It seems that Clakkerz lack an oddworldian style cultural identity. Not only do they look like the equivalent of rednecks (in chicken form) but they share the same artistic flair. OI usually designs everything to show off their unique style, but I feel the clakkerz (And their vehicles) are supposed to be seen as without a culture uniquely their own. Someone else mass-produces the things they use in everyday life, and that company doesn't bother to build is specifically for the clakkerz. Without a cultural identity, the clakkerz are just annoying, and their towns and vehicles lack personality.
But thats just why I think the tractor is "Just a tractor". OI is emphasizing how mundane these creatures are. Still, no western I've ever seen had giant neon signs above all their stores. So there's still some flavor to it.
