gearhead204 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhead204 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ken: both the Mennonites and the hutterites out here use new equipment no steel wheel requirements, must be another of the "east" things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 KenI 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. Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Over the summer, I had an Amish buggy zip across Rt 12 in West Lowville at dusk in front of me. Caught me by surprise! Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yarnall Posted November 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2014 Around here ( eastern PA ) I think the Amish use horses or tractors on steel and the Mennonites use whatever they want but I could wrong. I saw this on the way home from Mack Day. Mike. It looks like I was driving a U model but it was an R688. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 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 Can't see the snake's pee though.

gearhead204 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCR Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 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. 1 Quote Denny330-550-6020A "Mack Pack" Charter Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
