The most common use of the term tractor is for the vehicles used on farms. The classic farm tractor is a simple open vehicle with two very large driving wheels on an axle below and slightly behind a single seat (this and hence the steering wheel are not on the left or right but in the center) and the engine in front of the driver with two steerable wheels below the engine compartment.
The farm tractor is used for pulling agricultural machinery or trailers, ploughing, harrowing and similar tasks. Modern farm tractors can be quite large with eight driven wheels, four on the front axle and four on the back axle, and articulated steering. Variations of the classic style are used for smaller farm tasks, mowing grass, and landscaping.
Most tractors have a means to transfer the engine''s power to another machine such as a baler or reaper. Early tractors used belts wrapped around pulleys to power stationary equipment. Modern tractors use a power take-off (PTO) to provide rotary power to machinery that may be stationary or pulled. Almost all modern tractors can also provide hydraulic and electrical power.
Most equipment attached to the rear of the tractor use the three-point hitch (invented by Harry Ferguson) which has been a standard since the 1960s.
The most common variation of the classic farm tractor is the loader-backhoe, also called a backhoe-loader. As the name implies, it has a loader assembly on the front and a backhoe on the back. When both the loader and the backhoe are permanently attached it is almost never called a tractor, not generally used for towing and usually does not have a PTO. When the backhoe is permanently attached the machine usually has a seat that can swivel to the rear to face the hoe controls. Removable backhoe attachments almost always have a separate seat on the attachment itself.
The backhoe-loaders are very common and can be used for a wide variety of tasks: construction, small demolitions, light transportation of building materials, powering building equipment, digging holes, breaking asphalt and paving roads.
Their relative small frame and precise control of the shovel/bucket and the backhoe made them very useful and common in urban engineering projects such as daily repairs and maintenance of the city.
