PA dialect question

Since moving here and not being from here I have noticed the the words "to be" are not in the PA vocabulary. They don't say "It needs to be fixed" They say "It needs fixed" and things like " It needs painted". I've even seen it worded that way in print ads. So why is that? I mean everybody says it that way around here. "Yinz" is grating enough but this makes me crazy.
