About Us
It all started back in 1953 when the Calidonna brothers, Dominick, Frank, and John - answered a newspaper advertisement seeking a farm machinery dealer for the Clinton area. In no time at all, the brothers became representatives for Triad Tractor of Yorkville, N.Y. a Ford farm and industrial equipment distributor. The rest as they say, is history...
The three brothers soon purchased a four acre parcel of commercial property near the Meadow Street and Franklin Avenue junction. Formerly the site of the Clinton outdoor skating rink. They constructed a 100' x 70' building on the site requiring six feet of dirt to meet road level. The business quickly took off and it wasn't too long before they needed to expand. In 1959, an addition was put on to the building; by 1970, a second was added, and in 1982 a third. By 1999, the business needed more office and showroom space, so the building expanded yet again. In 2000 more floor space was provided to accommodate the rapidly growing sales department.
Today, Clinton Tractor and Implement Co. is still owned and operated by the Calidonna family. Brothers Chris and John together with sisters Regina and Rebecca, are the second generation to operate the family business.
