The word tractor originally came from the Latin word trahere, which means pull. Although tractors are mainly used on farms for ploughing, pulling trailers and a wide variety of other farming tasks, some tractors are used in the forestry sector and by councils. The backhoe tractors are used in the construction industry for demolition jobs and others are fitted with special engineering tools that can be used in construction. There are also road tractors and these are commonly used for transferring freight.
