The problems of tractor design evolution, contemporary trends of tractor construction, directed to resolution of problems of ecology, resource economy, and service conditions of tractor driver are considered in this article. The possible directions of efficiency increase of tractor and tractor with farm machines together are described; the influence of the power take off on the total tractor efficiency is investigated; the concepts of development of energy produced and energy transmitted tractors system are discussed.
