The other guys got it right on. Not only gives you a live PTO of sorts but also allows live hydraulics as well. For example, when using a planter and you get to the end of a row, you pull back the hand clutch use the hydraulics to lift the planter and then push the clutch forward to turn around. Works great! Otherwise, one would have to stop, shift to neutral, lift the planter or whatever implement you have and then shift back into gear to turn the corner. As someone else noted, there is no value to a hand clutch once tractors had live hydraulics or PTO, but without the live hydraulics/PTO the hand clutch is a fantastic accessory. Not that I would recommend this now, but it allowed me to operate our old M before I was old enough to push in the foot clutch and shift gears. I could start and stop the tractor using the hand clutch.
