I work with the Amish on a regular bassis. The power tools they use at work belong to their driver, not them. Among many other things I have found and gotton for them over the years is table saws that are belt driven to put the gas engine on, same with Maytag washing machines as they are the only wringer washer that parts are avaible and belt driven so can have the gas engine hooked up. I don't know how many dozens of steel wheel hay rakes I have furnished them over the years. along with other machinery. And I have been the driver many a time. Never saw an Amish baby cry. And one of my friends is as I understand the bishop. They do not use tractors or forecarts with engines. For belt powered equipment they have an engine mounted on a wagon gear. And they try to watch for traffic very well. For rubber tired equipment they are required to convert to steel in 2 years but it is not enforced. And they do not own the cell phones they use but their drivers own them. They are now using solar powered fence chargers. The phone that sets in a little building is usually a pay phone owned by the phone company. Many of their neighbors will have a phone in the barn for them to use. They will usually leave a bit of change to help pay for cost of the phone. I don't know how the one friend that has a big mechanery repair bussiness and builds new machinery is running multiple arc welders 12 hours a day. But he still has the hanging lamps in bussiness. They about all are using the small head mounted battery powers lights now. And they even hired a driver to bring then the 50 mile to the funeral visitation for my wife 3 years ago. And I had mennonite friends as well. He owned the local lumber yard. And was the founder of the local 2 cylinder club but he would not have a meeting on Sunday, always on a saturday. So I do know the difference.
