Rentals of units similar to yours run in the $350 - $450 per day range around here. 1/2 day is around $190 - $240. That doesn't include delivery and pickup which can add $50 to $150 depending distance.
Do check your insurance situation as others have suggested. Consider your time too. 3 miles each way plus time doing the work can add up. Fine for a one time thing but could add up if they keep finding more things for you to do. The savings in labor, even if they paid full equipment rental rates will make you the clear best option for any job they need done.
I'm sure it is a worthy cause and one you care about. Just set some reasonable ground rules for how much time (yours and the tractor's) are available.
