The old tractors had an open differential. BOTH wheels are "energized" as long as the traction on both wheels is identical.

HOWEVER, as soon as one wheel's traction becomes less than the other, ALL the power gets put on the wheel with less traction. Since locking differential is not an option, you apply the brake to the spinning wheel to transfer power back to the wheel with more traction.

If you did not have a differential, you would not be able to turn the tractor.
