OUR LOCATIONS Rensselaer Tyler, Arlene & Jon Castongia In 1918, John Deere entered the tractor business by purchasing the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company. It seems fitting that we feature John Deere s 100 years of progress for our 2018 calendar. Many of those farming today have had the opportunity to own or at least drive an old John Deere 2 cylinder tractor, as well as drive the latest R series tractors of today. It is just as important to keep our connection to the days of farming past as it is to keep our eyes on the horizon. Although times may change, our dealership s commitment to making you more productive and profitable does not. Thank you for being a Castongia Tractor customer. We appreciate your business. On behalf of everyone at Castongia Tractor, we wish you a healthy and prosperous 2018.
