About Us |
N & S
TRACTOR began in 1954 as a Case tractor dealership
at 15th & O Streets, near downtown in Merced,
California. It was started by Ray Nutcher and Sam
Stevinson.
While both Ray & Sam were master mechanics, Ray
was the one who liked to build and modify. To
augment his tractors, he once used an old truck
body with a mower attachment to cut wheat and hay.
In the 1940's, Ray built several "Nutcher" bean
threshers, including one which was self-propelled.
After Sam returned to farming, Ray continued alone
until he was eventually joined by his sons Steve,
Howard and Arthur. After the deaths of Steve and
Ray in the middle 1970's, Howard and Arthur became
partners until Howard's death in 1986. |

In 1970, the lot at
600 S. Highway 59 was purchased and the first
building was erected. The business become a New
Holland dealership in 1971. By the mid 1970's, N &
S TRACTOR had become one of the nation's largest
dealerships in sales of both Case and New Holland
equipment. To meet all the needs of their
customers, shops were enlarged and other lines
were added. In addition to the CASE-IH and
FORD-NEW HOLLAND equipment lines, we now carry
such brands as Wilcox, Rears, Rhino, Durand-Weyland,
Grouser and others.
Today at N & S TRACTOR, you'll find the newest
innovations for both agri-business and
construction equipment combined with old fashioned
"know how" and service. Our business includes not
only our local area, but has grown to supplying
equipment and parts around the world. We applaud
our great staff and appreciate our many long-time
repeat customers. Thanks for your continued
patronage! |
