Tractors used for hauling machines or trailers used in the construction industry or agriculture are specifically designed vehicles that are made to deliver high torque or tractive effort at low speeds. Commonly, this term describes the distinctive farm vehicle. This is because they are used to tow agricultural implements and also may be used to supply power to mechanized implements.
When, at slow speed, you want higher tractive effort or as it is commonly known as torque, then there is a specially designed vehicle called the tractor. The purpose may be hauling of machinery or a trailer that is used in agriculture as well as in the construction industry. However, this term is commonly used for describing a distinctive farm vehicle.
In Germany, Spain, Ireland, Argentina, Australia, India and Britain, tractor implies farm tractor, generally speaking. However, in Canada and US, it may additionally refer to the tractor's trailer.
Portable engines were the first farm implements that were powered in the early 1800s. These were steam engines that made use of wheels and were used to drive the mechanical farm machines using a flexible belt. Then in about 1850, these were modernized to give the first traction engines and of course they were readily adopted for use in agriculture.
If you talk about the first tractor engines, then they were ploughing engines that were powered by steam. Using a cable wire, a pair of these tractor engines were used for hauling a plough between them, back and forth across the field. In US, the condition of soils often permitted a direct-haul plough using a steam engine. However, in the UK and other places used ploughing engines that resulted in cable-hauled ploughing.
It was well into 20th century that agricultural engines powered by steam were used, before being replaced by engines with internal combustion that tended to be more reliable.
