An amount of time added to any journey in a rural area to allow for getting stuck behind slow moving agricultural vehicles or coming across farm animals in the road.

Often seen as as a derivative of the Idaho Ratio, the Tractor Factor represents the correlation of one's "presence" to the size of their tractor. In common usage (see example #1), the Tractor Factor is used to judge the size of one's tractor by their "presence". Conversely, the Tractor Factor may be the judgement of one's presence by the size of their tractor (see example #2).
Example #1

Bro #1: Man, that guy has a HUGE Tractor Factor.
Bro #2: Yeah, bro. He must be packing one hell of a tractor.

Example #2:

Bro #1: Holy shit, that tractor is very small.
Bro #2: Damn, the owner's tractor factor must be tiny.
Bro #1: F.
