Alberta, Canada | Got to thinking about what someone mentioned before, about those complicated (Deere) CommandArms
Now as for getting in, and moving the tractor out of the way across the yard, or even transporting it. Are you going to tell me, that this is more complicated than say, the old Sound Guard cabs? Or say an NH 8340, that from parked you had to do:
Clutch to start tractor.
Turn Key
Floor-Mounted Parking Brake
High/Low
Forward = 5-8 / Back = 1/4
Right hand shuttle shift with
Clutch to ease from a stop.

Turn Key
Place hand on single control lever. Forward = moves forward, farther you push faster it goes. Pull it back to stop, pull it back farther to reverse, again, farther you push faster you go.
Now tell me, if you had your in-laws from the city come out, and without one word of instruction, told them to go move the tractor across the yard, which one would they have more trouble with?
Sure once you get into field work and timers and setting up stuff like HMS etc, it gets more complicated. But still, you set it up, then send the in-law out and tell him to push a button when he gets to the end of the field, versus making them do EVERYTHING on their own with an old tractor.
They're as simple or as complicated as you want them, or to match the task at hand.
