About us Downtime costs money. Frustration costs energy. We save you both.

You're probably not here for fun. You're here because something is broken or needs preventive replacement. A tractor that won't move, a boat that won't start or a machine that refuses. That needs fixing. Not next week, but now.

Welcome to Shop4Trac. We are your digital workshop warehouse with an obsession for Japanese engineering that truly understands the need for timely delivery.

How it started

It started in 2010 — not with parts, but with the tractors themselves. We imported Iseki and Kubota compact tractors from Japan and sold them across Europe: France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland and especially Germany.

We soon ran into a problem: parts were hard to get. The available parts were mediocre, shipping was slow and prices were relatively high. That conservative mindset from many suppliers inspired our young team to take a chance. Our belief was simple: Japanese garden and compact machines should be serviceable at a fair market price, and parts should fit and ship immediately. Because when your trusted tractor is standing still, every day counts. That is how Shop4Trac was born.

The start was not flawless. We faced the same problem ourselves: suppliers barely checked their parts for quality, and when we placed an order we never knew in advance when it would arrive, whether it would fit or how long it would last.

That had to change. So we started looking for factories that could produce to our standards, and built Shop4Trac into a reliable source for parts that fit, at prices that make sense for both trade customers and consumers.

Shop4Trac grew, and that growth had consequences. What started with a few racks became a warehouse bursting at the seams. A few years later we therefore took on the hall next door — and, as with everything we do, we did most of it ourselves. Building racks, setting anchors, forklift at the ready. It is not the prettiest photo in our archive, but it is one of the most important: this is where we made the room to hold real stock, instead of having to wait for suppliers.

We love technology (and love sharing it)

We are not box-pushers who cannot tell the difference between a water pump and a head gasket. We are genuine specialists. Even when it comes to the thickness of a head gasket after cylinder head skimming or pistons made from AC8A aluminium.

Not to mention the fingers of the pressure plate or the friction material of the clutch disc, tested until we give our approval.

On our YouTube channel we show what we have in stock, how products work and what to look out for. This way you can be sure you order and install the right part.

Why choose Shop4Trac?

Everything you need for your Japanese machine: parts, knowledge and fast delivery.

Packed in-house, no detours

Many web shops outsource their logistics to an e-fulfilment company. We don't. Every order you place with us is picked, checked and packed in our own warehouse by people who know the parts. A wrong parcel costs you a week of downtime — that is a risk we prefer to keep in our own hands.

To do that quickly and without errors, we work with Picqer, our warehouse management system. Every part has a fixed location and its own barcode. When picking, the employee scans the shelf and the product; if they don't match, the system blocks the order. The same check happens again at packing. Only when everything is green does the shipping label come out of the printer. So packing here is not a matter of paying close attention, but of a process that simply doesn't allow mistakes.

We have four packing tables side by side. That may sound trivial, but it is exactly why we can keep our promise: ordered on a working day before 16:00, shipped the same day. On busy days too, and late in the afternoon too — without depending on an outside party's schedule.

Efficiency is our engine

To compete globally with the giants, you have to be smart. We work with clear outlines and tight processes. No unnecessary bureaucracy, just a well-oiled machine.

We test new parts ourselves: doesn't meet the standard? Then it's rejected.

A word from the founder:

“A process can always be optimised. Focus on growth and avoid micro-management. Achieve 90% of perfection but keep the process simple? Then that is a win. Look at your frontline; ask what your customer wants and where the need lies. That is our mission.”
