In 1974 I went to work in the summers at a farm/ranch a couple of hours away from where my family lived. The fellow I worked for had a 4020 that was his newest (and biggest) tractor. I spent many hours on that working summer fallow.
As I remember the transmission dang near took a calculus degree to figure out at first which gear you were in, but then I had never been on ay type of equipment before then.
They also had a TD6 and Ford 8N. The 8N was used primarily for raking hay, and I managed to run over myself with it hooking up to the hay rake. I have never since used my hand on the clutch pedal while standing next to a tractor. My hand slipped of the pedal and the rear tire walked right up my right leg and pushed my over. Worst part was I had to get up and chase the tractor to get it stopped; fortunately it was in first gear so not that hard to catch. Dumb kid mistake, fortunately I lived through a lot of those.....like getting my trousers ripped of by the pto.

Guy I’m leased to had an emergency out of state so I had to help out one of his guys. The light panel on a KW is stupid. I can’t belive an engineer would ever sign off on that nonsense?
I accidentally ran over the creeper thou. Notice the tire tracks?
