The invention relates to a vehicle traction apparatus, which is a tractor with an upward ball head and the traction method thereof. A tractor with the upward ball head comprises a traction head, a shell, an inner enclosed ball socket, a support plate, a spring, and a wrench. The design issue of the tractor is that the ball head of the tractor turns upwards, that is, the pherality of a traction head is butted against the circular arc of the inner enclosed ball socket, and the traction head turns upwards. A hole is arranged on the shell, the pherality of the traction head is arranged in the hole, and the outer surface of the pherality is butted against circular arc of the inner enclosed ball socket; When in traction, as the ball head turns upwards, the thread segment of the traction head is connected with the connector of the tractor easily; the pherality is arranged in the hole of the shell and is butted against circular arc of the inner enclosed ball socket, so that the traction and the pulled binding force are at optimum states, and the tracted vehicle is tracted to a proposed position. The invention features simple structure, feasible method, easy operation and convenient and fast assembly, and is applicable to the tractions of various vehicles.
