The Tractors are characters in Cars. They are car-versions of cows. Their cousins are bulldozers, who are seen in Cars Toons. They have a droopish eye appearance in some parts of the movie. They are referred as stupid tractors by Mater. They're usually seen grazing in the morning until evening and upside down in the night due to tractor tipping activities caused by Mater. They are very slow moving but in a rampage, they are very fast. Frank is a "bull" that lives in the same field as them (even though he is not a bulldozer, like the other "bulls"). They are not dangerous.
Bio
The earliest domestication of the North American tractors can be traced back to the 1800s during the construction of the first continental 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 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.
They appear when Mater decides to take Lightning McQueen tractor tipping. Later, they appear in McQueen's dream of Frank winning the Piston Cup, when a stampede comes into Radiator Springs, and at the Radiator Springs Drive-In Theatre.
In Mater and the Ghostlight, when Mater thought he was being chased by the Ghostlight, he zoomed past some tractors in Frank's field, causing them to tip.
In the video game, they only appear in Tractor Tipping, where the goal is to tip all the tractors before time runs out, and try to avoid getting caught by Frank or the lamps.
In Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures, they appear in the game, Tractor Roundup. The goal is to tip all the tractors or they will get loose and drive all over town.
In Cars: Mater-National Championship, they appear in the Tractor Tipping mini game. Like in the original game, the goal is to tip all the tractors before time runs out, and try to avoid getting caught by Frank or the lamps.
In the third video game in the series, they appear in a mini game called Tractor Stampede. There are tractors stampeding all over Radiator Springs. The goal is to tip all 10 before time runs out, and there is no Frank to watch out for.
Tractors also appear in Cars 2: The Video Game along with Frank and you can earn the "Tractor Tipping" badge, if you tip 3 of them in any place you can find them.
In Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure, although they don't appear, their mooing can be heard at one point in the first Cars level when the player drives through a field with Mater and Sheriff.
The tractors appear in Unidentified Flying Mater, where Mater tips a tractor with his horn. Then Mator tips all of the other tractors in the field with a louder honk that created a crop circle design.
In Planes, during Dusty's training montage, some tractors appear on the fields. Also, when Ishani is talking to Dusty, a tractor passes them. Then, they fly over a field full of tractors.
Cars Land
The tractors appear in Radiator Springs Racers and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree in Cars Land.
In Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, Baby Tractors are pulling carts that guests will ride in. When Mater sings, the tractors dance in figure 8's.
In Radiator Springs Racers, Sheriff asks Mater to take the riders to the big race. Mater takes them tractor tipping, but then they wake up Frank and run away into Radiator Springs to get ready for the race.
Livery
A tractor's livery can be various different options. The most common being pink, although some can be a more of white color. Each one has a different pattern of brown spots.
Model
Each tractor is a Holstein Heifer Chewall Diesel Powered.
Occupation
The tractors' jobs are to roam around open fields and provide milk to the townsfolk. A tractor's life does not have very much to it, other than eating and sleeping.
