I was just a 9 yr.old girl when my farmer uncle was short-handed loading bales in a trailer - so he told me to jump on the tractor and drive LOL!!!

It was a Massey Ferguson. I remember that like it was yesterday!!!!! I done good!

I started driving a big ford tractor when I was 6 or 7. GrandDad was harvesting watermelons, and I was told to let the clutch out and drive straight down the row. Push in the clutch when they yelled. I was too small to turn the tractor with trailer around, but I could start and stop it by releasing or depressing the clutch!
Good memories!!
