Here is anoyher dumb one...

How do you refuel your tractor? With my old JD, I just used 5 gal cans and didn't really care if I slopped some on the hood from either starting to pour, or over filling. When dust got thick from sticking to the residue I would just pressure wash it off or use an old rag to wipe it. But with my new Kubota, I cringe at the thought! I have a portable 14 gal tank with nozzle from Northern Tool for the gas toys (mowers, chainsaws, yard tools) but it works off of gravity and lifting 14 gal of diesel higher than the hood is not a feat I wish to try. So come on guys, I know there are some pretty creative guys out here.

There have been several threads dealing with this issue. Here's one:http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/owning-operating/111960-refueling-effort.html.

I use a 5 gallon can. I wait until it can hold more then 5 gallons. Then I tip the can up on the loader arm and let it empty.

The easy way without reading a bunch of stuff is going to be stick your 14 gallon tank in the loader bucket and raise it up to gain the gravity feed.
Disclaimer for the safety police: do it safe where nobody can walk under the loader or hit the control stick and drop it.

I have the same portable tank. I hoist it up on one of the walls in my shed with a rope and pulley.

After years of fighting the low flow enviro 6 gallon cans, I gave in a bought a 100 gallon tank w/ a 15GPM 12VDC pump and installed it in my pickup. Now I either drive my truck to the equipment or vice versa and pump fuel in just like I'm at the filling station. No more screwing w/cans unless it's for the chainsaw or weedeater.

My dear wife got tired of me going out to "pour diesel fuel all over myself" (especially when fueling my Bobcat) so she suggested a fuel trailer as our joint Christmas present 2 years ago. I got one split into 2 tanks so I have diesel for the Bobcat and tractor and gas for the ATVs. I got the manual pumps to save money, but since one pull/push is 1/2 gallon it's fast. It is just wonderful and now she can fuel them on her own if I am not home.

Not cheap, but it is built to last forever.

Thanks for the link... is the two tank design a special order?

I checked website for pricing and filled out an inquiry form.
