Electricity is not the problem.   The Amish might be allowed electricity (In 
some areas, remember the locals control what is/is not allowed), but it is 
less likely they will be allowed TV.    The filth will keep them away from 
TV.

Some Amish have tractors.    I presume that group would use tractor powered 
equipment.    Those who have horses are unlikely to be allowed the stuff you 
saw.

I'm sure the show was aimed not at the Amish, but as rich horse owners, just 
like the rest of that channel appearently is (from what I've heard here - I 
don't have a TV myself).   Some of the rich people I know come home from 
their day job and go to work on their hobby farm with horses.   They are very 
likely to use a horse to pull such machines.   Money is not an issue (Really 
to have horses money cannot be an issue), the issue is what gives them 
pleasure now.
