A traction engine is a type of steam-powered vehicle used for pulling heavy loads, typically on roads or in agricultural settings. It has large wheels designed to provide stability and grip, allowing it to move across rough terrain. Traction engines were once commonly used for tasks like plowing fields, transporting materials, or powering machinery. They work by using steam to generate power, which is then used to turn the wheels or drive mechanical systems. While largely replaced by modern vehicles, traction engines are still used in some areas for historical or preservation purposes.
