Another thing that is a selling point for me to get a Farmall over a Deere, is shifting.
I will use my 1952 Super C and 1947 JD B as examples:
The B, pulling something or not, can just barely be shifted on the go, have to stop, and then work the engine REALLY hard to get a load back moving in road gear again, and then if you are going up a hill and start running out of power, you had better hope like he!! that thing has good brakes!!!
The SC, I use ALL the time, that is my Go-To tractor, it will do anything I have asked it, even drug my dads dead GM up to the shop (touch and go to say the least)
But when I hook onto something, I can start out in first, go 2 or 3 feet, bump into 2nd, 4 or 5 feet, jump up into 3rd, 10 feet max speed, and then drop it into 4th, and I am rolling! Can't do that with a JD, or any hand clutch that I know of?
It is VERY clear that we all have different opinions, but her is another, my mother. I am not saying it would ever happen, but should I pinch myself, flop something ontop of me, etc, she needs to be able to run stuff. I have taught her how to manage my back hoe, but she can't start it.
I know for a fact, that if it was a life and death situation, I would be dead before she ever got to me with a hand clutch...... I have seen her try, not hap-nen! She loves my Farmall C, and is a very good drive at it (first clutch SHE ever drove!) so I know that an H/M would be close enough that she could get it figured out, IF she could keep her head on straight.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
