The Word Tractor

Seems like each Mfg had their area they were known for such as
John Deere inventing the steel plow
Cyrus McCormick inventing the reaper
Jerome Case for his threshers
But I think the most used word out of all these is the word TRACTOR that the Oliver Co. made up out of the two words, TRACTION MOTOR. They said Tractor was easier to say which I agree.
It's been around so long I don't think any other word or name would have a chance or even compare. If so what do you think it would be?
 
Technically it was Hart Parr what came up with Tractor,but they were one of teh 4 companies that merged in to the Oliver Corporation,so I'm nit picking I guess.
 
You know, I had never given it any thought.And that's kinda funny, because I question a lot of things. TRACTOR just seems to fit. They have TRACTION to do the job.
