I spent two weeks getting this inherited Massey Ferguson running in order to dig up the front garden I have (also herited) in order to plant roses for my late mother’s memory.

That is typical of older tractors, clutch requires splitting the tractor in half. It is still serviceable, only a few dozen bolts, but you need something strong (and safe) on wheels to hold up each half while you work in the middle. Not hard work at all, but it is not quick.
Still mostly the same for modern tractors, except a million more wires and and hoses.
I’ve done a dozen clutch jobs on older tractors with my dad.
In the size range most of us here would be looking at tractors are hydro and don’t have a clutch. There are pros and cons to hydro, but for the size of tractors shows hydro is almost always better. (loader work really wants the infinite variable speed)
