About Us

Our Mission Is Quality, Service, And Value.

Our Story

Cross Creek Tractor was established in 1985 as a used tractor and equipment dealer. In 1987 we took advantage of an opportunity to buy a small tractor salvage yard and our tractor parts business was born. We rolled along in the used parts business for many years, but slowly moved into the new aftermarket tractor parts business. In 1999 we expanded by building a new office and showroom with warehouse space for new aftermarket parts and started growing our line of new parts. In 2006 we once again expanded by starting our own machine shop and shortly thereafter began moving some of the parts that were being made overseas back to America.

We now have a broad range of new aftermarket parts, a large tractor salvage yard, and fully equipped machine shop to offer our customers one of the best ranges of tractor parts in the USA.
