AI overview
A tractor is an engineering vehicle designed to deliver high pulling power at slow speeds, making it ideal for hauling trailers and machinery in agriculture, mining, and construction. Tractors revolutionized farming by mechanizing agricultural tasks like tilling and other work that was previously done by hand or animal power.

Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally) tillage, and now many more. Agricultural implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanised.
