Like said below , some are better at 10 than others are at 20 . I started driving our H Farmall around when I was 8 or 9 , been a long time ago , it was a 48 model and was almost new .
My kids started on the hydro lawn mower when they were 5 or 6 , got the feel of it then went on to the bigger ones a few years later . Depends on the person a lot .
Far as pulling , I have seen kids pulling small tractors like a Farmall B , C , H and other brands that size in a class that I think they were in low gear and the dad was walking along side with a string or cable etc connected to a kill switch so he could kill it if something went wrong . I have seen this class a couple times but it was several years ago haven't seen it lately . Maybe that was what was going on on the pull on TV you saw . The pull I saw I didn't think the kids were even 10yrs old but as I recall no body had to use the kill switch and those little guys did a great job , I would like to see them today , this was 10yrs ago I saw the pull .
All the places we pull you have to have a drivers licence or be 16 . My boys all started pulling at 16 on the old 4020 , easier to see and then went to the cab tractors . They started driving the bigger tractors in the field when they were around 12-13 .

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
