[Evans, Marv]

A medium sized tractor with a loader and box scraper is something you'll find a thousand ways to use. If you have a lot of area to mow, a pull behind mower is maybe what you'll need. If it's not a huge amount of mowing area, a good string mower is a good bet. You can spread manure with the loader bucket or a drag behing landscape rake. I can't comment on horses, since I'd never consider the expense and time they require.
