I know, they are "nice", but...I guess I may be giving away my age..But.. When that was all we had..we didn't have any problems operating a Bush Hog, Baler..or anything else with no "Live PTO", live hydrolics and power steering was certainly never a consideration...!!
Once you get used to operating non-live PTO, you learn how to slip in and out of gear, even shift gears (slipping gears) like an automatic transmission.. I definitely prefer NOT to use an over-running clutch on the PTO, as I WANT to be able to FORCE the PTO-driven equipment to STOP, if I need to... ( I demand that the brakes WORK, you see)..!!
I realize, most are accustomed to live PTO and Hydrolics and they are fine additions.. What seems to not be realized is that those "Older" tractors can and will "do the job well".!! I can do just as well with my JD "B" as I can with the JD 520, or AC WD-45. Years ago, my neighbor Bush Hogged all over with his 9N and 5' Bush Hog..seems he had a weight on the front.. Some have even told me those "Red Blobs" work OK too..!! (never had one, but I drove one ONCE).! Plenty to choose from and the prices are very good..just don't buy any "Pig in-a-Poke"..make sure it is a "Good One"..!!
What you must have is a properly operational piece of equipment and become fully AWARE of how to operate it...

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
