Never too young! I agree. My brother and I where operating equipment as soon as we could safely reach the controls. Far too young by today's standards. The big difference was Grand Fathers, Dad, and Uncles where great trainers/supervisors. We did do some things that probably weren't too smart such as my my younger brother and I would be driving/riding the 8N Ford, he was too small to reach the pedals, I would jump off far enough back to open gates and let him drive through, I would then close the gate and catch up with him.
Only close call I ever remember having was raising the rear wheel off the ground on a JD A with loader and tricycle front end. Because I had been warned, I knew to watch for it and drop the loader and reposition the load.
I started my son and daughter on a 3hp go cart and then riding mower with blocks on the pedals and in low gear. By the time they went to Drivers ed to learn to drive the car their was very little of a learning curve.
