Our History

A lot has changed since 1958, but one thing that remains the same is our commitment to our customers. Ray Groff opened Groff Tractor as a CASE dealer in Highspire, Pennsylvania, employing only a handful of people. Over time, the business has grown, and now almost 300 full time employees work at fifteen dealerships that provide equipment and services across four states.

Over the years, Groff has developed strong relationships with our manufacturers and has consistently offered a wide range of the highest quality construction equipment. Groff is one of the leading CASE construction dealers in the country and supplements their CASE products with some of the other leading manufacturers in the world.

Lasting six decades in the construction industry may not always have been easy, but regardless of the circumstances, Groff Tractor has always powered through, thanks to the knowledge and commitment of our wonderful employees. Groff Tractor’s employees are at the heart of our dealerships and work tirelessly each day to make sure our customers’ needs are met.
