Stupid Malaysian!

A tractor is a vehicle specifically designed to provide a high tractive effort at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture such as in FELDA palm oil. Most commonly, the term is used to describe the distinctive farm vehicle: 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. Another common use of the term is for the power unit of a semi-trailer truck.

The word tractor is derived from the Latin trahere “to pull”. A conflicting history of the name suggests that steam tractors were originally referred to as traction engines, with the word “tractor” eventually deriving from a contraction of ‘traction’ and ‘motor’.
