Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Some of us are less interested in what's "Popular" I guess.

As far as the Amish goes, I might go as far to say interesting. Amazing wouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind. I mean, if they had "invented" a better alternative to electricity or even cell phones for that matter..

I grew up with the Amish in very close proximity to me and I have worked with them multiple times and as far as I am concerned as a group, as a religion they are amazing In multiple ways, is there a way of life for me **** no, but they mostly follow the religious direction of their leaders and I respect them for it

There are a suprising number of documentaries on them and the menonites. I started getting bombarded with them from Apple TV/Youtube a year or so ago and watched a half dozen easily. A lot of dispair there, especially with the young, who find leaving difficult when they can't function at beyond a six grade level or so, because all they were pretty much taught (in school) was the bible.

I am sure all those documentaries we well thought out by even minded producers

NOT!

More Amish hauling stuff wrong, but the cool kind of wrong.

It's pretty amazing the things they do sometimes. A few years ago I posted how things have gone full circle... almost 100 years ago Harry Ferguson revolutionized farming when he invented the 3 point hitch which led to bigger, more efficient equipment. Now I see Mennonites pulling converted 3 and 4 bottom 3 PTH plows behind their horses. They apparently can use a phone, but aren't allowed to have one in their homes. I see old rotary sawmills powered by gasoline engines, but don't remember ever seeing a band sawmill. It's not at all uncommon to see a group of Amish waiting at the local bus station for a ride out of town.
A few years ago we were cruising timber down in PA, and the landowner's rep told us that they have many Amish cutting wood for them. They can run a skidder and use a chainsaw, they just can't own them. It's a lifestyle which I would never choose, yet they certainly thrive on the simpler ways.

I do not see it as wrong, I see it as "their" way

Also, I don't think the cord was plugged in, so no lights or brakes. A half mile in the direction he was coming from the road tee'd into a US highway, and a half mile in the direction he was going the road turned into a back country road (likely 55 mph). It was in the middle of nowhere, so he had low population density on his side. The town where I saw this was small and unincorporated. I only saw him go slow through town.

That front drivers side trailor tire does not look like its doing well either

Be careful criticizing that pic, it seems there are a lot of fans of idiot drivers on this thread!

Well I think I am safe, unless there are a lot of fans of idiot tire handlers
