How did the tractor effect life in1800's?

It did only in a very limited sense. From the 1850s on, some big agricultural enterprises used steam-driven ploughing machines. Tractors on wheels were invented in the very late 19th century, but failed commercially. Only in the first decades of the 20th century the tractor became commercially succesful, mostly on the very large farms in the US. In Europe with its usually much smaller farms the tractor became common only after WW II.
