About Carver Equipment

Family-Owned Farm Equipment Experts Since 1959

Carver Equipment is a family-owned farm equipment dealer proudly serving farmers, landowners, and agricultural professionals since 1959. Based in Clinton, North Carolina, we support customers locally and across the United States with high-quality agricultural equipment, implements, parts, and knowledgeable customer service.

From our early days as a local dealership to our growth as a nationwide ecommerce supplier, Carver Equipment has remained focused on one thing: helping our customers get the right equipment to do their work efficiently and reliably.

Who We Are

Carver Equipment is built on decades of agricultural experience and hands-on knowledge. We serve both local customers in North Carolina and customers nationwide through our online store, offering a wide selection of farm equipment, attachments, and parts.

We are not a big-box retailer or a faceless online marketplace. We are a team of equipment professionals who understand farming, respect our customers’ time, and stand behind what we sell.

Our History

Carver Equipment was founded in 1959 by J. Alvis Carver in Dunn, NC, with the goal of providing dependable equipment and honest service to local farmers. From an early age, Steve Carver worked alongside his father, learning every aspect of the business and developing a deep understanding of agricultural equipment and customer service.

In 1981, Steve Carver took over the business and continued to grow Carver Equipment’s reputation for integrity and expertise. Carver Equipment was also one of the first locally owned farm equipment dealers to embrace internet retail, allowing the company to serve customers well beyond its local market.

That forward-thinking approach helped Carver Equipment grow into a trusted nationwide supplier while remaining grounded in the values of a family-run operation.

A New Chapter

In February 2025, Carver Equipment entered an exciting new chapter under new ownership. Kyle and Jessy Smith acquired the company and are proud to carry forward Carver’s long-standing reputation for service, knowledge, and reliability.

As owner-operators, Kyle and Jessy are committed to preserving what makes Carver Equipment special while continuing to invest in modernization, technology, and customer experience. Customers can expect the same trusted service, backed by a renewed focus on growth and innovation.

A Farming Family

We are a farming family, and agriculture is not just our business—it is our way of life. We actively operate a row-crop, livestock, and hay farm in Eastern North Carolina. That firsthand experience gives us a practical understanding of the challenges farmers face every day.

When we recommend equipment, it is based on real-world use, not theory. We understand how critical uptime is, how seasonal demands affect decisions, and how important it is to make smart investments in equipment that works as hard as you do.
