Woods & Copeland

The story began in Katy, Texas, where the ingenuity of engineer Jones Copeland converged with the practical expertise of farmer Woods. Together, they envisioned and constructed a robust tractor, specifically designed to conquer the challenging landscapes inherent in rice cultivation. This initial creation proved remarkably effective, prompting them to build a further eight machines. Subsequently, their enterprise relocated to Wharton, Texas, as demand grew. The burgeoning success of Woods & Copeland soon caught the eye of the Rome Plow company, leading to an acquisition in 1976 and a shift in manufacturing operations to Georgia.
