[QUOTE="iowafarmer, post: 982003, member: 7792"] I started driving tractor at age 12. I started on the lawn mover at age 10. My dad rode along with me the first few times I drove tractor and I started on hauling manure as its pretty simple and hard to screw up. I wouldn't allow kids to drive a tracotr on their own until they are able to fully push in all of the pedals and demonstrate to me how to properly clutch and brake. Just remember childrens decision making skills are not the same as an adults. So when it does come down being able to make split second decisions on what to do children are not able to do it as quickly. I would start them driving tractor on something easy to due with very little chance for things to go wrong. I would start with either: hauling manure, tillage, or mowing in a large open field without obstacles. That said the only way for them to learn is for them to do it. That involves success and failures. Just try to limit the failures to none that would be life threatening. [/QUOTE]
