It depends partly on the model, but...

Smaller (garden tractors and lawn mowers) are starting by pushing in the break and turning the ignition key. They will not start if the PTO is on or the driver is not sitting on the seat.

Larger machines (agricultural use) are started by turning the ignition key, then setting the engine to 1200 rpm and letting it idle (no load) for about two minutes (four if cold outside) to warm up the engine (turbocharger needs the heat). You do not need to hold in the clutch or breaks. They will not start if the driver is not sitting on the seat, the PTO is on or if it is in gear.
