update, drove to the fuel depot, just under 10 miles. My street registration only allows me to drive on roads with posted 40mph or less, (ok with me) so, it's backroads, in winter, a few slick sports. I run winter street tires, no issue empty. On the way back, that additional 135 lbs of fuel (6.88x20) on one side of the bed, makes it wallow a bit, not a big deal on dry pavement, but slushy black ice is different, easy to make the choice to keep speeds under 25
Much better than a transfer tank in a pickup, I can go anywhere the tractor can go

Ride all those things safe!

The filler on my tractor's fuel tank is over 5 feet off the ground, saves lifting 5 gallon containers. All I have to do is put the hose in,, just like at a gas station, and hand crank the pump till it clicks off, my next improvement will be an electric pump
off road diesel saves me 48¢/gal road use tax

Ah yes. I see your point.
I often drove a big old Ford Tractor off and on for 25yrs.
Bucket on the front, a mowing deck on the back.
Often had to use a can to fill it...standing on the greasy arm of the bucket. Yeah, way up top. Diesel doesn't come in small cans :)
I filed an employee incident report with the personnel director after my new BMW cap went through the mower deck. "Low branch knocked it off." I loved that hat, purchased at a discount beach shop in Florida. We got special treatment every restaurant we went into!
'Who was driving the tractor, Tom?'
"That's neither here nor there - look at my new BMW hat!"

loader up front, backhoe on the back. I am using it for snow removal duties, works better than my UTV that could only push snow, not really pile it
only advantage to the UTV is that it starts right up, my tractor don't like starting much below 30°. I picked up a block heater, not installed yet, till then, a heat lamp and recycle the glow plugs a half dozen times
