I live amongst the Amish. Depends what the elders, bishops of the particular group say. I've Amish on one side of the road have open buggies that have to use umbrellas in the rain, but are allowed propane refriderators, yet across the road in a different group enclosed buggies, no propane. I've seen buggies with aired up car tires on them, but haven't seen one of those in years. I've seen zero-turns on one side of the road, sickles on the other. I remember seeing one Amish farmer on an Oliver Cletrac. I know an Amish farmer that has and uses his Rumley Oil Pull M regularly. I drove, but he went with me to look over a smaller "L" early this past Spring. Helped me start it, but another fella out bid me on it. One of my friends that sold Poulan chainsaws gave one to a bishop, whom then allowed them into his group, so my friend made some pretty good money selling them to them. There's one over by my brother that has one heck of a trash pump for sale with a huge Cummins powering it, yet all of his farming is draft horse, as is most out by me. Something else. Just because something is allowed or accepted today, a bishop can pull the plug on it tomorrow, and out it goes. Down by my brother, there's some nice Chevy pickups parked next to them buggies in the driveways of houses using oil lamps, propane fridges, and electric out to the barn with wells using PEX. The Amish fellas that put up my newest barn used battery powered tools, like screw guns and circular saws.
And, I did date a Mennonite girl for awhile. Her father had a 350 acre dairy farm, Ford 8N, and my girlfriend drove a Ford Elite with a 460 in it. She was a fun girl too.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
