[0002] At present, in the agricultural machinery industry, a single machine is required to be used for multiple purposes, and the requirements for tractors with multiple purposes and multiple working conditions are getting higher and higher. Especially in the southern tobacco-rice rotation area, due to different tobacco varieties and ridge distances, a differential steering crawler tractor needs different track gauges when ridging in tobacco fields. Moreover, considering that some differential steering crawler tractors are used not only for ridging in tobacco fields but also for some paddy field operations (the track gauge for paddy field operations is generally wider), the demand for track gauges is more diverse. The track gauges of existing differential steering crawler tractors are fixed. If a user wants to realize multiple working condition operations, they can only purchase multiple crawler tractors for different working condition operations, thus increasing the user's usage cost.
