A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high

tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a
trailer or machinery such as that used in agriculture or construction.
A cultivator is any of several types of farm implement used for secondary
tillage. ... Unlike a harrow, which disturbs the entire surface of the
soil, cultivators are designed to disturb the soil in careful patterns, sparing
the crop plants but disrupting the weeds.
A planter is a farm implement, usually towed behind a tractor,
that sows (plants) seeds in rows throughout a field.[1] It is connected to the
tractor with a drawbar or a three-point hitch. Planters lay the seeds down in
precise manner along rows. Planters vary greatly in size, from 1 row to 54,
with the biggest in the world being the 48-row John Deere DB120. Such
larger and newer planters comprise multiple modules called row units.
[1]
 The row units are spaced evenly along the planter[1] at intervals that vary
widely by crop and locale. The most common row spacing in the United
States today is 30 inches.[1]
A plough or plow is a farm tool for loosening or turning the soil before
sowing seed or planting. Ploughs were traditionally drawn by oxen and
horses, but in modern farms are drawn by tractors. A plough may have a
wooden, iron or steel frame, with a blade attached to cut and loosen the
soil. 
In civil engineering, a wheel tractor-scraper is a piece of heavy equipment
used for earthmoving. The rear part of the scraper has a vertically
moveable hopper with a sharp horizontal front edge which can be raised or
lowered.
A cultipacker is a piece of agricultural equipment that crushes dirt clods, removes air
pockets, and presses down small stones, forming a smooth, firm seedbed. Where seed
has been broadcast, the roller gently firms the soil around the seeds, ensuring shallow
seed placement and excellent seed-to-soil contact.
