[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 982048, member: 14544"] My dad had me driving a 65 MF at 8 or 9 . He was pretty careful overall with what he let me do growing up, and he was a pretty intelligent guy. But I needed more instruction the first time driving the tractor. I had driven pickups since I could reach the pedals, but clutches were new to me. Popped the clutch on the first time taking off with him hanging on the back (bad decision with an implement behind). Through him on to the spring tooth. I mashed on the break- cause I was just learning about clutches and was freaked out- thought I ran over him with the implement. Took a couple of seconds then remembered the clutch. He was perfectly okay, but both of us were really shaken up. Really need to use your head when you train them. He was always pressed for time, but not taking a couple minutes to unhook the implement and letting me learn to drive it before pulling an implement almost cost him his life. I've had plenty of other pucker moments, but none have bothered me as much. Something to ponder. [/QUOTE]
