Best way to get diesel into the tractor?

[ROUSTABOUT]

I see 2.2 gal/min on most of the battery ones (on LEVEL transfer - who does that???). What's the lift range? Can it pump from the ground to the tractors fuel tank (hood level)???

I fill big excavators that are way higher than my fuel tank. I have two hoses put together for length.

Another vote for the 2 D battery pump.
On my B7800 a 5 gal can just fits between loader arm and engine compartment.
and the 2d battery pump is perfect choice for me.

That’s what I’ve been using for 8 years now.
I have 3, one for nonE gas, diesel & DEF. Harbor freight, good price.

I have this tank which is great for storage on the shelf, but it's a bit awkward to fill the tank which the fill spout is on the hood of the LX2610.

Get one of these made in USA 12 V drum pumps and couple of suitable used 55 gallon plastic drums and be done with it most likely for a lifetime and then some.

I use a hand pump on the storage tank for off road diesel. Put it on a steel skid so I can lift it with loader and pallet forks. Giving me the choice to go to the filling station for off road diesel or have the truck come and fill it. Lots of tanks come up at farm auctions very cheap.

I've either a 2 1/2 gallon or 5 gallon plastic containers that I sit on the food well area of the tractor and use a Northern Tool battery powered pump to pump the fuel into the tractor tank on top. Has auto shutoff.

I'm 81 years old; the tank is in the cowl behind the hood of the 3054 Kioti. I pick the 6.5 gallon can up and pour the fuel into the tank. End of story

That's great; I put about 100 hours a year on the tractor, snow blowing the drive, chipping brush from blowdowns and maybe pulling a few stumps (small ones). I don't need a bulk tank and the fuel station is a quarter mile up the secondary road, but I don't like getting the tractor out on the roadway, thus the fueling method

The fill neck on my tractor is in front of the left floor board. Easy peasy, set it on the floor board tip it and dump it in the 4" diameter opening.
One of the differences I love over my old 8n, with the fuel tank above the engine, and the battery and starter below the fuel tank opening.
I am getting older and hoisting a five gallon fuel can to shoulder height and emptying it there was not fun 10 years ago, don't miss that at all.
And I don't have to contend with the modern slow glug feature either, an aftermarket vent cap solved that!
