About Podolinsky Equipment
For over 60 years, Podolinsky Equipment has proudly served Southwestern Ontario as a trusted, family-owned equipment dealership. What began as a small community-focused business has grown to support agriculture, powersports, construction, golf and turf, and residential customers with the same dedication and care that defined our beginning.

A growing business moves across the road into a new facility that remains our Petrolia home.
Two locations and a broader team support customers across Southwestern Ontario.
Built Through Hard Work and Family
The Podolinsky story began in 1964 with a bit of luck, good timing, and a great deal of hard work. After learning that the local John Deere dealership in Inwood was available, Ludvik Podolinsky returned home to discuss the opportunity with his wife, Anne. The next day, he met with a John Deere representative and signed the agreement that would begin the Podolinsky Equipment story.
Ludvik and Anne began operating from an old service station east of Petrolia. Within seven years, the business had outgrown that original shop and moved across the road into a new facility. That location has since expanded many times and remains the home of Podolinsky Equipment in Petrolia.
Family Values. Stronger Communities.
Our business has changed over the years, but the relationships behind it continue to shape how we work, grow, and support our customers.
Three Generations of Leadership
From founders Ludvik and Anne, to their sons Rick, Louie, and Dave, Podolinsky Equipment has been built on family values, teamwork, and a shared commitment to customers.
Today, the dealership continues under third-generation leadership with Deanna Valiquette, Jason Podolinsky, and Patrick Podolinsky. Trust, integrity, and personal service remain at the heart of how we do business.
Growing in Petrolia and Glencoe
In 2025, Podolinsky Equipment announced the acquisition of Fulline Farm & Garden Equipment in Glencoe, a dealership with deep family and operational ties to Podolinsky dating back to Fulline’s beginning in 1987.
Today, our combined teams provide broader support across agriculture, powersports, construction, golf and turf, and residential equipment while remaining connected to the communities we call home.
