The J.A. Riggs Tractor Company has been part of the Arkansas landscape since 1927 when John Riggs, Sr. founded our fourth-generation, family-owned equipment dealership -known then as Arkansas Road Equipment Co. - and served as the dealer for Russell Grader Manufacturing. The following year, the company name was changed to Arkansas Tractor & Equipment Co. When Caterpillar subsequently purchased the Russell Grader Company in November 1928, Riggs was awarded the Caterpillar dealership franchise for 45 counties in Arkansas, thus making the company the first and largest Caterpillar dealership in the state. The company’s headquarters later moved to a larger facility in downtown Little Rock. In 1930 John Riggs, Jr. joined the company, alongside his father, and in 1938 the company name was changed to the J.A. Riggs Tractor Co. During this time the first branch location was opened in West Memphis and the sales territory grew to include 66 counties. The mid 40’s saw the opening of two additional branch locations in Ft. Smith and McGehee. By 1959 the third generation of family ownership was ushered in when John Jr.’s son, Jack, and son-in-law Bob Cress, joined the company.to preserve and profitably grow our business for the benefit of current and future generations of employees, customers, owners and our communities Our Mission is.
