The document discusses the history and development of tractors. It begins by explaining that the word "tractor" comes from the Latin word meaning "to pull or drag". Originally, tractors used steam engines as their power source in the early 1900s but then internal combustion engines became most common. Diesel fuel became the predominant fuel for tractors by 1960. The document then defines a tractor as a vehicle designed to provide high torque at slow speeds for hauling trailers or machinery, especially for agricultural tasks like tilling. It describes the various types of farm tractors used for different agricultural operations and their features. In closing, it lists some of the broad benefits of four-wheel tractors such as their ability to pull cult

Prodi : Agroteknologi TRACTOR The word tractor was taken from Latin, meaning trahere "interesting". Some say the tractor is a combination of said traction motor, the motor that interesting. Originally used to shorten the description "an interesting machine or vehicle wagon or plow, to replace the term" towing machine "(traction engine). Tractor initially using a steam engine. In the early 20th century, the internal combustion engine becomes the main power source selection tractor. Between 1900 to 1960, petrol became the main fuel, and kerosene and ethanol as an alternative fuel. Dieselisasi peaked in 1960, and modern agricultural tractors generally use a diesel engine that has an output power between 18 and 575 horsepower (15-480 kW). A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction. 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, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. 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. The most common use of the term "tractor" is for the vehicles used on farms. The farm tractor is used for pulling or pushing agricultural machinery or trailers, for plowing, tilling, disking, harrowing, planting, and similar tasks. A farm tractor used to power a pump for irrigating a plot of land. A variety of specialty farm tractors have been developed for particular uses. These include "row crop" tractors with adjustable tread width to allow the tractor to pass down rows of corn, tomatoes or other crops without crushing the plants, "wheatland" or "standard" tractors with fixed wheels and a lower center of gravity for plowing and other heavy field work for broadcast crops, and "high crop" tractors with adjustable tread and increased ground clearance, often used in the cultivation of cotton and other high-growing row crop plant operations, and "utility tractors", typically smaller tractors with a low center of gravity and short turning radius, used for general purposes around the farmstead. Many utility tractors are used for nonfarm grading, landscape maintenance and excavation purposes, particularly with loaders, backhoes, pallet forks and similar devices. Small garden or lawn tractors designed for suburban and semirural gardening and landscape maintenance also exist in a variety of configurations. Broadly speaking, the benefits of four-wheel tractor, namely: 1. Attractive and using a cultivator
2. Attractive planter (transplanter)
3. Attractive engine muck 4. Boom sprayer 5. Towing a trailers 6. Other machinery mover
