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.
