Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering | | Spanish term or phrase: tractores de cadenas / orugas | I'm translating from Portuguese into Spanish the terms "tratores de esteiras" and I have a doubt.
What's the correct terminology to specify this type of machine ???
I know that the correct term used in Latin America is "tractores de orugas", however some enterprises are using "tractores de cadenas" and this could cause technical and trade barriers within MERCOSUR region.
Please, I would appreciate your help in order to specify the differences between both terms, if any.
Thanks,

Explanation:
Ambos términos se usan, sin embargo, es preferible utilizar el término que usa la empresa. No creo que se preste a confusión, pero se respeta su terminología.

Explanation:
En lo que a España se refiere me suena ante todo el uso de tractores oruga y en general el uso de oruga para ese tipo de vehículo (camion oruga, semi-oruga etc.)
Aquí va un ejemplo sacado del glosario de la ONU en referencia a vehículos militares tipo oruga.

Camión lindado para transporte de Tropas Vehículo de oruga o rodado, ligeramente blindado y con mucha movilidad, usado principalmente para transportar tropas y sus equipos durante las operaciones tácticas.
