Steel Wheels on Tractors


When visiting the Amish Country you may notice some tractors have steel wheels.  Tractors with steel wheels are used by the Wenger Mennonites for farming.  The use of steel wheels ensures that the tractors are not used as a substitute for automobiles to run errands or to make more extensive trips than are convenient with horse-drawn carriages.   The Wenger Mennonites drive black horse-drawn carriages for transportation and are allowed to have electricity.
