At Castongia Tractor, nothing is more important to us than our customers. We feel “Back to our Roots” is a great name for our first ever in-house produced calendar. 2016 was a busy year for all of us; we re-branded to our original name, added a couple of stores, changed our logo, and more. We are proud of our heritage and the fact that our company has been family owned for 77 years. We hope you enjoy the photos we have chosen to feature in each month of our “Back to our Roots” calendar. Thank you every one for your participation and Thank you for being a Castongia Tractor customer and allowing our family to help you grow. Everyone at Castongia Tractor wishes you and your family a healthy and prosperous 2017.

Jon, Arlene & Tyler Castongia
