This is one of the latest JCB Fastrac models, 273HP & 40 MPH. These are very popular with contractors for high speed haulage with trailers & slurry tankers.

The NH dealer is also JCB agricultural selling a lot of telehanders to farmers.

amish here have one that they use to pull a tag-along for hauling heavy equipment, i've also seen them plowing with it

Does JCB use Perkins? Does the dealer sell JCB or NH telehandlers?

I've seen Mennonites use diesel tractors, but not the Amish. Every Amish person around here has to hire someone to take them to town or to a job site if they are building a pole barn or something. Perhaps the Amish are changing.

George there are Amish communities that use more modern equipment too. It is up to their local deacons as to what they can or can not use. There is no "national" Amish rules as such. Each community has their own rules. Around here a community/church is about 40-50 families. There can be several or more of them grouped together.

I sell grain to a group and just about all of them ride Bicycles with pneumatic tires but no phones. A neighboring group, that is mixed in with the first geographically, does not allow pneumatic tires but just about all the adults carry a cell phone for emergencies. They are just in different "church" group.

There are many different kinds of Amish with different rules, in different places.

Southern Illinois Amish use tractors, except on Sunday. They can have a cab, but the back window must be removed. Last week a local Amish boy was hit by a car as he was turning in a lane on a forklift.

JcB now build their own engines.

This NH dealer is quite independent & very successful, he had a visit from the fancy suits from Italy who demanded he sells only NH products. He is one of the largest volume sellers of JCB loadalls and McHale balers.

He told the Italian suits that it was His Business and he would sell what he wants. Or they could collect all their machinery

That was 2 years ago - and he is still a NH dealer.

Good for him. The AC/NH/NI/Brillion/etc. etc. dealer where I worked in the 70's is now a NH dealer. Apparently those Italian suits reach across the water too. They don't own the building, but dictated what color it must be painted!
