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.

I think what people are feeling... but failing to vocalize... is that the Amish almost come off as hypocritical, Which if I'm not mistaken.. is a sin. 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.

The wagons ought to have brakes on the wheels so that the horses don't get run over headed down hill. It is amazing to see the "willingness to serve" in those horses. The Amish here don't have to go to the equipment dealers to acquire new model tractors. Some Amish do have tractors-with steel wheels. Other groups have regular cars and tractors and electricity.

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.

It’s interesting. The Amish work on my barn, outbuildings, etc. they cut ice off my pond in the winter. They use all sorts of modern tools. They have drivers. They have cell phones. When they put the metal roof on my barn about 20 years ago, they used a generator to run a compressor which ran air tools. 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. Dewalt, Milwaukee, etc. Very unique rules. Each sect or group has a bishop who sets the rules for the group?

It’s not really sustainable. The horses require ridicules amounts of land to be fed, weather they are at work or not. Tractors don’t cost the farmer a cent when they aren’t being used. 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.

@@joeblank618 on a job by job basis, horses break down just as much as tractors and it's illegal (animal cruelty) to take them to that job by job basis. If you take a team of horses and have them plow a three hundred acre lot in the same time a tractor can do the same job (job by job basis) you've injured your horses and committed a crime.

Does seem slightly nuts. Tractors in the yard but not in the field ! If I were them I would re write the rule book. Though quite impressive watching the horses pull that rig with relative ease. Interesting exercise would be putting a 8hp tractor in front of that lot.!!

Abeonthehill Because they draw a line and don't cross the line unless they change rules. They believe that work keeps them busy, and also "grounded" in a way that keeps their spiritual life at the center. Working with, and caring for the animals takes a lot more time and effort...its a lifestyle. If they started using tractors how long before they started driving cars? If they started driving cars how long before they lose their entire identity as a separate society? I had a couple stay at my farm to re-side the barn...they used a gasoline powered table saw. They were young guys, about 21 years old. Their favorite meal was pizza and Moxie.

It is for the most part a church run form of socialism. If you look at this set up he is trying to straddle the need for high production agriculture and the the total domination of his so called religion. They are known to be hard on horses as evidenced by the heavy load they are pulling here. They also use trotters to pull their buggys and on more than occasion I have come across buggy's stopped in the middle of the road with the horse laying there dead from having been run so hard they drop over.

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.
