About the Company

West Side Tractor Sales

We are the authorized, full-service John Deere construction & forestry equipment distributor throughout northern Illinois and Indiana. Started in 1962 in Lisle, IL, West Side Tractor Sales began with one dealership and three employees on the “west side” of Chicago. More than half a decade later West Side continues to be a family operation currently run by the 2nd and 3rd generations. With over 60 years of experience in the industry, our expertise is unsur-passed.

West Side employees have access to top-notch John Deere training programs, cutting-edge tools and resources, and updated facilities. We also offer competitive wages and benefits, and the opportunity for advancement within the company.
