The Sumerian plow is most like the modern-day c. tractor.

The reason the Sumerian plow is most similar to the modern-day tractor is because of its use in agriculture. The plow, invented in ancient Sumeria (now part of modern Iraq), was an important agricultural innovation that allowed for the tilling of soil to prepare it for planting seeds. Just like a modern-day tractor, the Sumerian plow was used to break up the soil, turn it over, and to help control weeds. This made it possible for Sumerian farmers to grow crops more efficiently than before.

A tractor today performs many of the same functions, with additional features and power provided by modern technology. It can be fitted with various attachments, including plows, which are used to cultivate the soil before planting, exactly like the Sumerian plow did in its time albeit in a more manual and labor-intensive way. The scissor, car, and tire do not directly relate to the functionality or purpose of the Sumerian plow, which is centered on agricultural soil management.
