General Excavation

Carlson Tractor & Equipment has been selling equipment in the upper Midwest since 1953. Over the years we have seen many changes in the industries we serve, incredible equipment advances, and manufacturers and dealers changing hands and going in and out of business. Through it all we have remained a family owned and operated company.

The general core and heart of Carlson Tractor & Equipment revolves around the general excavating equipment. In today’s market there is no room for anything but quality products and support and a true value added product. We have partnered with manufacturers who share our vision of providing the best possible equipment with the best possible support.
