All of our newer (larger) tractors both in the construction bus. and at the farm have this feature.

Some have other nifty little 'automotive' style features too.

Some of our units have air over hydraulic ABS brakes on all 4 wheels, air brake circuit for trailers, self-levelling rear suspension as well as side to side levelling, two full-size seats in the cab, under-slung fuel tanks that have filler necks about the height of a pickup, and road gears which allow them to travel at speeds of up to 35mph.

The manufacturers are starting to realize the importance of ergonomics and operator comfort, thankfully.

In many parts of the world tractors see as much use on road as off.

In large areas of northern Europe for example, almost all snow removal and road maintenance duties are done by tractors.

Best of luck.
