Well, I was going to say:

In the OP's picture, the machinery on the right (with wheels) is not a tractor; it is a front-end loader (absent the front-end part which might be on another car).  Now, you might be able to attach something to it in the rear and pull it, but that doesn't make it a tractor.  The machine on the left also does not appear to be a tractor in the sense that it would have to make very wide turns in a field or yard due to the nature of its propulsion, making it nearly useless for planting or reaping.  I would guess that the machine on the left is some type of special-purpose equipment.

Then I went and looked at the company's website.  There, both pieces of equipment are labeled as tractors and appear to be used in farming, much to my surprise.  Amazing what you can learn on the internet.  I do believe, though, that Caterpillar and others market similar equipment with the wheels as front-end loaders.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you’re looking at them incorrectly. The rear ends are facing each other.  Also, both of them articulate in the center and make very tight turns.
