Has anyone perfected this? I normally work alone, and sometimes I just need to pull start a tractor. Usually one of my MF65s, but the process would be similar for any. I'm thinking about this: First, tie the tractor steering straight. Then use a short rope between the truck and the tractor. Next, use a spring or bungee cord to pull and hold the tractor clutch pedal down, (disengaged) then attach a rope against the bungee to allow the engaging of the tractor clutch from the driver's seat of the pickup truck while pulling the tractor, get up to speed and engage the clutch, when I hear it start, release the rope, and the bungee will return the clutch to disengage, and I stop the pulling truck, now with the tractor engine running. Has anyone tried this? Or am I nuts? How about an electric servo on the clutch with a remote control? I know that others have thought of trying this! Admit it! Anyone done it?
