The parts available from the factory would have nothing to do with it. If the Amish want a tractor on steel, they are willing to make whatever they need to do the job. They are very clever and resourceful people. I don't know about steel sucking up horsepower, but, I do know steel wheels are a sad and helpless thing in mud. The ride of a steel wheeled tractor wouldn't be any worse than some other things they ride. Besides, the Amish don't seem to mind the lack of creature comforts that we take for granted. It depends on their individual beliefs, but, most Amish around here use mules or horses in the field and use tractors for belt and PTO power. They use the same belts and hoses we do. Its rubber tires that most don't use. By the way, it's not unusual to see them use a steam engine for belt power either.
