Adams Tractor of Spokane, a trade name of Coeur d’Alene Tractor Co., broke ground on a new location at 8217 W. Highway 2, in west Spokane, at the end of 2025. The development is underway on 9 acres of vacant land zoned for light industrial use north of Spokane International Airport.

The company was established in 1929 by Don Adams — who previously earned a living as a fruit farmer — following a conversation with Henry Ford, who convinced Adams to sell tractors in Spokane. In the nearly 100 years since then, the tractor and parts retail and servicing company has functioned as a family-owned business and has been led by five generations in the Inland Northwest.

Adams Tractor has experienced significant growth in the last several years and currently operates locations in Spokane; Coeur d'Alene; Bonners Ferry, Idaho; Lewiston, Idaho; and Collville, Washington.
