Leslie : did Amish rules change, I didn't think they used "modern" farm equipment, or once its at least 50 years old its ok? Perhaps one of the poorest Hutterite colonies in the states? anyways quite the train stationary thresher, square baler(couldn't tell how it was powered) and a couple of wagons to load with straw bales. looks like some nice driving weather, warm enough for the snakes anyhow. thanks for the trip :twothumbsup:

Amish and Mennonites can use modern machinery as long as it is on steel.

Ken

I thought it was just the Mennonites who used the steel wheel tractors and some rubber(?) while the Amish used horses/mules to pull they could use a pony motor on a sulky to provide PTO power??? Or does it vary with which faction of the church they or in.

up here in upstate Ny you only see the amish and Mennonites using tractors on the farm, you NEVER see them driving up and down the paved roads with them and they all have steel wheels. in our little valley there is the north and south side of the river. the south side they have gray canvases on the buggies along with signal and running and taillights, the north side are brown canvas and your lucky to see a orange triangle on the back before they hold up traffic or cut in front of you

Leslie, thank you for the pics.

It's nice when you swapped not only the subject of the shot in two first images but also the style of the hood :twothumbsup:

Can't see the snake's pee though. By the word haven't ever seen.

No Amish or Menonites here, but more Jehovah Witness than I ever seen. Can't open the door with out getting ambushed by one having one greet you.

I would have never thought that so many stationary thrashers would still be in use ,there are still a few laying around in fence corners in my neck of the woods, but its been 20 years or so since we had any threshing bees to use one. Brings back good memories of time spent with my grandpa ,we always went to the thrashing bees. :twothumbsup:

The Amish still use the threshing machine. An Amish friend of mine is one of only a handful of people that rebuild these antique machines. This one went from northeast Ohio to an Amish farmer in Southwest Ohio and I hauled one back for Mose to rebuild.

Vlad...when Americans say pissed, that means ANGRY! :loldude: Pissed-off is another way of saying it...After you get a speeding ticket, you might say "I am pissed off!!" If your buddy wrecks your car, you say "I am pissed at you!!!" If you are in polite society, you say "I am P-O'd!" (pee owed) They will understand!

We have a new engineer at work from India...during a meeting I said something about needing to "beef" something up (make it stronger), she came up to me later and wanted to know what cows had to do with it!

Leslie, thank you for very explanation, but...

We overhere in Russia also have some abstract use of the term "to piss off" and don't use it only for actual leak making.

So I just played with words about that snake meaning for example it could be so pissed so made it even a real way.

Just difficult for me to figure out how people can understand it :)
