plan to modify my muffler for next season so that it points forward instead of strait up. This may not work as I may end up with a face full of exhaust but I'm going to try it anyway for clearance.

I would also recommend turf tires on the rear and implement tires on the front, to minimize ruts and damage during tight turns. Good luck with your new property!
