Age isn't the critical criteria, maturity is. My 10 year old grandson routinely drives my JD750 with little or no direct supervision while helping me with various tasks. It's a very stable tractor, and ground speed in first gear makes a snail look like Jeffy Gordon. No power equipment on the rear, tho I do let him run the backhoe (with very close supervision) and carry an occasional load in the bucket (again, very close supervision). He used the bucket to load a load of wood chips on the trailer the other day, his first time running the FEL without sittin' in Grampy's lap to do it. Just as proud as he could be.

He's a typical 10 year old, leaves stuff laying around, has an attention span measured in nano-seconds, but when he's on that tractor, he's all business, and he knows the first cut up is his last. Good way to get them started on learning a little responsibility, if you choose the task and the terrain carefully.
