The Darby Steam-Digger, a light traction engine, was invented in circa 1879 by Farmer Thomas Darby and built at Lodge Farm Pleshey, near Chelmsford in Essex, England. Robert Hasler, seen driving the Digger, helped to build this first prototype. In effect the machine was an early tractor designed mainly for ploughing, and could accomplish one acre (1 m²/s) an hour to a maximum depth of 14 inches (360 mm). This first digger was constructed on pedestrian principles and had six "feet" and really did walk over the fields. Unfortunately it jumped too much to be really successful. The digger was later modified to have wheels in place of the legs. ...more on Wikipedia about "Darby Steam-Digger"

The steam tractor is a tractor based on the steam engine and was used extensively in the late 1800s and early 1900s in agriculture. The first steam tractors that were designed specifically for agricultural uses were built on skids or on wheels and transported to the work area using horses. Later models used the power of the steam engine itself to power a drive train to move the machine and were first known as " traction drive" engines which eventually was shortened to "tractor". These drive mechanisms were one of three types: chain, shaft, and open pinion. The open pinion became the most popular design due to it's strength. Later improvements included power steering, differentials, compounded engines, and butt-strap boiler design. ...more on Wikipedia about "Steam tractor"
