1. Read the owner’s manual to become familiar with the tractor and its components. Familiarizing yourself with the Massey Ferguson 35 will make the driving process easier and safer.
2. Start the engine by depressing the clutch pedal and turning the key.
3. Move the transmission lever to the desired gear to begin moving the tractor.
