Tractor is one of vehicles available in the Hill Climb Racing 2.
Overview[]
The king of agricultural equipment!
The Tractor is a heavy vehicle with decent acceleration but a mediocre top speed (73.60km/h = 45.73mph = 20.44m/s). At the same time, it is very stable and has a large gas tank. For this reason, it is a good choice primarily on flat terrain, but with suitable Tuning Parts it can also climb the steepest mountains. Its suspension is also good enough for maneuvering on bumpy roads. Tractor has a unique upgrade, which is Damage, which can be upgraded to increase the amount of damage the vehicle can do to obstacles. At the same time, it also makes Tractor heavier, so if there are no obstacles on the map you are playing, it is best to set the Damage to level 1.
The Tractor has a unique feature, which is the shovel on the front. The position of the shovel mounted on the front of the Tractor can be adjusted by pressing both pedals (on both sides of the screen) at the same time, it can be stable forward, steeply up, or it can also stand still. This requires some strategy, as the position of the shovel also affects the balance of the vehicle. In a loose position, it usually gets stuck in the logs on tracks like Forest, so you have to be very careful with it. The shovel also helps break obstacles better, which is ideal for courses with a lot of breakable obstacles, such as Backwater Bog, Racer Glacier, and Patchwork Plant. The Tractor is not really good for racing because it is slow on flat terrain, but other than that it has a decent acceleration. Overcharged Turbo is especially good for Tractor because it has the best Boost of all vehicles. On the other hand, the Tractor is the only vehicle whose engine at level 1 gives 0 Boost, which makes it the slowest vehicle before upgrades (10.13km/h = 6.54mph = 3.8m/s). As a result of there being no turbo power, Overcharged Turbo does not work either. Tractor has a slow charging boost gauge, so Overcharged Turbo takes longer to start on the Tractor than on other vehicles, so don't let off the accelerator without a reason.
Your character sits in the back of the Tractor with no protection at all, so try not to land on the back wheel. Wheelieing is also very dangerous. For this reason, it is recommended to use the Rollcage for Team Events. Tractor is a bad choice for wheelies, except up steep hills like Mountain, where the hills are too tall to climb without a Wheelie Boost.
It is also important to note that Tractor has a variable RPM limit, with the smaller front wheels being low, not being able to point to the left at full speed, which means Tractor slows down a lot on the ground once it reaches this speed. However, when driving on the larger back wheels, it has a higher RPM limit, allowing it to go faster on the ground for a little before going back to the low RPM limit again. So, try to keep Tractor in the air for the fastest results.
Tuning Parts can be really powerful on the Tractor. Especially the Coin Boost, Nitro, Start Boost, Fuel Boost and Overcharged Turbo. Even though Overcharged Turbo takes longer to charge on the Tractor, it gives a powerful boost that is useful in a lot of Time Trials tracks. The Overcharged Turbo/Afterburner/Coin Boost setup can be used in most Cups. Tractor is also pretty good with the Kangaroo setup, with good Jump Shocks, Landing Boost and Wings. However, the shovel interferes with the Kangaroo a lot, as it gets in the way, and it also moves at the same time you activate Jump Shocks, weakening its power.

Mastery[]
In the 1.62.0 update, Tractor was the last of the 4 vehicles in the batch to receive Mastery. Each buff has its strengths in different game modes. Here are Tractor's masteries:
- Unhinged: Removes the shovel
- Overdrive: Increases top speed (230 -> 265)
- Overboost: Increased boost charge speed (250 -> 500)
- Extra Part: Unlocks the 4th tuning part slot
XP required for each level: 50,000
Additional XP gaining method: Destroy objects.
Tractor has some amazing masteries, removing the most annoying feature without getting rid of the good features, and improving its weaknesses. Unhinged gets rid of the shovel, which means you don't have to worry about the shovel getting stuck in logs or containers. Tractor can also climb hills a lot better without the shovel throwing off the balance. Most notably, the Kangaroo setup now works a lot better without the shovel getting in the way, as Jump Shocks now work like they should! Overdrive makes Tractor faster, increasing its mediocre top speed. Overboost doubles its boost charge speed, majorly increasing the acceleration and helping the Tractor maintain high speed better, which is noticeable in both game modes. The 4th tuning part slot is also incredible for Tractor, since it has a lot of very powerful parts! Now you can add Nitro, Wings, Fuel Boost, or any other powerful speed based part to already crazy fast setups, on top of the faster boost speed and removal of the annoying shovel. Tractor's mastery has allowed it to get a few World records in Time Trials!
Customizations[]
See the Vehicle Skins list for more information and images.
Tractor comes with 11 different skins (VIP skin is not included, but can be obtained with VIP). After purchasing it, the blue-red look is included for free to start with. The appearance of the wheels cannot be chosen, it depends on the color of the vehicle.
