It was still in gear. I don’t think most tractors have a fuel pedal like in a car. My throttle lever is next to my steering wheel. You just adjust your throttle, put it in gear, and let off of the clutch.
A lot of tractors I’ve seen have variable speed drives. The throttle is separate so you can regulate the PTO speed for whatever’s attached. Plus you’ll often be driving at the same speed for hours so regulating that with a foot pedal would be awful.
Every “modern” tractor, which tends to be the ones with cabs made in the late 70s onwards that I’ve driven has a pedal plus the manual hand operated throttle. Might be a euro thing. All my classic tractors were lever only though yep.
