Fyodor Abramovich Blinov (1827–1902) born in Russia, was a famous inventor and engineer. He was born in Saint Nicholas village, which falls under Wolski county, in Russia. He was well known as the inventor of the world's first tracked vehicles which are wagon that ran on continuous track instead the conventional wheels, in 1877. These tracks were later used widely in a large number of military vehicles, tanks and for other construction work.
After his invention of the first tracked vehicles he further developed the ideas of building the steam-powered continuous track tractor which was mainly built for farm usage in 1888. His invention of these running tracks was a boon in the world of vehicles which saved not only time but also energy. He laid the foundation for the formation of the modernized tractors at that time. He died in 1902 due to bad health, but was surely ahead of technological inventions of his time laying foundations for tractors.
