I don't think they have classes like that around here, kind of a poor area and not much money for school programs. way back when when I was a kid about 12-13, Dad and Grandpa had me running a TD6 bulldozer, a 50s model Case backhoe, and a 51 Ferguson TO20 but slow and easy was the rule!!. Break the rule and off the machine.High gear was out of the question. Grandpa had me drive his 404 International combine and cut beans but since I was probly 5 or 6 (I wasn't even in preschool then)I had to sit on his lap so he could work the pedals but I steered and raised the cutter on the turnarounds. I remember that day like it was yesterday. the combine didn't have a cab and the dust would fly! Grandma always made Grandpa wear a bandana and me too that day! She also would broom him off outside when he came in for dinner. Most of my experiance was on the TO 20 and have logged tons of hours bushhogging and hauling fence post length logs on forks up the hill backwards to where we cut them down for firewood.
