How Fast Is Tractor?

Modern road-going tractors hit 40 km/h. Field tractors do up to 50 km/h — a generation ago, 20 km/h was considered fast. Today they have GPS-guided auto-steering and can plough fields with millimetre precision while the driver does paperwork.

Modern tractors have GPS auto-steering accurate to a few centimetres — the driver mostly does paperwork while it works.

• Slower than Usain Bolt sprinting
• GPS-guided auto-steering as standard
