It all depends on the particular community. South of Hutchinson, KS there is a large Amish community and as you indicated they use regular tractors for both field work and for general transportation. In that town it is common to see tractors with two-wheel trailers in tow motoring down the streets and parked at stores. Other communities will use modern tractors in the field but only when equipped with steel wheels. My understanding is that this is based on their interpretation of Ephesians 2:2 and maybe other scriptures that suggest that the devil is the ruler of the air and thus making air-filled tires "bad". Steel wheels would also prevent the tractor's use for general transportation purposes. Still other communities, and the ones typically thought of when talking about the Amish, avoid all "mechanized power" and use only "horse power".
