I have a question for you… I’ve been looking at these and larger because the 5 gallons cans are getting too difficult to handle as I get older…
Do you fill the caddy using a pick up truck mounted fuel tank with transfer pump or do you bring the caddy to the gas station? I’d imagine the 25 gallon caddy is hefty when full and would be difficult to get on and off my pick up. Knowing I would have to take off my pick up and place on ground at gas station to fill and then get the full caddy back up on my truck is problematic.
A neighbor or of mine has a 50 gallon and a 75 gallon tank that the local coop comes out and fills and thinking about going that way as well but the 25 gal fuel caddy has always intrigued me. Thanks
I've fill it 2 ways either wheel it on my small utility trailer with a ramp, drive a few miles to the station that sells off-road diesel (securing it with ratchet straps on trailer) or fill it at location with my collection of now mostly unused Jerry cans. Either way works for me. I also add biocide to it. Btw it's a 35 gal capacity similar to screen shot below but was originally red with a grounding wire had for a few yrs now no problems with it

Got tired of messing with (lifting) 5-gallon tanks and have not regretted getting a Lee Agra 200-gallon tank.

Ended up getting a second one for gasoline, and a few 325-gallon totes for diesel, to easily replenish the Lee Agra tank with. That the fuel is also cheaper when delivered than at the gas station is just icing on the convenience cake.

I got one of these. Expensive but the 12v pump and auto shut-off handle is worth it to me. I load it on the skid steer forks and drive it around to the equipment/trucks. Hook her up to the skiddy battery and pump the fuel. Fill it back up every month or so at the lowest cost station on GasBuddy.

Adding this lift... I can once again enjoy doing some of the routine maint. on my cars and know how it was done. Save money and teach my sons how to do things. This is my son's car we are doing brakes on.

Stihl gas pole saw HT135 with 45 degree angle top . Why the heck I climbed up step and straight ladders with a one-handed saw in the first place , I don't know ............
I bought a Stihl 135 since I asked the question. This pole trimmer is incredible. I can add it to the list of things I should have bought years ago.

Nice lift. Is that portable or bolted to floor? Is it fairly stable? What brand/model?

Surprised no one has said condoms or birth control. :D

Husband: There are two broken condoms sitting on the couch.
Wife: I wish you would stop referring to our kids that way.
