Tractor

A tractor is a vehicle that can pull or push various agricultural implements to perform tasks such as ploughing, tilling, planting, cultivating, and fertilizing the land. Tractors are also used in construction, road building, and other industries. Tractors have high torque operation at low speeds, which makes them suitable for heavy-duty work. There are different types of tractors used for different purposes, such as utility tractors, compact tractors, row crop tractors, implement carrier tractors, two-wheel tractors, and garden tractors.

The first tractor was invented by John Froehlich in 1892, who used a gasoline engine to power a steam engine design. He later founded the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine Co, which was acquired by John Deere in 1918.

Tractors have revolutionized agriculture by reducing manual labour and increasing productivity. They have also enabled farmers to use various attachments and implements to perform different tasks efficiently and effectively. Tractors are essential for modern farming and have many uses in agriculture and beyond.
