tractor
Let an agent explain tractors and their kinds, support choosing, operating and maintaining tractors safely, describe regulations and technology trends, and cover their history.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain tractors and their kinds, support choosing, operating and maintaining tractors safely, describe regulations and technology trends, and cover their history.
A powered vehicle designed to deliver high tractive effort at low speeds for pulling and powering implements, trailers and machinery in agriculture, forestry, construction and other work, from historical steam tractors to modern diesel, electric, hydrogen-powered and driverless tractors, including specialised forestry and industrial tractors; tractors are heavy equipment regulated for road use, operator safety and emissions.
What it is for: Vehicles for pulling and powering implements.
It can be explain kinds of tractor; support choosing and operating; describe regulations and trends; cover history.
Distinguishing features
Tractive effort

What it looks like
A vehicle with large rear wheels or tracks, an engine and hitch points.
How it is recognised
High traction at low speed
Implement hitches and power take-off
A truck carries loads; a combine harvester is a self-propelled implement
