Then after a whole bunch more sweat and hours, the area is starting to clean up, and my log pile is really expanding

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Helicopters don't need a "Strip" :)

Or go the much cheaper route of fixed wing and strip, there is always powered paragliding!

It's either going to be a Super Huey 2, or maybe a Bell 412, or an AW-139...Painted OD green of course
It seems like most of your equipment is diesel so having a gasoline tank may not be as beneficial but I believe it is possible to get tax exempt gasoline similar to off-road diesel. At least I thought we did on the farm.
When it comes to fuel tanks my plan is to purchase and own the fuel tanksHowever, I want a local propane company to install a 500 or 1,000 gallon tank into a pit I will construct. I have a reason for doing it that way...The fuel will be purchased from a local company which routinely sells to farms...Plan on seeing temporary fuel through until next year, however, I plan to have propane on property when the cold Wx hits.
Will they let you or even service an underground propane tank?

Couple of things that might make me captain obvious. Burying propane takes requires a coated tank with an anode for corrosion. Propane=fuel that never goes bad. Gasoline. For farm use see if you can find a farm supply place. I have one that sells 93 octane with zero ethanol. Mo better for small engines and storage life. I second Shawns aux tank in the truck idea. You can get a 90 gallon transfer tank and after you get your farm tanks it will still be good to have more fuel on board the truck for bug outPopular choice seems to be the RDS from northern tool. I have one and have been pleased. I think they only carry the 60 but can order the 90. Note that the capacity is theoretical. I only get 55 in my 60. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Shawn isn't the service life shorter on in ground tanks? I seem to recall that as one reason I decided on above ground. A properly installed propane tank with a good bag of anode wired to it will last 30+ years. My neighbor is a propane installer & has personally removed rented underground tanks that were 20-30 years old & were in great shape. The weakest link is the wire to the anode bag. in my situation, Keep this in mind, I had to pour a 10" pad & strap my tank to it because of my water table. A buried propane tank will float if the area gets flooded. In Mass, where I'm from, a 500 gallon tank, up to 200' of line & regulator goes for $2,500.00 installed.
What makes Bush Hog that much better? I'm in the market for a cutter too and would like to know.
That shiny new one up there must be defective. I don't see no tree cutter option!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!

WOW, I cannot believe how different it all looks Don! You can see down to the well site, correct? Sunday was way HOT in Missouri as well - home now, catching up on "yard work" that was neglected while playing in the heat down south!
