Amish forklift

This Amish forklift / tractor will be unloading our modern house kit Monday morning. Our contractor is not Amish but everyone on the crew is- makes documenting the house kit... interesting. ; ) But worth it, I wouldn't change a thing. : )

are they allowed to to attach an implament on to the 3 point linkage, or do they have to tow trailed implaments??

@cenjeff4600 I'm sorry but I do not know... I'll have to ask my neighbor next time I see her!

A demonstration would have been interesting.

@robbiedaug We couldn't give a demonstration because you can't film / photograph our Amish neighbors, sorry! : )

You can have a tractor but not rubber tyres? You can have loader but not attached to the tractor? What a bunch of idiotic fuckwits. Where dose it say that in your bastardised middle eastern story book, which was written by a bunch of cynical exploiters of the stupid, in the middle ages?

Interesting how easy it is to notice the differences in others and place them in a negative context. Not so easy to turn that light upon oneself and confront our own hypocrisy.

@johndeereman567 i agree,i like the combination of old traditional ways and new technology.i hope more people embrace this method of working.its seems stronger and more fulfilling.we should preserve the rustic traditions,leaving them behind is a great loss.

@yakyakyak69 I knew a guy that worked for a firm whose members were "Plymouth Brethren". (Yet another sect of 'zealot nutjobs' to use your words )He said went with the boss's son to pick up a brand new van from the dealers but the son refused to get in it until the radio had been removed! He demanded that they took it out there and then . My friend said he never felt so embarrassed for a long time. Yet by definition they used things like telephones and computers in their shop.

Nice tractor! lol I have on just like only mine will perform better in sand and loose dirt. Cant let the air out of the iron tires for soft sand work. Still kudos to them for sticking to what they believe.
