Ltd., Zetor Tractors A.S.With the advent of the Industrial Revolution and the development of more complicated machines, agricultural methods took a great step forward. Instead of harvesting grain by hand with a sharp blade, wheeled machines cut a continuous row. Instead of threshing the grain by hitting it with sticks, the threshers separated the seeds from the heads and stems. The first tractors appeared at the end of the 19th century.
Power for agricultural machinery was originally supplied by oxen or other domestic animals. With the invention of steam power came the portable engine and later the traction engine, a multipurpose mobile power source that was the cousin of the steam locomotive. Agricultural steam engines took over the heavy work of pulling oxen and were also equipped with a pulley that could drive stationary machines through the use of a long belt. Steam engines were low power by today's standards but, due to their size and low gear ratios, they could provide great pulling force. Its low speed led farmers to comment that the tractors had two speeds: "slow and damn slow."
