[AT] Pulled The Trigger Today!

[charlie hill]

Yeah that is essentially what I was thinking except I'd use the power 
director (hand clutch)
on the D-14's.  One thing is for sure, I'd have kill switches on both 
ignitions attached to a common
lanyard of some sort.

Most of the ones I've seen use hydraulics to control the front tractors
steering and clutch. Some used linkage for the throttles. Most of them
seemed to be operated by starting both engines in neutral, operate valve
on second tractor to hold in clutch on first tractor, shift into gear,
then go to second tractor and shift into same gear. Slowly release front
clutch cylinder then second clutch.
