Did it long ago with a truck. Forget about the clutch mess. Get the tractor ready to fire. Put the rope around the top of the gear lever, put it in a gear which is away(back) from the truck, like 2nd or 4th.
Attach your truck, and leave a little slack in the rope to the gear lever, and run it in the window of the truck. Start pulling, you may have to jerk it a bit to get the engine turning over if the tires are poor. It'll drag some, but eventually it'll crank over. Once it starts, give the gear rope a jerk, and pull it into N. Depending on the shift pattern, try to have it jerk toward a lower gear, like from 2 to 1, or 4 to 3 just in case.
If you are successful jerking it into N, stop the truck, go back to the tractor, and you are all set. If you jerked too hard, and pulled it into the next gear, it's going to whack the back of the truck and stop. Start over, give less jerk on the gear lever rope.
This assures you remain safely in a big metal box until you KNOW the tractor is running, but out of gear. Also, it's always tied to the truck, so it can't run away until you untie it.
