Like said below , some are better at 10 than others are at 20 . I started driving our H Farmall around when I was 8 or 9 , been a long time ago , it was a 48 model and was almost new . My kids started on the hydro lawn mower when they were 5 or 6 , got the feel of it then went on to the bigger ones a few years later . Depends on the person a lot . Far as pulling , I have seen kids pulling small tractors like a Farmall B , C , H and other brands that size in a class that I think they were in low gear and the dad was walking along side with a string or cable etc connected to a kill switch so he could kill it if something went wrong . I have seen this class a couple times but it was several years ago haven't seen it lately . Maybe that was what was going on on the pull on TV you saw . The pull I saw I didn't think the kids were even 10yrs old but as I recall no body had to use the kill switch and those little guys did a great job , I would like to see them today , this was 10yrs ago I saw the pull . All the places we pull you have to have a drivers licence or be 16 . My boys all started pulling at 16 on the old 4020 , easier to see and then went to the cab tractors . They started driving the bigger tractors in the field when they were around 12-13 .
