Now picture the tractor moving, and all wheels spinning. How many times do you think the white line reaches that position on the small wheel before it does on the largest wheel?

Now remember, the line goes all the way to the hub.

So the smaller a wheel is, the faster it turns.
It's not asking which wheel completes a full circle faster, it's asking which one moves faster. If the truck is moving 1km an hour, they are all moving at the same speed. One wheel can't move faster than the other since they are all dependent of each other wheels movements.

Read it again.

"Which wheel turns the fastest when the tractor moves?"

It's nice to see you not bold the important factor of the tractor moving. First, a kart has no differential and both wheels, regardless of size, are forced to move at the same speed due to being on the same common axle.

Second you can obviously tell that the ground is not a flat surface. Whether this was intended or not is not clear. Regardless, tractors on soft conditions will have diff-lock overrides forcing both wheels to turn at the same speed to help improve traction and reducing wheel slip.

Oh gees... this tractor thing is ridiculous...

Don't make it any more complicated than it already is :suspicious:

Hopefully this makes if easier to understand...

All the wheels would be independent of each other as we are looking from only one side. If they shared a common axle, the same wheel on the OTHER side would be at the same speed.

Just an FYI, trailers/karts would NOT share an axle, because if they were a whole lot of people would be dead when trailers/karts go around corners. (wheel turning in a smaller radius will move slower than a wheel turning in a larger radius)

They NEED to be independent as the distance traveled is different for each wheel
