Kids and tractors

[oldpilgrim]

all of my granddaughters love my tractors. They start out on the Cub Cadet lawn tractor then they like to drive the 3016.

Here's my 9 yo. I pick her up from the bus at the end of my long driveway and she drives it home. I usually ride with her on the fender but I let her take it for a solo run today. Notice the backpack she's still wearing, It helps her reach the pedals.

My 15 yo has used it helping me move dirt and rocks. She's pretty good with the bucket now.

My daughter loves to drive around the field. She's 5.

This was just a photo op, she always wears her seat belt when it's moving. I've got a video of her driving all over the field but don't know how to attach it from my phone.

Riding on the fender is a terrible thing to show a 9 year old. One wrong turn and she can run over you. I have a friend that was severely injured in this manner. Bad memories for the driver and my injured friend

My boys are 12 and 13 years old. They're getting tractor lessons finally. I would have started teaching them much sooner but didn't want to run afoul of the Safety Nazis we have these days.

I started my son at eight,but it was an open field . I also did not ride on the fender

One wrong turn and she can run over you.

at idle speed, on flat ground, and me holding onto the rops and canopy, I wasn't concerned.

I don't own a backhoe so I rented this one. The granddaughter wanted learn to operate it.

Son learned how to operate the MX5100 at 12 - (Start it, move it in low, safely park it, etc)
The backhoe at 13.
Been driving ATV's since 7 and side by sides from 12
Now turning 15 and I guess it is time he learns how to drive a truck... oh boy

This is my youngest kid's very own tractor. My wife and I rebuilt it for his 7th birthday. Still pulls a set of plows like it's nothing.

First tractor I learned on was a 5211 zetor cutting and raking hay when I was 8. Felt like a champ when I got into a 8111 cab to start baling hay

My nine year old daughter has been playing with mine since I first got it, a little more than a year ago. It's fun to watch her hand/eye coordination improve as time wears on!
