Performance Brokerage Services Facilitates Sale of WC Tractor's New Holland Dealerships

Performance Brokerage Services, a leading dealership brokerage firm, has facilitated the sale of WC Tractor's three New Holland dealerships in Brenham, Dayton, and Sealy, Texas, to Splintered Oak Equipment. The transaction marks a strategic move for both parties, aligning their shared values and long-term goals.

Founded in 1939 as a Ford tractor dealership in Brenham, Texas, WC Tractor has grown significantly over the years. By 2002, the family-owned company had expanded to 11 dealership locations in Central and East Texas. In recognition of its outstanding business practices and commitment to its employees and customers, WC Tractor received the Kubota Elite Award of Excellence in 2016 and was named Rural Lifestyle Dealer's 2024 Dealership of the Year. Under the leadership of Chris Wackman, the company has maintained its reputation as a top Kubota dealer, with multiple locations earning Kubota Circle of Excellence recognition and maintaining Kubota Elite and Kubota Service Elite designations.

The sale of its three New Holland dealerships to Splintered Oak Equipment allows WC Tractor to further concentrate on its Kubota operations. Splintered Oak Equipment is an ownership group known for its experience, resources, and ambitious vision for growth. Pat Albero and Dan Argiro, Senior Partners of the Equipment and Commercial Truck Division at Performance Brokerage Services, served as exclusive advisors for this transaction.

"This transaction was particularly meaningful given our longstanding relationship with the buyer," Albero stated. "In 2022, we 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 and helped open the dialogue that ultimately led to a successful transaction."

Splintered Oak Equipment now has a strong foundation to 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 three dealerships will remain at their current locations and will be renamed Splintered Oak Equipment. This strategic move is expected to foster continued growth and success for both organizations.
