God Bless the Amish for their dedication to doing the job well and doing it right. 15 year old kid backs up a 4-horse team up to the exact spot to hook up a trailer, THE FIRST TIME! If I back up my Massey Ferguson to the exact right spot the first time, it's pure luck. These guys absolutely know what they're doing and apparently so do the horses. GodSpeed and Amen

It surely is possible to have eyes, and still not be able to see. To have knowledge, and lack understanding. It seems to me, a lot of folks just see what is on the surface, and don't look any deeper for the hidden purposes, as regards ways to do things. Many on here blast the Amish for the way they choose to work. First it is their, choice. There is no right or wrong to it. Second, there is a practical side to it, and a service. It takes a life time of training, skill, animal husbandry to breed, train, and work, animals singly, and especially in teams like this. This knowledge, which I think is valuable, is priceless. There are breeds, breeding techniques, and knowledge that would be completely lost, if it were not, for the Amish doing things this way. But there is more to it. There is a purpose for everything, and everything has a purpose. On these farm, there is a job, and everyone has one to do. Work, is good. And that goes for animals, and not just humans. These horses are specifically bred and trained for this purpose. People go to workout in gyms. Why? To get in shape, yes, but also, because it feels good. These horses, well treated, well fed, well cared for, and just like a person, they can and do, enjoy this. If you noticed, they responded as much to voice command, as the tug of the reign. There is no coercion. The teams are well cared for, and they respond. Additionally, if I want to breed, train and raise horses, which is an expensive proposition, would it not be better if they contributed to the cost of doing so? In a sense, the horses are contributing to their own continued need and existence. These animals do, contribute. There is in fact, many breeds of animals today, that if it were not for humans, they would not exist. They would go, extinct. Chickens, turkeys, many breeds of cattle, dogs, pigs, the list goes on and on. Yes, the Amish could use tractors, for everything. Why should they? On these operations, there is a job for every person, regardless of age, to learn, and do. Little idleness, responsibility, and discipline is instilled in the process. It is not just, or only, about religious faith. It is also to keep the best of what keeps families together, working together, building community, while incorporating technology only, when practical demands dictates. I could go on...but really writing all of this, is an exercise in futility.

There is no practicality to living in a past age. Throughout history its always been a dog eat dog world, the largest most advanced army wins...…. the rest equals slaves. The Amish are lucky to live in a country with freedom of religion, freedom of land ownership, and freedom of choice. All of those freedoms are kept by...……. a large modern military. So in a way, the Amish do take advantage of modern tech even if they don't see it that way. Without it...… they would fail to exist as this country that gives them freedom would not exist.

I believe the point is to not create as many compaction problems that big tractors create. At any rate, both my parents grew up farming with horses. They always said that one of the nice things about horses was you could only push them so hard. If you were plowing, seven rounds in the morning, seven rounds in the afternoon with a short rest at each end of the field after each round. As a teenager I spent so many hours on the tractor I found myself falling asleep which was dangerous in fact, I once hit a high line pole, luckily no damage was done.

I agree with bmwelch320, " I don't understand". But I also remember my youth before we got tractors, at least we rested the horses at the end of the field, had a chance to check the equipment and horses and smell the roses. We got a tractor, then got another with lights, then another and soon we didn't have time to eat let alone smelling the roses, the old ways have a lot to be said for them. I am not criticizing anything, I just don't understand the power unit and not a tractor. I kind of wish we had done it that way I could have still caught a smell of the roses at the end of the field.

I was present when an old farmer was asked if tractors made farming easier. He said no, horses had to rest and these tractors just keep going and going and going. Also talked with an old horse logger. He missed his horses. He said you could kill a horse if you made it pull too big a log. It would die of a massive hernia. They would pull so hard their bellies would almost touch the ground. It takes a special person to handle work horses. Just wanted to pass on stories I was lucky to be able to hear.

More than 50 years ago, my friend sold a brand new Ford farm tractor to a Mennonite farmer near Elmira, ON. He delivered it to the farm where the farmers raised it up onto a pile of strategically piled railroad ties. The four wheels were then removed and returned to the dealership. The farmers in that particular family / community saw the benefits of the power train (PTO = power take off and belt drive wheels) but their beliefs did not allow them to actually drive the motor vehicle (tractor). They compromised and took full advantage of that wheel-less tractor for many years. I learned a lot from those incredibly happy, innovative, generous people and have never lost my admiration for them and all people and communities like them who do NO HARM to anyone. I certainly endorse their lifestyles.

They told me that they weren’t permitted to use tools which ran directly off a gas driven shaft. Kind of crazy to me. They have since progressed to battery powered tools.

Because of the economics involved using horses in agriculture is not sustainable. The amount of weight the are putting on the field is gonna cause just as much compaction at tractors and horses will not be able to pull a true sub soiled through the ground. This is a cool way to farm as a hobby but horses will never power a food system that feeds 8 billion people sorry.

But they use oil engine on wheels to run chopper. It`s almost like tractor. Really hard to understand.

Amish are traditional and inhabited in Iowa. They don't use electricity. But tractirs like John Deer are also not employed. But I see a diesel engine. We are using electricity besides tractors and diesel engines for ploughing and water lifting. Before bulls alongwith camels were used for ploughing and transportation and even for water lifting. Now these animals are being slaughterd for human consumptions. In India camels are seen doing different works are seen fighting with each other roaming around in streets and roads. I love to see them working at the farm making light with kerosene lamps and ladies sewing quilts with cotton. But they collect lot of hay and store them in w7nter barns for horses and other cattle. They are content and happy with the way of their lifestyle.

Someone has to explain to me how they can use a diesel powered silage chopper pulled by horses, but cannot use a diesel tractor to pull a silage chopper. On the portable sawmills built by Cook's Saw and Manufacturing they can use a hydraulic motor to power something, but they cannot use a hydraulic cylinder to do something on the same mill. Just curious.

I have a lot of Amish friends and there are a lot of different communities. I know some who can't use tractors and some who can, it depends on the community. Also I hope you got permission to film because that is against their rules to be filmed!

Pretty soon they'll be hiring people to read hand written Google search results at the local church.
