what is tractor

A tractor is an engineering vehicle designed to deliver a high tractive effort at slow speeds, primarily used for hauling trailers or machinery in agriculture, mining, or construction. Tractors are used in various forms such as bulldozers, scrapers, and diggers in agriculture, construction, and road building. They are low-speed vehicles designed to provide traction for pulling things off-road, commonly used by farmers to haul equipment and trailers, plow, till, disk, harrow, and perform similar tasks. Tractors can also be used for snow removal and are capable of moving heavy materials, clearing brush, and powering machinery with the use of various attachments. The term "tractor" is derived from the Latin word "trahere," which means "to pull".
