Common sense is important. A blanket statement like no riding a passenger is just silly. Endangering a child by having him/her sitting on a fender is silly. But I've ridden my kids in my lap, and later taught my kids how to drive tractors at young ages in non threatening areas (flat, nothing to hit). It's built their self confidence, kept us bonded, and been all beneficial. I read on the Ford board about someone who's 15 year old grandkid wanted to drive the tractor. Instead of a perfect oppurtunity to bridge a generation gap or two, the owner said that they could ride together, 15 year old in his lap. Of course a 15 year old is gonna resent that and said no, and an oppurtunity was lost. On the other hand, when I was a kid I sued to drive a baler rig, and I was too small to push the clutch, so the stacker (operator) would jump off the flat wagon, run up, jump on the tractor to turn it for me. That to me is heading fr a Darwin. Take Care Steve
