Since I have had so much time on my hands lately, I've been thinking of creative ways to spend money and perhaps get my hands greasy at the same time. One thing I have been thinking is about getting a "starter" tractor for my children. My oldest daughter is 13 and my oldest son is 11. Both have good heads on their shoulders and can be trusted around machinery. Additionally, they have both been after me to teach them how to drive a tractor. I've let both of them take a spin on the D17 in the field (with me right with them just in case). I also have a Ford 5000, but I really couldn't be on the tractor while they drove it, so neither has driven it as yet. I know there are some major opinions on this site about children and tractors. I'm not reckless in my own life, and I'm even less reckless with my children's lives, so there is no reason for soap boxes. Additionally, I personally am partial to Allis or perhaps Ford tractors. That being said, what are some good tractor models on which a young person could learn? What characteristics for such a tractor would you choose? Additionally, what kind of tractor work would be appropriate for a young person? I've already thought of raking hay next summer. What work would really be out of line for a teenager? Anyway, as I said, it is a rainy, muddy day here and I got the chores done early. Nothing to do but think about next year. Christopher
