The Tractor is a land vehicle in Astroneer. With its cheap research and crafting costs and early utility, it is mostly used as the player's first vehicle. It has a T2 Attachment Slot on the front of the vehicle and a power port on back. The Tractor can pull up to three trailers by attaching them to the rear power port.
Like other land vehicles the Tractor spawns with no Power. The internal battery can be charged by connecting it to a base or by attaching a power source to one of its Attachment Slots.
Attaching a Drill to the front of the tractor allows the player to quickly tunnel through soil. Using the camera angle, the player can delve to the depths of the planet with ease.
The tractor’s front slots can be used like a backpack Attachment Slot by pressing XBONE_LB or XBONE_RB for Xbox One and C or V for PC
