A brief history of tractors
The name “tractor” comes from the Latin word “tractus” – the same word that’s used as a root for words like “traction” and “tractive”. As the name would suggest, then, tractors are machines made for pulling things – perhaps slowly, but securely and reliably. Originally conceived as a replacement for working animals such as oxen or horses, some of the first tractors were made by Henry Ford, who was driven by the ambition to create something that would work better than a horse when it comes to performing heavy farming work. Early tractors used steam traction engines and were powered by coal. As time went on, they became both lighter and more powerful and tractors became far more than simple horse replacements. Nowadays, tractors come equipped with powerful diesel engines, allowing them to pull incredibly big, heavy loads. This is achieved through the tractor’s unique gearbox that converts high-speed revolutions of the engine into the low-speed revolutions of the wheels.

A multitude of uses
Pulling large loads is the broadest definition by which you can describe a tractor’s use, but the truth of the matter is that behind that there are a number of practical applications that a tractor can be used for. Brush hogging, for example, is the perfect task for a tractor. You can take care of the weeds on your property in a quick, efficient manner, on a large scale, without needing to comb your entire field by hand. With the right attachment, your tractor can be an efficient weed mower, and you’ll save tons of time by making sure that your crops are weed-free. Clearing rocks, trees, or any other debris off your land is another thing a tractor can handle efficiently for you, all thanks to its excellent pulling properties. With special attachments known as brush pullers, among others, the tractor is one of the best tools that you can use for land clearing out there.
Of course, one of the most common purposes for which tractors are used is land cultivations. With ploughs, disks , seed drills, and the like, tractors are very frequently used for cultivating plots of land of various sizes. Though that’s the most popular use for a tractor by far, there are still more purposes that they can be used for, such as landscaping, livestock care & feeding, emergency transport, fence building, landscaping, construction projects, harvesting, and many, many more. Regardless of what type of work you need done on your farm, it’s pretty much guaranteed that a tractor can help you by making your work substantially easier for you. So what are you waiting for?
