Do you have a neutral safety switch?
That is what I have. Tractor must be in N to start.. Also electric/hydraulic PTO must be OFF to start. Other than that.. it is good to go.

One major reason I would never go back to gear tractor. When hooking up I put in low set parking brake lightly touch front or rear pedal from ground to make 1/8 inch adjustments as needed. Don't tell OSHA or safety police . No more climb on push in clutch put in gear inch forward or backwards then repeat, repeat and repeat.
Feels like being a Sea Captain!
My DK45 has gears but telescoping lower arms make hookup fairly easy without much tweaking the tractor position. Especially so with my mower which has inches of vertical motion at the clevis.
If you have a loader on the tractor it works good to put the bucket in the dump position then put it on the ground with some ground pressure, then you can just reach in the cab door and move the tractor back and forth by rolling the bucket, flat ground of course.
