OUR MISSION To serve our customers with quality products from a staff of knowledgeable people in a manner that honors God, our customers, our staff and the families that build the communities we serve. OUR HISTORY Formerly known as Texarkana Tractor Company, River Valley Tractor was established in May 1992 by James “Judge” Carlow, David Meadows, and Brad Carlow. In 2019, the company underwent an official name change to River Valley Tractor. James Carlow, affectionately known as “The Judge” in the local community, is not only a business owner and rancher, but also a lifelong resident of Bowie County. He enjoyed a successful political career, serving as County Judge for an impressive 29 years. Prior to that, from 1966 to 1986, James was involved in the dairy business and commercial cattle ranching, which his sons, Blake and Brad Carlow, currently manage. James married his wife, Nancy, in 1965, and together they have seen their family grow to include two daughters- in-law and six grandchildren.

The Carlow family legacy continues at River Valley Tractor, with Brad Carlow serving as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Blake Carlow as the Kubota Division Manager. Following in their father’s footsteps, both Brad and Blake are integral members of our Senior Management team. David Meadows, a lifetime friend and part-owner with the Carlow family, is an integral part of our team. Presently, River Valley Tractor Corporation operates eight Kubota dealerships and three New Holland dealerships across eastern Texas and central Arkansas, totaling around 200 employees company wide. Our commitment lies in providing exceptional service to our customers, with dedicated parts, service, rental, and a sales departments always ready to assist. As we continue to thrive in the industry, our overarching goal remains to positively impact the lives of every person who walks through our doors. We aim to serve as a testament to the enduring power of friendship and family while staying true to our heritage and way of life, ensuring a lasting legacy for generations to come.
