powerful farm vehicle for pulling
A strong farm vehicle that pulls heavy machines and trailers across fields.
用法模式：
drive/operate a [tractor]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "tractor" with "truck" or use "tractor" for any large vehicle. A tractor is usually a special vehicle for pulling machines, especially on farms. Another mistake is mixing up "tractor" and "trailer": the tractor is the pulling vehicle; the trailer is the thing being pulled.
近义词
