Monroe Tractor Builds On Long Legacy; Expands Presence in New England For many contractors in Massachusetts and Connecticut, Monroe Tractor may still be a relatively new name. But the company behind that name is anything but new. Celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2026, Monroe Tractor has spent three-quarters of a century selling, renting and supporting construction and agricultural equipment. From its beginnings as a small Case dealership in Henrietta, N.Y., the family-owned company has expanded throughout the Northeast, with more recent growth taking it into Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. That history is increasingly important as Monroe Tractor strengthens its identity throughout New England. The challenge isn’t establishing a new equipment dealership from the ground up. Rather, it is making contractors aware that the company serving them has 75 years of equipment experience, a long relationship with Case and the resources of an established multi-location organization. see MONROE page 8 Monroe Tractor photo
