The mill is across the road from the farm and while working i have seen numerous pieces of equipment pulled with horses. These include balers, hay cutters and rakes, corn harvester and all the wagons associated with them. There is an amish school right next door and it is cute to see some of the kids take little buggies pulled by ponies, some put on inline skates to scoot home on and the rest just pop off their shoes to walk home barefoot. As a side note, the sawmill workers are some of the hardest workers i have seen and the ones i give a ride home to never grumble or complain in my presence. All around honorable people i have met. I should not all the power requirements of the farm equipment and the entire mill are run with generators.

They have Amish values but have things like cars and can use things of this nature. They are in between the Amish and us.

They even use rubber tires but there bolted to a steel wheel with no air in them.

I have yet to see a horse pulling anything other than a buggy!
