I will add this about the magneto vs the "mechanical" ignition: If the starting crank speed is low, then the magnet rotating in the magneto coil doesn't generate much voltage (which is proportional to the speed of turning), perhaps not generating enough to spark well. Some systems (though not on tractors, afaik) can gear up the magnet rotation while starting. The mechanical system generates the same voltage whether starting or running (the battery voltage, of course).

You can find out more about these systems at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_system and lots of other places - remember that Google is your friend, particularly for general questions like this.
