What Is Tractor? A tractor is a farm vehicle created to provide high traction effort (pulling force) at slow speeds. It is mainly used in agriculture or construction. However, the term tractor is derived from the Latin trahere, meaning "to pull".

What Are the Uses of Tractors?

Tractors are generally associated with agriculture as farmers use them to plough, till, sow, and harvest. 

However, in a broad concept, a tractor's usage depends on its variant. For instance, a utility tractor is useful for farming purposes; on the other hand, industrial tractors find their use in logging and lifting heavy loads.

Therefore, various industries use different tractors to sustain their daily operations.
