Members Big Sioux Saddlery Posted December 15, 2018 Members Report Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) The owners of Smuckers Harness were Amish and many of them use air motors on their machines. I've see Amish shops that have a gas or diesel powered compressor outside or in a different area of the building, and run air lines to all the machines in the shop Even though this young man may not be Amish, judging from his clothing, if the machine came from the family's harness shop, that would explain why it has an air motor on it. Not so much a matter of power or torque as it is their beliefs. Edited December 15, 2018 by Big Sioux Saddlery Quote

Members Big Sioux Saddlery Posted December 16, 2018 Members Report Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Exactly, I guess I never actually said that. Lol. Although the amount of harness work the shop is doing now is a fraction of what they once did Edited December 16, 2018 by Big Sioux Saddlery Quote
