The '''tractors''' play the role of the cattle that reside in [[Radiator Springs]], under custody of [[Frank]]. They act similarly to cows and roam the fields in [[Ornament Valley]] day after day, consuming grass and plowing fields. While most tractors in the series remain nameless, some have been given unique names, such as Moo Moo in ''[[The World of Cars Online]]'' and Betsy in ''[[Planes: The Video Game]]''.

[[File:Tractors.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Several tractors stampeding into Radiator Springs in ''Cars''.]]They appear in ''[[Cars]]'' when Mater decides to take Lightning [[Tractor Tippin'|tractor tipping]]. They later appear in McQueen's dream of Frank winning the [[Piston Cup Racing Series|Piston Cup]], when a stampede comes into Radiator Springs, and at the [[Radiator Springs Drive-In Theatre]].
[[File:TractorsCars14.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Two tipped tractors.]]
In ''[[Cars]]'', when [[Sheriff]] puts [[Mater]] in charge of watching [[Lightning McQueen]] during his sentence of community service for a night, the two sneak off to go [[Tractor Tipping (game)|''tractor tipping'']] in Frank's fields. Once there, Mater instructs Lightning on how to play, by driving up quietly to a tractor and honking his horn. The sudden noise woke the tractor up, causing her to tip over in confusion.


===''Cars: The Video Game''===
McQueen attempts to follow Mater's instructions and revs his engine loudly. While Mater usually only tips one tractor at a time, Lightning's revving wakes up the entire field of tractors, causing them to tip simultaneously. Mater and McQueen laugh at the incident, but are interrupted when Frank, the combine that looks after the tractors, is woken up too, and begins chasing them around the fields. They manage to escape by slipping through the small gate, which Frank is unable to go through. However, they do not close the gate, and the tractors are able to move through it.
In ''[[Cars: The Video Game]]'', they only appear in [[Tractor Tipping (Cars: The Video Game)|Tractor Tipping]]. The goal is to tip all the tractors before time runs out, and try to avoid getting caught by Frank or the lamps.

Early the next morning in the [[Cozy Cone Motel]], Lightning McQueen has a nightmare of himself, [[Chick Hicks]], and [[The King]] being chased by Frank at the [[Motor Speedway of the South]].

When Lightning and [[Sally]] return home to [[Radiator Springs]] from their drive in [[Tailfin Pass]], they are greeted by a stampede of tractors, who the town's residents begin chasing around, trying to round them up again. McQueen notices one tractor slowly heading towards [[Willy's Butte]], and when he follows it, he discovers [[Doc Hudson]] in his racing tires, practicing around the Willy's Butte oval.
 
During the film's credits, the tractors can be seen behind the gate at the [[Radiator Springs Drive-In Theatre]], watching films such as ''[[Toy Car Story]]'', ''[[Monster Trucks, Inc.]]'', and ''[[A Bug's Life]]''.

Mater explaining to Lightning McQueen how tractor tipping is played, Cars

The tractors play the role of the cattle that reside in Radiator Springs, under custody of Frank. They act similarly to cows and roam the fields in Ornament Valley day after day, consuming grass and plowing fields. While most tractors in the series remain nameless, some have been given unique names, such as Moo Moo in The World of Cars Online and Betsy in Planes: The Video Game.

History

Cars

Two tipped tractors.

In Cars, when Sheriff puts Mater in charge of watching Lightning McQueen during his sentence of community service for a night, the two sneak off to go tractor tipping in Frank's fields. Once there, Mater instructs Lightning on how to play, by driving up quietly to a tractor and honking his horn. The sudden noise woke the tractor up, causing her to tip over in confusion.

McQueen attempts to follow Mater's instructions and revs his engine loudly. While Mater usually only tips one tractor at a time, Lightning's revving wakes up the entire field of tractors, causing them to tip simultaneously. Mater and McQueen laugh at the incident, but are interrupted when Frank, the combine that looks after the tractors, is woken up too, and begins chasing them around the fields. They manage to escape by slipping through the small gate, which Frank is unable to go through. However, they do not close the gate, and the tractors are able to move through it.

A group of tractors in Lightning's dream.

Early the next morning in the Cozy Cone Motel, Lightning McQueen has a nightmare of himself, Chick Hicks, and The King being chased by Frank at the Motor Speedway of the South. Frank is given the Piston Cup trophy, and after the race, Lightning finds himself surrounded by tractors (with one of them mooing at him and another licking his side), before waking up.

The tractors' stampede.

When Lightning and Sally return home to Radiator Springs from their drive in Tailfin Pass, they are greeted by a stampede of tractors, who the town's residents begin chasing around, trying to round them up again. McQueen notices one tractor slowly heading towards Willy's Butte, and when he follows it, he discovers Doc Hudson in his racing tires, practicing around the Willy's Butte oval.

During the film's credits, the tractors can be seen behind the gate at the Radiator Springs Drive-In Theatre, watching films such as Toy Car Story, Monster Trucks, Inc., and A Bug's Life.

General information

Physical descriptions

Promotional artwork of a tractor.

All of the Tractors seen throughout the Cars series all share the same make model. They are a Holstein Heifer Chewall Diesel Powered. Their liveries can vary between many different paint schemes, the most common being pink with brown spots and slight hints of rust. Another livery that tractors can be seen in is a much whiter color, with the same brown spots and slight hints of rust.

Tractors have four wheels; the front two are displayed very closely together, making them appear to only have three wheels. Attached to them is a thin, tall stick that connects them to the body. Both back wheels are considerably larger than the front two and are parallel to each other. Their rims are very rusty and dirty.

Personalities and traits

A tipped tractor.

Since they are the Cars world equivalent of cows, their behavior mirrors that of a cow. They have a tendency to eat grass, and slowly roam the fields. Additionally, they appear to be lazy and calm, and enjoy quiet environments.

According to their official bio from Cars, although they dislike Mater for interrupting their slumber, they prefer sleeping on their backs.

Occupation

Tractors' jobs are to plow Ornament Valley's fields under custody of Frank, who assists them and watches over them to make sure that they are being productive and do not stray off-task.

Their story:
"The earliest domestication of the North American tractors can be traced back to the 1800s during the construction of the first transcontinental railroad. Railroaders quickly discovered the tractors' ability to create level grades across even the most demanding geography. Today the native plains tractor is regarded as one of the true pioneers of the West."
Tractors
Holstein Heifer
Chewall Diesel Powered
Their story:
"Tractors are hard workers. They enjoy what they do, plowing through the fields on a nice warm day, and then falling asleep under the moonlight. But every so often they wake up to the sound of snorting and giggling trailing off into the distance, and they find themselves lying on their backs staring up at the stars. But they don't mind. It's actually kind of nice to get to sleep lying down for a change."

Trivia

  • Tractors can be tipped when they hear horns honking, or engines revving loudly. In Cars 2: The Video Game, they are, however, easily tipped when you hit them. In Disney Infinity, they can be tipped by both ways. In Planes, some get tipped when Dusty flies past them during his training montage.
  • Cars 2 marks their only absence in a film.
  • The tractors make a cameo appearance in the background in the Cars 2 Target commercial.
  • In Planes, the tractors are slightly modified. Examples are that they are a little smaller, the windows are a little bigger, and the mirrors are very tilted.
  • According to Ishani, tractors are considered sacred in India, which is based upon how cows are considered sacred in India in reality. She also says they get "recycled" which presumably means "reincarnated," a religious belief that many citizens of India possess.
  • The name "Chewall" is likely a parody of Farmall, a brand of tractors and agricultural equipment.
