When you said "tractor" I thought of something you can plow fields on and grow corn, not some glorified riding lawnmower!

And alternatively, what do we call the motor vehicle that pulls this on a highway?

Jonsey, he's got you there. "Tractor" means "something that pulls" from da Latin. Did your dad ever pull a trailer with these things? If not they more pushed, cut, and weren't as cool as Vark's snowblower.

So, did he do anything like this?
