Obviously I'm not going to find the actual one they are using in the game, but aside from the lack of wear/rust/dirt I think it's a pretty accurate depiction of a late 1930's tractor.

I have it on very good authority that most farmers take extremely good care of their tractors (addressing rust, painting regularly). So - it is probably just the dirt which is missing...

Why?
It looks like an excellent representation of an RAF tractor to me:

And it will also be useful for placement on farms:
