I grew up with tractors from my dad's landscaping business (old Case Construction Kings, with a PTO and farm-like attachment system rather than a backhoe). It was always funny at a worksite, when one of the college kids he'd hire needed to move a tractor out of the way. They'd get up in the seat and find this mass of unlabeled controls. There were two clutches, two brake pedals, and what looked like a regular shift lever on the floor and a regular accelerator pedal, plus all these levers they didn't recognize. They'd try to shift and it wouldn't move at all. The floor gear shift was really just a range selector. Forward and reverse were on a shuttle lever on the steering column, and the PTO had its own transmission system, plus there was a global throttle lever in addition to the floor pedal. Oh, and dad didn't even own a trailer. He'd drive those things on city streets at 30mph to get to jobs. It was insane in hindsight. He could have crushed a car with the bucket. And I'd ride at city street speeds sitting on a fender above an open back tire. Sheesh.
