How Do You Drive A Farm Tractor?
A farm tractor is a relatively easy piece of equipment to drive. It uses the same basic principle as a standard transmission car, but is a little more forgiving when it comes to the clutch. If you know how to operate any sort of automobile—even an automatic transmission—you should be able to pick up tractor skills with a single session of driving a farm tractor around. Make sure the tractor is in neutral, then depress both the clutch and the brake pedal, and start it up. Release the parking brake if it’s engaged. Keep the clutch fully depressed as you put the tractor into a low gear. Slowly take your foot off the clutch to engage the tractor. Steer the tractor just as you would steer a car, grasping the wheel in both hands and turning it slowly in the direction you want to go. Various tractors feel different in their steering, so you should practice turning in both directions to get a feel for the tractor you’re driving.
