That kind of experience would be valued around here. Ever seen an electric ceiling fan that has been converted to run off compressed air? Ever seen a farm tractor being pulled by a large team of horses, while the tractor runs in neutral to power a baler that is being pulled behind the tractor. Yes..... a large team of horses in the front, pulling a tractor that is in neutral, that is pulling a baler that is being powered by the tractors PTO. Ever seen a travel trailer mounted on a farm wagon that is being pulled by horses? That's a comfy Amish bus for old folks. No kidding!
