darned good question. makes no sense but shouldn't try to make sense of the aamish
one thought is they need to be connected to the earth and rubber tires (air inside) separate them as you are floating on air.. but its rare to have one turn down a ride in a car.
another thought is tires are to "fancy". some areas the bishop (and its up to your local bishop) won't let them ride bicycles but they can ride a scooter (the kind you kick your self along with one foot) on air tires???.
Some areas they can use regular rubber tired tractors but the tractors must by older (like 40-50 years old) and others can have NO tractors at all... some can have a tractor but can only use it as a power unit like on a feed grinder or silo filler, generator ect. as long as its not field work.
some around here use newer modern tractors (regular air filled tires) as their business truck and pull a trailer loaded with all their work stuff. many are set up with a road gear so they fly down the road but not fast enough to keep up with traffic. definitely a road hazard.
so as i said... makes no sense.
most have generators to power stuff... some use air compressors and all thier tools are air tools... others doe the same thing with hydraulic units... doesn't matter where the power comes from its all the same. you turn diesel into electric energy, stored air engrgy or stored hydraulic energy.. its all "fancy"

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
