There are several of the Amish maple producers in this area that have RO's. They take the electric motors off and run them with a hydraulic motor.

Stupid guestion how do they run the hydralic's. Lived around them my whole life also and never could figure out all the rules. Except courting day was Sunday afternoon.

The ones i've seen are run by a diesel engine driving a hydraulic pump. As a matter of fact, the local dealer for maple supplies is Amish and does a great job at it. He is a dealer for Leader, and has a large inventory and also buys bulk syrup as well.
