I have seen a few REs suggesting a tractor equipped with a hand clutch,as a starter tractor for young operators(easier to handle).I think this is a good idea, my Case SC has one and it works great. However when I first got my SC a mechanic told me he had seen a few people hurt by tractors equipped as such,usually by standing behind tractor and trying to back it up to a implement(momentum of tractor knuckles the clutch in). Most of us that have been raised around equipment know/remember these things(usually for a reason). There is a huge emphasis on safety nowadays and this is good but with a lot of new people getting into the old tractor thing for the first time,I thouhgt this was worth a mention.
