Propane tractor

Huge? I might be interested in that one.

I believe it is a 300 gallon tank.

I remember lots of trucks with propane tanks in the back in the 1970s. Haven’t seen them for years. Must not be economically viable compared to gasoline or diesel.

Propane is bulky, not as easy or quick to fill up, and the gasoline engine converted to propane has a power reduction and thus mpg reduction which reduces the price advantage that propane otherwise has.

If you can deal with the other detractions, it's probably still generally cheaper per mile, but I suspect most people aren't willing to make those tradeoffs.

Considering I just filled my home tanks for $1.55/gal a couple weeks ago, I can see the revival of the propane conversion...

My wife has a propane powered John Deere for sale. $3500 for tractor and $5,000 for tractor, hay forks, bush hog, blade, and huge propane tank

Thanks, but I was hoping for about 5,000 gallons.

Wow, I had the two 500 and one 1,000 gallon tank filled yesterday, for....$2.49/gallon. Would've never guessed it'd be cheaper in CA, let alone by that much.

How does one get easy access, if you don't mind?

I have a propane filling station at one of my businesses

Nice! So probably a 10,000 gallon tank or better, right?

I forgot to ask the propane guy yesterday, but doesn't it require electricity to pump the propane from the storage tank into a delivery truck or smaller tanks?
