Unless this neighbor is in the business of renting tractors and has the proper insurance, I would not do it if you have any respect for him at all.
*YOU* would accept all responsibility, but what happens if you kill yourself using the tractor? Your grieving family will almost certainly succumb to the charms of a personal-injury lawyer and sue your neighbor into oblivion.
