I just returned from visiting my son in Wi. who lives amongst a group of old order Mennonite. I used to live there also. I have a lot of Mennonite friends. The old order Mennonites use modern tractors fitted with steel wheels but use a horse and buggy to travel to town and church. There are also new order Mennonites in the area who drive cars and trucks and rubber tired tractors. The owner started out doing tractor repair in a garage about 20'X30'. Hoover metals of Curtiss Wi. has made steel wheels since about 1995. He also makes just about anything a farmer would ever need made from steel. I took my grandson out with me and we brought back a bale grabber made in his shop. We toured the shop and saw 2 big CNC lathes, large shears, rollers used to make the wheels, a computerized table for plasma cutting of steel pieces and other things. The day we were there the crew was building manure tanks for trucks and one fella was making new axles for a manure tanker. I didn't get any pictures of tractor wheels but have pictures of skid steer wheels and what appears to be a Case telehandler. He makes several different attachments for skidsteers. I saw an apron chain for a Potato Digger he made when we picked up the bale grabber.
