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 .

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac ... [Read Article]
