The upper crawler height adjustment mechanism controls the connection to the upper crawler and can longitudinally adjust the distance between the upper crawler and the lower crawler, so that the tractor can adapt to pipes of different sizes. The upper crawler end swing mechanism controls the pipe inlet end connected to the upper crawler and can adjust the pipe inlet end horizontally left and right in real time according to the pipe traction working conditions, thereby maintaining the concentricity of the pipe and effectively preventing it from rotating between the crawlers.

[0023] Specifically, the upper track height adjustment mechanism includes a cylinder 1 and a guide rod slider assembly 2. The cylinder 1 is vertically mounted within the tractor frame, located to one side of the center of the upper track. A connecting block 3 is mounted on the telescopic end of the cylinder and is fixedly connected to the upper track support plate on that side via the connecting block 3. The guide rod slider assembly 2 is positioned near the pipe outlet end of the upper track and is fixedly connected to the upper track support plate via its slider. The height adjustment mechanism controls the support plate by retracting and retracting the cylinder, thereby moving the entire upper track up and down, adjusting the gap between the upper track and the lower track.

[0024] The upper track end swing mechanism includes a rotating rod 4, a handle 5, a fixed block 6, and a lifting assembly.
