Splintered Oak Equipment, an 8-store Kubota dealership group in Texas, will acquire WC Tractor's 3 New Holland dealership locations in Brenham, Dayton and Sealy, Texas.
The transaction, facilitated by Performance Brokerage Services, brought together two organizations whose experience, values, and long-term objectives aligned to create a strong strategic fit and position the dealerships for continued growth and success.
Founded in 1939 as a Ford tractor dealership in Brenham, Texas, WC Tractor has grown from a single location into one of Texas’ leading agricultural and outdoor power equipment dealership groups. Beginning its expansion in 2002, the family-owned company grew to 11 dealership rooftops across Central and East Texas by 2025.
In 2016, WC Tractor received Kubota’s Elite Award of Excellence and was later named Rural Lifestyle Dealer’s 2024 Dealership of the Year, recognizing its outstanding business practices, achievements, and commitment to its employees and customers. Under the leadership of Chris Wackman, WC Tractor has continued to build a strong reputation as a leading Kubota dealer, with multiple locations earning Kubota Circle of Excellence recognition and maintaining Kubota Elite and Kubota Service Elite designations.
WC Tractor strategically divested its three New Holland dealership locations in Brenham, Dayton, and Sealy to Splintered Oak Equipment, allowing the company to further concentrate on and support the continued growth of its Kubota operation across Texas.
“This transaction was particularly meaningful given our longstanding relationship with the buyer,” Pat Albero shared. “In 2022, Performance Brokerage Services facilitated the sale of Conroy Tractor to this ownership group, giving us firsthand familiarity with their operating philosophy, growth ambitions, and commitment to the equipment industry. Recognizing the potential alignment with WC Tractor, we made the introduction between the two parties and helped open the dialogue that ultimately led to a successful transaction. With the acquisition of WC Tractor, the newly formed Splintered Oak Equipment is positioned to build upon the strong foundation established by both organizations and pursue significant growth throughout Texas. WC Tractor brings an established market presence, talented employees, loyal customers, and a strong New Holland relationship, while Splintered Oak brings experienced ownership, resources, and an ambitious vision for expansion.”
The dealerships will remain at their current locations and will be renamed Splintered Oak Equipment.
