it is a ProFUSION joke started by ex-students of UNICAMP (most
ProFUSION dudes) that relates to the tractor
(http://www.historylink101.com/lessons/farm-city/four_wheel_drive_tractor.jpg),
a very rude thing, but that does its work quite well.   When we say
"tratorado" or "tractorised" (kinda of engrish version ;-)) we meant
someone just did the work (code or idea), but maybe rewrote all the
original code/idea.

It is a generalization of former "Barbierizada" (due Barbieri, yours
truly) or "Espindolada" (from a former university friend, called
Espindola).  We both ran with friends a LUG, at first we tried to
help, but we got quite sick of stupid questions and started to reply
with insightful but very rude questions and the other dudes (lfelipe,
...) started to call us like that, then creating the general form
"trator".

I hope that answers your question. :-)
